... even if the Greens, the libertarians and all of the signers of the Declaration show up. ... Hey, if enough people show (include the moderators), they could have a football game! |

I will also say a dozen Hail Mary's. So would that be Hail Maries? hail yes. |

I thought the GOP was on the verge of a meltdown before. Today got even more bizarre. Maybe Pence will be the next prezzie.

Yep. I read that last night. "Interesting" is not really a strong enough word.

What's all this about Tramp? Did he come over to the 'hole for a visit?

It's difficult these days to have any connection to reality and not be one.

Sorry, there's going to have to be a lot more of this until there has to be an election. That's how it works. The unfit candidate meme will not fly. Especially since, apparently, that has become a feature not a flaw. |

There is one thing I will say about the Donald -- he is a seemingly tireless campaigner. I mean, there is hardly a day where you don't see him making an appearance, a speech, an interview somewhere, always dressed well, broiled to perfection and coiffed according to his bizarre specifications. Hair/makeup probably takes an hour each day.
I guess he has no vices, other than being addicted to himself, so perhaps he gets a lot of rest, and it must be VERY helpful to have your own Boeing 757, but still, at age 70 he has an impressive motor.

Easier to look at than Hillary though. Just ask Bill. If I was handling immigration and Hillary and Melania showed up wanting in, I'd take Melania and deport Hillary. This has nothing to do with politics. |

So would that be Hail Maries? hail yes. The Hail Marys didn't work. Trump is still here. Now working on my fifth Bloody Mary. |

Not a single person here or in the media last Feb thought Trump with win the nomination (including me). We were all wrong. Every attack on Trump has turned into a boost for Trump. As Bill said he's tireless. Debates are just reality TV and Trump is a master of reality TV. Every debate the pundits will say Clinton won on issues, but Trump will win on reality TV.
The saving grace for all the anti-Trumpers will be that President The Donald won't have a party in congress and won't be able to do much. He will be a one termer (he won't run a second time) and if he doesn't screw up too bad Pence will have a good shot, if he does some Dem will win in 2020.

George Dubbya Bush is actually a big Trump supporter. If Trump wins, then Dubbya is thinking he'll no longer be remembered as the worst president in the history of the USA.

Trump is many things, but I have hard time thinking of him as being more likely to start WWIII, or any other war, than Hillary. Hillary would be a continuation of our current, largely bi-partisan, foreign policy. How likely is that Trump will be either nuttier or more dangerous? There is no room, none, on the "nuttier side" of the ledger and very little, and rapidly disappearing, room on the "more dangerous" end of the stick.
Our four previous "mainstream" presidents have kept this country mired in nearly thirty-years of non-stop war in the Middle East. And after thirty-years of nearly non-stop war, the situation in the Middle East is worse now than it has ever been. And what is Hillary's most likely contribution to this thirty-years of costly pointlessness? She is likely to double down on the side of the Syrian rebels and step up the efforts to dump Assad. GREAT! So, we will go toe to toe with Iran and the Russians in order to support fucking Al Qaeda and Saudi/Sunni Apocalyptic Wet Dream.
Yep, those "Anti-Assad" freedom fighters we are supporting are hand in glove with Al Qaeda and are fundamentally no different than ISIS. So, just who in the hell is this country shedding blood and treasure for over there for? And Why? Hillary won't get us out. Hillary will just dig us in deeper and end up locking horns with Putin just to show how "determined and strong" she is... all for the sake of Al Qaeda and Saudi Arabia?
And Israel will be standing safely on the sidelines cheering it all on. If Israel feels it has to nuke its neighbors, fine. It has some reason to. But there is no reason for this country to be involved in a bloody insane Middle East mess it has no chance in hell of improving, fixing, or solving. The record is clear, the cards are face up on the table, this country has no idea what it is doing in the Middle East or who it is doing it to... our 70-year involvement in the Middle East's affairs has led to not one damn bit of good, only to deeper and more hopeless shit.
Dumb Trump's foreign policy will be insane and dangerous? Just what the F*ck have our smart people motared us into? A chance to go toe to toe with Iran and Russia in order to further the agenda of our good friends, the Saudis and their team of sharia-loving Al Qaeda clones. Fucking Islam can have its apocalypse without us. And Israel can take care of itself by whatever means necessary or pack it in and come home to America (the best option).

Posts often are a reaction to previous posts. The post above is a reaction to a character like John Noonan, who has supported every military intervention this country has made in the Middle East and begged and pleaded for more at every opportunity, calling Trump a dangerous fool.
