He uses Canadian musician Neil Young's music for his campaign events.
Most telling: He's a long-time birther. But now that he's officialy in the race he's reversed his position on Ted Cruz, saying that someone Canadian-born is eligible to be President.
Speaking of Canada - the "Mrs." and I were in Canada a couple or so years ago and she bought a really pretty jacket of the, a "True North" brand. It had a nice maple leaf on the sleeve, "True North" name, and the label stated "Strong and Free". The fine print said "made in China." She asked if they had something actually made in Canada, but no. She bought it anyway, what the hell. I also bought a nice sweater, also not from Canada, but at least mine said "Fabrique en Chine." There's no point here, except it's just continually discouraging to run into instances where the severe and unrecoverable losses of in-country manufacturing are so obvious. The good part, I guess, is that when Trump is President he'll "make" all those companies stop going to other countries.
LOL, there was a time when I thought Koch-puppet Walker might be one of the more formidable nominees. The 2016 GOP Klown Kar is explained by GOP voters.

A CNN/ORC poll released on Sunday found Walker, who was once leading the crowded GOP field, registered less than half a percentage point of support among Republican voters.
Otoh, the question was bogus. It's unlikely that this was Aimee Teegarden's fault, but rather the fault of the pageant organizers - ultimately, you guessed it, Donald Trump - that gave her the question.

It's an 'effin beauty pageant, ferpetesake. You expect thoughtful questions? But her "second chance" answer on Good Morning America was much better - starting out with something like "all my friends and I can find the US on a map and everybody I know can. But if there are that many who can't, they should improve geography classes"
Caitlin has done pretty well for herself - third place in "Amazing Race," some modeling/ad work, and now a real estate agent in CA.

Of course not, but accurate facts would be nice, as would pageant/Aimee Teegarden mea culpas when the contestant is getting raked over the coals for her answer. Anyhow, I just thought it was interesting trivia that Caitlin Upton's flub wasn't the only one.

There's some irony there.

Cait's answer in this case was so bad it wouldn't have mattered what the question had been. She got flustered, and when she made errors became more so. But her hours and hours of beauty contest training kicked in and kept her looking pretty and saying the things she had learned about responses... give examples, "such as" , expand the question.. "the Iraq"... Unfortunately the automatic training didn't engage her brain. She definitely made the right move to own her goof and make fun of herself.
