I wondered what happened to ol’ Toure. Did he just get out of jail?


He’s got a lot of time on his hands since “The Cycle” went the way of “The Ed Schultz Show” and whatever the other one was that recently was cancelled. The viewership dropped below the threshold of 10 and they pulled the plug.

Saw the author’s name, read the first paragraph where he quoted “Jon” Capehart, and skipped the rest.

Trump...right now, is just plain fun. Watching him demolish the mediots who fancy themselves as smarter than most is delicious.

Whether that translates to votes is anybody’s guess. And they are exactly that, guesses

remember in 1980 they said the same thing about Reagan. NOBODY will every really vote for him.

in 1984 NOBODY will ever vote for him AGAIN!

(see Obama but that involved serious fraud)

“Yet despite having the real freedom to say whatever he pleases, Trump hasn’t got a serious thought in his head.”

The kind of thing they said about Reagan.

VICE (the source for this piece) has no authorship ... it just is

So anyone can say anything and they publish it

Americans are told that their country is a democracy—in reality, though, what the United States has is, at best, a weak democracy, in which the establishment elite exercise an outsize amount of power, while the masses are made to think they have a large say. And in a game controlled by political elites who care deeply about electability, Trump has no chance.

But for the last sentence, this could have been said by Trump himself. Toure has stumbled on the truth somehow, some way.

Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Trey Goudy? There must be others.

The real reason Trump may become president, he is the only one who has demonstrated he will actually fire someone for being a moron or generally not doing their job.

I am a Cruz supporter, but I tell you this is the reason he surged in the polls and remains a leader.

If he realizes this is his power, he could be unstoppable regardless of some unpopular positions and comments.

It just doesn't seem real. Trump is a candidate more boorish, more buffoonish, more rude, vapid, and self-righteous than any who has ever sat atop the polls. As the Washington Post's Jon Capehart tweeted recently, "The 2012 Republican presidential field was derided as a clown car. The 2016 car is being driven by the clown."

Where has this guy Toure been the last 6 years?
In a coma?

That perfectly describes the "American African" from Chicago and his circus of African clowns...

“”Trump is a candidate more boorish, more buffoonish, more rude, vapid, and self-righteous””

sadly, this is how America falls, both parties are run by fools and elect thieves and idiots

Never say never. After 9/11 who’d have thought we’d have a Hussein in the WH?

Trump's credentials get stronger as "all the right enemies" keep piling on. I can't wait until the first quarter of next year as I believe it will be the first time we get a more accurate look at how things are shaking out and Cruz will have had time for his game plan to be more fully executed and bearing better fruit - until then, Cruz gets my money and I expect I will be inclined to up the ante to help him traverse the 6-7 months leading to the elections...

GO CRUZ!!!

Now I don’t know what exactly Trump supporters are rallying behind. Perhaps it’s some combination of persona, bluster, wealth, plus a lack of filter, a rejection of government, a rejection of traditional politicking, and the supposedly angry id of the far right. But it’s certainly not his positions on the issues—Trump has no serious policy positions. The man seems allergic to specifics. Does he really want to build a literal wall between the US and Mexico? Is that a serious idea? On the question of how to deal with ISIS, he’s said when he’s president, “They’re gonna be in so much trouble.” OK. How? Why? When? What?!?


Why are people rallying around Trump? If I had to make an educated guess I would have to say because he IS NOT a politician. And so far he is NOT begging/dunning for donations to fund his campaign.

Those are very powerful characteristics today in an electorate that has been bled nearly dry by the death of a thousand cuts from politicians who say they represent us and our ideals.

I hope I am. I hope you’re right. Collecting every single email, phone call, medical procedure.. He has dirt on everyone. Easy to blackmail and bribe.
