-——After four terms of two of the most divisive presidents in American history, the last thing America needs is another divider-in-chief.-——
If staying mute against the lies and slander of the democrats, Bush endured is being divisive....
I might need a new dictionary....
If its better than Trump its from the future, from another galaxy, or a clone.
America should just skip all the debates, the media taunt shows and just hold the election next week.
Thats the problem, its like wsiting for a movie to begin in the movie house, by the time the main feature starts all your popcorn is gone.

(which is what free, capitalistic America was meant to be and prospered under)
A basic sense of American patriotism with a heaping side of American arrogance
(which we were so often accused of and we didn't much give a shit WHAT others thought of us)
and a history of accomplishment that inspired and challenged the planet to emulate us, and angered the various ruling powers that loved evil
All wrapped up in a Sunday that shut the country down so we could be quiet for at least a day
That one day of rest was what made us great
Our decline started when we began buying into the false nobility of 'work'
Well Rooster I think Trump is caustic, bombastic and a little too reactionary with criticism. Flaws indeed however he’s doggone capable and accomplished to get things done and he loves America. Besides who else can we win with in 2016? Therefore I support Trump but not out of fawning blind allegience.

Reach across the aisle? Only if done, as Mark Levin used to say, to “reach across the aisle and give them a slap!”
An enemy must be defeated. The GOPe has conflated compromise with capitulation.
It’s simple:
We’re sick of the perfidy of our elected representatives helping fraudulently documented foreigners invade our country.
It’s simple really.
2016 is going to be all about POPULISM! I hate to break it to the GOPe, or even to friendly fellow travelers like Mr. Limbaugh, but a Conservative is NOT going to win the race this time. A POPULIST will.
This is the result of years of pent-up frustration with bad trade deals, crony capitalist corruption, bailouts for “too big to fail” banks, and other events which have led to a general feeling across the political spectrum that elites have stacked the deck against the little guy.
We can debate to what degree that is true or not, but that is the general feeling. And two terms of Obama have taught us nothing if not that elections are now won or lost on FEELINGS.
The only question remaining is whether the winner will be a right-leaning populist or a left-leaning populist. Personally I’ll take Trump over Bernie any day.
If Cruz of Trump can destroy the machinery that is tearing down our Constitution and our nation, then they have my vote. America is going to give the ballot box one last try, but I get the sense in talking with everyday people, that it is glancing over at the bullet box on the shelf with more frequency.
I don’t want reach across the isle leadership. Time to push back the marxists.
This is a good article, and I have considered the parallels between this upcoming election and the election of 1968.
In 1968, America was concluding eight years of Democrat control, we had crime and craziness in the streets, the economy was not at all doing as well as it should, we had a continuing war in Vietnam that we were not winning because that clown LBJ wouldn’t let our military do the job they were trained to do.
Enter Richard Nixon. The ‘NEW’ Nixon. Lost in 1960, lost the California governship in ‘62, everyone had pretty much written him off, but by tapping into the discontent of the American electorate, he repackaged himself as the traditional Cold Warrior he was known as in prior years, he pushed the law & order angle (emphasized later by his VP selection of Governor Spiro Agnew), and the voters responded, why?
Because Nixon represented the possibility of changing course from the consistent foul ups of the LBJ years, and I maintain that many Republicans remembered how LBJ screwed over Barry Goldwater in ‘64 with that campaign of smears and lies, and that is why they got behind Nixon.
Now it is Trump who is appealing to those who are tired of the screw ups, corruption and incompetence of the Obama years (and the GWB years too, truth be told), and because Trump is NOT an established politician, his message is resonating with Americans who say “enough is enough!”.
Anyway, I see similarities. Whether or not they will be validated or not remains to be seen, however at this early point, the race to the GOP nomination AND the White House is Trump’s to lose. If he stays on message, I don’t think he can be stopped.

False premise. Washington doesn't work when one party has a blank check to demand the other capitulate on its principles. Reaching across the aisle, as it were, belies the fact that Congress and DC need to learn to solve national issues without impinging on American freedoms. That cannot be done without a bit of rancor, especially given the entrenched political harlots currently inside the beltway.
Here is one for you!!
