A Milwaukee man faces federal charges after he allegedly purchased two machine guns from undercover agents as part of a plan to attack a Masonic temple.
Court documents show federal prosecutors charged 23-year-old Samy Mohamed Hamzeh on Tuesday with unlawfully possessing a machine gun and unlawfully receiving and possessing firearms not registered to him. It wasn't immediately clear whether he had an attorney.
And where did he get these illegal machine guns? The feds sold them to him. So lets bring in some more muzzie savages.

Josh Krashauer at National Journal must have lifted Ace's post from yesterday, about the Establishment rooting for Trump to take out Cruz in Iowa, so it paves the way for Rubio to take out Trump.
Forgetting the polls, Trump's negatives are far and away the worst out of all candidates.
If this happens and we ultimately get an Establishment candidate, my head will explode.

And this is why Trump is so dangerous. His supporters have made an intensely emotional choice, and they must defend it with equally intense emotions. Thus the vitriol heaped upon anyone who dares to criticize Trump.
But what they don't see (aside from his chaotic politics and anti-conservative outlook) is that the same emotional connection they have will create in others an intense dislike for Trump. That's why his numbers will, in all likelihood, never rise past a large minority.
Oddly, if he wins it will be because of reflexive Republican voting and hatred of Hillary, not because of his appeal.

You're dead wrong. Trump's negatives among Republicans, Democrats and Independents are the lowest according to Gallup. And this is crucial in the general election. I think in one poll he had like a negative 50.

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a day of remembrance Tuesday for Mario Woods, the stabbing suspect shot to death last month by several police officers. It declares his birthday, July 22, to be Mario Woods Remembrance Day in San Francisco. It also offers Gwen Woods sincere condolences for the loss of her son and apologies for the way in which she has been treated since her sons death.
Police say Woods, 26, was a suspect in a Bayview stabbing and was carrying a knife when he was confronted by several officers Dec. 2 at a Muni bus stop. Police say they fired four nonlethal beanbag rounds at him and tried using pepper spray, but that Woods would not surrender. Video taken of the confrontation showed Woods starting to walk away from police when five officers opened fire with at least 15 rounds. Critics of how police handled the incident say theres no indication on the videos that Woods was lunging at or otherwise threatening the officers.

Trump has the best chance at turning public opinion away from big gubmint/NWO types and would have a much greater impact on society, him being a media personality and all. I don't trust him, and I did like that he pissed off all the right people, but his recent attacks on Cruz are making me re-evaluate him. There's just no reason for that.

I've been reading the reviews at Sundance of the movie "Birth of a Nation". The liberal racists are having a field day with this one.
They say the movie depicts the "systematic and brutal torture" the slave owners used and the "carnage as the slave owners and their henchmen mutilated their slaves".
Has anyone explained why a slave owner, who has purchased a valuable commodity (equal to a Ferrari) would "systematically" "mutilate" it?
Why is it that liberals have no problem believing that if someone has a southern accent, all reason is out the window and the only motivation is to senselessly damage your own property.

There are twice as many college grads supporting Trump than Rubio and Bush combined. The bad emotion is on the side of those with so much emotional hate for Trump, that they must attempt character assassination of not just Trump, but ALL his support.
This is why we can't have nice things, like reasonable discussions. ha
Trump is The Conservative on trade and borders, and The Man when it comes to making it a national campaign priority. Cruz wanted 5 times as many H-1Bs till he had to pivot for the election. "Purity" on abortion or a little grandstanding in a filibuster does not bring the key issues to the forefront.
Trump is the only one talking about deportations, specifically talking about immediately going after MS-13 types. The murders and other crimes from illegals are indeed emotional for many, and the open borders efforts by even parts of FOX should be alarming to all if they are paying attention to Europe.

I know you guys want to chalk this up to emotion, but you're confusing the candidate with his followers. Or maybe you think the rabid horde on the internet is the extent of Trump's voting base.
This would be wrong. Trump is appealing to both former Republican voters, and never Republican voters who are mostly either one-issue voters, or at most two-issue voters: Issue 1 is kill the "let all the mexicans in" crowd, which comprises much of the traditional Republican Party. Issue 2 is related to that, which is kill the Republican Party.
Whether people like it or not, Cruz is not going to tap into that crowd. Not enough to win, anyway. So if you take out Trump, Cruz loses to the "let all the mexicans in" crowd.
I understand why many people who still cling to a faint hope of Republican victory hate Trump. Regardless of whether you like it or not, the appeal to some vague notion of what the Republican Party was, or could be again, looks more like an emotional response to a shitty situation, than the support of Trump does.

Yes....it was a broad characterization. Are you new here?
And I absolutely love how Trump has stuck his thumb in the eye of the MSM, and simply refused to play their game by their rules. He has done a tremendous thing for American political discourse.
But...it is time for him to get serious and stop mouthing inane platitudes in every one of his speeches, and either get on with becoming a serious presidential candidate, or announce that he has done what he wanted and throw his support to Cruz.

It's not that I hate Trump. But I'm concerned deeply about his past positions and his current statements and leftwing smears. Does it not concern you that he thinks he can make deals with Pelosi, Reid and Schumer? I mean, what the hell is he thinking saying this?

I think that's just Trump being a politician. A not very good politician. But I'd be willing to bet you that if it looks like he's gonna get the nod, Cruz will be on the ticket with him.
Politics at the federal government level as practiced today is all about managing the flow of taxpayer sugar into your own interests and peddling influence so you can be seen and heard in the MSM. But in reality BUSINESS politics in its essence is being able to work with the people you disagree with. Trump has built an empire doing that and his particular style is suited for that environment.
Business politics and government politics don't necessarily mesh and I think that's why teh Trump stumbles like he does.

Which gets to the root of the problem: what is the purpose of the debate?
Judging by the networks' behaviors, it is to take out GOP candidates, not have an open discussion so that *GOP primary voters* can decide who best represents their interests and views.
The GOP party is allowing, maybe even participating in this sham. They are worse than useless, they're aiding the other side (provided one believes there really are two sides/parties at this point).

