Coulter's new piece.
Trump is like Reagan and the media is clueless about it
...In fact, most candidates who were in first place the summer before an election year went on to be the nominee. Luckily, Politico is not a website primarily concerned with politics or it might have known this.
Among them: Ronald Reagan in August 1979, Walter Mondale in August 1983, Michael Dukakis (tied for first) in August 1987, Bob Dole in August 1995; George W. Bush in August 1999 and Mitt Romney in August 2011.
...Even Reagan wasn't dominating the polls then the way Trump is now. In the Post's poll, Reagan was at 27 percent, compared to 13 to 15 percent for everybody else, including undecideds. Since announcing his candidacy four months ago by talking about Mexican "rapists," Trump has been polling at around 20 percent to 30 percent, with nearly every other candidate stuck in the single digits.

Sen. Marco Rubio, who has the worst attendance record in the US Senate, proposed a bill on Tuesday to authorize the firing of Veterans Administration employees for not coming to work.
"All we're saying in this bill is if you work at the VA and you aren't doing your job, they get to fire you. I think people are shocked that that [doesn't] actually exist in the entire government, since there is really no other job in the country where if you don't do your job, you don't get fired.". said Rubio.
The Post reported earlier this month that Rubio has missed 84 of 275 votes in Congress's upper chamber, or 30.5 percent. For October to date, he has missed seven of eight recorded votes.

Anna, I am assuming you know this, so ignore me if you do (others may not know).
Goodreads is the GOTO place for those who love to read and write. Top spot for published authors.
There are some other sites dedicated to this (booktalk.org, librarything.com, kboards.com, etc) but Goodreads is the best, imho.
You can find all sorts of resources for editing, reviews, and cover art. Even advice on your art.
Best of all, the support from co-authors is fantastic. Very nice people run the site, and it is jam-packed with information. You can set up your own Author profile there, join groups of similar interests, and so forth.
It's a must for authors (and avid readers). All of the Top Authors have profiles there, where you can follow their work, and many communicate with you there.
https://www.goodreads.com/
It's hard to explain what a useful site this is. If you are a member you already know this. And as a new member it takes a bit to figure out all the goodies there, just be patient. It's a huge archive and database.

So embarrassing to watch. It's okay to disagree, but CK's face and eye-rolling was caught on camera, and then doubled-down on his "subtle" attack.

Perfectly legal. The middle men go to the company that wants ads placed and doesn't want to go through all the headache, so a rebate from the media should go to the middle man who is doing all the drudge work.

Yeah, I work at a place that gets regular calls from some "Yelp representative" to "claim our Yelp page" so we can post information or respond to comments. I said to the young lady, "Yes, I am familiar with Yelp and I have no interest in it. I've been on the internet in various capacities since the early 1990s, I hope your company goes the way of Flooz and Alta Vista. Thank you for your time."
Dedicated review sites, even useful ones, always end up becoming ridiculous arm-twisting agents of political correctness. That's how the internet (and more particularly the world wide web) works: the loudest bunch of retards ends up ruining everything. We are continuously developing new technologies, such as facebook and twitter and reddit, to corral and gulag loud-mouthed idiots, but it's still just a holding action, you can't ever win because they're too stupid and too opinionated.

The democrats have a war room with 30 staffers, armed with opposition research on all the republican members of the committee, ready to refute and spin anything in real time.
The republicans, on the other hand, probably haven't even talked to each other about who is going to question what.
Here's an idea...
Let's cut the pay of congressmen and senators to find "citizen legislators". No need to waste a lot of money trying to lure competent people to serve, we can find them on the street corner and pay them peanuts.
Yeah, that's the plan.

I seem to remember a blogger called Althouse .... used to read it until she did the "I'm a staunch conservative who's voting for Obama" thing.
She had one or two decent commenters, but the place was usually a trainwreck. It reached its lowest point during the last election, where some fool named "The Crack Emcee" insisted to the point of insanity that, were Romney to be elected, he'd put the country under Mormon law, just as he had when he was governor of Massachusetts. Combine him with another commenter whose whole shtick was insisting that the John Doe investigations were totes legit and Scott Walker would be indicted any minute now, and there's no reason to ever visit her site again.
Sadly, I'm getting that way with Neo-Neocon, too. She's sensible, but too many of her commenters have drunk the "anybody but Trump" Kool-Aid, even to the point of smugly insisting they'll stay home rather than pollute their vote by giving it to Teh Donald.

