Trump Reveals Lindsey Graham's Cell Phone Number on TV
I don't know if he did this on purpose, or if he was just holding the paper away from his eyes to read it (nearsightedness).
It looks like it was on purpose, but it's hard to tell. I really don't know. This will once again be a flashpoint: Those who are against doxxing, and those who are going to say it's great theater and fight the enemy with any weapon fair or foul, etc. This is becoming a true clownshow. Who knows, perhaps that's good for America; perhaps we need it revealed to us all what a clownshow is this country and its political parties are. Trump, meanwhile, "clarifies" his weekend remarks and says McCain was, in fact, a war hero. He says that we all misheard what he said -- which AllahPundit points out is a silly claim. It's true that Trump said McCain was a war hero, but only because he was captured; it was wrong for people to report (not sure who did this, but I guess some did) that Trump said McCain was not a war hero. No, he did say he was a war hero -- "only because he was captured... I prefer guys who weren't captured, but that's just me." Allah calls this "sarcastic" which I don't think is the right word, exactly; it's dismissive, it's denigrating. Which, as I said, is fine, as far as McCain goes; my problem is about denigrating all of America's POWs -- after all, they're just the idiots who got captured. And what about those killed in action? What a bunch of assholes, am I right or am I right? As I said, I don't think this is the worst thing; I'm sure Trump wasn't thinking about that when he made his crack about McCain. But that's the problem: He wasn't thinking. He is in that particular mode, the mode of not thinking about obvious traps he's walking into, an awful lot of the time. And far from seeking to correct this, he's genuinely proud of his Not Thinkingness, and many of his supporters are shouting that Not Thinkingness is the way to win. None of his gaffes, so far, is such a big deal, and yes, as Rush Limbaugh says (day after day after day), these gaffes are chiefly of concern to beltway insiders who can't stand Trump anyway. But they do begin to pile up, and meanwhile, we're talking about Trump's latest outrages, pro or con, instead of any actual policy initiative that would be helpful for the nation. Remember, in case we've all forgotten, that the first raison d'etre for the Trump candidacy was his ability to start an important discussion that the beltway political class didn't want to have, but that the people were aching for. Fair enough. But in that case -- what important discussions are we having this week? Lindsey Graham's cell phone number, or whether John McCain is a tool for letting himself be captured? These are the Great Fights we need to have, that only a man with the audacity of Trump can begin on our behalves? We don't seem to be talking about the issues that only Trump has the guts to bring to the people -- we only seem to be talking about Trump.Comments

Never was on the Trump bandwagon, but did think he could have been useful. But yeah, John McCain's service and Grammie's phone number shouldn't even be on the radar.
Time to go away Trump.
That being said, he is what we deserve. Good and hard.

The Trump candidacy is much like the Ventura candidacy in Minnesota and even shares elements of the Mel Carnahan victory in Missouri (where he was behind and ended up "winning" after he was killed in a plane crash).
In the Trump and Ventura cases, there's this boost of support based on "plain talk" but what people really want to do is play a joke or sabotage the system.
Right now Trump's putting on a show and people who are polled like the show. And one thing: They don't take the actual race seriously. To be fair, they shouldn't. 15 months out, you're an LIV and you're asked about a bunch of no-names and that goof who is always on TV. He's funny. Who wouldn't vote for Lou Costello for president?

I've got two family members on the Vietnam Wall.
I hate McCain and the guys a fool. But what he did in Vietnam was worthy awe and respect. While Trump was getting deferrals and banging the maid, McCain was getting tortured and willfully stayed when he could have been released.
It may have been the last good thing he did, but he did it.
While I like the honestly on Graham, who is a buffoonish imp and coward. The attack on McCain's service was beyond the pale.

Who knows, perhaps that's good for America; perhaps we need it revealed to us all what a clownshow is this country and its political parties are.
That's my take and I'm fine with it.
It's early enough that the Important issues could turn out to be Qemoy and Matsu.
Someone told me about the cell phone thing a half hour or so ago and I googled it. Graham had already called Trump a jackass. So that's the level of discourse.
Also, if you call a jackass a jackass do you expect things to go well for you?

I'm also loathe to extend to John McCain any kind of moral authority on his political positions because he was a POW. Yet McCain seems quite willing to retreat into the POW thing to shut down criticisms of himself...or to allow others to do it for him.

If the GOP candidates want to beat Trump, they aren't going to do it by attacking him. They have to get on some issues that people care about and start pounding away. The VA and illegal immigration have been out there for ages. The GOPe instead wants Jeb! who needs consultations to determine what day it is. Yep, Trump is a carnival barker but look at what he has done. He's pointed out a couple of serious issues, and then hit GOPe members that the base despise.

Well maybe it's time for one of the "serious" candidates to step up their game and forget about attacking Trump.
Trump is not a politician and is an alpha dog so they are not
going to intimidate him or dissuade him from his chosen course.
They would be best advised to forget about him and start jockeying for number 2 or 3 on the stage and start fleshing out their policy positions explicitly.
Or heaven forbid, start taking swings at Hillary, Sanders and the SCOAMF.
Trump is a cloud, you cannot put your hands around a cloud, you can only observe it and hope it blows away.

How is it we are only talking about Trump?
Are we not now talking about illegals, Amnesty, veterans, the VA?
As long as Trump is the only one rockng the boat, yeah, you are going to see Trump's name a lot.
Nothng is stopping the other candidates from rocking the boat.
At least nothing should be.

But they do begin to pile up, and meanwhile, we're talking about Trump's latest outrages, pro or con, instead of any actual policy initiative that would be helpful for the nation.
When is politics ever about policy? It's about yucking it up because Michelle Bachmann is eating a corndog, or Mitt Romney likes Battlefield Earth, or John Kerry has a yacht in Newport.

