>> What democrat garbage is Trump gonna spout next? Valarie Plame? <<

I’d say that at this point, Trump is already way past any mere “democrat” characteristics.

No, by now he has outed himself as a full-fledged member of the Code Pink fan club. His proper spot is on the Alex Jones Show, not on the stage with the other GOP contenders.

Last night’s outburst demonstrates, moreover, that the man obviously is not mentally stable. His finger should never be anywhere near the nuclear button.

There actually were WMDs in Iraq, they were moved to Syria.

“Bill Clinton was 100% responsible for not doing anything about Bin laden.”

Please. Bush also had to ignore the security memos.

Trump never finishes his sentences or thoughts. He just finish his thoughts or wondering what he’s really saying. I don’t trust him.

I guess he forgot about the thousands of chemical weapons that were found.

Another thing to remember: Clinton is a brother by ‘another’ Mother, they have been friends for years, even running a drug cartel in Mena, Arkansas when Clinton was Governor...

So knowing that, of course GWB knew about bin laden and the reasons why Clinton didn’t want to take him out while he was President...

And the Bushes are very close friends with the Saudis, how do think we got to use their country for our war in Desert Storm? Then the Saudi Prince came here while GWB was President, remember the picture of them holding hands and Bush kissing him at his ranch in Little Prairie?

It all fits together...Trump is pulling back another curtain for the people of America to see what happened...

Fhios I agree with much of what you write in 92, except for suspecting a lie somewhere at the root of the Iraq invasion, by Bush or by anyone else. Pretty much everything else you say there I could have written myself. Clearly nation-building was a successful follow up to WWII but the Iraq/Afghanistan experience obviously calls it into
question today. Like you, I would more seriously consider purely punitive military policies now.

But you argued in 9 that Trump did not walk back anything. So again, has he always maintained that Bush lied? He said it with absolute, unmistakable clarity last night. Has that always been Trump’s position?

Did George W. Bush in fact lie about WMDs in Iraq?

Even the New York Times admits Iraq had WMDs.

-— “I am not blaming him,” Trump -—

The only thing that matters is what Trump says today. Usually.

>> Trump is pulling back another curtain <<

You betcha. He pulled back a curtain to reveal — once more — his own unstable personality, with its distinctly nasty side.

He may win the GOP nomination, maybe by a plurality. But the American people at large will never hand the WH to such a candidate.

Donald Trump continues to support Planned Parenthood despite the fact that abortionists like them kill 3000 babies a day.

-— Donald Trump slings mud. Then claims otherwise. -—

And I’ve yet to hear him explain ANYTHING coherently.

Reading the fine print in your cool little Cruz puppet meme, I noticed those stories are sourced from such reliable main stream media outlets such as Daily Beast and the NY Slimes, as are most of the anti cruz diatribes around here these days. It just seems funny that most of the pro Trump ammo comes from sources that FR traditionally has regarded as DNC biased.

And wasn’t this the very accusation leveled at Cruz after the #newyorkvalues dust up in Iowa.

It’s a shame you can’t revise and extend your tag line to read... and Donald Trump thinks Planned Parenthood does wonderful things.

To: Fundamentally Fair

EXCELLENT..Thanks. He’s a sharp man, I mean a really sharp man so why hasn’t he figured out yet that everything he’s said, I mean everything he’s said, is archived somewhere? What you say must be repeated several times to get the point across, doesn’t it? I mean, doesn’t it have to be repeated several times? UGH!

This is what Trump wrote - not what he says he wrote:

“The America We Deserve,” which was published in January 2000, makes a single reference to bin Laden. It doesn’t warn “we better be careful with this guy named Osama bin Laden.” It doesn’t say the U.S. “better take him out.” And Trump’s reference to bin Laden as someone “nobody really knew” at the time is wrong, too.

Here’s the lone reference to bin Laden in Trump’s book:

Trump, “The America We Deserve,” January 2000: Instead of one looming crisis hanging over us, we face a bewildering series of smaller crises, flash points, standoffs, and hot spots. We’re not playing the chess game to end all chess games anymore. We’re playing tournament chess, one master against many rivals. One day we’re all assured that Iraq is under control, the UN inspectors have done their work, everything’s fine, not to worry. The next day the bombing begins. One day we’re told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin-Laden is public enemy number one, and U.S. jetfighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later it’s on to a new enemy and new crisis.