One of the first acts he did after he assisted Romney in giving us another four years of Obama was to screw over the veterans in a totally bogus measly $6 billion "budget cut". Of all of the places he could have taken that pissant amount of money without even causing a ripple in the pond of the governments rape of this country and he chose the veterans.
Amnesty and sucking up to that racist fuck Gutierrez... bad enough. Boning the veterans in a time of war. That seals it for me.

Years ago, in a day of uncertainty and disillusionment, when my whole life seemed to be overwhelmed by forces outside of my control, one morning quite casually I opened my New Testament and my eyes fell on this sentence, "He that hath sent me is with me-the father hath not left me alone." (John 8:29). My life has never been the same since that hour. Everything for me has been different after that. I suppose not a day has passed that I have not repeated it to myself. Many have come to me for counseling during those years, and I have always sent them away with this sustaining sentence.. Ever since that hour when my eyes fell upon it, I have lived by this sentence. I have walked with it and found in it my peace and strength. To me it is the very essence of religion. It lies at the rock bottom of everything that makes life worth living. It is the Golden Text of my life.

Trump isn't the problem.

They haven't kept one promise.
They enabled and expanded the Obama/Democrat agenda.
Are ready to open the borders completely to destroy this country, it's culture, and the middle class.
And are preparing to save and fully fund Obamacare and PP.
Yeah, mayyyyyybe Jeb! would be winning at this point if Trump weren't in, but-
you wouldn't win the general and wouldn't have any voters-
a Republican running on the Democrat agenda is no better than a Democrat running on the Democrat agenda.

But, Trump will, at least give me one thing that I want.
You're exactly right! In a Trump Administration, you can expect the wall with Mexico will be built in 6 months tops! Of course in the meantime I will have pushed through gun control, single-payer health care, taxing the rich, letting Putin have all of the Middle East, appointing my business buddy to SCOTUS who would make Harriet Miers look like a complete genius, and seizing more land so that I can build more casinos.
But you'll have your wall! That will make America great!

I believe that whatever "conservative" principles he might have are along the lines of what he'd call "common sense." What I do know is that the GOPe, various members of the punditocrasie and other exemplars of so-called "conservative" thought, are fighting against Trump with far, far more energy and vitriol than they have ever displayed towards Obama. This tells me that a Trump presidency is something they fear. What is that fear?Don't tell me it's fear for the country's future, its security or its fiscal health. After nearly eight years of fellating Obama, the GOP very plainly doesn't give a shit about America. They care only about their place at the trough. And their screaming about Trump tells me that, in some way, he threatens their place at the trough.So, short of the National Razor, Trump is my weapon to hand against the GOP.

Eh, they're whistling past the graveyard. Gun control is less popular now than it has ever been among the public and more and more women are buying guns. It seems to be the one bit of proggie propaganda that Americans don't swallow - so they're getting increasingly shrill and desperate about it.
That's not to say gun owners should be complacent, but in a country with more guns than people, predictions of the unpopularity of the 2nd amendment seem pretty ridiculous.

.I find that hard to believe. Hitler did meet with the Mufti several times but he hated Arabs. He grudgingly let the Army raise a couple of Divisions of Muslim troops but they never did much of anything. Hitler thought all Muslims and people of Middle Eastern descent were "racially inferior" to Europeans and half witted apes. He only tolerated them because they gave trouble to the British in Arabia.

Not in his political thinking but along the lines of he motivates people and the GOPe really doesn't like him. I remember the press and GOP pretty much painting Reagan as a clueless dolt. There was some comic video about the candidates and all Reagan would say was "I will be your knight in shining armor."

He reminds me of the prosecutor from My Cousin Vinny.
He can be Trumps VP.
Trump is going to be the nominee of this there can be no doubt.
Whether the GOP actually allows it is another story.

any other candidate needs their money. Cruz and Jindal cannot get the nom or elected with out GOP support
even if by some miracle they got enough votes to get the nom, I believe with every fiber of my being that GOP would undermine them inthe general. Like Steve Schmidt.
the GOP leadership is invested in the current corrupt system and they do not give a shit what the base wants
voting for Jindal is the "symbolic" vote, the meaningless vote, as much as I like him. He will not succeed because the apparatus he belongs to would never permit it

The written test is difficult because there's so much more than what's on the regular auto test, and so many rules are different too. The absolute worst part is the road test though. Had to back the bus into a "garage" (cinderblock structure with three 8' walls) that had very little clearance on either side, and you had to back the bus in to within 12" of a little cone they had placed in the back. And you only got one correction move during your backing in attempt.
Prayers going up! With second attempt she knows what to expect now, so she'll probably do much better.