And then here come's a candidate that says fuck you fucking milquetoast country club losers, I'm going to build a classy wall so yuuuuge it will stop all the racists.
And we're wringing our hands??!! LOL. Trump is the wreaking ball most normal fucking people have been begging for.

Everyone in the country understands what was said and the how it reflects on Trumps views. The only people who haven't a clue are the MSM and the guy writing this blog.

I'm retired U.S. Army. I don't feel insulted by the comments Trump made about McCain...not in the least. The buffoon in the White House insults military members - past and present - far more than Trump ever has or ever will...and with him, it's done on purpose. So I don't have a problem with The Donald.
Do I think he'll make a good president? Nope. Better than the Hildebeast? You bet your ass.
Basically, since the Reagan years I've been voting for the lesser of two evils, because there is no 'best candidate.' They all suck. They all lie.

Yes, Trump said he was a war hero, in a denigrating manner. It was meant as a personal attack, because he was annoyed at what McCain said about him and has even thinner skin than President Obama. That's not what the problem was. It was low, but not the real problem. If he'd only limited it to McCain, I think people would have at worst shrugged: nobody likes McCain. His own shadow tries to get away.
No, its what he said next that expanded the attack to everyone who's ever been a POW: "I prefer my heroes uncaptured." That's the problem with what he said. Trump took it too far, and in doing so found the only wrong way you can actually attack McCain.

I respect his service also but his most recent service has been a travesty.
We don't remember Benedict Arnold was also a hero for good reason; his actions might have brought the revolution to an end. So he's known as a traitor and rightly so.
McCain's not on that level but the length of time and breadth of crimes makes up for it. It's only due to the wacky seniors in AZ that he remained on the job for so long.
He's a hero but he's also a lying weasel crook too.

Speeches that last for an hour or 45 minutes. All of you guys like to joke that he's the joke or has nothing to say, but he's got a lot to fucking say.
Just watch the Chicago Trib editorial interview or the speech he gave in Arkansas or Phoenix even.
He's got more to offer than a shit ton of the "usual" suspects, which is when my opinion first started to turn. But I suppose it's better to remain ignorant and laugh at Trump like all the people who are against us and against this country.
Oh, and fuck that shitty pilot John McCain.

Let's all understand one thing here. Obama has had way more gaffes than Trump yet they arejust continually are brushed aside. How come Obama seldom makes comments off the cuff, always reading a teleprompter. care to know why? Because you didn't build that, etc. Many examples but not highlighted as in nothing to see here move along. And what about Joe Biden? He's a stone cold idiot but that's just Joe, hahaha. What nonsense.
If nothing else, McCain is fair game and Ace, with all due respect Trump did not smear all POW's, just McCain. He said nothing about those that died. John McCain is nothing more than a Dem running as a Republican.
And Gomer Graham? Who cares about him, he'll stab us in the back faster than anyone.
To be clear I am no fan of Trump but for once I am glad to see someone taking on the Establishment candidates. The professional political class in both parties have made a mess of my country and deserve to be called out for their hypocrisy as well as their failures. .

Anyone with a brain knows he was fucking around with John McCain and implying he was a shitty pilot.
Which, I'm sure you all know, is a term of affection and endearment, just like "crazies" is. My source: shitty pilot John McCain.

>>> I think it comes from "docs" as in documents. Its basically publishing an enemy's phone number, address, and other contact information online so the torch-bearing mob can descend upon them. It is, at best, bad form.
Okay. People do that all the time in politics for protests and such.

Hey Ace, let me know when ANY of the left or the right starts talking about substantive policy regarding the US.
Trump is a loudmouth but he hasn't done anything to hurt anyone and if you are so butthurt about a comment like that then you really shouldn't be in politics, oh wait no life.

He has directed some at Hilery. He directs fire at anyone who directs fire at him. Plain and simple. If you want Trump to take a shot at you, take one at him. If you don't, he won't.
Right now this says more about your Republican Party, that THEY are the ones taking shots at HIM.

First, damage the Republican brand beyond repair, then run as a third party stooge to draw votes from Republicans.

So screw them and screw voting for Jebutron Cruzio.

1. Trump is an populist out for Tump and I would find myself hardpressed to support him.
2. The other idiots in the race should take a page from Trumps playbook and start talking about the things that Trump has struck a chord with his supporters.
3. Trump also shows we dont have whine around begging for support of ..... or the fear of..... the MSM. Alot of his supporters LIKE the FYNQ attitude.
4. One can rail and gnash teeth about the clownshow. But the clownshow is cleaning up right now. Instead of impugning, sneering and mocking..... perhaps there's a lesson to be gleaned in there somewhere.

We don't seem to be talking about the issues that only Trump has the guts to bring to the people -- we only seem to be talking about Trump.
----------------------
As so many have said, the campaign is still young. Perhaps Trump is using an old Army technique called "prepping the battlefield". He's already put forth his opinion on what one of the defining issues of this election will be.
He's now using sniper fire to keep the heads of his opponents down. I'm sure there'll be a return to the issues soon.

See, maybe I don't understand politics but it seems to me that if you're interviewing for the job of president of the United States with the American people - basically what the election season is about - you should be showing why you stand out and why you are better than the opponent in the general, not how much the other applicants on your side suck.
Or, to put it another way... why attack only your team?

Maybe covered above, but what made McCain a war hero wasnt just that he was captured, it wasnt even that he was tortured after capture (nearly to death), it was that he refused available early release when offered to him.
IE McCain put his own well-being secondary to those of his captured colleagues and that's what made him a "hero".
Trump, meanwhile, is a clown, but we all know this.