And this is why Trump is so dangerous. His supporters have made an intensely emotional choice, and they must defend it with equally intense emotions. Thus the vitriol heaped upon anyone who dares to criticize Trump.
But what they don't see (aside from his chaotic politics and anti-conservative outlook) is that the same emotional connection they have will create in others an intense dislike for Trump. That's why his numbers will, in all likelihood, never rise past a large minority.
Oddly, if he wins it will be because of reflexive Republican voting and hatred of Hillary, not because of his appeal.

yeah, I was really referring back to that WSJ graphic linked here last night. They dishonestly compared 100 voters from each three groups ... Rubio/Bush, Cruz/Carson, and Trump. That is already skewing the real numbers big time.
Then they assigned little pictures showing Rubio/Bush had like 55% college grads, while Trump was like 38%, and Cruz/Carson close to Trump's, I forget that number. So it made it look like the smart guys are for the establishment.
But of course the raw numbers show it is 55% of a much smaller pool, so Trump has many more college grad supporters than any of them, more than any of those even when they combined the groups. It was more character assassination of the Trump support ... a common theme in the media, even FOX.

I have done a lot of investigation in that era and that myth of the evil Simon Legrees using a snake whip on the slaves. They always trot out the same old picture of the slave with all the whip marks on his back and do not provide any other meaningful evident that this occurred in anything other than rare isolated incidents.
The facts are that the average slave in that era cost $2,000 in gold. That was a fortune back then and there were a lot more ways to discipline unruly slaves other than beating them half to death with a snake whip. The other facts are that there was only one plantation that was anything like Tara with hundreds of slaves and that the normal farm the owners were out there in the fields working right along side of the slave they owned.

If Trump thinks deal making in Congress is anything like that in the real world then he really is stupid.
The Democrats have one goal. Move ever leftward and destroy the country. The only thing they ever negotiate is the speed at which that happens. Moving the other way is a non-starter.
Does Trump think he can do that? Does he even want to do that, considering the Chamber of Commerce goes along because they get rich from the destruction?

We've seen this maneuver so many times, usually it's with a "conservative" pundit, campaign consultant, or politician - Nicole Wallace, David Frum, John McCain. They get entry into the MSM club by bashing the GOP, conservatism, all they were associated with before they "evolved."

Political English = Repubs make a deal and it goes 30/70.
Business English = Your side GETS 80%. And pray they don't alter the deal further." rick
excellent. A POTUS makes deals and persuades, using the bully pulpit. Trump has made things public issues and that is how things get done.
Giuliani was on with Megyn last night giving several reasons he was for Trump over Cruz (though he also like establishment guys since they are his friends, as is Trump). Like many of us, he thinks Cruz has trouble winning since he has been such a strident conservative. And would have the same problem as POTUS.
There need to be a lot of deals, and bringing in the left will help, as long as they know their weakened bargaining position.

My big worry is that Trump is essentially, wittingly or unwittingly, doing what Obama did in '08 - allowing people frustrated by the status quo to project their own desires onto him.
Trump has past accomplishments to critique. Good or bad. Warts and all. He hasn't paid millions to hide all of his records.

I'm not a Trump supporter, just a fan of how he's shaken up this campaign by breaking the rules --- one of them being that GOP candidates have to make nice with the press to get their approval/good coverage.
Posted by: Lizzy at January 27, 2016 08:08 AM (NOIQH)
I'd have to disagree. Trump had the temerity to actually say out loud what a lot of us had been thinking about the Mexican border. This issue has been ignored for decades and people are becoming tired of seeing illiterate Mexicans pile out of a brand new truck at Home Depot while sitting in their old beater.
Or in the case of Disney (piss be upon them) being forced to train their replacements after getting the best performance review of their career.
People are tired of being replaced by cheap foreign labor. It took a while, but they're seeing how they've been sold out for a few pieces of gold.

Sort of like Cruz supporters that won't even consider Cruz is not a natural born citizen of the U.S. Anyone that thinks that is just a "birther" and attacking from the left wing.
Or that if you think a Goldman Sachs connection may be a bad thing, your just a loon. And all that's illegitimate talk.

All remittances over $X to the following zones are subject to a fee of X%.
It's ALREADY BEEN DONE...to all utilities.
We're talking about EFT transactions. Hit the acquirer for the fee, and the issuer WILL be assessed. Once the ACH is outside of the US, the fee will apply. Visa and MC ALREADY assess fees for "cross border" transactions.
This isn't a pipe dream, nor fantasy. Its copying what has already occurred.

That is like $100B/yr for Mexico and the other countries to the south. Those are from US jobs where we build the infrastructure and then the revenue doesn't rebuild the community, which instead gets welfare. Revenue instead escapes and builds some hell hole drug infested city in Mexico. If they added the drug and human smuggling money to remittances it is probably double that or more. El Chapo was listed in Forbes as a billionaire, iirc.
Obama's gang is out of corrupt Chicago (Hillary too I guess). I don't doubt the drug money finds its way to his base and part of his power structure. Closing the border to illegals would be a huge step toward making us safe again. Trump is talking about 1000 miles of "wall", and the rest can be done once the will is there to stop the trafficking. Mexico pays in one way or another ... we even give them half a billion a year in aid.

What they fail to understand is that immigration is *the* most important issue, since Obama et. al. are actively diluting citizens' votes for GOP, conservative values. Who cares what you've bargained to do down the road with Chuck --- you won't be in office then, and you'll never have another GOP president.
The UK Labour party did this exact same thing over a decade ago, with memos uncovered spelling out that they were specifically bringing in immigrant masses to ensure dominance at the ballot box and to rub conservatives noses in the diversity. Look how well it's turned out for them.

As to Goldman Sachs, his wife worked there and he took out a loan and paid it back in full.

The citizen thing has been covered ad nauseum. He's eligible. No less than Mark Levin has fisked it dry.
And the loan thing, too, is not disqualifying, and ironic that it's coming from a candidate who made a fortune off securing outside financing for real estate projects.
I'm a Let It Burn type, and if I can I'm voting for Trump as a way to demolish the GOPe. If I thought Cruz would accomplish the same end more constructively I'd vote for him. But as it sits, I'm under no illusion as to the nature of the Golem that is Donald Trump.

In Georgia, the proceeds from the lottery for the most part are dedicated to paying college tuition called the Hope Scholarship. (Not sure I like this whole scheme to begin with but that is another story.) A 3.0 GPA must be maintained to qualify for this aid. Now it has been decided not enough students are taking STEM classes so the requirement is being lowered by 0.5 points (actually I think it is weighted) for students taking these impossibly hard classes that nobody ever gets a A or B in.
In this day of massive grade inflation I'm surprised this is even necessary. Obviously to anybody outside the govt/education complex this will just encourage students to slack off or unqualified students to take classes they shouldn't be in. What a mess govt. makes of everything it tries to fix.