Posted by: Teh Donald at October 21, 2015 09:35 AM (lVU49)
Alright, stop.
Back up.
I'm weary of this idiocy.
Noah Rothman asked this question recently: "Since when is hiking taxes on the rich a conservative position?"
The question is instructive, as it is the only thing that social cons and fiscal cons agree upon. Higher taxes on the megarich generally have a negative economic impact on the country, so lower taxes as a means of attracting business is the way to go. If this concept existed in a vacuum, it would be a no-brainer, however, there is no vacuum.
The cold, brutal truth is that the GOP donors and establishment wield this policy as a shield against Democrat tax policies that they want protection from, while they, ultimately, agree with and help engineer Democrat social positions.
That's the truth of the matter. The GOP establishment/donor class agree with the Democrats on social policy, while using the Republican voter as a human shield against Democratic taxation.
We are human shields that bear the brunt of confiscatory tax policy while the rich laugh at us, and use us to enact social reforms that they or their trophy wives/husbands find fashionable.
So my answer to "Since when is taxing the rich a conservative position?", troll-poster, and Noah Rothman, is simply this: "Since it was made clear that there is no alliance between donor and voter, and since we realized that we are unwilling foot soldiers for the rich's societal games."
Put bluntly, yes, tax the rich. Tax the hell out of them. Set this country on a path to righteousness first, and prosperity second, and we will have peace, justice, AND prosperity in short order. Trust in God, not in men.
Or don't, and watch the nation burn to the ground as World War III fires up.
Either way, it is the godless money-lovers who will suffer the most. o.o S'way it is.

What does that even mean?
I have been upfront all along that I am a conservative first and Republican second. Neither Trump nor Jeb are conservatives.
Plus I am inherently skeptical of populism run amok.
It seems that many in the pro-Trump crowd are single-issue immigration voters first, anti-establishment voters second, and conservatism is way down on the list at #8 or something. Am I wrong?

You mean urge Democrats to cross over to defeat a conservative candidate in favor of a decrepit, incontinent crony Republican?
Interesting angle I read about that; part of the reason for the GOP's dirty tricks in Mississippi is because Scott Brown refused to run in New Hampshire unless the party made sure he wouldn't be "embarrassed" by a Tea Party senate candidate in another state.
So we got two losers for the price of one in that deal.

Somehow equating Jeb! and Trump as the different sides of the same coin just doens't ring true to many people. There are reasons not to support Trump but he isn't because he is like Jeb! Remember "the loyalty pledge"? Of course you didn't sign it, but the GOPe required it, and I suspect most wouldn't not support Trump either ...proving once again the dishonesty creds of the GOPe are very real.

Damn straight it has. If you take in less money and then spend even more wildly, bad things are bound to happen. This is not uncommon knowledge, yet the GOP does not seem to be able to stop itself. Why?
Simple! They don't care. They are enjoying aristocratic lives rubbing shoulders with corporate bigwigs, pop culture stars, and high-dollar whores. Concerns about the future are for those who have to manage their money; not something the Washington faux elites have to do. They'll simply print, tax, and steal whatever they need.
Years ago when I was younger I had a difficult time arguing against a Democrat, much older than I was, about why the Republicans were more fiscally responsible when they were running big deficits in the Bush years. I had no good answer, and at the time, did not know enough to discern the truth. That has changed.
Soak the rich. Let them feel the pain they inflict upon us. When they cry and scream about how it isn't responsible conservative position, laugh and go full confiscatory on them. Only when they understand how powerless the rank and file have felt will they begin to change.
Or they'll threaten to leave the country, which, in actuality, won't be that bad; we have more than enough resources on our own to prosper the country for decades to come, especially in the oil markets. If we went full-bore going after our own energy reserves? House Saud gets kicked to the curb at long last.
The rise of Trump in this presidential race has done more good in American politics than anything I can remember in the course of my 29 years so far. Perhaps the rest of you can remember better things, but this is the closest thing to a realignment of the country that I have yet seen.

