The Trump supremacy
Politico ^ | 2-20-16 | Kyle Cheney

Posted on 02/20/2016 10:49:22 AM PST by dlt

The Trump-Truthers are running out of arguments for why The Donald can't win the Republican nomination, and on Saturday, Trump could end that discussion entirely. With a victory here -- coming on the heels of a blowout in New Hampshire -- Trump would not only prove that he can win the primary, he'd cement himself as the race's frontrunner.

Worse than Kerry reminding us he was in Vietnam.

4 Corporate Bankruptcies out of the 100s of business ventures he has had. The Trump Organization currently list 515 separate subsidiaries and entities. What kind of success rate is that?

Sorry forgot my /S tag.

4 out of 515 is like batting 0.990
Any baseball player would kill for a third of that.

I know you were being sarcastic. I figured I would add to it.

ref: “Who is Bill Russell and why am I supposed to care a damn what he says?”

I am just a guy who has seen the dirty side of politics inside the arena. A guy who took on one of the most corrupt and powerful congressmen in US history — and silenced him on the most pressing political issue of 2008.

I am just a guy who has seen power politics at its worst from both the Democrats and my own party — and Trump reminds me of the worst of some of the characters I ran into, specifically my stalker.

Now, who is odawg, and why am I supposed to care a damn what he says?

Reagan Gets Bill Easing Abortion In California - Jun 14, 1967

June 14, 1967 The California Assembly passed and sent to Governor Reagan a bill easing the state’s abortion law, unchanged in 95 years.
Reagan said the bill was “by no means perfect” and would have to be watched closely to prevent California from becoming an abortion haven. But he said he would sign it despite his doubts about some possible “loopholes.”
“I am fully sympathetic with attempts to liberalize the outdated abortion law now on the law books of California,” the freshman governor said....
The bill...would permit abortions before the 20th week of pregnancy if:

-The prospective mother’s physical or mental health is in danger.

-The pregnancy resulted from incest or forcible rape, or statutory rape in the case of a girl 14 years old or younger.

The old law permits abortions only if the life of the prospective mother is endangered.

“...Reviled by a Republican establishment that in some ways would prefer a Trump election...”

That is as far as I got in reading your article.

Laughable mis-direction.

Rush Limbaugh will say that the establishment hates Trump, and then he will literally hiss the words, “But they hate Cruz more.”

Because, by god, Cruz is unrelenting in his pure, consistent conservatism.

Except when it comes to genuflecting to his globalists handlers. Remember TPA? He helped Paul Ryan roll it out, he said Sessions was wrong to claim it has Congress usurping clauses in it regarding Congressional authority over immigration. Cruz fought for it, lobbied for it, helped it to get to the floor for a vote, and then voted for it. When it came back from the House for another vote, he was given permission to vote against it because his vote was not needed. I later heard him tell Levin that he did not know the immigration language was in the bill. He lied. He had successfully fought for the Obama/globalist agenda.

Next up, he lobbied against the Corker bill as he rightfully should; when time came to vote, he voted for the bill. Now he condemns the bill. He again voted for the Obama/globalists agenda.

With the Cruz supporters, how Cruz votes on nation-bending bills is not nearly as important as what a businessman says in a off-the-cuff comment twenty years previously.

“...and Trump reminds me of the worst of some of the characters I ran into, specifically my stalker.”

I would assume stalkers like to strike from ambush. How does that character assassination against Trump on your part stack up?

“Now, who is odawg, and why am I supposed to care a damn what he says?”

I don’t present myself able to give a grandiose round-up on the inner workings and minds of all the Republican candidates. Why did you ask?

That quote is not in my article as I did not write it. So who is guilty of laughable mis-direction?

You are right. I am wrong.

I must have clicked something wrong.

So I scanned your article a little bit.

It was absolutely pathetic.

The first article was not all that bad, except for the sentence I MISTAKENLY quoted to you.

My comment still stands: you don’t like stalkers but you come across as one yourself. You come across like a sociopath.

That much venom circulating in someone’s mind cannot be healthy. I dont’t like Cruz, for example, but I never spend much time thinking about him, or even Obama, for that matter.

I am referring to the venom and length of the article. I could not do that, myself. I think that is good.

Sorry you feel that way. There is no venom on my part, just an observation of the parallels between the demonstrated behaviors of Donald Trump and the sociopath who stalked me during my campaigns. This is the man whom far too many people are blindly trusting to be the next PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES because he has said all the right things about the hot button issues many of them are concerned about. Given the dangerous times we are in, this is definitely something we should all be concerned about.

“...the demonstrated behaviors of Donald Trump and the sociopath who stalked me during my campaigns.”

Don’t stalkers by definition do things in the shadows? If they were out in the open, they could not be called stalkers.

Trump is never in the shadows.

Trump says Patton is one of his heroes.

Patton advised:

“Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.”

By damnedest, Patton meant excellence.

I don’t know who you are. If you are young enough, try again. I wouldn’t want to say a low-life stalker defeated me (evidently a paid agent).

Not all stalkers stay in the shadows, especially sociopaths who crave attention. They often want to play the poor victim so they can position themselves as the public hero. My stalker would have been much more visible had he not been caught in a public lie early on. After that, the press ignored his claims. Trump has been much more successful in the publicity aspect of his endeavors.
