Trump was out of control in South Carolina debate (Delusional? Only in your fetid imagination troll)

Donald Trump was so awful, so horrible, so disgusting in the latest Republican debate — his lies, his distortions, his deceits, and his libels thicker and fouler than they’ve yet been—that he’s done us all a favor. If he wins easily in South Carolina after his monstrous turn, he’ll be going straight to the Republican nomination.

Such a victory in a classically conservative state like South Carolina after his romp in idiosyncratic New Hampshire will prove Trump’s repellent personality is the real key to his success. You want me to delineate his dishonesties? That would be like asking me to count how many breaths he took.

We will not be able to labor under any delusions after a win comparable to his triumph in New Hampshire. We will know for a certainty that the man Republicans want for their tribune in 2016 is a disgusting jerk they somehow believe will have their backs when the only back he’s ever had is his own

I have renounced my conservatism for populism with a side of nativism. You are not by yourself! How an Obscure Adviser to Pat Buchanan Predicted the Wild Trump Campaign in 1996 The Week dot com ^ | Michael Brendan Dougherty Posted on 1/20/2016, 2:17:11 AM by WayneLusvardi Imagine giving this advice to a Republican presidential candidate: What if you stopped calling yourself a conservative and instead just promised to make America great again? What if you dropped all this leftover 19th-century piety about the free market and promised to fight the elites who were selling out American jobs? What if you just stopped talking about reforming Medicare and Social Security and instead said that the elites were failing to deliver better healthcare at a reasonable price? What if, instead of vainly talking about restoring the place of religion in society something that appeals only to a narrow slice of Middle America. You simply promised to restore the Middle American core, the economic and cultural losers of globalization to their rightful place in America? What if you said you would re store them as the chief clients of the American state under your watch, being mindful of their interests when regulating the economy or negotiating trade deals? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3385923/posts

Excellent analysis and summary!

What’s crazy is that after the Iraq war and trillions down the drain we now have a worse situation and these idiots like Jeb want to go in again and waste more money (borrowed from China no less) while risking wwiii. Theses people are certifiably insane and have nothing but disdain for the lives of the average American which they are all too happy to feed into the meat grinder.

If that were not enough they want to flood the country with illegals to drive down their wages or harass what employers are left until they leave the country.

And trump is the one unhinged? Looks to me like it is the establishment that is unhinged.

All it shows, is that Trump is successfully accompishing, what it is the Rove wing of the GOP has wanted ever since George H.W. Bush squandered Reagan's legacy and validated liberals' slanders with his "*compassionate* conservatism" twaddle -- that is, to reach across the aisle for those who vote Dem out of habit, but not out of deep-seated liberal principles.

The Rove crowd are mad, that Trump is showing them to be the cuckservatives they are, in that he does it without constantly caving and compromising: he may in fact give things to the left, but he does it in such a way that the right actually receives more in return than an invite to the latest DC cocktail party and a mere promise of a reach-around from the press at a later date.

His "praise" of Planned Parenthood in which he stood against funding their abortions was one such masterful shot: his remarks were such that some on the right were mad at him, defusing him from knee-jerk accusations of being a frothing right-wing fanatic...and yet the proposition he made would undercut the provision of most abortions.

The art of the "deal."

If he's so unstable, how did he build a net worth of umpteen billions?

And keep landing supermodel wives?

[Grampa Dave]

Bol!

The point was, he's not some kid hired to write what he's told.

No, he's a middle-aged man required to write what he's told in order to keep his job.

[Grampa Dave]

Amen and join me brother!

Well, we eventually ended up doing what Trump said we should have done - declare victory and get out - and we got ISIS for that. The first key mistake in the war was sticking with Rumsfeld’s vision of limited military presence for way too long. And the second was not insisting on a status of forces agreement. Obama walking away basically put us on a very weak footing in the region, and politics abhors a vacuum.

Trump loses to Hillary in most national polls. Cruz performs better against Hillary in every single poll that's been taken. So stop spreading the lies that Trump is somehow more electable. There is no evidence for it.

Here's the fun thing about polls: depending on the questions (in their entirety), the sample size, the internals of the sample chosen, and the weightings, you can come up with all kinds of divergent results.

What kind of crowds is Trump drawing?

What kind of crowds is Hillary Snowden Clinton drawing?

Which one apparently suffered a severe concussion?

Which one put special compartmented access information on an insecure network?

Which one gives every appearance of having accepted millions in bribes for hostile foreign powers?

Which one openly helped their spouse get away with a lifetime of sexual harassment?

...why are you so quiet about Hillary's perfidy? What aren't you on DU and Daily Kos talkng *her* down?

[Grampa Dave]

No, he is a middle-aged man required to write what he's told in order to keep his job.

By this time next year, he and his vile open border peers will be unemployed.

They will be lucky to get a free meal from the Salvation Army while President Trump shreds their old DC dream world.

I remember when a certain Commander-in-Chief had a sign on his desk that said, "The Buck Stops Here."

You know, that would be an OUTSTANDING sign for Trump's Oval Office desk:

"The Cuck Stops Here."

In order for satirical humor to work, it has to have an element of truth.

That's why your photoshop isn't working.
