Donald Trump’s distinctive rhetorical style — think of a drunk with a bullhorn reading aloud James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake under water — poses an almost insuperable challenge to people whose painful duty is to try to extract clarity from his effusions. For example, last week, during a long stream of semi-consciousness in Fort Worth, this man who as president would nominate members of the federal judiciary vowed to “open up” libel laws to make it easier to sue — to intimidate and punish — people who write “negative” things. Well. Trump, the thin-skinned tough guy, resembles a campus crybaby who has wandered out of his “safe space.”
Trump is a presidential aspirant who would flunk an eighth-grade civics exam. More than anything Marco Rubio said about Trump in Houston, it was Rubio’s laughter at Trump that galled the perhaps bogus billionaire. Like all bullies, Trump is a coward, and like all those who feel the need to boast about being strong and tough, he is neither....

I used to love it as well, learned a lot from it. But it can’t just be a drawing room intellectual exercise. It’s about saving a country at this point.
I guess he was good on recycling and he had some ideas about energy conservation.
Ross Perot was against NAFTA, and after 30 years of this “conservative” trade deal, the US is owned by China. On hindsight, I wish I would have voted for Perot.
If his ONLY campaign promise is to BURN THE CURRENT PARTY SYSTEM TO THE GROUND, HE’D GET MY FULL SUPPORT, Here’s why:

See if you can get one of your literate friends — if you have any — to read these to you!
You know what? I agree with you.
I noticed that George Will is comparing Trump to Huey Long. Good luck with that. There may be 12 people in the country, not in academia, who would understand the reference. That is an indicator of how separated from the average voter Will and his co-conspirators are.
I supposed the TDS sufferers will soon run out of historical villains to compare Trump to. That is not saying, of course, that Huey Long was a villain. But I can certainly understand how he would cause Will to get his pantys in a wad.
We have had 17 candidates and Trump has been the front-runner from almost when he entered the race. Nationally, no one has been within 10 points of him, yet half of the GOP won’t vote for him if he is the nominee against Hillary? Nonsense. If that is the case, time to form a new party.
‘Not Insane
Buffoon for President’
ahahahah. standing with George Will are ya? Go to hell!
So you want elected officials deciding what’s accurate or not? What government agency should we set up to enforce this? You point England as an example we should follow? What happens to a reporter in England who writes ill warning of the dangers of Islam? Or Homosexuality? They risk fines or jail. No thanks. I want the government out of regulating speech. The press’s abusive biasness and irresponsible reporting has been picked up by the American people and they are shutting them off in droves. CAIR also has stated that free speech doesn’t cover irresponsible speech. Translated means they want to silence speech they don’t like
The arguments you’re making are the same the left uses in arguing for the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine in order to silence opposition
Yes lets don’t forget Rich and Mark Theisson.
You said..
“You haven’t read the case have you? Because had you, you wouldn’t have posted such an uneducated response. What Trump is saying and what Scalia said are the exact same thing, there are no restraints now, the media has become the 5th column of the government establishment, doing the bidding of the establishment.”
I read it. I disagree. Read my reply to another why I oppose this. Scalia assumed people don’t have egos. I don’t want government deciding what’s responsible speech and what isn’t. You like it because you see enemies being punished. And you’ll find no supporters of the NYTs here. But you’re making the same arguments that the left use when pushing for bringing the Fairness Doctrine back
But, the wall! Think about the WALL!
I admit that I had to look that one up.
Excuse me there you go again. You are the only one who can have read and researched the man. You are the only one who is able to put the pieces together to know who he is. There is one inescapable conclusion based on research and it is yours...In one word Faugh!
I have done my due diligence and my firm, inescapable conclusion is Trump 2016. We may yet save this country that I love and that brave men & women have died to protect.
I feel that people that espouse the views you have delineated care more about the game than the country. There was no hope for change before Trump stepped up to the plate, took the heat and told our hidden truths.
The Globalists are feasting on America, carving her up to build their empires. The press lies to us, politicians give us lip service and Kabuki theater while they encourage an illegal invasion overwhelming our social service network, robbing, raping, killing our natives, bringing disease, organized crime and drugs. The illegals and the politically correct are destroying the fabric of our society while the Uniparty players are trying to pass treaties to undermine our sovereignty. Trying the same old solutions is a way to fiddle while America burns.
Warts & all Thank God for Trump.

Well, it’s still a few hours too early to begin counting chickens, but just as a little payback to the obnoxious cruztys, I think your little taunt is perfectly in order. :-)
Obamacare is Romneycare. If Obama was never elected and if Clinton was never elected and we had McCain and Romeny we would have Obamacare under a different name. There is no difference to the two parties.
