Author and political satirist P.J. O’Rourke stated Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump “will finally be exposed as a double agent,” criticized GOP presidential candidate Texas Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for “dragging in all these tired, sick, old social issues” and said of Cruz and Trump, “I really do hate it with this immigration stuff” on Tuesday’s broadcast of “CNN Tonight.”

O’Rourke said, “Cruz could actually get…nominated. I’m assuming that Trump will finally be exposed as a double agent, and will have to be stuck in a Chappaqua safe house, or wherever Hillary has got Bill stashed. But Cruz could actually get the nomination, and that would just be a disaster for the Republican Party. He’s dragging in all these tired, sick, old social issues, get out of here. Stop it with the stuff about the gay marriage, stop it with the — I’m a 68-year-old guy with three kids, I’m supposed to raise my own children? Come on, I need immigration.”

He added, “bring in a boring guy. Okay, Republican candidates are supposed to be boring. We’ve got several that’ll do just fine, there’s Jeb. Kasich is a perfect example, a good boring governor of a purple state, very popular governor of a purple state, lots of experience in the House of Representatives, and he’s polling at like no percent.”(continued)

If he's a double agent, what's that make the Human Tortoise in the senate and the Bearded Clam in congress?

It's almost impossible to comfortably read some articles what with all the hieroglyphics still infecting FR. So I didn't read this one which was particularly bad.

Never a word of explanation or hope, really bugs me.

Never a word of explanation or hope, really bugs me.

Here is a good attempt at an explanation:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3354891/posts?page=36#36

Jim Robinson has posted that he is aware of the problem, and that John is working on it. However, FR has been having character set problems since at least last October.

As for hope, I hope John hasn't given up.

I am with you ... can’t read a lot of the articles posted due the weird symbol stuff. Really keeps my FR time down. sigh

A pity to learn that PJ O’Rourke is becoming senile.

“and to see the Supreme Court taken over by clones of Sonya Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Elena Kagan.”

None of whom would be on the Court without the collaboration of the GOPe Senators who voted for them.

[miss marmelstein]

No, he was never funny.

How remarkable is that?/sarc

Bad, the mental illness in this one, is.....

[MinuteGal]

Thanks for the reply. I don't understand the tech stuff and I missed that October thread. My gripe is solely that we hear nothing of any progress, or anything of any kind from management. Some information or soothing words from time to time would help from those who don't know the problem (including newbies) and who wonder what the heck is going on with the hieroglyphics stunting so many articles (I just recruited a new member who will sign on after a holiday trip).

We're not babies, and we understand that some bad you-know-what happens from time to time, but just a word or two once in a while from the PTB would be useful and reassuring.

>> The liberals consistently choose “style” over “substance.” <<

Agreed completely.

But I think it’s not only the liberals, because a substantial percentage of so-called conservatives are now supporting a TV “reality show” actor — with support that seems mostly based upon the candidate’s well-honed style of firing people on a fictional TV show and upon his actor’s ability to feign outrage when anybody asks him tough questions. I say the guy is about 90% style and maybe about 10% substance.

[Hawthorn]

>> I understand Nixon didn’t fare well under studio lights <<

Yep, the people who heard the JFK-Nixon debate on radio thought that Nixon won!

[wideawake]

You’re being generous with that 10%.