No, let's not have a little political theater in the middle of nowhere, where real candidates will show up and get real support and knock off TV preening jagoffs like Trump.

Your point is utter nonsense. Do you not remember Pawlenty and his Obamanycare crap before he flamed out? Do you not remember Perry calling Romney a vulture capitalist? Do you not remember Newt buying a bogus movie from left wing activists about Bain capital?
All candidates attack others from the same party in primaries because, get this, they are the opponents. It isn't Romney's fault that his opponents were inept.
I don't give a crap if a clown like Trump attacks McCain or Graham or anyone for that matter. It's the primaries, this is what candidates do and it is happening on the left now as well since there isn't an incumbent.
But let's stop with the handwringing when a favored candidate gets hammered by another primary candidate you don't like. This happens ever single cycle.

>>> What the GOPe, Ace, and others should be worried about is not Trump himself. But that someone with better political skills than Trump could really take things in a horrible direction. Instead of recognizing the situation and bashing Trump, the GOPe needs to get their heads out of the sand.

111 I would bet a substantial amount of money that this Trump person is a plant for the Clinton campaign. First, damage the Republican brand beyond repair, then run as a third party stooge to draw votes from Republicans. TheClintons have experience with winning elections by mere pluralities, thanks tothird party candidates.
How people can fall for this is just beyond me!

107 Again, I ask: When will Trump direct his fire against Democrats?
The first rule of war is to direct your fire against those who are shooting at you.
I doubt Trump woke up this morning and out of the blue thought it would be a good idea to fuck with Lindsay Graham.
If McCain takes a shot, you shoot back.
If Lindsay beats his way to the microphone to say what a buffoon he thinks you are, you pull out the stops and send Missy Graham a message.
This ain't rocket science.

You have already expressed how much you are not enjoying what Trump is doing.
As I've said over and over, the GOP should be learning from Trump. My problem isn't him. Its people who seem to believe him. Its with the voters who are wisely able to see all the problems with every other candidate, but cannot seem to see his. He's a buffoon that will self destruct, and in the process its entertaining. I'm not worried about him. I don't care who wins the presidency, it will not matter. We're screwed either way.
I care about people being fooled by a lying caricature of a human being. By a con man who makes his money off of credulous fools with money.

Reposting from the earlier Trump thread (because I typed a lot, damnit, and there's numbers and things):
Interesting graphic at the NYT about who makes the cut for the first GOP debate.
Makes the cut:
Trump 16.8%
Bush 14.4
Walker 11.0
Rubio 7.0
Paul 6.2
Huckabee 5.5
Carson 4.7
Cruz 4.2
Christie 3.0
Santorum 1.9
Kasich 1.9
Does not make cut:
Perry 1.7%
Jindal 1.2
Fiorina 0.9
Graham 0.5
Pataki 0.5
I think this settles any argument as to exactly how silly a nation we have become.

It might. Then again, if he's reading the electorate right, going after the fossils/insiders in both parties can be beneficial.
If the MFM reports more of the former than the latter, we get the illusion of "EVERYBODY hates the rethuglicakkkkkans!"

See, maybe I don't understand politics but it seems to me that if you're interviewing for the job of president of the United States with the American people - basically what the election season is about - you should be showing why you stand out and why you are better than the opponent in the general, not how much the other applicants on your side suck.
Or, to put it another way... why attack only your team?
No, he has to get to the general election or to the point where it looks like he HAS a chance to be nominate as the Republican candidate. He's not running against a Democrat right now, he's running against 15+ other republicans. He has to show why he's better than the other 15 first them worry about the 1 from the other side. Democrats i.e. Hillary are irrelevant at the moment.

Right, this is where the legacy media has it all wrong. They think he's damaging Republicans, but there's no more damage to be done. If anything he's making the GOP brand seem cooler to young people by effectively whipping his junk out on national TV and daring people to respond. That's what our culture has become.
Seems like a pretty incendiary comment on Hilery and her role as Sec of State to me.
Oooh what a burn. She had poor tone. Man he really stuck it to her. Has she recovered yet?

As I said, I don't think this is the worst thing; I'm sure Trump wasn't thinking about that when he made his crack about McCain.
Yes. It is a fair point to make that just because someone gets captured or even killed, that doesn't necessarily make them a hero. But, you have to be very careful in how you make that point, especially if you are a public figure and all the more so if you are a politician running for office. And since it is so easy to get misinterpreted (either accidentally or on purpose), why even make the point to begin with? What was so important to communicate that you just had to have a discussion about that nuance?

"It isn't Romney's fault that his opponents were inept. "
That's what it comes down to, the Marxist socialist big government liberal Romneycare had so many flaws, but it wasn't his fault that his opponents were inept.
Let's see, we have a country at stake, lives at stake, the economy at stake, but instead of nominating the person who can turn it around, Jackstraw wants to put them in a mud wrestling pit and see who wins.
Don't you see? It's more important than that. It was Romney's fault that he wasn't conservative enough, and it was his fault that he destroyed the people that would be better for our country, not letting them become the nominee. You see, Romney has been and always will be a traitor to his country because of it, his nomination has put the GOPe squarely on the side of the right wing of the socialist party.

See, this is where I disagree. Yes he is. They're all running against the Democrat. The fact that they want to be the first to run against the Democrat doesn't make the other GOP guys his opponents, it makes them rivals. You outdo your rival, you show you're better. You attack your opponent. They're on the same team, you don't clock the linebacker next to you in order to get to the QB first.
Trump isn't the only one doing it, nor is he the first. Its always seemed so stupid to me, particularly as anything you say negative about another Republican becomes an attack line by the media in the general election.

