I will say this. There is a possibility that the Establishment is in fact wish-casting that they can turn Trump into a Statist. If he wins, he may yet surprise us.
But past performance over time is a very strong indicator of future actions. And with Trump, that does not bode well. If he goes all the way, I hope to G-d I'm wrong. I fear I'm not.

Oh yeah, McConnell's endorsement should be an easy pill for those that are leaning (or balls deep in) Trump to swallow.
Two ways of looking at it: either McCocksickle agrees with the commenters on the board that the GOPe thinks Teh Donald is more of a deal maker and "consensus builder" than Cruz, or the gutless windsock sees the direction things are going and decided to get in while the getting was good for some sweet, sweet taxpayer cash.
Either way, it diminishes my enthusiasm for Trump. If he's got any brains, he'd refuse the endorsement and tell the bastard to start packing his bags.

It's been about three weeks since we received 9 inches of snow here in Wisconsin. I haven't left the house yet...but I will soon if supplies run out. We have two tins of sardines and a half box of saltines left out of the 1200 lbs. of food we stored last month for snowmageddon....
*sobs*
Luckily we brought the fire pit into the living room when the storm first began...at least we have been able to stay warm. The only thing that worries me is that we are running low on books and furniture to burn. I pray that the citizens on the east coast find a way to survive.

The shelf-stable hyper-pasteurized milk in the tetrapak seems like a solution here. It won't last the whole winter like toilet paper does, but you could stick a couple extra in the pantry on a sunny day and then laugh at everyone next week when it blizzes.

Think you might like it. Kudelia could be argued is Relena Peacecraft but not really. 300 years after the Calamity Wars, the Earth is divided into 4 power blocks and there is an organization that enforced the peace after those wars which has grown corrupt, very Hapsburg-ish, and keeps a jack-boot on as many necks as possible. Kudelia is trying to get to Earth to negotiate with one of the power-blocks for more Martian autonomy. Naturally there are many players who don't want to see that happen.

And Trump, I would argue has a much more checkered past - and recent past - than some.

Someone other than Cruz. Who I believe is far more establishment than he tries to seem and he definitely falls off for me over some of his basic opinions that he thinks will be good for the country.
The main one is his support for more imported labor of all sorts, the next is a refusal to consider stopping Muslim influx without some means of vetting them for jihadis. (of course it won't help those who flip while here but let's not import those who already have) and his being against stopping the anchor babies.
Just those disagreements are enough for me. That's besides my gut feeling that he's not showing his true self that he will be 100% GOPe ( or close enough to it) if he were elected.
People forget how many times the person we elect isn't the person who governs. I've seen enough elections to have seen it a few times.
It just isn't worth taking the chance when he appears so establishment. While Trump is either an unknown or a Democrat backer. None of which happened while he held an elective office. And that's the hope for me. That if he does just a couple things he said he would, then it will be worth it. Cruz won't even consider some of them.
The NR has been in decline since Buckley left and has become an organ for the establishment and not one of opposition to the liberal way.

I'll take the ego.
Liberals and conservatives hide behind the dogma and the system to perpetuate the status quo. The politicians just follow the same template that has been used for decades, with no one accountable for results.
Trumps ego won't allow that.
No matter what happens, Trump will know he will either be blamed or given credit. His ego will drive major changes that will move the needle off of dead center, where it's been stuck for years.

Attack did not develop as planned. Met arty and mortar fire. River too swift for engineers. Troops got across OK but some withdrew back across. Regrouping.

I can't believe people are falling for the same horseshit Serial Divide and Conquer Technique that gave us Romney last go round.
Both Trump and Cruz benefit each other by being one and two.
That blocks out the people we definitely don't want and keeps them out of the game.
Lately, we've had a lot of concern trolling about Cruz.(I'm sure you know who they are.)
Whether you are being paid to troll or not, you are playing the GOPe's game...why?
Since Cruz is the heavy target these days..Let's ask--what happens if he gets knocked out?
That means Rubio or Jeb! or Kasich or the Fat Man takes his place, and that means Trump is now free to tack to the middle to appeal to their voters.
And soften his immigration policies.
Trump is only useful as a candidate as long as the competitive pressure comes from a conservative direction.
And if Cruz goes, Trump will be next- you don't think the opposition research teams doesn't have the same silly horseshit crap that they've been using on Cruz?
They do.
This is exactly how we got Romney as the nominee last time.
How'd that work out?
Let's try being smart this time and wait until say, after March 15 before tearing into either Trump or Cruz.
By then, it will be a done deal. The GOPe losers will be out at that point or inconsequential.
Boosting your guy? Sure, go nuts.
Tearing the other guy down?
Nope.
Reserve that for Jeb!, Kasich, Rubio, Christie. The sooner they're out, the better.
Then after Mar 15 unleash, do your worst -
cuz by then we as conservatives will have two good candidates.
Cruz or Trump.
And one or both of them will have enough votes, so that they won't have to deal with the GOPe-
and the brokered convention, which you know will give us Jeb! goes straight down the toilet.
I know...TL/DR.

So was Obama's. Just saying.
And as I have always said, Trump is not a hold-the-nose and pull the lever candidate. I WILL support him if he gets the nod.
But his previous positions on things and his unwarranted smear campaign against Ted Cruz is inexcusable, a big turn off and counterproductive to the overall debate/fight against the Leftists.
That is all.

That reminds me.
Was speaking with one of our government Officials office yesterday, and the topic of College students offering testimony at community input meetings came up.
After hearing a rather detailed description of a hearing the day before, I responded with "Oh, you must mean a metrosexual wearing a onesies, drinking some hot coco at their parents house.
The response I received was "Yeh....a regular Pajama Boy".
I about fell off the chair.