Here's the thing. I support Cruz while recognizing his legitimate shortcomings and black marks, vis a vis his voting record and positions.
Trump has utterly devolved into a mouth-breathing vulgarian who is just playing off the anger of the people and developing a rather alarming cult of personalty.
As Cruz has climbed to challenge him in the polls, he has gotten gone off the deep end and turned into the attack dog of both the Democrats and GOP-e.
The angry man schtick was all well and good last summer into the fall, but it is wearing thin. And with him saying he gets along and can work with the pieces of shit that we booted out in 2010 and 2014 while trashing a real conservative candidate is just beyond the pale.
But some people here will not tolerate any deviation from the orthodoxy and the meme - just like Democrats.
If you want to debate, then answer the legitimate questions about Trump with actual cogent answers. Not with attacks on Ted Cruz but with a reasoned argument about Trump.

I
have no idea whether that is true. There is obviously a large
underground economy, but the taxable income of Mexicans here probably
dwarfs the under-the-table income.
OK, you're an employer of illegal aliens which - by the way is already a crime - so you're going to make sure they have a Social Security number so that you can pay another 15% (or so) of their salary to the Feds, and do withholding, and not paying them in cash. The whole point of being an illegal alien is that you can't be here legally. If you could get a Social Security # you wouldn't need to be an illegal alien in the first place. Bottom line - none of those guys you see building houses or blowing leaves are paying any taxes - or have insurance on their cars etc. - like the rest of us do. So yeah, that money going to Mexico is un-taxed money.
You seem to think that the flood of illegals is really a flood of good ole boy Mericans at heart.

In Georgia, the proceeds from the lottery for the most part are dedicated to paying college tuition called the Hope Scholarship. (Not sure I like this whole scheme to begin with but that is another story.) A 3.0 GPA must be maintained to qualify for this aid. Now it has been decided not enough students are taking STEM classes so the requirement is being lowered by 0.5 points (actually I think it is weighted) for students taking these impossibly hard classes that nobody ever gets a A or B in.
In this day of massive grade inflation I'm surprised this is even necessary. Obviously to anybody outside the govt/education complex this will just encourage students to slack off or unqualified students to take classes they shouldn't be in. What a mess govt. makes of everything it tries to fix.

Forget trust. It's a question of analyzing a situation, vis a vis the state of the nation and how the government works (or doesn't), and then looking at the record and statements of the candidates and making the best choice from a known set of data of the person you think has a shot at stopping some of the madness.
Ultimately, you will be let down either because they tried and failed or they outright lied about their intentions. You hope you choose the one who fails the least.

Though being probably being the most critical election in the history of the country, it is shaping up to be one of the most odd - ridiculous even.
Prediction: There will be significant third party run this election. Not only that - there will be a significant fourth party run this election, making it possible that the person elected this election will be the most radical, incompetent person to hold office ever, putting even Obama to shame. Sanders already fits the bill, but he will have competition for that ranking.

One of the most difficult jobs I had was when I was in college. I sold women's shoes. High end shoes. Vaneli, Ferragamo, etc.
This was back in the late 80's and they were $100+ back then. I deon't get paying that much for women's shoes. They typically don't last anywhere near as long as men's, (I have shoes that are 20 years old, and going strong), and the styles are fleeting. That being said, I would still buy my wife a pair of Clarks that cost over $100. Because they last. Also, hit Zappos. It's a great site, ALL SHOES, and great deals.

But Netanyahu lost me a little when he scolded Trump on the pause on all Muslims (till we figure out what the hell is going on, with exceptions for business, etc). Israel has a wall and enforces their numbers to keep Israel Jewish. Trump was saying we would still treat American Muslims as Americans (though watch mosques that contact terrorists), but that we don't do Obama's mass import of unvetted Muslims. Netanyahu put him down for that, and remember Trump is the leading candidate, taking heat from a foreigner.
We support Israel as an ally, but I don't like Netanyahu scolding Trump, telling us to take in more Muslims. My sense on the Rubio is that he would be the establishment guy, more controllable on being aggressive on Israel's behalf. That's a "Merkelesque" globalist push, in my view, where foreign interests enter our politics. We don't need ANY more immigration really, very restrictive on even legals for another decade would be fine. And the crap sandwich left by Obama on Iran will de dealt with on an America First basis (unless we get a globalist controlled president).

And, the Court has imposed mandatory "sensitivity seminars"
Ruled that the farm, which occasionally hosts banquets etc is a "public accommodation" and the "discrimination" against gays was unlawful.
I would bet that the farm owners have no problem if anyone wants to sodomize anyone in their own private space, but they do have a problem with calling it "marriage." This was, of course, the 90% consensus position about four years ago. So technically, I doubt they were "discriminating" due to gheyness but due to calling-it-marriageness.
But the law is a hammer and not a scalpel. This is the problem when you start legislating social attitudes and thoughts. You think you can make a clear distinction, but that is really lost in the process, and in the end you have the hammar of the State punishing you for wrong thinking. This creeps into society to the point that everyone just shuts up, keeps their head down and hopes no one notices them. Full fucking Soviet.

Both Trump and Cruz have issues I do not like.
But I will vote for one of the two if they are the candidate.
I will not stump for either one nor will I send money to either one.
The days of me trying to persuade someone to vote for one or the other is long gone.
My personal belief is that this country has already received its mortal wound, we are now just waiting for it to takes its last breath.
There will be no white knight riding in to save us, its to late for that.

I like simple, well-made work boots. If you think shoe prices are outrageous, take a look at boots.
I got a discontinued style of Wolverines a couple of weeks ago for $50. I've had good luck with Wolverines in the past, but I'm not too sure about these. Made in China.
Received a pair of LaCrosse waterproof boots from Botach yesterday for another $50. Made in Viet Nam.
I might be better off going for real quality like Danner or Redwing, but they cost some serious bucks.

Exactly.
The calls to take it as an opportunity would make sense if this happened infrequently; however, they're pretty much dealing with this all the time, thanks to an adversarial press. When do conservatives get to ask questions about conservative issues instead of the endless stream of "Why do you hate Muslims?" "Why do you want to deport all brown people?" Why do you want to deny women healthcare?" blah blah blah.

But of course, Trump's bankruptcies and bank dealings are totally above board and legitimate. Especially in Democrat strongholds like NY and NJ.

See, why you getting personal?
I clearly said Trump isn't perfect. And Cruz supporters have repeatedly pointed out Trump bankruptcies. And yes his relationship with his creditors is fair game, even if it is from previous private business transactions.
Just like Cruz, except Cruz's loan was for the purpose of supporting his political campaign though he did not notify the FEC of that fact.

