February 21st, 2016
Guests to be interviewed today on major television talk shows:
FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): GOP Presidential Candidate Donald Trump; Tad Devine, adviser to Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders; Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump
FACE THE NATION (CBS): Trump; Sanders; Republican presidential candidates Marco Rubio and John Kasich;Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.
THIS WEEK (ABC): Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus.
STATE OF THE UNION (CNN): Trump, Sanders, Rubio; Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz; Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Sharyl Attkisson's Full Measure A sobering investigation into the cost of medical services, where the difference can be THOUSANDS for the EXACT SAME PROCEDURE! How can they vary so widely, even within the same city?
MORE than 60% are voting for someone other than Cruz or Rubio. What does that prove?
JMHO, the entire stinkin’ media is and has been in that same panic mode or possibly worse ever since Trump announced and didn’t get torched out of existence the way they wanted.
Fox has only just come to the realization that THEIR viewers have got them doin’ that World Famous Last Turn Around the Toilet Bowl along with the rest of the turds.
..but with my lifelong attitude about “our” media, all that does is let me Happy Dance every time they squeal about it.
He just does not get it. Those tactics may work in other elections, but this one it just damages Cruz. Same with his robocalls and negative ads.
He is just a badger and never looks around to see the world is changing.
If he is so weak, why can't the other GOP candidates beat him? Trump finished a strong second in Iowa, demolished the field in NH across all demographics, and won a landslide victory in SC. He is ahead in most states including the next one in NV.
Trump seems to be doing well across the board with his populist, anti-Establishment, nationalist appeal. Jeb with his $150 million budget has dropped out of the race.
The Reps have lost the popular vote in five out of the last six elections with Obama getting the two highest vote totals in American history. The GOP is a dying party. Trump is attracting new voters. Some polls have him winning up to 25% of the black vote, which would mean certain victory for the GOP.
Trump is not a weak candidate. Ask Christie, Santorum, Bush, Gilmore, Fiorina, Walker, Pataki, Paul, Huckabee, Graham, Jindal, and Perry.
Heres a good piece on how trump does not support obamacare
I have bit my tongue long enough. As a delegate for Senator Ted Cruz I have been placed into a difficult and increasingly uncomfortable position and now I have had enough! Continuing to support Senator Cruz after he repeats incorrectly and ad nauseum that “A vote for Donald Trump is a vote for Obamacare“ and, that “if you vote Donald Trump, you vote for Bernie Sanders-style socialized medicine.“ Or even worse that Trump, Clinton and Sanders “have the identical position on health care†has forced me into a crisis of conscience. These are statements that even the left leaning Politifact has correctly identified as FALSE.
There are two things I detest above all others. Lies and intellectual laziness. There are far too many of my fellow “Cruzers†who either refuse to do the necessary research on Mr. Trump’s health care proposals or are simply too lazy to simply read his actual policy proposals as outlined in both his books “Time To Get Tough†from 2011 and his latest book “Crippled America†from 2015. Therefore, I have linked the pertinent sections pertaining to Mr. Trump’s actual health care policy proposals below.
This first link is a link to chapter 8 of Mr. Trump’s book “Time To Get Tough“.
This second link is a link to chapter 7 of Mr. Trump’s book “Crippled America.â€
Hugh Hewitt: “I’d rather lose an election than lose the Court”.
What the hell does that even mean?
Trump gave Hillary a slight backhand and she was out for three weeks. Wait til he turns his guns on her. Hope she has her Obamacare paid up.
His tenor has been less supportive over the last 90 days and got sharper this week. It will continue to become more harsh. Cruz first and/or Rubio is his choice. More and more negativism will come out against Trump. Cruz and to an extent Rubio will be glossed over or indirectly supported. Or Trump may get the McCain treatment of 2000.
I was gonna excerpt this thread but its so good and so vast everyone needs to read it!!thanks bray!!

How do you become a delegate before the vote? I thought delegates were chosen after the primary?
I don't see it working against the Trumpster,he handles all of them so well they will wind up losing.
Exactly well put.
“It’s amazing, really. The GOP base keeps telling our leadership of why we’re voting the way we are and the GOPe simply cannot understand it”
-—Oh, I think they get it, they are just trying to convince us we are wrong to believe what we do, and think what we think which is typical of Democrat politicians.
That got me too I don’t get it at all.Seems there are different rules for every state,its very confusing.
Don’t know, but the two aren’t mutually exclusive.
Lose the election, and you would lose the Court, because I’m very certain Hillary Clinton’s or Bernie Sander’s nominees will not make up a Court you want to see, Mr. Hewitt.
Or is that Mr. Low-witt?
I do have questions about what appears to be a sudden death, the comments about the pillow, and comments I’ve read about the norm for autopsies/forensics in TX.
I wouldn’t blame Roberts, but as I understand it, the guy that owned the ranch was a big Dim supporter, including to Obama.
Thanks AB!
Trump fights until the other guy backs down and that is not where the conservative Punditocracy wants or knows how to go. In the end they are the snooty Conservative Country Club and he is the Billionaire hardhat and the hardhat is winning. The best election evah!
For me the Donald secured the election when he took on the fiercest competitor in the world; the new communist pope. Not only did he defeat the pope in no time at all he backed the guy down!! Being the bigger man of the two he also backed off some of his rhetoric as well.
I’ll take a guy who can best a communist pope any ol’ day. Truth is most people still don’t understand “The Donald”. I was glad to hear Newt earlier this morning on Hannity deducing what he thought and what I have been saying here is the essence of Trump.
the Donald is not yet full formed. He is a work in process and two weeks from now he will be more politically formed than he is now. Newt and I agree on that and it’s key to understanding Donald.
Well stated Rod. Glad to see the Donald hold his poll margin, and even better he picks up the delegates. Some spin this morning on Fox, but even they know the ship has sailed on knocking Donald out early
Part of a primary is the various candidates trying to explain where they differ one from another or even to attack the positions and comments of their rivals. It is natural, and the way it’s always been every four years.
To that end, it doesn’t bother me when Cruz exaggerates Trumps statements or Trump goes after Cruz or Rubio saying Cruz can’t speak Spanish or any other thing they say. We can certainly learn and correct the record as things are exposed.
What does bother me is FReeper attacking FReeper as dumb, droolers, mean-spirited, Holier-than-thou, etc., etc.
Other than that, even I have to put on my big boy pants and learn to roll with the punches. So in that regard, Rush doesn’t bother me. Levin, on the other hand, likes to attack those who favor Trump, not just Trump.
Anyway, remember Muskie crying in New Hampshire in the snow in 1972? He never overcame that. Maybe Trump will have such an episode, who knows?
