Trump (Page 18)

Hey, can you imagine how boring this race would be if it were Bush vs. Clinton.  At least the Republicans are trying to make things interesting.  You Democrats need to hurry up and get Sanders up in the polls so we can have a Trump vs. Sanders to make it really interesting.  

News flash - politicians are liars.

Is it ever appropriate to make comparisons between candidates seeking elective office and those who have previously held or currently hold the office?  If someone says that Ted Cruz is ill prepared to be president since he's been a Senator for such a short time, is it permissible to make a comparison to Obama? 

You must have me confused with someone else.  I'm libertarian - I know they're all liars.  The partisans can stomach lies from their politicians, so long as it advances the agenda they support.  You are rightfully upset about Trump's comments about Muslims because those lies alienate and hurt people you know or a group of people that you understand to be good, peaceful people (paraphrasing from your other posts on the subject) - PolitiFact backs you up.  I knew that I would be screwed by the Affordable Care Act, but it doesn't upset me any less when President Obama lied over and over to the American people about it - PoliciFact backs me up.  According to PolitiFact, only about half of what Hillary Clinton says is true or mostly true which is a little better than President Obama and Rand Paul, but much better than Pelosi's 18% or Trump's 6%.   

As for prior to 2008 - politicians who fail to recognize the unintended consequences resulting from the way the US handled Iraq and, to a lessor extent Afghanistan, will doom us to more of the same.  Unfortunately, the party nominees are likely to be very similar when it comes to US military involvement in the middle east.  Clinton is as hawkish as anyone on the GOP side.

IMO, in some ways, this country deserves Trump as President.  We might as well get as stupid as we can and quit beating around the bush.

People have been photoshopping Trump's face on to old Cavin & Hobbes cartoons. It's amazing how well some of them work out. 

Looks like it's a dusty hit piece from his early days when he was struggling in business repackaged as click bait.

I watched the video and the 80's hair is enough to keep you entertained, but certainly nothing earth shattering.

There's been a lot of attention lately to his 1999 interview where he was espousing NY values and that he was pro-choice.  It's amazing that even that doesn't get his opponents any traction. (from a political sense).
From my perspective, I really don't care where he is on social issues.  I want somebody who is going to break the corruption in DC.

yay. 

I don't dislike Sarah, but it amazes me how much of a cult following she has in Conservative land.  Believe it or not she's one of, if not THE, most sought after endorsements on the republican side.  I don't really get it myself, but I know Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) went from an obscure nobody to front runner (and ultimate victor) with her endorsement in Nebraska so there is something to it.

This from one of the leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement on twitter......

"Palin endorses Trump in 17 minute run on sentence"

"what's she even talking about"

"she's what it would sound like if the teacher from Charlie Brown spoke real words"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Eh.....I don't participate in social media (no personal accounts and absolutely no desire for any), but I do follow some of the leading protesters and other people that may be applicable to my job.  I'm an information junkie when it comes to my work....and unfortunately,  I spend quite a bit of time keeping up with what's new in social trends......from protests to drugs to criminal enterprises of any kind..  My unit uses social media extensively.....it's amazing what people will reveal about themselves and what they have done.....or plan to do.

Actually, I'm looking forward to the day when I don't care about that anymore.....soon enough  I'm going to concentrate harder on what's at the end of a fishing pole.      My social media days will be OVER......it's a sewer and I won't miss it.

I listened to Palin's endorsement speech this morning............good lord, that woman made me want to poke my eardrums out with a pencil.