And I was born in a small town that had a Red Wing boot factory where the workers were paid piece rate. (It was hell. I knew people who worked there, and they held onto those jobs like drowning people cling to floating debris after a shipwreck.) The factory eventually closed.
There was a small cast iron foundry in that same small town. The neighbors complained about the smoke and soot from the smokestacks. The EPA imposed clean air regulations. Still the neighbors complained about the smoke and soot, and noise. People refused to work there because of low wages, and strenuous working conditions. The EPA imposed more clean air regulations. The owner brought in Arabs to work there for low wages, and the neighbors complained about the soot, smoke, and Arabs.
Then the foundry closed and moved twenty miles away and reopened, and everyone in the small town complained about high unemployment. Eventually a Walmart distribution center opened in the small town. And everyone complained about Walmarts low wages.

Trump had three (I think) companies go through bankruptcy, out of many many companies. But people act like Trump personally spent a bunch of money on himself, then screwed the guy that lent him the money. No.
People invest in a company to make a profit. If it is a bond they get paid higher interest based on risk. They know that money is a risk, and businesses fail even when well run, at times. "Bankruptcy" for business has different forms, but they mostly go through a court that controls where the remaining assets go, or grant protection to keep the business running till it can become profitable and pay in full.
None of those are just running up a tab on wine and women and flipping the bird to the creditors. GM's creditors got screwed by Obama intervening and rewarding his union thugs, whereas a bankruptcy judge would (surely) not have allowed that. But bankruptcy for business is the normal process when a business becomes unprofitable. It Happens.

I haven't seen one Trump supporter make this claim. The point I see most Trump supporters make is that you're going to get a candidate who ends up doing this anyway. And they've given ample evidence to suggest that yes, even Cruz will make deals.
They have a valid point and it might be more effective to address that rather than beat up the caricatures in your head. That's almost as bad as AmishDude's hyperventilating about Trump being too close to the red button.

If you want to debate, then answer the legitimate questions about
Trump with actual cogent answers. Not with attacks on Ted Cruz but with a
reasoned argument about Trump.
OK - and I much prefer Cruz - Trump is a business man - not a politician. His idea of a deal is very different than a political junkie's idea of a deal. He didn't become a billionaire by making deals that are good for the other side - he sold people on the idea of giving his side a good deal. He has been very successful at that kind of negotiation. When he talks about dealing with Pelosi and Reed he means giving them the short end of the stick while walking away with what he wants. This is opposed to the GOPe vision of a deal which is to give the Democrats the whole stick and walk away with the Democrats beating them with that stick as they retreat.
I hope that is the sort of analysis you wanted.

Speaking of pineapples...Found out recently that pineapples are used by swingers to let other swingers know who/where they are. Apparently a pineapple on your porch or mailbox or a pineapple flag is a welcome sign for them. Also, if you see someone with an upside down pineapple in their shopping cart, they are cruising for other swingers.
Just google swingers and pineapples!
(Also, be careful how your place your pineapple in your cart.)

Yeah. I have a bit of an interest in viruses. They haven't found the viruses in the mosquitoes but there are different types and the types that carry those sort of tropical diseases aren't supposed to be able to live that far north but they've found somewhere to hang out I guess. Maybe metro? Not sure. I don't know much about it beyond this conversation last night with someone in the field... Basically with DC having so many people traveling in out internationally it may only be a matter of time.

FFS, this is more of the same crap.
"Behold my strawman! Bask in his warmth as he burns so brightly!"
I haven't seen one Trump supporter make this claim. The point I see
most Trump supporters make is that you're going to get a candidate who
ends up doing this anyway. And they've given ample evidence to suggest
that yes, even Cruz will make deals.
They have a valid point and it might be more effective to address
that rather than beat up the caricatures in your head. That's almost as
bad as AmishDude's hyperventilating about Trump being too close to the
red button.
Puh-lease.

I have seen a number of commenters here claim that because Rubio "reached across the aisle" and worked with Schumer on amnesty, that this is a major disqualifying factor in Rubio's candidacy. So it is not a strawman at all.
This isn't about Rubio or Trump per se, but the glaring double standard. Rubio works with Schumer to propose a straightforward amnesty plan and that is the nail in the coffin for Rubio. Trump proposes convoluted "touchback amnesty" for illegals, and brags about wanting to work with Schumer, and suddenly that is dreamy.
I believe more and more that the hardcore Trump supporters really do want their own strongman/daddy figure who gives them Good Feelz as he punishes their enemies.

Absolutely. I've never seriously considered Trump myself as he's always given me more than slight trepidation. But I don't just reflexively bash him or his supporters. I've seen some pretty smart people endorse him for perfectly sound reasons. I may not agree with them, but I completely understand where they're coming from.
What I can't get on board with is trashing them because they hold a differing opinion than I do. I've learned quite a few things about some of Cruz's dealings from people who are at least sympathetic towards Trump.
At this point, the argument seems to be about packaging which would be important if the packages were substantially different. And overall, that's a pretty fvcking sad state of affairs.
Posted by: Burn the Witch at January 27, 2016 09:34 AM (Wckf4)
I'm not calling all Trump supporters stupid. They are not.
I am however very disappointed that so many otherwise right-thinking individuals have consciously decided to turn off all reason and intellect and let their anger and emotions dictate how they will vote.
The signs are obvious that Trump would be even a bigger squish than McCain and Romney put together, but because he gives people Good Feelz, then that makes it all right somehow.

What I found and started using was 4 Health brand dog food. No cereals no fillers and it is 100% grain free. Tractor Store has it but it isn't cheap. Less feeding required and a whole lot less poop to clean up.

What about Mrs Cruz's promotion from a portfolio manager to a regional VP within two months of Senator Cruz's election as a US Senator? I understand that she is a very smart cookie, very good at her job, but more so than the other guys and gals there? Her huge pay increase and bonuses could have paid off the loan lickety-split.

But it is precisely this kind of comment that, to me, disqualifies you from being taken seriously. Making your decision on who should be president based on gossip or innuendo or whatever flaky tin-foil hat wearin' stuff like this is, pardon the expression, cray-zee.

People invest in a company to make a profit. If it is a bond they get paid higher interest based on risk. They know that money is a risk, and businesses fail even when well run, at times. "Bankruptcy" for business has different forms, but they mostly go through a court that controls where the remaining assets go, or grant protection to keep the business running till it can become profitable and pay in full.
None of those are just running up a tab on wine and women and flipping the bird to the creditors. GM's creditors got screwed by Obama intervening and rewarding his union thugs, whereas a bankruptcy judge would (surely) not have allowed that. But bankruptcy for business is the normal process when a business becomes unprofitable. It Happens.

There are so many underground "cultures" that it's impossible to keep up. I remember years ago when a guy could indicate whether or not he was gay by wearing an earring in one ear (can't remember if it was left or right ear). Anyway, the guy earring trend exploded and blew up that whole code with it.