Trump is not a serious candidate.
He can not win.
He does throw the media's plans into chaos however.
It is difficult for the media to organize an assault against say Scott Walker when Trump is Sideshow Bob 'ing it 24/7. There's only so much space in the media for Republican presidential candidates and if Trump is at the podium ripping farts, that's going to lead.

And you think anyone gives a shit about Lindsey (use military against Congress) Graham's cellphone number? That fucker was for authorizing legislation to let NSA sweep all your nudy pics every fucking day on your phones.

I want to see the disappointment on Graham's face when he doesn't get any calls.

I don't think you understand the meaning of the word "nonsense".
Have you forgotten the point I made originally? It was that Trump was certainly not the first GOP candidate to attack other GOP candidates. I merely listed Romney as an example.
Thanks for illustrating my point with more examples.
Next time, keep track of the point. It would have saved you a few more paragraphs of pointless typing.

When a democrat says something crazy, the right wing media will yell, complain, stomp their feet, outrage, etc, etc, etc... and the left will react with "so fucking what".
When someone says something, anything that our side agrees with, the left wing media reacts the same way as the right wing media - except we as the right immediately try to tear down that person for saying what they said.. often with "yeah but we won't be talking about that good thing this person said, we will be talking about everything else the lefty media says about that person".
At what point do we stop falling for this crap? I don't care who Donald Trump was mean to... what he said about illegal immigration trumps that.. no pun intended. If the other republican candidates can't see that - then stupid party indeed... and worse yet - a stupid party whose entire presidential bench of some 15 candidates will turn out to be morons.

But I've watched the guys major, lengthy speeches and they're very good. For those who trash Trump as a plant or some kind of pure ego fed candidate, WATCH THE FUCKING SPEECHES.
Don't you owe the guy that before you denigrate him? He really does seem to be in it, I mean he called the Hogs and as a fellow Razorback, I can't tell you how awkward that is for a yankee.
Something is different here. Rush is right. Perry slams him, his next poll or the next one will show he will go down by HALF. Just look at the fuckers facebook comments.

I suppose at some point Trump is going to go after Clinton or a Democrat? You know, instead of the fratricide. Posted by: Marcus T at July 21, 2015 02:05 PM
Perhaps if the True Republicans and self-appointed Genuine Conservative Voices would stop dissing Trump, he might return the favor.
Trump has spoken out about some of Choom Boy's lunatic, treasonous policies. Has any other "Republican" candidate done that?
But, oh my, he's Not Nice. He doesn't sell the brand like the others do, does he? Being a loud-mouth who shoots from the hip and doesn't think before he speaks, he's simply not One of Us, is he?
All he does is speak to the concerns of millions of Americans, without the protection of Top Republican Consultants and opinion polls.
Honesty. What a concept. If he infects some other candidate with that disease -- which, after hearing them all mouth off, I am beginning to doubt -- America will bless him.

Are you purposely missing the point? People (including you?) keep saying Trump has not gone after any Democrats. That's just not true.
And yes, if we didn't live in an era when chopping off people's heads for being Christian was no big deal, it would be quite damning toward Clinton. But we don't, and if you only listen to the versions of what Trump is saying that is being fed to you by the media, you could be fooled into believing he's only going after Republicans.

Let me clue you in on something about the military.
A lot of times what inspires heroism there is the fear of being derided by ones fellow soldiers/sailors. It's not all gung-ho audie murphy.
McCain couldn't take that special treatment because he knew he'd be looked down upon once he was released for having taken the opportunity. He expected to get out and continue his Navy career and he didn't want that to be there holding him down. So he's not so much a hero for that as a realist.
And even when he got out, his career track wasn't so great. The top brass knew what happened and why and they knew what kind of officer McCain was/is. He did not fair as well as he thought he would. So he left and after divorcing the wife that stayed with him during his imprisonment married a beer dealership heiress and began a Senate career.
A Senate career that had some very shady moments that he barely escaped from. See Keating Five scandal.
He should be no one's Hero as in someone to emulate.
Was he brave? Perhaps. Did he do his duty? Yes but poorly. Does he deserve adulation? Hell no.

And I love it how the GOPe vowed to get control of the primary process.

The last thing the powers that be want is a national conversation on any of the pressing issues.

*We don't seem to be talking about the issues that only Trump has the guts to bring to the people -- we only seem to be talking about Trump.*
Because the rest of the spineless weasels won't tap into it and recognize that its the message, not the messenger. They should be all over the immigration message - its easy, build the wall, secure the border, deport illegals who commit crimes, look at alternatives for everything else while acknowledging that there will be no citizenship. Acknowledge the problem, in frank terms and without worrying that you might lose that tiny percentage of Latino vote that might vote for you if you promise them that Uncle Hector, he of the perpetual DUI, won't be deported (and not for nothing, but I have actual legal immigrants that work for me and who went through the process and they HATE illegals). But nobody is doing it. Its bizarre to me. THere is heat around Trump because he tapped something that resonates with people and none of them are harnessing it.

If everyone who puts on the uniform is a hero, then Maj. Hassan is a hero, and we should salute him and thank him for his service just before we place the needle in his arm to execute him.
Or maybe we can be somewhat more selective in who we deem "heroic".

I guess you missed the football analogy. Ever play team sports? Have a rival on your team you want to be better than? He's not your opponent. The other team is.
What your not grasping is that there is 15+ teams fighting for one spot, the head of the ticket. Each "team" is a rival/opposite. Think of this as the football playoffs, each team is trying to get to the super bowl.

