[Alas Babylon!]

You-all mud rassler, you!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I stayed off most of the political chat this week by avoiding the propaganda networks and can honestly say I felt a whole hell of a lot better.

Well! We can't have that.

Welcome to the mud pit.

(sorry, lost my formatting as well as my mind)

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Mud rassle elsewhere!

Oh Yeah!

RATs and RINOs suck.

Take that.

F.Chuck at his biased best today. In a moment of sanity Priebus fired back at him that Hillary might wind up in jail and slo joe could be their candidate F.Chuck pretended like he never head the response and went on with his long list of gotcha questions.
If there is an issue or a question that the drivebys don’t like they totally ignore it as if it doesn’t exist. Unreal.

The Wallace interview of Trump was accusatory about the woman reporter who lied about rough treatment from the Trump security, the abortion question from Chris Matthews, the photo of Trump's wife from fifteen years ago which Cruz supporters blanketed Utah with to push Mormon women voters into voting for the pure, evangelical Cruz. More. The final charge was that Trump may not support the primary winner after signing a pledge to do so in return for voter info from the RNC. This is a generalization of the interview but does not convey the tone of Wallace which was, overall, disapproving of Trump's activities. I saw Donald Trump as strong and thoughtful. Where allowed to address any point in the interview he certainly did hold his own. On Abortion, he said it was a hypothetical question and maybe he would have handled it better than saying a woman would be punished. However, I maintain he was correct because where there is crime there is punishment. The abortion industry exists and thrives on having women use their services. If any part of the process is criminalized, how can the provider of the unborn baby be exempted from liability? There is the consideration of the punishment fits the crime. The laws regarding abortion could include exclusion for the woman or consideration of her circumstances. The unborn baby will still be the dead victim to be sold for body parts or otherwise disposed of. On party loyalty, there was no discussion of the RNC being loyal to Donald Trump. The whole organization has conducted all out war on his candidacy and continues to manipulate, behind the scenes, the rules and their various interpretations. Trump concluded with the interview by saying he would react to the fairness of the outcome. I concur with that. I can accept a fair race but I do not have to be accepting of a stolen nomination.

Fox News Sunday airs here @ 9:00 A.M. Central.

The people who are on t.v. sometimes refuse to do research. Some take the lazy way out and love to be politically correct.

Maybe that's why the RATagandists get the big bucks...because they can turn off their brain.

It's the exact opposite of an improv-musician, who can "play by ear".

[rodguy911]

Trump standing very tall on abortion on CBS with some lackey reading his DNC gothca questions.Trump handling him pretty well.

[Cboldt]

-- Why the Hell would he [Trump] attack Scott Walker? --

I think it is a reaction to Walker supporting Cruz. Trump is asserting things about the health of Wisconsin that are flying under the radar, basically economic health, saying the state would do better under policies favored by Trump (more jobs, better foreign trade deals), and by implication, that Walker and the political class are not good for the country. In short, that Walker is just another insider politician, and Trump is not.

-- If he [Trump] loses the state, that is probably why. --

I believe the reasons for Cruz's favorability in Wisconsin are similar to Iowa.

In a moment of sanity Priebus fired back at him that Hillary might wind up in jail and slo joe could be their candidate F.Chuck pretended like he never head the response and went on with his long list of gotcha questions.

HA!

Nice catch (guess I shouldn't have muted that)

This demonstrates two of the things I said to Freedbird:

1) The accidental sliver of truth.

2) How they can shut off their brain.

[rodguy911]

Great analysis thanks. Looks like they are doing everything they can to steal this election away from Trump.

[rodguy911]

For sure, the way the drivebys pick and chose what is news is nothing short of corrupt.

[onyx]

Whew! I remembered to set TIVO, so I’ve just switched to FTN.

I’ll be a few minutes arrears.

[bray]

Another dirty little secret. A third Party could win this election. There are enough voters mad at both Parties to actually win. Trump is the perfect candidate for it.

[Alas Babylon!]

Thanks for the MTP report!

[Cboldt]

-- I just heard that 80% figure only minutes ago from one of the panelists ... --

Maybe they polled the five Republicans in the newsroom.

There are a number of polls from late 2015, all showing low favorability ratings for walker, Jindal and Christie.

Gov. Walker's approval ratings among lowest in the country - Milwaukee Journal Sentinal - Nov. 20, 2015
Scott Walker's approval in Wisconsin hits new low - Wisconsin State Journal - Oct 1, 2015

Oh, I found the source of the 80% figure ... Marquette Law School Poll - March 30, 2016

Among the 80 percent of likely Republican primary voters who approve of the job Walker is doing as governor, Cruz has the support of 45 percent, Trump 27 percent and Kasich 18 percent, with 9 percent undecided. Among the 17 percent who disapprove of Walker's job performance, 44 percent back Trump, 38 percent Kasich and 16 percent Cruz, with just 1 percent undecided.

[Alas Babylon!]

Whoops, missed your BRIEF (no doubt due to nausea) MTP report! Thanks!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I maintain he was correct because where there is crime there is punishment...If any part of the process is criminalized, how can the provider of the unborn baby be exempted from liability? There is the consideration of the punishment fits the crime.

I was debating a woman on this the other day (in front of several other woman)

First I said "Did you hear the actual "gotcha" premise of the question?"

I told her it started with "If abortion were illegal..."

Then she said "A woman has a right to do what ever with her own body"

I said: "That baby is not your own body"

I asked: "If you hire a hit-man to kill someone, are you guilty of murder?"

"What's the difference"

I said: "If the premise was that abortion is illegal, what's the point of having a crime if there is no penalty?"

The other women agreed with me.

[rodguy911]

That's the big question. If the SHTF and the GOP-e steals the nomination the big question after that will be what to do.

I don't know anyone who has an answer, I know I don't

. ...........

Trumps hard stand on abortion is a call out of women. We will now find out if women are indeed concerned about the life that lives inside their bodies or other considerations. Will women embrace his right to life for the unborn child or reject it?

Actually, if you can stomach watching Megyn Kelly you will learn much about American media propaganda techniques. It becomes a parody of character.

Where have you been all your life? Not watching or listening to the Propaganda machines? The Commie propaganda machines have been doing this since at least the 1930s The N.Y. Slimes worship of how great the U.S.S.R (Stalin) was in starving the kulaks in the Ukrain. Some N.Y. Times ass got a Pulitzer for those stories. Nothing has changed when it comes to the Propaganda on display