Cruz at least stated in that bill that illegals would not become citizens, which (if I have it right) was the deal killer. Trump stopping the illicit crossings is a huge start, but I'd like to hear him say the illegals that come back would not just be granted citizenship, but maybe some a temporary legal status after proper vetting. But just getting solid ID and the process itself will sort out a lot of problems.
But Trump seems to have sen Sessions in his corner, giving me more confidence. He will work deals with Democrats, but if we hold both houses, it will be on R terms. (unlike Obamacare with the jam job)

I have yet to hear of any business partner of Trump's coming out to say he screwed them. Even Ivana hasn't made a fuss.
I am not a fan of Trump, and I don't have a lot of information on his business practices, but I do say that it is really hard to do major building contracts and screw people over and not get a reputation for being a bad actor.
In government and Hollywood you can get away with being a depraved prick because the circle is so small and inbred, but major construction is a bit more open to scrutiny.
My objection to Trump is based on other things: you don't do major building contracts without dealing with scummy people with their hands out (*cough * unions * cough * permits departments * cough) and you don't get anything done without the understanding that there a metric shjtton of regulations and permitting designed to keep you from accomplishing anything.
So the basic thought process has to be "you and me are going to find a way to get around these laws" which I don't think is what we need in an executive right now.
I also am not convinced that Trump has human resources to staff and run a cabinet, and so act as the executive of the government, and I am not sure he has enough humility to take advice that differs from his opinion. That means in a crunch he has to rely on the current "experts" in the field, who are the very people who have gotten us to where we are today, or fly by the seat of his pants. Since his gut reaction appears to be to call anyone who disagrees with him as stupid, again I am not sure I am comfortable with his instincts.
I am aware that a lot of people disagree with me.

I am going to de-lurk for a moment and ask Lester, why do these conspiracy theories appeal to you? If you dislike Cruz's ideas or his previous stand on various issues, that is understandable and I can respect that.
But it is precisely this kind of comment that, to me, disqualifies you from being taken seriously. Making your decision on who should be president based on gossip or innuendo or whatever flaky tin-foil hat wearin' stuff like this is, pardon the expression, cray-zee.

Critical in a different way, though. No matter who wins - Cruz, Trump, Sanders, and possibly Hillary - something epochal in nature shifts.
Cruz and Trump both spell the end of the Conservative platform from about the time of WFB. Yes, Cruz too. He's an "outsider" as well as Trump and his election would end that coterie's dominance on the Right, to be replaced with ____ . Trump shifts both that and the GOP itself.
Sanders signals an end to democrats as Americans and begins democrats as out and out socialists.
All, btw, are Nationalists and populists to boot.
Hillary is a slightly different case: Her election signals the end of responsibility in government, a stamp of approval given to criminal enterprise. It would be a massive FU to half the nation at least, and likely start active persecutions on political grounds.

Three 1,700-year old funerary inscriptions referring to rabbis written in Aramaic and Greek were recently unearthed in Moshav Zippori, near the Western Galilee, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced on Wednesday.
The finding was made following a joint effort carried out by residents of the moshav, researchers from the Kinneret Institute for Galilean Archaeology of the Kinneret Academic College, and the IAA.
According to the IAA, two Aramaic inscriptions mention individuals referred to as rabbis, who were buried in the western cemetery of Zippori, although their names have yet to be deciphered.
The importance of the epitaphs lies in the fact that they reflect the everyday life of the Jews of Zippori and their cultural world, said Dr. Motti Aviam of the Kinneret Institute for Galilean Archaeology.
And the palis still deny the Jews existed before 1948

There are many people who are out of the Political system and don't vote because all they see is politicians as usual - Trump draws these people as a media figure they recognize - much as Ronald Reagan drew them.
Trump draws a much higher % of Democratic voters than any other Republican candidate.
Cruz would not be ahead of Jeb! if Trump had never been in the election, and the GOPe plan for getting their stooge nominated would be on course. The GOPe would defeat Cruz the way the GOPe always beats Conservatives; lots of money and back stabbing.
Reagan's unfavorable rating among Liberals was sky high - it didn't matter because he was likable - Trump has that same sort of likability among the LIVs - who are the most important voter group in the country; most everyone knows and likes you're fired.
I could go on - but the above raises the point that there are many reasonable arguments for Trump.

I think it is the exact opposite. Most CEOs are scrupulous about following the law in order to keep themselves out of jail. Those that don't eventually get caught. Trump has been in business for 40 years, if there was something there, it would be out by now.
As regards to the "expert" advice so far his instincts have been to go to the more conservative for it (i.e. Sessions). Not saying he will always do that but there's the example. Frankly, I hope he stocks his cabinet with a bunch of outsiders.

Having been an early adopter of Trump as Blunt Object, Cruz has succeeded in sealing the deal with me in the role of Best Potential President. This in no way changes my desire to see the GOP burn to the ground. I have come to support Cruz despite his membership in that corrupt organization, in no way because of it.
I am aware of the questions regarding Cruz, have assessed them, and find in them insufficient merit to preclude supporting him. This does not mean I have dropped my wish to see Trump discontinue his role as Irritant to the Mighty and Shifter of the Overton Window, just that I do not see him as the best available candidate for the Presidency.
For the moment, that's the end of it for me. Replies and rebuttals will be ruthlessly ignored. I now return you to your irregularly scheduled flamewar, already in progress.

I believe more and more that the hardcore Trump supporters really do want their own strongman/daddy figure who gives them Good Feelz as he punishes their enemies.
**shrugs**
I'll admit to that.
As evidenced by Scankles' continuing ability to walk free and Lois Lerner not restricted to saltwater and cockroach pate for the rest of her days, we now live in a post-Constitutional society. And with the by-our-"betters"-welcomed influx of third world trash, as well as the complete infestation of the public educational system by socialist / communist / fascist fellow travelers, we have no hope of raising future generations of Americans who respect the Founders and who can articulate the philosophical foundations of our freedom.
I like Cruz. But his avowed fidelity to the Constitution means that he would not follow the dog-eating crackhead's practice of ramming shit down the electorate's throat by means of executive orders. He would attempt to govern within a framework that has been hollowed out and has been actively undermined by the entrenched political class.
So I am left with a faint hope that a petulant, angry President Trump would EO the left into a foaming rage. I do want my own dictator now.
Because, after eight years of untrammeled Democrat power and supine Republican acquiescence, short of (in my opinion, a long overdue) Reign Of Terror, I want revenge.

