Donald Trump could do it.
Correct
I wish Ben Carson would hit some black churches and talk about his faith and his childhood.
You never know what could happen.
What is so impossible to believe about Hitlary imploding? I predicted this over two years ago with certainty to anybody who would listen (and they all called me crazy). The second part of this prophecy is that somebody (my pick Fauxcahontis) would rise up out of the ashes, and the media would go into light speed to whip up a fauxcahontis savior of the world frenzy like you have never seen nor believed. I think at least half of part two will happen, but I am less sure the savior will be SpreadingBull, though I still believe her perfectly timed appearance will happen with 70%
I think we can say with certainty that 2016 will probably go down as one of the most interesting presidential races in American history.
He went on to say, "Who the he*l would assassinate me with Biden in the wings?".
they all called ME crazy too...
But I showed ‘em.
I SHOWED ‘EM ALL~!!
Yellow Dog Democrats which deserted the Democratic party in droves after the 1968 commie takeover of the Democratic convention only vote when there is a “strong” alternative on the ballot. They came out for Nixon, and Reagan and gave them vote massive landslides. They seem to be attracted to strong personalities with strong opinions, even if they don't agree with all of them.
I think this is where Trump is getting a lot of his support and if true it spells doom for the others in the primary and for any Democrat in the general, because polls wont accurately reflect how strong Trump is, if he is attracting voting who don't usually vote and/or are not even registered to vote.
Just as with the "Marsha" Coakley - Scott Brown race, the bruthas won't turn out for an icy white b*tch.
I think the fix is in for Liawatha - she will run as Biden’s VP, with a one term promise from Biden.
It is too bad that in this article he does not come out with real data to answer the question which perennially plagues the Republican Party, whether we lose because we have not loosened up enough to entice the mushy middle or do we lose because we haven't tightened up enough to energize our muscular base?
We conservatives have argued ever since Ronald Reagan walked off with two of the greatest landslides ever that the Republican Party was throwing away its birthright when it despises its own conservative base. Since then we have lost the popular vote in national election after national election, as I recall five of the last six of them, and every time we have sought to accommodate moderates.
Many conservatives are energized by Donald Trump believing that he is a muscular conservative. It is clear that he is robust but it is not clear that he is a conservative. It seems to be clear that that his candidacy, whether intentionally or not, will strike a blow at the Republican establishment who have given us accommodationists ever since Ronald Reagan. But it is not clear that Trump is a conservative nor is it clear that he will govern as a conservative in the unlikely event that he captures both the nomination and the election.
It it is not clear whether Trump will energize the base sufficiently to overcome the amount of Democrats he is no doubt energizing or independents , especially women, whom he might be offending? That is not by way of an assertion that is by way of a question, hence the ?.
Nor is it clear whether Trump will garner enough Reagan Democrats, blue-collar workers especially, in the rust belt, and the coal industry, other middle-class people displaced by immigrants, to compensate for any losses he might generate elsewhere. It is entirely possible that even while Donald Trump wrecks the Republican Party (I can dream can't I?) he might at the same time be creating a whole new coalition reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's brilliant and unstoppable force. That is something to contemplate before breakfast.
I think we have to be very careful about being drawn up in an enthusiastic rush for Donald Trump because he generates enthusiasm within our conservative community. We have to be careful about projecting our perception of the world onto people who do not live and breathe politics. We have to be especially careful about projecting our values onto females who get their politics from the pages of Cosmopolitan magazine.
Michael Barone is opening a whole lot of options for us to ponder some of which might just not be impossible.
Two impossible but beneficial things to hope for.
Both BigEars and slow Joe resign...today.
Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame
,Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
That would be the best thing that could happen, but than wouldn’t Nancy Piglosi be in line? I know she’s not speaker of the House, but used to be
Pray ... have FAITH in answered Prayer
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!
VOTE for the candidate that comes nearest to the principles we hold dear and PRAY without ceasing, in all we do.
Be ready, take part in the process, as do we all.
AMERICA needs prayer and repentance.
It is interesting that the people currently leading in both primaries aren’t really members of the party they’re trying to represent next November. Clearly the mushy middle is tired of both sides.
“White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said he “wouldn’t rule out the possibility of an endorsement” in the primary and added that “no one in American politics today” knows more about running for president than Biden and that Obama considered his Biden VP pick as “the smartest decision that he has ever made in politics.” Hmm.”
Yes, it was a smart decision to have an incompetent moron as VP because it was protection against impeachment!
I’m hoping that Biden jumps in, Hillary gets charged, and she goes nuclear on Obama by leaking a bunch of emails he sent her.
I want the Democrat party destroyed.
