Trump 2016: Yes. We. Can.

all it would take is one person (protestor) to shoot a couple of people at one of those events. that would probably propel him to a win.

what a crapshow

 

Cruz would do more damages imo.

Trump is a loud mouth crazy ego maniac. His ideas are all over the map and doesn't fit neaty with either party. If he gets to be potus, he may just self explode over frustration of divided government. Whatever damages he does is probably not to the economy and is short lived.

Cruz is cunning and smart enough to do lasting generational damages. Satanic description fit nicely with Cruz.

 

Can someone please tell me why any rational person would vote for this man? How does he have so much support by now? What is wrong with America... all the obvious signs are there that Trump is nuts.

 

I don't like Trump. I don't like his immigration perspective in particular, and I don't like his broad brush comments like his Muslims point.

The other candidates need to highlight Trump's policies. If he's still pro-abortion, anti-marriage, etc. like he used to be, then he'll lose a lot right there.

Trump just seems to be all about one-liners and his celebrity rather than substance. That needs to play out.

 

Totally agree with the last two posts.

I think the "March surprise" in the primaries will be his opponents revealing that Honey Bear / Ronny supports Trump. Then his star will sink like a cold, tainted, smelly rock.

 

Cool. Now I can just ignore you. Jeez!? Cruz really gets under the skin of liberals... its pretty awesome

Yeah, that stuff's not helpful. Europe has a different idea about free speech than us, but really this does no good. Trump is not going to go radicalize England anyway. And it just gives him another arrow in his quiver. 'The Euros say I'm dangerous, so I must be doing something right!'

 

The satanic description was from David Brooks, a Republican. I hardly disagree with his take.

 

I believe the debate is required by law. There was a petition by the people, and if it gets enough signatures, it has to be debated by Parliament - if I understand correctly. So it's not likely to be seriously discussed, but they have to go through the motions. It's an interesting idea that the citizenry can directly force Parliament to discuss things.

 

I'd love to see Westminster style question period to be adopted in the House. Hell if the country is this partisan, lets just embrace it and quit with the decorum charade in the House. That means allowing members to laugh and mock each other during question time.

The Senate can continue to pretend to be the statesmanlike body. The House can go full partisan like they do in Westminster style governments.

 

Reports: Sarah Palin to endorse Donald Trump

Sarah Palin Endorses Donald Trump

 

I think the most interesting bit was this:
“Palin’s brand among evangelicals is as gold as the faucets in Trump tower,” said Ralph Reed, the chairman of the Faith and Freedom Coalition.

“Endorsements alone don’t guarantee victory, but Palin’s embrace of Trump may turn the fight over the evangelical vote into a war for the soul of the party,” he said.

 

LOL. Who is Paris Hilton endorsing?

 

Joke all you want, but she has a loyal following, and they vote.

 

Oh it's on.

Remember back in 2008 when VERY SERIOUS BBS people (and not just the clown princes like bigggtex etc) told us that Palin really was a serious conservative figure and that those who underestimated/mocked her were in for a shock?

We were in for a shock. She is even dumber/less credible/more of a joke than we had originallly anticipated.

 

She, like Trump, represents a significant portion of the Republican base whether David Brooks or anyone else likes it or not. If it comes down to a contest of Trump's unlikability vs Clinton's, at this point I have to admit I would give Trump's backers the slight advantage in "overcombing" the odds.

 

Trump's campaign does some printing at one of our stores.

 

there goes any shot Trump had to the presidency.. Cruz vs Clinton i suppose..