How do you tax people who are paid in unreported cash and send money out of the country via Western Union?
I agree with the frustration, however, I'm not willing to give the Federal government any more free license than to regulate private business and seize cash and personal property than it has already taken.
The immigration problem is very simple to solve and does not involve making more laws. Simply enforce the laws already on the books and stop giving out free stuff.
This wasn't an issue in the Ellis Island days. To come into the U.S., you had to validate that you could support yourself or someone here was going to support you... that was not the government... and go through health exams and integration classes at your own cost.
As far as work permits and visas: I could care less. No one is entitled to a job. Unions, the education system, and the overwhelming sense of entitlement has caused a generation of special snowflakes to price themselves out of the market and driven jobs out of the country, not businesses.
If Disney wants to pay for a crap ton of people to come here and earn a living who are willing to work and accept a rate of pay that their job is worth rather than what some college recruiter told them that their masters degree in 18th Century Women's Studies or Political Science is supposed to be worth, I'm all for it. Stop government funding of education, both directly and indirectly though grants, loans, etc. and this problem will self correct in minutes along with making education more affordable and accessible. No one needs 2 degrees and 8 certifications to wear a costume, sweep floors, fix stuff, or make stuff. All they need is to simply be willing to work and stop believing that they are entitled to be the the next Kardashian.

I had a mad crush on Teddy Roosevelt a few years ago. Read all of the biographies. You can argue that we was the first strong-form President, the first to use the bully pulpit to elevate the presidency above the other branches.
I'm instinctively a separation of powers guy, checks and balances, don't let the executive get out of control. But then TR kept getting awesomer and awesomer and the strong presidency started looking good.
Then of course it went to his head and he decided his way was best for everything, including changing the spelling of the entire English language.

It most certainly is true. He only lost money on his first bankruptcy when he personally guaranteed deals. Since then, he has structured all his deals in such a way that his company, but not him personally, is on the line. The next 3 didn't touch him personally at all.

1/6 of the rice stuff and about 1/6 of the deboned chicken -- the dog eats at supper time with us.
EXCELLENT food, happy and healthy dog.
I do that every 6 days, but I'm retired.
This is the "Dynovite" home cooked recipe, except the vitamins I get from the vet are way cheaper.
Total cost is about $2.00 per day.

That could be true, however-
Nate Silver was one of the founders of Journolist.
And one, who absolutely wouldn't release his emails.
He tarred his own reputation with the "Democrat hack operative" brush -
so IMHO his numbers, esp. in the early going should always be ignored.
Later on, like right before the election in Nov, he might actually publish real data to keep his reputation such as it is-
because he can always say "the numbers shifted" no matter what he has published.
Just my opinion.
But, for me Nate Silver is a pure D-hack.
YMMV.

How do you do the funding when you build a subdivision or put three houses on a couple of acres so you can sell them to guarantee your retirement?

I'm not a Trump hater and if he gets the nod I will definitely pull the lever for him. I was simply responding to the claim that Trump takes risks unlike politicians.
Living in the northeast most of my life and around NYC for a good part of it, Trump was always around. He was like a force or nature for good or bad. I've watched Trump for a long, long time.
What I do find amazing, particularly after last cycle when I was excoriated pretty much 7 x 24 for supporting Romney (we had yet to become the kinder, gentler blog we are today) because he flip flopped and became pro-life, is the sheer number of people who say I don't care that Trump has changed virtually every position he held, some as recently as the beginning of last year, and just flat refuse to deal with his record at all.
Like it or not, the next president is going to have to deal with a lot of tough issues, not just illegals where I am still not convinced by Trump. Of course he would be better than Hillary or Bernie but that is one nightly low bar.

I haven't changed my basic viewpoints for about the last 10 or 15 years (I'm 6
.
I don't know anybody over the age of 60 who does that that actually had a viewpoint to begin with.

But people---respected people here get squeamish about the hard, nasty tone of trying turn back almost 30 years of leftward, anti-American, impoverishing, hateful leftist rule and influence in society and government.
It will be nasty , mean, and brutal IF--the biggest of 'Ifs', there is measurable progress back toward Constitutional government. prosperity and National security.
Trump can be be beyond a total bore but his 'tone' is unavoidable in some form or fashion if you are in it to win the political/cultural war.

Later on, like right before the election in Nov, he might actually publish real data to keep his reputation such as it is-
because he can always say "the numbers shifted" no matter what he has published.
Just my opinion.
But, for me Nate Silver is a pure D-hack.
-----------------------------------------------
He says he wasn't a "founder" of Journolist. He was invited to join well after it's founding, and he speculates the Daily Caller (who has the complete thread record from the listserve never published his stuff because he says it mostly duplicates his public statements or blog posts, or it was innocuous.
He is a lifelong Democrat (could he be anything else coming from Madison, WI?), he was a huge supporter of ObamaCare (like the Trumpster), and he has said all of that and more publicly.
http://53eig.ht/1ny4fTQ
While I agree several of the writers at his site are Democrat hacks (and sort of superficial, even a little silly, starry-eyed hacks at that) I don't think any evidence exists that these attitudes leak into their polling analysis at all.
Like you maybe, I followed him closely in the last several elections (in 2012 especially, mostly because I disagreed with his conclusions on Romney being about to lose), and I'd say- since he was right all along - the hack there was me, not him. You too, I'll bet.

Agreed. Sadly, there's little reason to believe any of them.
Within the last two years, Rubio has been playing games with speeches and Cruz did the stunt with the teddy bears.
Do we have reason to believe that any of these people aren't going to become the next Mitch the bitch?
In fairness, Cruz actually fought Mitch.

around and take them back."
And, by the by, how did the Democratic Congress accomplish this, as it ran directly contrary to the expressed will and order of a wartime President? How was their refusal structured?
Via the "power of the purse". And the President bent to their will.
Not saying that the ends in this case were good ones -- it was a case of Democrats worrying that a Republican President might successfully conclude a previously failing war started by two Democrats. Public policy by tantrum. No, the lesson here is not about the ends, but about the _means_, and the sheer power of those means to bring Presidents to heel.
However, the spineless, gutless and brainless Beltway GOP have consistently refused to employ those same mechanisms against this President. Now they're about to reap the whirlwind from their furious base. Trump the Destructor. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms.