Pretty much, yeah. Donald trump has figured out how to turn the campaign into a reality show, and the press cannot help but lap it up while the other candidates are just milling around confused because they don't even know the rules.
Given that who wins the presidency is irrelevant - nobody is turning this around - whatever. At least it can be entertaining.

It's always this passive-aggressive small ball shit. Difference here is that it's Trump driving it and not the media (or not as much anyway). The last thing the powers that be want is a national conversation on any of the pressing issues.

We have the worst of both worlds. The only candidate that seems to even briefly flirt with contentious issues is the guy with the least to lose.
As others have noted, the charade about dignity and serious debate is a cruel lie, not a joke. McCain is one of the worst examples, as he and everyone in the Senate voted to sell us out in advance on Iran getting nukes and now play at debating it.

Trump is now filling that role.

Yup. That's how he wants it.
Now, with respect to actual issues, empirically, I don't think the American electorate really gives a rat's ass. If that were the case, would President Obama have been elected? Re-elected? With her actual record of lies and outright graft, would Hilary Clinton be the presumptive Democrat nominee right now?
I guess the "trick" is to pick a clever "clown" who actually has populist appeal, but when it actually comes down to running the country is also a competent manager/policy maker. Not sure who that candidate is, though I tend to think its not Trump!

Ahh, thanks I misunderstood. You're right, that was
a good, substantive attack. Granted, it was about her daring to attack
him, but at least he brought it to her where she's especially weak.
Posted by: Christopher Taylor at July 21, 2015 02:54 PM (39g3+)
And that's just it, a strong case CAN be made that Trump is all about Trump, and this is just vanity. That his goal, and his purpose is to have everyone talking about Trump. Which we are.
I don't know who else has ulterior motives here, I don't know if Trump secretly wants someone other than himself to win the White House, or if he is delusional to believe he could.
I know one thing though: If he is targeting mccain and graham, he cannot be entirely wrong.

Yah, that is what we need.... more politicians who THINK long and hard before they ever say anything... that way we get PABLUM.... more of the same bullcrap.
I hope Trump raises hell all the way up to the next Presidential election. If ACE wants more pablum, go for it.
I prefer the unfiltered, not thought about for 8 hours and numerous advisers editing to give us more PABLUM. So what if he screws up.... Obama never screws up?, 20 million illegals is not screwing up?, veterans dying on waiting lists not screwing up?, kissing the Muslim buttocks not screwing up?, denigrating Christianity and admiring atheists not screwing up?, inciting racial tensions not screwing up? pussified politicians doing absolutely nothing while the US goes down the sewer not screwing up? 50% of population not paying federal taxes not screwing up? 40 - 50 million on food stamps not screwing up? WANT MORE?

"English, motherfucker. Do you speak it?"
Great movie line. I wish we could adopt it here.
If you're going to start bitching at someone for saying someone else is a hero or not, how about defining the word "hero".
If a cop is on a street corner and a gang banger drives by and shoots him, is the cop a hero?
Not in my book.
He was a cop doing his job who happened to get shot. He didn't do anything heroic by standing on a corner. The fact that he's a cop isn't heroic in itself. It's a job just like a thousand others. The chances he is going to be killed on the job are less than a miner or steel worker or plenty of other professions.
I bitch about this because every time some illiterate asshole ascribes the word "hero" to someone who just happened into some circumstances without any heroics on their part it denigrates all those who actually did do something heroic.
Same with "torture". Don't tell me something is torture when it's not. It devalues the pain and suffering of those who had been tortured.

>>I don't know who else has ulterior motives here, I don't know if Trump secretly wants someone other than himself to win the White House, or if he is delusional to believe he could.
I think that's maybe the wrong question.
Of course, if given the choice, Trump would occupy the White House. I'm sure, in his own mind, he's the #1 choice and better than all the other candidates.
The question is whether or not he realistically thinks he has a chance of winning, or if he's even seriously "trying" to win. As opposed to running a campaign that effectively amounts to a huge PR stunt for him, his "brand", and his ego.
I think if it were possible for Trump to answer honestly on this, he'd say that he really doesn't expect to win, and that his candidacy is basically a big stunt. . .but you never really know.
As to who he's going to pull the lever for in secret. . .I don't know that even he knows that. Maybe he'll eventually and endorse someone. . .I guess we'll see.

4. One can rail and gnash teeth about the clownshow. But the clownshow is cleaning up right now.
________________________
The real clown show is in the White House, where Obama has just agreed to give the crazy mullahs of Iran $150 billion dollars to fund more terrorism, let them continue developing their nuclear weapons without being disturbed, and even promised that we'd defend their nukes in the event some other nation (like, say Israel) should try to attack them.
In return, we got . . . not one f*cking thing. Not even the four U.S. hostages that the mullahs are holding.
Nope, all Barry got for his grand "deal" was more shouts of "Death to America!" from the Iranian nutjobs.
If there is a bigger damn fool on the planet than Barry Obama, I'd hate to see him or her run for U.S. president, because our dumb-ass voters would probably trip over each other racing to the polls to elect the idiot.

"William Jennings Bryan. "
Could be.
But Trump is at heart and in business, a Wheeler-Dealer.
He gets people(with money) excited about a business proposition(run or facilitated by Trump) -
then sees what he can get i.e.. what the deal will be?
It could be Trump is running for Prez in a very Trumpian manner-
that is he'd spent money, he's lost money but that's okay because he sees a bigger cash out in the future.
Whatever that may be.
It may be simply getting out at a convenient time with a handful of guarantees from Jeb! supporters.
My favorite would be if Trump perceives this to be a tides of men/wheels of fate moment-
and starts seriously dealing with the public and mainly Republicans to see which issues beyond immigration he's willing to take on.
In other words, where and what is the Presidential deal?
Though I doubt he could make it to the Presidency, opening up the conversation and blowing up the sacred cows of both the Left and our cowardly GOP would be a YUUUUUUUUUUUGE service to the country.
But, who knows.
Still, someone like him doesn't waste time and money without some endgame.

