Sharyl Attkisson’s Full Measure Unauthorized minors crossing the U.S. southern border with Mexico are now facing dangers in America worse than those they fled. Full Measure investigates.
I am of the understanding that Paul Manafort is usually geared toward managing delegate operations and handling convention duties. However, I hope he will stay aboard the Trump Train and continue guiding Mr. Trump throughout the General Election. He reduces interviewers to putty in his hands and even instills considerable trepidation!!
It may not be Cruz at all, but the fear of D. Trump getting in?
What drives the hatred so?
Cruz is just the face, a happenstance. The "thing" being protected is an oligarchy that tolerates ineffective dissent.
I don't follow Limbaugh any more, but did years ago. This is not the first time he's buried or misrepresented facts and misled his audience (and in some cases his opinion would have made a difference, never mind the facts - e.g., government shutdown under Newt), not by a long shot.
Here is her position on immigration:
Securing our border is one of the most pressing issues for Arizonans. That should be our first priority, not amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants.
America is a nation of laws. With tens of millions of illegal immigrants in the country and thousands regularly crossing our border, it is simply unrealistic to worry about issues like guest worker programs until we secure the border. We must stop the flow of those entering illegally and ensure that the border is secured.
Border Security is National Security
Secure our border NOW
No amnesty
No free rides for programs Americans have paid into
No more political games
McCain is not popular among Reps in AZ, especially in Maricopa County.
Just finished watching “Fox News Sunday.”
The market is a wide open for a motivated entrepreneur to start a true “conservative” cable channel. At the moment there isn’t one.
The worker bees were his original support, for telling it like it is, why he was so refreshing and popular.
Ironically, it is what propels the current front runner, honesty and no kneeling before the PC gods.
MANAFORT: Well, he thinks it's important that the country be unified and that his appeal be presented in such a way that his message is clear. But, of course, he is the head of the Republican Party, he wants the party to get behind him and support him.There has never been a candidate -- a nominee for president of the United States who had every Republican supporting him and everybody accepting every single position of a presidential candidate. Ronald Reagan had the same issues when he was trying to put the party together in 1980. ...
WALLACE: How far is Trump willing to go to sign on to the agenda of Paul Ryan?
MANAFORT: Well, let's make something very clear. Donald Trump just won a Republican primary. He won it overwhelmingly.
The largest turnouts in the history of Republican voters in all of the primaries and he is the historic leader now of getting votes as a Republican nominee. So, it's his agenda that has just been cemented as what the American people or at least Republicans and independents who voted for him want.
There will be a process. There will be meetings of minds. There's a lot that unites the leadership in the Congress as well as Donald Trump.
But the important thing to remember is the national titular head of the party is the nominee of the Republican Party. He just won that overwhelmingly, faster than anybody in Washington thought and running as an outsider against Washington.
So, his agenda is the people's agenda. He made it very clear. His vision was clear. He articulated it very well. There is no doubts to where he stands.
Presidential.
That is the most common path to success, FWIW. Ask anybody who has risen through the ranks of a business or a political organization or a trade organization.
Sunday Morning is nothing but RINOs on parade.
In Brit Hume's world, he is. Ryan was the choice to conserve and preserve the GOP establishment hold on the House, even though it was the Tea Party that gave the GOP control of the House after the disasters in 2006 and 2008.
Brown nosing. LOL
One other thought, and there is no doubt this happens too. A good propagandist doesn't have to start out with that intention. Many are recruited after they have developed rapport and trust with their listeners or readers.
LOL. Yep. And sometimes suggestible people are elevated by the bosses, IOW, not so much in the way of brown-nosing, just a sense by the boss that this person will be a faithful servant.
After a late night flight from my Island home on Maui and sleeping in a little this Sunday, I just wanted to thank both of you for another “newsy and on topic” thread here at FR.
One of my biggest disappointments during the 2012 campaign was the performance by Paul Ryan in the VP debate. I honestly thought that he would destroy old Joe, but to the contrary, managed to make Biden appear as presidential as Lincoln. What an epic fail on Ryan’s part as he left the battle with a clip full of bullets. The clown never got a shot off and just froze.
I would hope a man with his (previous) mindset would smell that a mile away.
perhaps he has, and is playing it both ways? Oh well, it will come out soon enough when the wash is hung out to dry in the sun.
Meanwhile, I listen for the entertainment value, and when no longer so, change the station.
On another note, while we are suspectin', shooting him down as a failure would be the coup of the decade for the left, and perhaps that is their intent all along, not the defeat of trump, but the defeat of Mr. Limbaugh.
Just watch Mc Cain support Trump and accept responsibility for the garbage the MSM dished out on Palin. Very supportive of Sarah. IOW he is scared shirtless of loosing his seat.
John Bayard Anderson (born February 15, 1922) is a former United States Congressman and Presidential candidate from Illinois. He was a U.S. Representative from the 16th Congressional District of Illinois for ten terms, from 1961 through 1981. Anderson was a Republican but ran as an independent candidate in the 1980 presidential election.
Anderson was at a crossroads. He seemed to have three options: to continue as a Republican despite the fact that the calendar was not friendly and he had lost three consecutive primaries in states where he needed to do well; to drop out of the race; or to mount an independent candidacy. The third option had a huge amount of support. The presumptive major party nominees, Carter and Reagan, then engendered little enthusiasm. Pollsters were finding that Anderson was much more popular across the country with all voters than he was in the Republican primary states. Without any campaigning, he was running at 22% nationally in a three-way race. With the support of one of the premier media strategists of the day, David Garth, Anderson decided to join the race.
Most of Anderson's original support came from Rockefeller Republicans, who were more liberal than Reagan, but it bled away. Many prominent intellectuals, including the author and activist Gore Vidal, All in the Family creator Norman Lear, and the editors of the liberal magazine The New Republic, also endorsed the Anderson campaign. He also had the support of many independents. Cartoonist Garry Trudeau's Doonesbury ran several strips sympathetic to the Anderson campaign. According to the recently published journals of Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis voted for Anderson, as did Schlesinger himself. Although the Carter campaign feared Anderson could be a spoiler, Anderson's campaign turned out to be "simply another option for frustrated voters who had already decided not to back Carter for another term. Polls found Anderson voters nearly as likely to list Reagan as their second choice as Carter."
Anderson did not carry a single precinct in the country. Anderson's finish was still the best showing for a third party candidate since George Wallace's 14% in 1968 and the sixth best for any such candidate in the 20th century (trailing Theodore Roosevelt's 27% in 1912, Robert LaFollette's 17% in 1924, and Ross Perot's 19% and 8% in 1992 and 1996, respectively.
-- ... perhaps that is their intent all along, not the defeat of trump, but the defeat of Mr. Limbaugh. --
I'm sure they'd put all of us in concentration camps if they could.
Nor anyone else in the media.
And on that note, I need to get rolling on the Sunday chores.
