I wonder how many more time capsule bombs he has salted around. These political mediocrities cannot recognize how far ahead of them he is.

Exactly. And don’t forget that if he wins the nomination and faces Hillary, she voted FOR the war in Iraq!

““I really am convinced we’re in danger of the sort of terrorist attacks that will make the bombing of the Trade Center look like kids playing with firecrackers,” wrote Trump in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve. “No sensible analyst rejects this possibility, and plenty of them, like me, are not wondering if but when it will happen.””

Was that before or after she voted against it?

Never forget, President Bush gave the 'RATS two chances to vote on the war.

You remember President Bush, don't you? He's the one who is BFF with a rapist/serial sexual predator named Bill Clinton but who despises Ted Cruz.

Thx for the ping.

I just watched this video 5 minutes ago and find this topic to be earth shattering (as proof of brilliance for Trump and a death knell for Jeb).

I am on the fence about Trump. Like a lot of it, but have concerns. This is practically a home run for his campaign. It shows a level of understanding and competence completely void in the political world for the past 2+ decades.

Mourning Joe and MSDNC the first MSM outlet to discover this? At least they gave the original author credit.

“Donald Trump wrote about a large-scale terror attack in the U.S. in his 2000 book ‘The America We Deserve.’ BuzzFeed recently dug up the passage, and the Morning Joe panel discusses.”

FNC, CNN do you have any staff researching things anymore? Or did you intentionally bury the story?

Trump is doing something very subtle here in a not so subtle way. After eight years of dragging this country down what are the demand going to run on? Their debate showed a lot of fairy dust and unicorn promises is all they have. What they also could have, however, is a gift from Republicans. Namely, if Jeb Bush is the nominee they could have the “blame Bush” agenda washed anew!!!

Trump, by bringing up 9/11 has brought that to the forefront in Republican voters minds. Bush the nominee means a defensive campaign from day one.

I was on the fence early on too but finally made the leap after reading two of his books.

We will probably never have the chance again to vote for someone who can and will fund their own campaign and destroy the GOPe in the process.

Agreed. But I just heard on Fox that all the donors will be going to Rubio (& Meg Kelly had smiley Rubio on her show last night) and I heard Romney say that Trump WILL NOT be the GOP candidate. It was scary the way Romney said it as factual. I remember reading that “winner takes all” ie the primaries. GOPe has set it up so that Trump can’t win? In spite of all this, I think Trump knows HOW to win.

The panel talks about this putting Bush on the defense now.

Because of this he can’t escape his last name, he can’t discuss his record in Florida, and he can’t discuss his future plans.

Prescient? Or somebody sent back through a wormhole to the past giving this inside information to The Donald?

The Donald seems to know almost TOO much about the course of future events. But then, most anybody, by a careful reading of the past, can make a pretty educated guess as to what is coming down the road.

What we have in the Washington elite now, is an adamant refusal to recognize that what has occurred in the past shall very likely happen again in the future, and that the road signs are all quite clear for those who shall take the time to even READ them, and respond accordingly.

History does repeat itself. Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to this repetition.

It gets tiresome.

When the GOP set up the primaries they didn’t count on Trump.

It may turn out that the winner take all primaries bite them in the butt and help Trump.

It is the proportional primaries that could hurt Trump and the fact that the GOP changed it to a must win of 8 primary states.

Was watching a segment (perhaps with Eugene Robinson or ?)
when they spoke about Benghazi and said that the “video” was the reason for the “attack”.

Anyone else catch that?

Joe Klein Blames Benghazi Deaths on CIA: ‘Those Guys Should Be Able to Protect Themselves’

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/mark-finkelstein/2015/10/20/joe-klein-clears-hillary-benghazi-cia-should-be-able-protect

JOE SCARBOROUGH: So then what is your 30-second summary of what happened in Benghazi?

KLEIN: What happened in Benghazi is a couple of things, joined. One was the VIDEO which was affecting the entire Islamic world. There were riots across the entire Islamic world. Why should Libya be any different? And number two, you had a street gang which called itself a militia that was heavily armed, the way many of them are in that part of the world, who chose that moment to attack our facilities there. And, you know, this is something that does not rise to the level of a — of the Secretary of State for sure. I mean, there are other people who should be questioned. David Petraeus was the CIA director at that point and I think that he had a significant role in how this thing was rolled out after it happened. But you got to remember that diplomats get killed in every administration.
