trump is serious!!!!!

[Burning Petard]

Trump seems to be following the noble tradition of the last GOP presidential administration. "We create our own reality."

From the Washington Post for today: Trump gave a prepared speech for once, with even a teleprompter. So one would presume that someone would have looked this stuff up before writing it into his speech. Alas, there is no evidence that “scores” of “recent migrants” are charged with terrorism, and that for every case made public, there are “dozens and dozens more.”

'Course this is from the liberal press, owned by the mean capitalist Jeff Bezos, tor the story cannot be anything but a pack of lies.

Rasmussen has it 38-38, though this may be an outlier poll (and those 22% who say they will vote for another candidate or stay home could vote for one or the other). It highlights that assuming Trump wins the nomination, he has a chance to win the general election. His populist pablum is not conservative based so he will draw support from D's and independents. HRC has historically high negatives (exceeded only by Trump's) before we get to the ugly campaign ahead.

Trump accuses Cruz's father of helping JFK's assassin

Donald Trump on Tuesday alleged that Ted Cruz’s father was with John F. Kennedy’s assassin shortly before he murdered the president, parroting a National Enquirer story claiming that Rafael Cruz was pictured with Lee Harvey Oswald handing out pro-Fidel Castro pamphlets in New Orleans in 1963.

A Cruz campaign spokesperson told the Miami Herald, which pointed out numerous flaws in the Enquirer story, that it was “another garbage story in a tabloid full of garbage.”

“His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous,” Trump said Tuesday during a phone interview with Fox News. “What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it.”

“I mean, what was he doing — what was he doing with Lee Harvey Oswald shortly before the death? Before the shooting?” Trump continued. “It’s horrible.”

Trump’s tangent followed his rebuke of Rafael Cruz using the pulpit to court evangelicals for his son.

“I implore, I exhort every member of the body of Christ to vote according to the word of God and vote for the candidate that stands on the word of God and on the Constitution of the United States of America,” Rafael Cruz said in a video clip aired by Fox News. “And I am convinced that man is my son, Ted Cruz. The alternative could be the destruction of America.”

Asked to respond, Trump called it a disgrace. “I think it’s a disgrace that he’s allowed to do it. I think it’s a disgrace that he’s allowed to say it,” he said, before touting his support from Jerry Falwell Jr. and other evangelical leaders.

“You look at so many of the ministers that are backing me, and they’re backing me more so than they’re backing Cruz, and I’m winning the evangelical vote,” Trump continued. “It's disgraceful that his father can go out and do that. And just — and so many people are angry about it. And the evangelicals are angry about it, the way he does that.”

“But I think it's horrible,” he added. “I think it's absolutely horrible that a man can go and do that, what he's saying there.”

How can Trump continue to make such asinine and outrageous statements and not yet have been ridiculed out of the race?

Personally, I'm to the point where I see Dumb-old Trump as nothing more than a loose cannon on deck, and I am in vehement opposition of his being involved with the operations of the government of the United States in any way, shape, or form .... and that extends all the way down to being one of the guys with a broom and a garbage pail on wheels sweeping up the confetti after the inaugural parade.

When you figure that one out Bill, please let me know...

As demonstrated by the video of Cuban-Canadian anchor-baby Teodoro Cruz's encounter with them, Trump supporters are wholly impervious to facts or reason. In fact, the more outlandish and incredible Trump's claims, the more ardently they support him and ignore all contrary evidence, with their fingers firmly planted in their ears and screaming "Lalalalalalala I can't hear you." See, e.g., wesw.

Consider the voters.

Trump's lying, mendacious, evil, incompetent, mental, racist, sexist, ignorant and foul rise to almost the top has already had one extremely awful consequence. There it is, right below LJ's post and right above this one.

Someone against oligarchy supporting an oligarch. The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.
