Stop laughing at Donald Trump

I think I might have actually been in Bosnia at about that time. I guess the snipers were focused on Hillary.

Trolls will never admit who is their candidate.

[BerryDingle]

Explain that.

Is your name George Foreman?

McCain signed a service commitment when he received a free college education at Annapolis.

Being captured does not automatically make one a hero. He has capitalized on the "hero" designation for decades based solely on his time in captivity.

As a senator, he has done precious little to aid his fellow vets.

[JennysCool]

And that would be ... ?

Dear Steve Schmidt, Nicolle Wallace, et al.:

Just remember, you slimed Sarah Palin for this.

You forgot to put “Barf Alert”

Nothing like being lectured from an Obama worshiper at the Brooking Institution about Donald Trump.

This hit piece reminds me of the way they attacked Reagan.

Why the Republican establishment campaigns the way it does:

in 2012, with strong minority turnout, whites made up 74 percent of all voter

Meet the future:

While racial minorities now account for 95 percent of U.S. population growth and represent 38 percent of the population,

The Republican establishment campaigns top-down, just as it governs, on behalf of of a limited fatcat donor base. It campaigns by spending literally hundreds of millions late in the election season to try to eke a narrow victory out of the 74% whites without antagonizing, that is energizing, Blacks, Latinos and single women.

The Democrat party is feverishly attempting to move 38% of the population into the voting booths and it will make them citizens if that is necessary and it will enable them to vote as noncitizens if that is necessary.

So we have different electioneering strategies, Republicans are top-down television oriented appealing to a declining demographic while the Democrats are creating their own demographic bottom up.

These numbers tell us why we are now in an election season which might conceivably permit a conservative Republican to be elected for the last time in a generation at least.

Time is not our friend.

Wow. No answer to your question!

There’s only one candidate who has a real record of cutting much funding to big government trash and its evil influence in politics. It can’t be that hard to know who, given the news in front of us so many times.

Y’all haven’t attended any protests against the Governor of Wisconsin, have you?

:-D

[wastoute]

Behalf a “person of faith”? I can’t stop laughing at that!

[familyop]

De-fund the bipartisan enemy in our political midst! Lay them off! Send them back to their coops!

Scott Walker is a consideration, but your craziness turns me offf to you and perhaps to him.

[wastoute]

The demographics have changed not because of fertility or any other reason so much as Ted Kennedy and the Rat’s treason. An invasion of foreigners encouraged by traitors. They have been successful because we have not fought them. That is changing (finally). We can win.

[familyop]

"Trolls will never admit who is their candidate."

"Wow. No answer to your question!"

"Scott Walker is a consideration, but your craziness turns me offf to you and perhaps to him."

Those are funny projections. :-D

The big spending will be cut the gradual and easy way with someone like Walker or the hard way with more big spending talkers and defaults. Either way, troublemakers will lose money and time for their socialist pursuits, and real conservatives will win.

It's interesting. My wife is about as apolitical as one can get. and a very low information voter, although she doesn't vote.

Earlier this month she was like, "I like Bernie Sanders". In other words, a loon.

I asked her how she would like a 90% tax rate. And then had to provide details about Sanders' policies.

Yesterday, she told me she wanted to listed to Trump, which shocked me to my shoes. I directed her to the press conference with the victims of the families whose relations were killed by illegal aliens.

I'm sure she's going for the entertainment factor first and foremost, but for her to get into this, is amazing.

Supposedly there was an Agent Orange Mixer at the airstrip in Da Nang that left that area highly contaminated ..like 80 percent 30 years later.

There is suppose to be a Fast Track for those who were boots on the ground in Vietnam for people who ended up with a list of diseases including ishemic heart disease.

The internet is filled about how little is done in helping Vets deal with Agent Orange and the aftermath.

Some are lucky to get 10% disability after years of fighting with the VA.

I hope the next President will actually make Vets a priority.

[DoughtyOne]

We’ll see. Perhaps so.

Ted lost part of my support when he voted for the support bill for the trade bill they’re trying to pass. He said he was against it, then voted for a support bill.

I just don’t understand these guys sometimes.

[DoughtyOne]

Woofie, I think he is the shark. This is somewhat the “theater of the absurd” to begin with.

Is there something you see as a defining moment?