I didn't say that Trump and Jeb are equivalent.
I said that neither one is a conservative. They are each un-conservative in different ways.
Jeb! is too much of a pro-amnesty moderate RINO squish to be a conservative.
Trump is too much of a populist to be a conservative.

Why would immigrants want to be conservative? All people like you do is trash them. You are not a conservative but a national socialist masquerading as one.
You want a cradle to grave welfare state and just hate foreigners because you want a bigger cut of the gravy train.
Fact is most immigrants are legal and already here. Nothing you can do about that. You will just whine and cry in this place.

that's fine. I just believe that it is possible to have our cake and eat it too.
I think it is possible to elect someone who actually IS a conservative, and who will shake things up in DC to advance real conservative reforms. I don't think we have to settle for Trump, who will definitely shake things up in DC, but will likely not advance much of anything that would pass as a conservative reform.
Look, W. was able to bully Congress into adopting NCLB and Medicare Part D even though they were decidedly unconservative ideas. Why can't the next president bully Congress into adopting some decidedly *pro*-conservative ideas?

That's not specifically what I was referring to.
I was referring mainly to his flip-flopping on pretty much every issue so that he stayed ahead of the popular opinion of whatever demographic he happens to be chasing at the moment.
When it looked like Dems were in the ascendancy, he was praising Obama and bribing Hillary to come to his wedding.. When it looks like Dems are now in the outs, he now claims to be a Republican.

Liberalism is a cult. Their followers will jump off of buildings if they think the cause will be furthered. They don't need any incentives.
However, the republicans do. And, in keeping with the values of democrats, they are greedy. So, if the proper pay structure was established, giving a decent base pay with a matching bonus if goals are met, event the left will bend to find the cuts and meet the deadlines to get paid.

Let's put it this way. Here is my general election voting record:
GHW Bush
Dole
GW Bush
McCain
Romney
I would probably be considered far right in my views. But my voting record is firmly in the moderate GOPe camp. Trump is certainly no worse than those listed above and probably better on several specific issues.
If Cruz is the nominee, I'd vote for him, even though he is a career politician. At one time Jindal was at the top of my list, but him wanting MORE immigration is national suicide, I don't see how I can vote for him.

Posted by: chemjeff at October 21, 2015 10:05 AM (lVU49)
Why should they be monetarily rewarded for destroying the country?
They should not.
I'd be happy to support Cruz in the race, but this is why-
we have a super-mega field with 0-3% guys still in the race.
The GOPe learned with McCain and Romney that it's an easy way to get the opposition vote split 10 different ways and get their guy elected.
That's why they pushed Jeb! so hard before the debates,
his poll numbers were supposed to remain above "the crowd" and by this time he would be coronated for the nom.
Trump needs to stay in until Jeb! and the other 0-3% GOPe-tards drop out.
That won't happen because the GOPe and their handlers are too stupid to adapt.
So...Trump it will be and it's all their fault.
I just hope Trump is smart enough to pick Cruz as his running mate.
If that's the most conservative ticket I can, get that's fine.
Posted by: naturalfake at October 21, 2015 10:53 AM (0cMkb)
immigration is national suicide, I don't see how I can vote for him.
More *legal* immigration is fine, as long as WE get to choose who the immigrants are. That is how Europe does it. (Well except for their current refugee nonsense.) They only let in the people that they want.
The problem is when we don't control our borders and we don't choose who gets in. That is the national suicide part.
Posted by: chemjeff at October 21, 2015 10:53 AM (lVU49)
A Cruz/Trump ticket would be a blast. My imagination goes wild with Trump presiding over the Senate -- especially with his being popular enough to overturn the tired rhetoric (see Reid's yesterday speech).

Cult end when they commit suicide or somebody comes in with guns blazing and putting bullets in their heads, literally.

No, more legal immigration is not fine. Your saying the current situation with 14 million illegals would be fine if we just had a bigger door to let them in legally originally, or were somehow able to weed them out effectively from the good immigrants. Our Federal government is not competent enough to do that.
How many people do you think we need coming into this country?

IF we had secure borders - yes, with a wall - then illegal immigration would not be a viable option.
Then, we would be able to select whom we want via our own policies. Right now the policy is to reward family reunification above all other considerations. That is wrong. sure family reunification is fine, but shouldn't be the pre-eminent dominant strategy.
I don't know how much we "need" in terms of legal immigration. Probably not all that many.