It's a cosmic joke that feminists worship babykilling/baby-preventing drugs as a way to create a more women's rights, dominance in the workforce, etc,., and yet this very thing is what is driving the mass immigration of child-bearing third-worlders into Europe and US, who are then changing the culture to be very anti-woman (worse than it was even in the "scary" chauvinistic 1950's).

out over their refusal to drop Megyn Kelly. I think Megyn Kelly did a
hit piece on Trump during that so-called debate based on everything I
have heard about it (since I can no longer get Fox). They are clearly in
the wrong here and these debates have not been debates for decades.
Everyone that I have seen has been nothing but an opportunity for
liberal and Democrat biased news turds to do hit pieces on Republicans.
In fact for the past several years I have recommended that Republicans
find another venue to do these debates or get moderators who are not
news people.

If I had to guess it's because Megyn was gunning for him in the 1st debate with her first questions being a version of "Why do you hate women?" (apparently Megyn bragged about how she would be taking out a candidate on twitter beforehand) and she has been very anti-Trump on her show since then.
Trump likes to get in tiffs with other celebrities (see: Rosie O'Donell), and this seems to be one of his latest tiffs. Think this is sport for him.

Did he?
IIRC, after he voted for TPA -- which led directly to TPP, that Choom Boy-inspired killer of more American jobs -- Cruz stood up and whinged that Bitch bamboozled and hornswoggled him.
Which is not the major reason I dislike Cruz. I suppose one could even excuse him for heading off to raise funds while the Senate gave the Mocha Messiah authority for Iran's nukes, though I can't see how.
The main beef about Cruz is that as recently as two years ago, he had what I can only see as divided loyalty, holding both Canadian and American citizenship.

also just searching for a name is going to give you potentially thousands of hits because you are getting all the posts they have commented on.

I am a shoe person and I rarely pay over $50 for shoes because I'm a good bargain hunter.
Grammie Winger, since you're in Wisconsin, this might be useful info for you: Boston Store yellow dot sales - you can get good quality shoes ( Clarks, Anne Klein, Joan and David, Nine West, Laura Ashley) at up to 75-80% the sale price. If you also have a Boston Store coupon, the prices can be really ridiculously low. The one I love is at Brookfield, where they have a whole roomful of yellow dot shoes. Last time I was there, I got 3 pairs of Anne Klein sandals for $12.
You're paying close to Goodwill prices for brand name new shoes.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday called on the United Nations Security Council to issue a resolution condemning settlements.
Abbas said that the resolution should also call for providing international protection for the Palestinians.
Abbas said in a radio interview that the basic condition for achieving peace lies in the principle that Palestinians restore their lands on the 1967 borders.
The Palestinians, he added, want to resume the peace process and reach a solution with Israel, but only on condition that it implements 20 agreements that were signed since the Oslo Accords.
Abbas said that another condition is the release of the fourth group of prisoners incarcerated before the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993. The prisoners were supposed to be released in 2014 in accordance with understandings reached between the PA and Israel under the auspices of US Secretary of State John Kerry.

Again...Nate Silver didn't release his emails.
So, if you want to trust a guy who went explicitly and of his own free will against the ethics of his profession, please by all means do.
As for me...Nope.
And this has nothing to do with me being a political hack-
this has to do with me wanting quality information.
And he wasn't all that accurate, if memory serves, in the beginning of the last electoral cycle-
where the temptation to fudge the numbers, for a guy who's already proven to be an unreliable hack, might be just too strong.
He was accurate later in the game.
But, by then one can always say, "the numbers changed" to try to keep one's reputation (such as it is).
Just my opinion and, of course, you are free to believe the words of a proven liar and hack.
As a side note: This is why Rubio is an absolute no go for me.

I think the riff with Kelly is a personal one. For the past five years, Trump has guested on various Fox News shows many many times. He used to call in to F&F once or twice a week before he decided to run for Pres. He was constantly on one show or another, and I believe he was on Kelly's show numerous times, as was he on Greta and Hannity.
Then came the "debate" and right out of the gate, Kelly started off the questioning of Trump with this long diatribe about Trump being a womanizer, making fun of women, etc. before she finally got around to the question, and as Trump noted, with a gleam in her eye and a "I'll take you down asshole" attitude.
And Trump didn't take kindly to it and the war was on.
This is more about putting Kelly back in her place as far as Trump is concerned and possible payback for setting him up, than anything else.

And that Fox is employing dem activists to attack at least one of the candidates at a stupid party debate. While dem donors get to run the dem debates.
But little mikey moore gave the proceedings His blessing, so it must be downright upright.
meanwhile, the clowncar realizes that this shit sandwich will have:
1. Lower ratings.
2. One less target besides them.
3. Trump might actually be seen as being the smart one for dodging the whole soggy mess. because they stayed there like good little drones while Trump said F this. Which is exactly what Rand Paul did when the MFM tried hitting him with a piece of filth they wouldn't dare approach Empress mommom with.
Which appearance would appeal to a repumpkin primary voter? Being the bitch og Megyn and at least two dem activists or being with wounded veterans.
We may never know.

him in the 1st debate with her first questions being a version of "Why
do you hate women?" (apparently Megyn bragged about how she would be
taking out a candidate on twitter beforehand) and she has been very
anti-Trump on her show since then.
Trump likes to get in tiffs with
other celebrities (see: Rosie O'Donell), and this seems to be one of his
latest tiffs. Think this is sport for him.
*Caveat: yes, Trump may also be using it as a cover to avoid another debate w/Cruz so close to the Iowa primary.

Was on my honeymoon in Nevis. Hubby, who loves deep-sea fishing, chartered a fishing boat to take us out for the morning. I get seasick almost immediately, so they drop me off and I taxi back to resort. Scheduled driver who dropped us off arrived for pick up and freaks out that I am not there --- insists that hubby show me to him when they get to the resort. We laughed because the optics never occurred to us, but offing a hated spouse sure would be easy while traveling in a faraway, tropical place...Kinda like those "oopsie, overboard!" accidents on cruise ships.

Oh BS... there is no indication whatsoever that Cruz even knew about the Canadian citizenship until 2013 when a Dallas newspaper sought out information from Canadian law experts. Cruz certainly never used Canadian citizenship for any benefit so it is not at all immediately obvious that he knew about Canadian citizenship and did not do anything about it because it wasn't "expedient".

Trump, on the other hand is a cipher and a mirror that his supporters are using to reflect back what they want to see in him instead of what is actually there.

I don't really understand that story either. The couple had walked half a mile through the jungle to get to this remote beach. The husband knew how far away help was. There were two of them, and one of the attacker, and the attacker wasn't very big (from the photo of him). Why leave the wife alone with him when the husband knew how far they were from help? Why not pick up something (a rock, a branch, whatever was handy) and whack the attacker over the head? Leaving the wife alone with him to fend for herself was crazy.