Have we heard one single Politician make any remarks about Social Security? Because that needs to be addressed soon. Before the next President is sworn in SSDI will go insolvent, possibly sooner. That money is going to have to come from somewhere.

President Trump's first press conference:

Trump: You know, Carrie, that mousey look kind of works for you but you could still afford to glam it up a little. Maybe some jewelry, and show more cleavage. Yes?
Cheryl Bolen, Bloomberg: Mr. President, you are aware that Iran is still imprisoning four Americans on the flimsiest of charges, aren't you?
Trump: Come on, Cheryl, can't you submit your questions in writing? A new frock isn't going to help.
Julie Pace, Associated Press: President Trump, your much touted negotiating skills have got you absolutely nowhere with Putin. Are you essentially abandoning Ukraine?
Trump: Julie, Julie, Julie! Now that's what I'm talking about. See? Class. Show a little more leg and Fox News might hire you.

When they're in power they break their promises almost instantly. You've written plenty of posts on failure theater. So we gifted them Trump. I would rather Hillary be president than Jeb or some other washed out liar who's only there to make money for the Republican billionaire class. Few of Trump's supporters actually think he'd make a good president. We just don't give a shit because that's not why he's there, he's there to shit on the establishment's dreams and aspirations like the establishment shits on their core supporters.

I have a relative who was a POW. He has the scars, both inside and out. A man of great character, who would do anything to help you if you asked (and if he was still physically able to, which he's not). He is wrong about many many many things though.
Only one time did our discussion have to do with his status as a prisoner, and that was the lead-up to the Iraq War. I did not argue with him. On that issue, I had nothing to say in response. Otherwise, when he was/is wrong, I tell him so.

I guess I'm not too worked up about the Donald at this point although I would like him up on that debate stage in the first one...he needs to answer for holding in most cases the exact opposite view only a few years ago. Of course there are plenty of candidates on the stage that will have to do the same.
All of this really brings to mind is living in Minnesota and listening to all my friends brag about voting for Ventura and how he was going to be different compared to those bland Republican and DFL candidates because he was speaking truth and taking no prisoners...and then election night came and instead of being able to just play himself off against the two parties Ventura actually had to govern and it became the biggest shit show you have ever seen.
We'll see what happens I guess...it would likely be the SMOD we've basically been begging for.

I don't remember a media fainting spell. Of course, Rock is a comedian, and Trump is a, well, sort of the same thing.

Trump's in this for . . . *drum roll* THE FACE TIME.
It's all about marketing. He lights a few fires, torches a few hooches and skedaddles out of Dodge. *mixed metaphors there*
Now he's known as the Real Estate Entrepreneur who ran for President.
And he's put the fear of God in a few select folks who will soon be sending him some "hush" money or business.
He can play both sides four ways.
GOP pays him to go away
Tea Party pays him to stay in
Dems pay him to stay in
Bernie pays him to go away.
Win, Win, Win, Win.
He's sitting in that office of his waiting for the phone calls (or the bag men).

There is not a single chance in hell that would ever take place under a Trump administration. He might have good policies, but the man is 100% totally for illegal immigrants giving him cheap construction, landscaping, and upkeep on his properties.

But in that case -- what important discussions are we having this week?
Lindsey Graham's cell phone number, or whether John McCain is a tool
for letting himself be captured?
These are the Great Fights we need to have, that only a man with the audacity of Trump can begin on our behalves?
Why yes, ace. Yes they are.

And I don't give a shit what you say, he's gonna build that fucking wall and really, what other issue is there?
All this "conservative" debate is out the window for good if 50 million more socialists pour into the country.
Posted by: prescient11
I agree with this in part, to the point where I would gladly cut a deal with the Left and basically give them what they wanted in exchange.
Obviously, you could never trust the other side, but in a make believe world, I would trade Universal Health Care for a wall and morotorium on future legal immigration.
But here's the thing, Trump knows conservatives are "cheap dates" and it doesn't take a genius to figure out what the one issue is that will put him in the headlines, so he ran with it. Just like the Birther stuff.
So the idea you can trust Trump over any of these other shit weasels is stretch, anymore than if Jeb Bush came out for a wall out of nowhere.

Huzzah for you.
Why did he do what he did in 2012?
Why has he reversed himself on several issues, as others have noted?
Please note that ALL candidates should be vetted. Many here have seen this guy for decades, living the celebrity life. Are we being played here?
When McCain lashes out and makes up stupid names, I think that we're seeing the real him. He's not smart, arrogant as all Hell and does NOT want to be disagreed with. And then he adds to that by lying about his actions. I get that this is what he is.
What in Fuck is Trump? His track record spans decades.

SSDI is being scammed by Government workers. Who then double dip. They get a boo boo on the job that "incapacitates" them, approved for ssdi then they collect their pension which is already inflated to ridiculous levels.
It's perpetrated by the Government workers because they have the connections and know the paperwork.
Knocking 75% off SSDI would not hurt anyone. Easy recheck too.
Have the client come in and if they can walk, talk and grab a beer, they're off the rolls.

