Yes it is amazing.

He enjoys it. If you enjoy what you are doing, it’s not work. It’s continual fun.

A few other things. I don’t like the, fly in to a rally and take you Brooks Bros suit off and put on a neatly pressed flannel shirt and jeans. Rand Paul looked comfortable, but not the others. On the other hand, no one dresses like Trump. He’s got the power outfit on, just like Reagan did. Power ties. Looks like he running a business.

Cruz looks like he got his suit from Hong Kong Tailors. They’re not fitted in the collar, five inches two long at the cuff. HIs hair is greasy, and I’m sure turns people off.

It would be an interesting one on one debate with Trump, but don’t think it’ll happen, because I see Bush and the others staying in it til the end.

If Trump wins, NH, SC FL in a row, why should he even continue debating these people. Rather, the GOP should say enough, let’s coalesce.

It looks also more and more certain, that SAnders will win NH and maybe even IOwa. Then what?

Six months ago I was more or less dreading this election cycle.

It’s interesting to say the least.

Last May or so someone on the forum asked me if I had looked at what Trump supported. I said no. He urged me to look. I actually told him it wouldn’t matter, I couldn’t support him.

I’m eating those words as I type....

Reince says he can rally the GOP behind Trump or Cruz should either of them be the nominee. How he will shut Rove up is anyone’s guess. Then again can Reince be believed?

Death throes aren’t pretty.

Welcomed by me, warmly received, but not pretty for him.

Heh...

;-)

Well that’s good enough in my book. Let him then earn his pay.

Trump needs for someone to round out his rough edges. Cruz is a God fearing man, Trump fears no one. He probably thinks he doesn’t need God. Good canvas for the James Dobson’s out there to set him straight, but that’s why I like the man. He’s flawed, maybe doesn’t know it yet, but he is, and he’s always learning.

Trump has never been the kind of guy who shut down debate or doesn’t give someone a second chance. YOu know, he still beats on Bush, because Bush still is running ads against him. Keep your mouth shut and Trump will too. Hillary sure learned her lesson. She goes after the guy, and he’s not even the nominee yet. How dumb.

No Trump will take the White House and both houses of Congress—He may paint the White House pillars with gold and add a new ball room (they have needed one for years—the USA shouldn’t need to rent a tent for a big State Dinner like we recently did for China). But his deal making skills will be put to the test. His first 100 days will be hitoric—BUT the Dems and MSM will rally to twart him and blame Obama’s failureson Trump. His plan to replace Obamacare will be nick named “Trumpcare” to mock him-—when people see it will work—The name will stick.

You touch on some things that occur to me as well.

I hadn’t noticed the clothing issues, but as I look back on what I have observed, you’re right. I know he come from Texas. He may have worn cowboy boots his whole life. For some reason, when I watch him moving around in them, it looks to me like he just started wearing them about six months ago.

His speaking skills don’t impress me at all. Others say he was the debate champ. Perhaps his speaking skills plays well in that environment. To me, it doesn’t play well when running for the presidency.

I have sat down and tried to watch some of his presentations. It is so annoying I give up between 30 seconds and a minute in.

How that guy could get people behind him is beyond me.

As for Bernie Sanders, this Hillary Clinton thing could literally blow up in our faces. She may be under indictment by the fall. Then again she may be protected.

This is really a strange year.

The thing we care the most about is losing Karl and his cronies.

I really think that Obama will pardon her. He’ll have to, as she has too much on him, and can implicate him, ie the ten o’clock conversation.

Well, he may.

If he does, she’ll get about 1% of the vote.

Don’t know about that. So far, her felonious activity hasn’t hurt anyone, so it seems, and Obama might post it out there, just like Ford did with Nixon, that it’s in the national interest. I don’t know who wrote the Ford speech, but it was pretty impressive and gave a pretty good argument, and of course it cost him the reelection, which was good in only that it brought in the numbskull Carter, who giveth our Reagan.

Rove is the self professed expert in the political arena.

He is bought and paid for by the GOPe and will attack anyone and anything that may threaten their grip on the Republican party and government in general.

He is the expert on anything...just ask him and he will immediately pull out his white board and throw some figures up there. It could range anywhere from brain surgeries in the U.S. to how many feet of toilet paper a person uses in a year.

I can’t stand the guy for you can see straight through him and the smell of the GOPe is all over him.

Karl, Karl, Karl - at least we will have a President who can stop much of the crap being put forward with the Veto pen.

We helped take majorities in both houses of the Congress and nothing changed - getting one of the two you rail against is probably our only hope.

Go home Rove....

Seems we lost the senate when we “won” it. Seems Rove’s rinos lost the presidential election the last two attempts.

I don’t disagree with that. What I do want to offer up in hindsight, is Clinton and Obama. How telling would it have been for Nixon to have been convicted of high crimes for what he did, when Clinton and Obama got away with what they did?

To this day I still believe Nixon was an accessory after the fact. He tried to stand behind his men. It cost him.

Now while that was wrong, and I recognize that, I was not convinced at that time nor am I today, that what he did went beyond what other presidents have done up until then, or even until now.

Hillary and Bill Clinton have been crime family members for decades. They have benefited direction from all manner of criminal acts including murder.

There is a VERY compelling reason to tie Hillary Clinton to the deaths of Jerry Parks and Vince Foster.

There a a multitude of criminal scandals surrounding Hillary, and a multitude of dead people floating in their wake.

This is why I can understand Nixon’s pardon. I cannot grasp the legality of giving Hillary a pardon for all past deeds.

Nixon was a president, and it was unseemly to place our ex president in prison. He was essentially exiled to San Clemente. That to me seemed a reasoned outcome.

What compelling issue necessitates Hillary being pardoned? I don’t see a one. Just to clear her so she can run for president? No.

Of course this is a Conservative argument, and the Left won’t bother to think along these lines, so I wouldn’t say you are wrong to speculate as you have. I certainly hope you are wrong though.