That story you folks are talking about is vastly different what was originally reported and I linked to yesterday. It said she was stabbed with a cutlass while walking with her husband. The husband was able to escape.

Now I know that these "debates" aren't really debates, but Trump is well within protocol to pick and choose moderators in agreement with the others and if he (or any of the others) can't agree with the moderator he is well within his debating "rights" to not debate.

If the debate is hosted by a news service the news picks the moderator.
And the reason Trump is skipping the debate is because Fox refused to drop Kelly. And she really did go after him with a truckload of malice. We know that all of the news services are Democrats and hate Republicans and generally slant their stuff against Republicans but she went further than even Candy Crowley went after Gingrich who also stomped back at her.
Not only was this not called for in a "moderator" but it was also unprofessional. If I had been her boss I would have fired her after that show. And I don't even like Trump.

Yep, and this gets back to questioning the purpose/goals of these debates.
Completely diff behavior in GOP vs. Dem debates, and there has been a trend in asking inflammatory questions to get the candidates to fight, or to create great gotcha moments to goose ratings. As a voter, I see no value in questions such as, "Rand Paul, Trump has said X, do you think he has the temperament to have his finger on the button?"
Think Kelly and Fox were looking at it as an opportunity to bring attention to Fox personalities, as well as take a stab at taking out candidates, which is standard MSM behavior every 4 years (see: Wash Post "scandal" story about Romney's HS haircutting story).

I agree!! Here, I'll start:
INGREDIENTS
1 (5- to 6-lb) dog
2 cups boiling-hot water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
PREPARATION
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
If necessary, cut off paws with shears or a sharp knife. Remove and discard excess fat from body cavity and neck, then rinse dog inside and out. Prick skin all over with a sharp fork. Fold neck skin under body, then put dog, breast side up, on a rack in a 13- by 9- by 3-inch roasting pan and pour boiling-hot water over dog (to tighten skin). Cool dog, then pour out any water from cavity into pan. Pat dog dry inside and out, reserving water in pan, then rub dog inside and out with kosher salt and pepper.
Roast dog, breast side up, 45 minutes, then remove from oven. Turn dog over using 2 wooden spoons, and roast 45 minutes more. Turn dog over again (breast side up), tilting dog to drain any liquid from cavity into pan. Continue to roast dog until skin is brown and crisp, about 45 minutes more (total roasting time: about 2 1/4 hours). Tilt dog to drain any more liquid from cavity into pan. Transfer dog to a cutting board and let stand 15 minutes before carving. Discard liquid in roasting pan.

Indonesia did not recognize dual citizenship at the time Obama became a naturalized citizen. He would have had to formally surrender his prior allegiances to do so.
If someone has natural-born U.S. citizenship and they give it up, they're not eligible to be President any longer.

Hot Air, don't judge me, this thread smells like ass, has a pretty funny thread from the 2011 cycle with Trump doing an interview with Kelly. Oddly, he is very complimentary of her and says she is an excellent debate moderator.
He also some interesting things to say about candidates who duck debates.

It's the fucking primaries! This is the way it's always been as long as I can remember the American political process. Just for giggles, go back and check the threads during the last prez primary. Check the news stories.
Better yet, get on the Internet and check out the newspaper editorials of the primaries in the 50's and 60's. You'll all see that nothing has changed as far as emotions towards certain candidates running for office.
Some of you need to get some perspective.

Why is Trump the only one willing to do this sort of thing?
GOP candidates should all be willing to walk if they aren't happy with a debate set-up, and gawd knows there have been some sweet set-ups for Dems, such as long-time Obama friend Martha Radditz moderating the VP debate, or Gwen Ifill moderating a 2008 debate when she had a book about how revolutionary an Obama win would be all set to publish.
For me, this is what makes Trump tolerable. Still not my first choice, but d@mn the dude is treating the media like a boss after witnessing Republicans roll over for a hostile media.

Excellent question. In general I would prefer a governor, but all the governors I liked dropped out, and I would as soon vote for Trump as I would jeb, which is to say I wouldn't vote for him.
Cruz served as Solicitor General of TX and argued 9 cases before SCOTUS, winning 5. He must have done pretty well running that office. He was also director of policy for the FTC, and the people who worked for him speak highly of him.
I hung out one evening with lower level members of his senate campaign staff, and found them to be hard working and down to earth, and very loyal to Cruz. This was at an early get to know you event for Cruz, and I deliberately spent time evaluating his staff because I know quality of staff is critical.
Cruz himself was very down to earth and easy to talk to also.

I don't watch Fox much and don't give a crap about them. I think Kelly did take a cheap shot at Trump in the debate.
However, then we have Trump tweeting this morning that Kelly is a bimbo, in a chickenshit passive aggressive way.
Why doesn't he just call her the c-word and be done with it? Why not? He's made of fun of a disabled guy's disability, but I know he can push the envelope farther.
I wouldn't advocate "C." I'd reserve that for truly rancid MFM propagandists like Candy Crowley. But AFAIC, Kelly deserves every bit of crap Teh Donald throws at her. She came right out of the gate with a smirking, sneering question that had nothing to do with policy and everything to do with shilling for the establishment. She outed herself, at that moment, as a bimbo and not a moderator worth listening to.
The one thing Trump seems to get is a very basic fact: the media is the enemy. Even Fox. Fuck their sadz.

The guy on Outnumbered is the Iraq and Afghanistan vet who routinely does Veteran stories, etc. He's managing to keep his eyes off of Tantaros crotch, which has 1-2 inches of dress material covering it.
The channel has become one big joke. I feel sorry for the serious journalist that remain on that channel, such as Catherine Harris, etc. Or any other female journalist wanting to work there, who doesn't have big boobs, long legs, and huge hair, willing to dress like a slut for viewership.

It is also against the RNC rules I think. No side debates without RNC butting in. And where is the RNC in this fiasco? Hiding under the bed? Waiting for Trump to stomp in and scream "You're fired!" I hate to say this but Cruz is the loser in this as he is the best debater and needs this debate. I think Trump is partly doing this to stomp Cruz in his best venue at the worst possible timing for Cruz.

He said the media controls these events and Trump is perfectly intelligent for choosing to not put himself in a situation where the media can take full aim at him.
He said, "Trump is not running against Megyn Kelly or Brit Hume". Why should he have to debate them instead of the candidates he's actually running against.

Maybe. There's a lot of venom on Dem sites between the supporters just like here but you are probably right that typical Dem voters will rally behind the nominee just like most of us will.
I don't think either one of them gives tingles to indie voters like Obama did. At least Obama was smart enough to pretend he wasn't a batshit crazy socialist. Bernie brags about it.