Ace: "But in that case -- what important discussions are we having this week? Lindsey Graham's cell phone number, or whether John McCain is a tool for letting himself be captured?"
Then why bring up the story about Graham's phone number, for example?
People can and will take away from any human interaction what they will to further their position or justify their behavior. In the case of politics, the MFM is going to, almost unilaterally, go after the "conservative" of any flavor who is less radical than Che Guevara. There is NO WAY that inevitability is not going to happen. Trump (or whoever) could walk on water and the MFM would say, "Would you look at that guy? He's sticking his dirty feet in our drink!" There is no end to the outrage that can be manufactured much of which is illegitimate Squirrel! action.
So, again, never liked Trump before; love him now. I simply. do. not. care. about the histrionics being bandied about. It's a game and I trust none of these clowns. It's time to shake things up. The status quo is certain death.

Walker has balls, but he's been quiet and tentative by comparison. Trump comes out swinging with candor, stays swinging, and seems to enjoy the fight.
What a breath of fresh air, to see someone love America and speak his mind without all the bullshitty inhibitions that PC culture has thrown over American politics like a funeral shroud.
Trump is ALIVE in a way the other candidates simply aren't. That's why he gets all the oxygen.

Never would happen that quickly if at all. Obama promised to shut down Guantanamo and he couldn't do it. A wall would be much more difficult to get everyone on board.

True. In some ways, Trump is the reason illegals come here. Lugging cinder blocks for NYC wages is a lot better than lugging cinder blocks for subsistence pay in Guatemala. We need the wall, but Trump building it? I doubt it. At least he raised the issue, though, so all the "a wall is impossible!" idiots realize that it is in fact, possible. It's a wall, people, not a fucking revolutionary feat in engineering.

but remember the elites "walked" when Reagan got the nod, FFS, Andersen ran 3rd party against Reagan in '80.

But yeah, of course the Dem-dominated media wants Trump to be the clown face of the GOP. Everyone is waiting for him to flame out. Hell, he even told Hannity one evening a few weeks ago that he's wondering himself how long Americans will want to hear his message. He sounded a little diffident about having the job himself. "Only if America wants me," he seemed to be saying. So if he flames out, I don't think he'll go skulking off to Vegas to lick his wounds. And that's something else Americans probably like about him. To Trump, politics ain't everything in life.
I think of Trump as the Frank Sinatra of American politics.

Ted Cruz likes the message he's trying to give about immigration though not necessarily how he's said it. You can read Cruz's statement yourself. And besides that, guess what, I don't have to be 100% in agreement with the candidate I'm supporting. Amazing isn't it?

Reagan was Governor of the largest state in the US. He certainly was not a Donald Trump-type candidate.
But yea, the Beltway Elite absolutely dismissed him. The Republican party though was a much more liberal party back then made up of primarily New England WASP-types. Like George HW Bush, who Reagan made the big mistake of putting on the ticket.

She might pick up a few wise Latinas and some fatass union bosses like Trumka, to whom she made sexy promises.

Lindsey called Trump a Jackass.
Trump responds.
"And then I said to myself, 'Hey didn't this guy call me like four years ago?' Yes. He called me three -- three, four years ago. Lindsey Graham, I didn't even know who he was. He goes, 'Mr. Trump, this is Sen. Lindsey Graham. I wonder if it would be possible for you to call Fox,' because, you know, until I ran I had that little thing I'd do. Fox & Friends is so great," Trump said rattling off the hosts of the show. "They're great people. Right? They're great. And he wanted to know whether or not I could give him a good reference on Fox & Friends. I said okay. He wanted to know would I do that. And then, of course, he wanted to know whether or not he could come see me for some campaign contributions."

Yeah, Hillary gets the homo vote, for... some reason. She's been hostile to their causes until like 6 months ago, but she's their choice because, uh, Republicans want to throw them off a building! Yeah, that's it.
Hillary gets a good 40% or more of all women voters in the GOP, 90% in the Democrats and moderates, and enough men to take her over the top.

Perry, I the other hand, wouldn't be aware of a political or leadership opportunity if it was fucking him in the ass.
See
this is what I love about Trump. I tentatively liked Perry but he kept
showing sign of fcuking up : "three agencies", "heartless", etc. and
making weird tone-deaf comments.
If the Donald has done nothing else he has flushed the RINOs from the bush.
Posted by: some random meathead
Whatever you think about Perry, even his fans would have to concede what a political idiot he is.
He lost the nomination last time insulting the base regarding illegal immigration, on issues that were anything but silly. the idea of illegal immigrants getting subsidized college tuition is absurd. Same with opposing a fence
Now he's tripping all over himself once again on this issue.

It's not just him. The whole town of Atlantic City is bankrupt, every casino but one out of dozens. Casinos in PA and MD killed that town. No one goes there anymore. So, you can't talk just about his casino when the whole town died.

This is not Trumps first bankruptcy in Atlantic City. It goes back a ways along with what I consider his immoral financial blackmail to his lenders.

"off a cliff with Barry"
Yeah, imagine if Choom Boy actually had been the guy many Americans were hoping for:
1. to put racial obsessiveness to bed
2. to inspire the black urban crowd to kick the EBT habit and raise Motown families again
3. to govern like a technocrat with a heart of gold
4. to show the rest of the (racist) world that America could, once again, represent humanity at its best
Instead, we get a choom boy race-baiting Marxist community organizer activist who put every enemy America could possibly face right there in the WH with him in order to take the USA down in standing all over the world so a quasi-fascist-socialist UN World Government could come into being, which, after his presidency, he'd deign to lead

I watched Charles Krauthammer twist into contortions as the great psychiatrist couldn't truthfully respond to O'Reilly's question about Trump saying Illegals are getting better treatment than Veterans in this country right now.
Everyone knows exactly what that means, and the truth to it. Not only are illegals being put up in hotels, fed, medically cared for, etc, all for free, but they are drawing away our resources and taxes from helping Vets having the Platinum Standard.
CK sounded like an idiot. And I like the guy. Boy, they are getting desperate, and it's showing.
McCain are calling Trump supporters crazy, and so are all of those like CK.
Perhaps this Phase One of "Burn it Down."

