Sorry if this is a repeat, I haven’t read the thread yet.
Peggy’s on Face the Nation - she feels women will feel a thrill ‘voting for a woman because she’s a woman’... which is dreadfully sexist.
Trump’s hired many women BECAUSE they were the best PERSON for the job NOT because of what they had or didn’t have between their legs. And in a Construction Company...
Peggy Noonan is insulting women - she’s so out of touch she doesn’t know it. It’s also why young women aren’t flocking to Hillary BECAUSE she’s a woman. They rightly see that as sexist and tacky.
Lying Ted is having a meltdown of epic proportions for all America to see. When anyone interviews him he never says what he wants to do for America,instead he starts all sentences with Donald this and Donald that. Then goes on to tell you how liberal Trump and if you like Obama you will love Trump. No one ever shuts him up him and tells him to quit lying. If they did maybe the crazy SOB would withdraw from the race, but the media hates Trump so much they put up with the unhinged immigrant.
They don’t shut up Cruz because they love the fact he is suppressing the conservative vote for Trump in November. Team Cruz-Clinton. How pathetic.
They are RATaganda talking points. I hear the RATs throwing out the same fax memo in the discussion panel. The "women problem" is their main trump card.
Trump is so harsh and insulting to women
Only certain women, and what's wrong with that, what about their precious equal rights? They should be able to take it. They can't have it both ways.
It's a fake perception fabricated by the RATs and RINOs.
and foreigners.
Another lie. He opposes job-stealing illegal invaders and the murdering-rapists from Bassackwardstan.
Trump is the cult of the strongman.
Good, we need that.
Embracing Trump destroys conservatism
His is the most conservative message I've heard in years.
Trump's immigration policy is hateful.
He brought this issue to the forefront, nobody else would be talking about it. The criminal invaders, murdering rapists and the Mexican government desperately deserve our scorn, disgust and pushback.
Do not buy isolationism.
Make them reimburse us.
They can provide their own troops to hold the ground we blow up. We need the jobs here making bombs to sell them.
So why didn't Bush 43 get a SOFA in place before he left? Why didn't Bush speak out forcefully when Obama pulled out? Where were all the Reps screaming for us to leave a residual force in Iraq? Answer: The American people wanted us out and the politicians were not going to oppose it.
Graham and the neocons supported the take down of Gaddafi. Graham supported arming the Syrian rebels despite not knowing who they really were. He supported no-fly zones in Syria risking a confrontation with the Russians.
I supported going into Iraq. Much of the problem was due to the way the first Gulf War ended under Bush 41. Scowcroft and Powell failed to destroy Iraq's armed forces in Kuwait when they had the chance. We could have taken Saddam out then when he set fire to the oil wells in Kuwait.
The stated reason we didn't take down Saddam was that it was not part of mission of the massive international coalition we had put in place to oust the Iraqis from Kuwait. However, the Saudis wanted us to take out Saddam as part of our agreement with them to use their territory to launch our attacks. We stopped when we had victory within our grasp. The truce/ceasefire agreement we had with Iraq set the stage for the second Gulf War.
Graham is an unapologetic globalist.
It goes beyond "globalism." The political class is bought and paid for by their corporate paymasters and special interests. American interests and workers are secondary if they are considered at all. In the meantime our military is being devastated and worn out. The number of tours that the military must spend in the war zones is unsustainable. It is enervating and discouraging. And then the politicians squander all the sacrifices that have been made in blood and treasure. This is how great powers decline and fall.
Still, they work better than the ones than Cruz is using!
Obama has a lot to lose if Hillary wins. The Clintons will take back control of the Dem party for the next 8 years. Obama will intrude any time he feels that any of his accomplishments are being undermined. It will be a constant power struggle. Biden on the other hand is an Obama disciple and will do what the One wants.
Maybe get some miniature Dachshunds, they use them to get prairie dogs. The full-sized ones were bred to kill badgers.
Pretty slick.
Problem is we have all the enthusiasm on our side. Trump is bringing in so many new voters that it won't matter if they are pubbies or dems they will vote for him anyway. No telling what states will be in play.I still say its landlside Trump in the general.
If the Rats simply ignore Bernie's voters by inserting Biden in when Hill washes out (for whatever reason), Bernie's voters may indeed turn out for Trump to pay the Rats back.
I guess his fax machine isn’t working.
Agreed. Bernie is more successful than they had planned. He will demand a lot in return for support of the Dem ticket. He presents a similar quandry for the Dems as Trump does for the GOP. How do prevent the alienation of their supporters in the General Election?
Excellent analysis. Mr. Trump has done more to elevate and advance women while Hillary has even sat by and watched them be victimized by her husband no less! Mr. Trump looks for the best in all people and encourages them to pursue their dreams and achieve great things.
Moreover, as a lifelong democrat in Maryland, Mr. Trump’s impact on me was so profound that I switched to the GOP so that I could vote for him last week. My main concern is our national security and defeating terrorism, Mr. Trump makes me feel as though he will exhaust every measure to protect our national interests! I love how he understands how critical it is to be unpredictable. We cannot win by telegraphing strategy.
I thought Peggy Noonan was more sophisticated and sober than this. Sadly, she fails to grasp what genuinely matters to so so many woman, like me, who care about competence and appreciate strong, principled leadership qualities!!!
He doesn't need to gen up any "third party" I'm sure the SPUSA can spring to life in a heartbeat, thrilled to let Burny put them on the map.
Juan was pushing this meme today. However, he misspoke when he said that even if Trump were to flip OH, FL, PA, and MI, he would still lose. Not true if you look at the 2012 electoral map and total up the numbers.
OH, PA, and FL total 67 electoral votes which are alone enough to tilt the election to Trump assuming he retains the same states that Romney won.
Great points... and welcome to the family edie...
Mini Dachshunds!
Borrow one and train him. (they’re also wiggly nice and friendly to humans)
Funny you should mention about the dachshunds. For one thing, I once had a dschhund and, indeed, he did dig up the moles, one time getting a live one and running around the yard like the hero he thought he was, the mole hanging from his mouth by his tail, screeching and screaming like....well like a dachshund had it hanging by its tail.
BUT....I got an American bull dog....don’t know much about this dog, but I kind of think she’s a mole hunter. These dogs are known to be helpful finding mushrooms and such.
So why not moles?
We shall see.
Just watched Lindsay Graham telling us to vote for Ted Cruz, lecturing us.
And how about Boehner calling Cruz Lucifer?
Which is one of my favorite new shows by the way, the character of Lucifer played by what has to be the handsomest man on the planet.
Heh.....hell with Lindsay and Boehner hating Cruz so much, makes me rethink my vote, or NOTvote, for the guy.
I think just with the enthusiasm factor and new voters alone our side will carry Fla. Va. and Ohio to begin with NC shouldn’t be a problem either. Other than that its hard to say what state will be in play but I definitely look for some surprises.
