I love American elections !

Talk about the guy with the best shot at getting us into a war with Russia, Iran or China.....

China has gotten rich off us,” Donald J. Trump told supporters. “China has rebuilt itself with the money it’s sucked out of the United States and the jobs that it’s sucked out of the United States.”

Where exactly did Bernie say it was "those others" that caused our problems?

Virtually his entire campaign, Wilbeer. It's the fault of corporations, the rich, the military, etc. etc.

Hard to buy off a billioneer

No we have not elected them.. they were chosen by the donors who are the only voters who determine who gets on the general election ballot. Then we get to vote on the stacked deck. Which means very little.

I think we need to grab our towels and stow away on the next freighter passing by the earth before the Bernie and Donald show ramps up.

Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed. Their mistaken course stems from false notions of equality, ladies and gentlemen. Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.

He is an affront to anyone devoted to the project William F. Buckley began six decades ago with the founding in 1955 of the National Review — making conservatism intellectually respectable and politically palatable. Buckley’s legacy is being betrayed by invertebrate conservatives now saying that although Trump “goes too far,” he has “tapped into something,” and therefore. . . .

Ready for Donald?

Agreed.


Just wondering who "those others"were.

He does not blame anyone for our problems ,but,he does believe there is a inequality problem .



Easier for you to read into .

I'm voting for Hillary.

Bernie can't win, and couldn't get much done if he did. O'Malley isn't ready for the job, Webb can't win, and doesn't tick my positions boxes.

Biden is too old, or he would be my first choice. Warren would get my vote but she won't run, and if she ran and won would face similar obstacles as Bernie in getting a policy agenda implemented.

Meanwhile the entire GOP is a clown-car collection of useful idiots in servitude to the 1%, the war-mongering neocon Israel-firsters, X-tian fundies, and their mouth-breather moron base.

Jeb! was supposed to be the "smart" Bush..and is a bigger idiot than his numtpy failure of a brother, and with less charm. Terry Shaivo, and "I'd invade Iraq if I had it to do over again". Yeah? Well eff you Jebby, go back to Kennebunkeport and hide you shitweasel.

Rubio...lolz. Guy can't even manage his own checking account, much less a country. Personal finances are a disaster. Never held any real job that wasn't political patronage handout or politician, nor accomplished anything as a politician.

Walker...known criminal and tool of the Kochs. Tried to retract his state's open records law, blew up the budget, and says no abortion exception even in cases of rape, incest, or high risk of death to the mother. Get lost, you smarmy f*#k.

Donald...guy got high on his own supply of ego. Five bankruptcies, after inheriting a fortune from his pops, and people hold this guy up as some kind of successful businessman? Yeah, let's give this blowhard idiot the nuke codes. Take that dead possum on your head, and go fly away in your private jet.

Carly...HP fail. Buh bye.

Hucksterbee...truly insane end-times evangelical type, who runs mostly to get his grift on. Supported the child molester family with 27 kids, and let some criminal killer walk who then killed some more. Stellar judgement you fat f*#k, just take your bass and go play in a backwoods congregation sunday service somewhere, we're all stocked up on god botherers around here.

Chris Crisco Christie...The Outlaw Jersey Whale. Biggest as#@&%e of the lot, and biggest ass of the lot too. That toughguy bullshit might pass as vaugel charming in Joisey, the rest us say "go f*#k yourself, fatty". Aside from the criminal bs with using state helo to attend his kids baseball game, the bridgegate scandal will sink this weeble wobble.

Randy "Son of crazy Uncle Liberty" Paul. Never trust a man with two first names, or a rug that bad.

Ted Cruz..."do I like green eggs and ham?" I'd like them if you choke on them, you McCarthy look-a-like smarmy slimeball. Govt shutdown temper tantrum blowhard. Hated by both sides, including his own GOP colleagues in the Senate because he's a back stabbing as#@&%e. The kind of guy if you met on the street you'd either mistake for a huckster preacher, used car salesman, or grifter.

Kaisch...the only one of the entire GOP lot I'd even remotely consider sane, competent and able.

Payush "Bobby" Jindal...any exorcisms lately Kenneth the Page? I know they love a drink in New Orleans, presumably the entire state was drunk when this guy was elected.

"We have to go in by force," Trump said. "We have to take the oil."

One of our biggest problems is political correctness
Trump

Nugent said, "I'm a big fan of Donald Trump because I believe in bold, aggressive, unapologetic truth. Period. And I'm not a fan of Megyn Kelly, although I often turn on Fox just to look at her. Sometimes when I'm loading my magazines, I like to just look at her. And I usually sit naked on the couch dropping hot brass on my stuff."


Nugent then criticized Kelly for asking Trump about his history of sexist comments, stating, "I'm afraid the gorgeous, stunning, otherwise professional and tuned-in Megyn Kelly absolutely fell of the cliff of political correctness when she proposed that obnoxious, meaningless, nonsensical, biased question for Donald Trump."

Nugent continued: "Megyn Kelly absolutely broke all of our hearts as only a Megyn Kelly could when she went into the status quo world. She isn't status quo, but she started acting, and sounding, and looking like one, and I don't believe she is. I think she is playing some games, either that or she's getting bad advice, either that or she's just getting stupid. Either way, Donald Trump is the good guy, currently Megyn Kelly ain't."