I thought we could save the Party from RINOs, but there's no way we can save it from both RINOs and Trump Trash. So Democrats will now hang on to the White House and retake the Senate and it's over the cliff we go. Which seems to be just what Trump Trash want.

I just don't see her turning out the base like Obama did with Millenials and blacks. Also, working class males will not vote for a scrunt like her.

No way she gets 40% of women in GOP. She gets 10%, tops. Democrat males over 50 will not vote for her, so that's another 10%. Moderates will abandon her because she will be exposed continuously as corrupt. Milquetoast men and gays are a tiny percentage.
Hillary loses by up to 5 points, maybe more.

Obama is more interested in foiling the other side of the aisle than the other side of the ocean. Liberals (but really all industrialized people) occupy the tip of the Maslow pyramid. And when that's all you worry about, you get tunnel vision. How bad will it get, before the country corrects itself? I believe the answer will be horrifying.

I would say of my Democrat friends, 9 out 10 hate her guts. Will they vote Republican? Probably not, but I could easily see them sitting out.
Also, it's just anecdotal info, but the one issue that even Democrat friends are pissed about is our open border policies. It really does cross over

OK, OK. I agree. Trump would be a completely awful president. A top 5 worst-ever contender.
But, compared to the current one...? Yeah.
The fact that Democrats and Republicans alike are pouncing on him tells me he scares them and they want him gone. That in and of itself endears him to me.

I think they exist, but it's definitely changed and is not the key to landslide elections.
Basically, it's working class whites. They really have been ignored by the Democrat Party that now focuses exclusively on minorities and white collar, young professionals, (mainly women).
If you're a white Electrician, the Democrats don't give a shit about you.
These are the voters Republicans should be courting, not Hispanics that can't even (legally) vote and will just want Free Shit that the Democrats can always deliver.

It's entirely possible that Trump is going "GANGSTA" against the entire GOP establishment. If so, then I am all for it. Real men don't give a fuck. Trump got his own resources to wage a fight. The establishment has donors that come around each election cycle. I'm not a fan of Trump but I am less of the fan of the GOP's tendency to roll over. I'll root the crass and unsophisticated MAN over the mangina any day of the week out of pure principle.

In Reagan's time, if you had a college degree you voted Republican, if you were blue collar, you voted Democrat. Reagan was able to draw heavily from both.
Now, the parties have flipped with their demographics.
The two groups Republicans should do better with are working class whites and white females.
The fact that a six figure professional woman or an upscale soccer mom votes Democrat over "Uterus issues" is absurd, we need to get these voters back into the GOP.

As Mark Steyn says, the GOP needs to quit their worrying about standing on their dignity. When has anyone in this New Black Panther Party aka Dems worried as they fist-bumped the USA into the commonality of a third world country?

"my problem is about denigrating all of America's POWs -- after all, they're just the idiots who got captured"
Except it is perfectly obvious that he was NOT denigrating anyone but McCain, who thoroughly deserves it, just not for being captured.
This is analogous to calling some obnoxious person who happens to be fat a "fat sh!t," or Steve Williams calling Tiger Woods a "black bastard" after Woods acted like a bastard. The insulter is not calling the "fat shit" a sh!t because he is fat. He is calling him a sh!t for being a sh!t. The "fat" part is window dressing.
Williams called Woods a black bastard because Woods was a bastard, not because he is black. The black part is true, but again just window dressing. Of course it is stupid to add these irrelevant flourishes that can be misinterpreted as contempt for all fat people or all black people, and it is especially incompetent for a politician to do this, but it is still not fattist, or racist, or anti POW, and to say that it actually denigrates POW is almost as stupid. What the hell, are we all SJWs now?

If Trump had inserted the word "famous" in his statement about McCain's war-hero status, as in: "The only reason McCain is a (famous) war hero is because he was captured"--he would have been spot on.

President Obama gives our enemies certainty. President Trump would scare them silly. I know which I prefer.
The ideal candidate doesn't exist.
Trump is not a conservative, but right on some core issues that have been ignored for too long.
The main goodness of Trump is he knows how to say "you're fired" which is long overdue.
He's also confronting the thought police media which is also long overdue.
Hero is not something people are, it's something people perceive. The media would take away our individual right to thoughts, if we let them.

Trump released LG's number because it proved that at one time LG called him to beg for money. Also, LG defended the NSA snooping by saying that if we don't have anything to hide we didn't need privacy. Now, LG's upset that HIS privacy was violated. So, privacy for me but not for thee, little peasants.
Today ALONE Trump has done the following: blasted Planned Parenthood and the VA (on Dana Loesch's radio show), lowered all the flags on Trump properties for Chattanooga BEFORE Obama did (then zinged O on twitter saying O was following Trump's lead), revealed that LG is a jerk for begging for money and then calling him a "jackass", and the best thing of all: set up a hotline and email for veterans to call with their horror stories about dealing with the VA and how THEY think it should be fixed. Whew. Trump can walk and chew gum at the same time!!
NEVER APOLOGIZE! To quote Breibart's last tweet: "Apologize for what?"

Trump did attack Hillary, quite strongly, last week.
She criticized him about something, and his response was along the lines of, "I appreciate her concern for me, but she should really focus on continuing to keep her illegal secret emails hidden from Congress."
He straight-up called her a criminal! What other GOP presidential candidate has done that? I think Carly Fiorina probably has, and she's the only one besides Trump.
