First Read: Donald Trump, Captain Chaos
NBC News ^ | 1/8/16 | CHUCK TODD, MARK MURRAY and CARRIE DANN

Posted on 01/08/2016 6:39:23 AM PST by jimbo123

Well, Jeb Bush was right about this: Donald Trump has been a chaos candidate -- for almost everyone involved in the 2016 contest. He created chaos in Bernie Sanders' backyard yesterday; he brought chaos into Hillary Clinton's campaign, raising an issue (Bill Clinton's past with women) that few had been willing to touch in quite some time; he introduced chaos for Ted Cruz, knocking the Texas senator off message with the "birther" issue for multiple days; and he's produced chaos within the entire Republican Party over the last six months. If you want to know why this 2016 presidential campaign has been so crazy, bizarre, and unpredictable, you can thank one person for that -- Donald Trump.

58% said they could see themselves supporting him in the Dec. 2015 NBC/WSJ poll, up from about 20% in March — is that he’s the most profound polar opposite to Obama in entire GOP field.

*********************************************************

No better reason to vote for him since everything Obama does or says is exactly and profoundly wrong.

Liberal definition of Captain Chaos: One who has the gall to actually fight back.

I appreciate being informed that this article exists, but is there any reason to read it? I know what NBC News is and it is a propaganda machine.

As Obama writes later in the New York Times op-ed, the gun industry has “guaranteed that manufacturers enjoy virtual immunity from lawsuits, which means that they can sell lethal products and rarely face consequences.

How about knives and base ball bats you %*#$% idiot?

NBC, by their constant unflinching bias, has created Donald Trump.

“58% said they could see themselves supporting him”.......

With a margin of error around +/- 3%, 60% of those polled (by NBC no less) would support Trump if the GOP gives him the nod. That seems to be a hell of a lot of support.

Claiming to NOT be a politician, Trump is “eating their lunch”

WOOHOO TRUMP!!!

It’s about time that someone finally has the guts and the balls to go out and stand up for the American People for once...

People can’t stand the fact that ONE man is actually pulling a vast amount of people back to the polls to vote for themselves instead of having some Wall Street, GOPe hacks, Superpacs, lobbyists shoving crap down our throats all the time!!!

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is Trump’s theme, if you don’t like it, your not part of the America spirit that wants to re build AMERICA that some people twice voted obuma into office to destroy!!!

As parents, we wouldn’t put up with this if we were talking about faulty car seats. Why should we tolerate it for products — guns — that kill so many children each year?”

*************************************************

Among the most stupid things that moron has ever said.

A gun has never killed a child. Careless owners maybe.

I’m done ranting now, that utterly useless p.o.s. will be gone in about a year.

I will give credit to Jeb for coining that term.

And I am glad Trump is Captain Chaos.

I shudder at who he will nom to SCOTUS - like his sister.

But I will just have to live with it since we have got to turn the GOPe upside down.

The title is funny, because I’ve been mulling writing an article for a couple of years about how chaos theory predicts a massive, paradigm-shifting change in American politics in 2016.

“Obama, on the other hand, was classic Obama: measured, nuanced, and full with specifics. He also weighed both sides of the gun debate, and he took questions from several gun-rights supporters”

Wasn’t that townhall for invited guests only?

Like maybe planted questions.

I would say more like Captain Cunning. Smart as a fox. He uses and manipulates the system and he’s winning. Ya gotta love the guy. :-)

Stupid MSM reporter, it isn't so much as Bill's past and his abuse of women but Mrs. Clinton's part in destroying their lives if they dared to speak out.

Captain Chaos.

How soon before the MSM run out of descriptive negative adjectives about Trump?

==

At least Trump isn’t doing the same ole political stumping — same ole rhetoric, same ole promises, same ole pandering, ...

And he is creating chaos for Bernie and Hillary?

GO DONALD!