Like Trump, Nugent has a history of misogynist commentary. He has called Hillary Clinton a "worthless bitch" and a "toxic c#&%," and labeled other women "worthless whore," "fat pig," and "dirty whore."

"Preachiness" doesn't swing both ways?

Erick Erickson, the head of the RedState Gathering and a Fox News contributor, barred the GOP front-runner from appearing at the event's closing tailgate party after Trump said Kelly had blood coming out of her eyes and "her… wherever" while moderating Thursday's Republican primary debate.

But Erickson has called First Lady Michelle Obama a "Marxist harpy," once labeled retired Supreme Court Justice David Souter a "goat f---ing child molester," and slammed Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis as an "Abortion Barbie."

would any lib dem here vote Jeb over Trump?

I wouldn't waste my vote.

Trump is a complete and total POS

The Obama administration deported a record 438,421 unauthorized immigrants in fiscal year 2013, continuing a streak of stepped up enforcement that has resulted in more than 2 million deportations since Obama took office, newly released Department of Homeland Security data show.

Some immigrant advocates have dubbed Obama the “deporter in chief” over the fact that his administration has deported about as many immigrants in five years as the George W. Bush administration deported in eight years.

Marco Rubio dismissed Donald Trump’s immigration plan today as not feasible, and said he disagreed with the billionaire about ending birthright citizenship.

“I’m open to doing things that prevent people who deliberately come to the U.S. for the purposes of taking advantage of the 14th Amendment, but I’m not in favor of repealing it,” Rubio told reporters at the Iowa State Fair Tuesday morning. “I haven’t read his plans, I’ve only read press accounts on some of them. But obviously there’s some ideas that have merit, but the majority of it is really not a workable plan that could ever pass Congress.”…

“We have 12 or 13 million human beings that have been here for a long time. And there is really no, there’s not really a realistic way of rounding up and deporting 12 or 13 million people and our nation wouldn’t want to do that anyway,” Rubio said.

Bluering: Trump 2016! (or Cruz, or Carson...). I stick by my choices, I have thought it through extensively.

Federal drug agents say Mexican cartel surveillance teams have set up observation posts on most of the mountain-tops in the Arizona
west desert area, from the Mexican border to Phoenix more than 100 miles north.
Most of that land sits inside the vast Tohono O'odham Indian reservation, which is the size of Connecticut,
but is sparsely populated by only about 20,000 residents.

Clinton, couldn't even get the nomination in 2008

New Reuters Poll just came out and has me at 32%, highest number yet. The silent majority is back and we will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

“I don’t want any strings attached," Donald J. Trump said. “I turned down $5 million last week from a very important lobbyist because there are total strings attached to a thing like that. He’s going to come to me in a year or two years, and he’s going to want something for a country that he represents or a company that he represents. That’s the kind of money I won’t take.”

Markets are crashing - all caused by poor planning and allowing China and Asia to dictate the agenda. This could get very messy! Vote Trump.

They should keep Obama another 4 years.

protected by two oceans and Canada!

As a country, we are circling the drain. I think people actually bought into the "American exceptionalism" bullsh#t. We were LUCKY. Giant pool of natural resources, protected by two oceans, only manufacturing center left standing after WWII.

I can't imagine why any sentient being would vote for Chump.

it's just tribal resentment politics

Attempting to out-conservative Trump is folly — even if the guy is a former liberal who nakedly reinvented himself for this campaign. Trump, if he is thinking about anything, is not thinking about preserving his electability should he somehow win the Republican nomination. He is taking the most conservative positions possible on a range of issues — and otherwise viable contenders are doing themselves damage by trying to match him.

Nobody has been hurt by Trump more than Walker, who has seen his support drop nearly in half in the last month, to single digits. After his flat performance in the debate, he lost his longtime lead in Iowa. His donors and supporters are jittery, and, as my Post colleagues Jenna Johnson and Sean Sullivan reported last week, he tried to reassure them with a vow to emphasize his conservatism with more passion.

That could explain the birthright-citizenship fiasco. A day after Trump declared his opposition to granting automatic citizenship to those born on American soil, Walker embraced the same position, only to jettison it six days later.

Are you saying that sort of politics exists in just the Republican party?

I still think he is performing a World Class April Fools joke on America

y'all better come to Southern California and start a small entrepreneurial business and meet a few of the people emigrating

November, 2016 ...

I totally disagree with the FOX statement. I do not think Megyn Kelly is a quality journalist. I think her questioning of me, despite all of the polls saying I won the debate, was very unfair. Hopefully in the future I will be proven wrong and she will be able to elevate her standards to a level of professionalism that a network such as FOX deserves.

More importantly, I am very pleased to see the latest polls from Public Policy Polling showing me at a strong number one with 35% in New Hampshire, the Monmouth University poll showing me, again at number one, with 30% in South Carolina and the latest national poll from Gravis where I am again the clear front runner with 40%. It was also just announced that I won the prestigious corn kernel poll at the Iowa State Fair by a landslide.


I will be in Iowa tonight with my speech being broadcast live on CNN and other networks. My sole focus in running for the Presidency is to Make America Great Again!

I would rather have ferrets gnawing on my scrotum.