I hold Cruz to a higher standard because he's supposed to be a "movement Conservstive" and only came around after he saw what a loser being and advocate for American worker displacement is.
Listen, I like Cruz, I want him to be VP.
Trump/Cruz could possibly be the best team since Martin and Lewis.
The idea of him running rough shod as President of the Senate send a thrill up my spine.
But let's not pretend Cruz is some principled "Conservstive"
Conservatism would never lead you to support this current H1b system, conservatism would never lead you to invert the treaty clause.
Cruz has a faulty understanding of the 14th amendment vis-vis illegal aliens,etc.
So let's not pretend Cruz is the second coming of William F Buckley or Burke.

I agree. Trump, unless he does something incredibly stupid to turn off the voters, will run away with it in a laugher. I think Cruz would win handily as well.
The Dems have nobody. And there is a real opportunity to send them into the wilderness for perhaps a generation.
This is why it pains me to see Trump go after Cruz from the left instead of going after the left itself.
Then again, the biggest obstacle to either as POTUS will be the entrenched GOP/CoC/Dem/MFM/Academia complex.

Here's a hint...It's not Trump.
The late attacks filled with half-truths, innuendo and lies going into a primary smell of the Bush group(see previous presidential primaries) and the GOPe.
Bush has been going hard after Rubio in his commercials. They are fighting for exactly the same voters.
If Rubio goes down, and Bush moves into his place
that makes Bush third.
If the current Cruz attacks by Jeb!/GOPe oppo research works, that will put Jeb! in 2nd place-
and make him the de facto main opposition to Trump
then all of that heavy duty money becomes a factor.
We saw this exact same game played out by Romney and his team-
knocking out conservatives because they weren't perfect
which gave us the perfect loser Romney.
This isn't 23 dimensional chess, and these Jeb!/GOPe consultants aren't as smart as they think they are-
unless you're as dumb as they think you are.
Let's keep things positive for both Trump and Cruz until after-
the Mar 15th primaries.
By, then Trump and Cruz will have the lion's share of votes-
which benefits us conservatives
because the a brokered convention which gives us Jeb! or Rubio cannot happen.

If Trump wins the election his strength will come from the American people. He needs the peoples support to get anything done. We know how the liberal press will treat him, and the commie donks, and the Vichy rhinos with their long knives. If Trump tries to get this country back on track and the people are giving their support to him, he will be doing a good job. If not, the Washington government traitors will tear him apart.
Cruz would be in the same boat.
Our enemies are not Trump or Cruz. We know who the enemy is.

The Red Stockings, while it was a nickname that WAS used during that time period, did not play in 1893. They were part of the Players' League in 1890 and the American Association in 1891. The Boston Red Stockings... the team we now know as the Red Sox, were not founded until 1901 with the rest of the American League.
Billy Something-or-other didn't play in 1893. His career spanned from 1883 to 1890, and he was on teams in Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. Of course, he eventually became much more famous as an evangelist preacher.

Jay Cost, who hates Trump, says they are Bushies hoping to force everyone else out leaving a head to head show down between Trump and Bush as the last two standing. They assume Bush will win
This is the strategy. It's also the strategy k street has endorsed

Hey, I give 'em a long leash.
So what are your plans today? Did you have to go to work? I took a day of leave in anticipation of them waiting until mid-day to tell us to go home, and sure enough, they gave the departure time as 1300 hours.

I was never a Trump fan, but I did enjoy seeing how much he alarmed everybody. I think he's basically a huckster.
I think he's made a big mistake in the way he's attacking Cruz now.
I know I won't consider supporting him.
Posted by: Cloyd Freud, Unemployed at January 22, 2016 09:02 AM (u5gzz)
I certainly understand finding his recent dealings with Cruz distasteful. What mystifies me beyond comprehension is how anyone is surprised by it.
Trump has always been Trump. You can draw a straight line from where he was when this process started, all the way to now... and frankly, you can keep drawing it all the way to his swearing in about a year from now.
At this point I believe it's going to happen. Oh yes it is.

Why?
conservatism would never lead you to invert the treaty clause.
Since the Iran deal wasn't a treaty, the treaty clause was irrelevant. There are a lot of conservatives, it appears, that are simply incapable of revisiting that initial snap judgment of "Failure Theater" in the light of new information, or considering the possibility that the GOPe may, for once in their miserable lives, actually been acting honestly (the third time the boy cried wolf, he was actually telling the truth, donchaknow?)

Because they want what's best for America?
Because they offer a better vision to the large crowds at Trump rallies?
No, they want Jeb to win so he can lose gracefully to whoever the Democrats nominate (someone who *will* campaign to win, any means necessary). They're worse than useless, they're on the other side.

---- Now they're telling us to dump Trump because he's not true conservative.

NRO's "Against Trump" thingy may as well be an endorsement of MittBot.
Somebody who I'm supposed to pay attention to, I guess, called The Donald "America's Middle Finger."

Ironic that 20 years later she had a hit with "Don't Sleep in The Subway," since that's exactly where her original fans were sleeping.
Every time I hear that song I think of the 1961 musical Subways Are For Sleeping, which was about a group of "lovable" homeless people sleeping in the NYC subway system. The producer was the legendary David Merrick, and as part of his advertising campaign, had big signs reading "Subways Are For Sleeping" posted throughout the subway system, but the transit authority made him pull them down, not wanting to encourage vagrants.
The musical was also responsible for Merrick's most famous PR stunt - he had an ad taken out in the Times containing rave reviews from what appeared to be the top NY critics such as Walter Kerr or Howard Taubman. . .except, if you looked closely at the pictures accompanying the blurbs, they weren't pix of the critics at all - instead, they were pix of people with the same names
