Back in the days of Richard Nixon and Watergate, Donald Segretti had a word for it.
Unfortunately, I can’t use that word in a family newspaper, but suffice it to say it had something to do with rats and everything to do with a vulgarism for political dirty tricks: using plants and double-agents in order to embarrass a candidate and boost their own man’s chances.
Last week it was GOP front-runner Donald Trump’s turn to get, well, ratfreaked.
A young woman at a campaign event in New Hampshire — self-righteous, hands on hips, a-quiver with indignation — popped up to declare, “I don’t think you’re a friend to women.” (“I knew I shouldn’t have picked her,” Trump immediately joked.)
Oops. Turns out that the woman, identified as Lauren Batchelder, 18, is a college volunteer for the fading candidacy of Jeb Bush.

Suit yourself; even though I am a CRUZ supporter to the bone, I now realize he won’t get the nomination. (be very happy to be proved wrong)
My donations to his campaign just aren’t enough to make a difference, neither are yours.
I will settle for a TRUMP presidency in the interim (hopefully with CRUZ as VP), and hope to live long enough to vote for CRUZ at the top of the ticket one day.
AFTER THE GOPE HAS BEEN DESTROYED.
Track record?
You mean like the track record those in DC have logged in for the past several decades? You want Trump's track record in the private sector to emulate the decline and disastrous policies of those in DC?
I wasn’t talking about the RINO’s or the GOPe. We have a few who have a conservative track record.
And that's accomplished what? How's that worked out for America sport?
NOT ANY MAN WITH A 1/4 OUNCE OF COMMON SENSE.
One date would be to much for me.
AMEN!!! Bring back manufacturing so OUR legal people not the H1-B people have jobs in THIS country!!!
Trump said it....and Trump will get it done...
GO TRUMP ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE 2016!!!
I love rye bread...and chopped liver...and cheese blintzes..and cream cheese with lox...feel free to stop me any time now...:)
Well, it sure ain’t JIBBERING JEB now is it.
Ooh, kiddo, you are making me really hungry. Some bagels and belly lox would go nice right now!
LOL!
If the Repubs who claimed to be conservative and gave us a majority in the house, were what they claimed to be, it would have worked out for America. Your explanation as to why it hasn’t worked out for America, why the ones we elected turned out to be liars, is as good as mine.
It they had been principled conservatives, as Cruz, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. We wouldn’t be seeing people putting all their eggs in one personality cult basket.
I love Cruz. I’m sorry he won’t get the nomination - unless things change dramatically. I admire him tremendously!
Any chance in the next election?
Sounds pretty damn good compared to what I had this morning.
She and pajama boy would get along.
:)
We agree on Cruz. But what about Trump’s statement? Am I to understand that you also agree with most on this thread who think his statement not a gaff, but ranking right up there with one the greatest utterances a candidate could ever make?
But it didn't, did it sport? Would of, could of, should of. And what did America get? 35+ years of corrupt business as usual. That's exactly what we've gotten sport.
Are Americans expected to wait until unemployment is 40%? Until education level has been reduced to that of Somalia? Until we have 55 million illegal aliens in country? Or until entire middle America has been left dead on the floor? Until we're in debt 30 trillion?
We're out of time sport. America is broken bad. We need to make America great again and we better get it right soon.
"...what Trump said was accurate, he said that 9/11 happened 'on Bush's watch' and that IS the truth.
The fact is, there were plenty of warning signs that got ignored by both the outgoing Clinton administration -and- the incoming GWB administration, and then there is that little mystery about why GWB went out of his way to make sure that his Saudi friends in the country were all flown out ASAP while other private air traffic was grounded in the days following 9/11.
REPUBLICRAT = Phony conservative running in a conservative district = crypto-lib.
DEMOCAN = Democrat running in semi-conservative democrat district, runs semi-conservatively (not nut case) then changes into nut case after elected.
