Jeb has lost something like 50 lbs since last year. Hey props to the boy he really wants it.

For a weakling with low energy, I mean.

rube, if you had just signed that as, "trumpato" it would have been 'roll on the floor' funny.

you are really getting this humour thing.....

laughing at yourself is the hardest part, but I have confidence that you will soon get it, its easy.... (see what I did there?)

Don't hold your breath waiting for rube to start laughing at himself anytime soon wes...

He hates being in a big crowd...

Don't hold your breath waiting for rube to start laughing at himself anytime soon wes...

I would say never, persons with autism spectrum disorder have a particularly difficult time at self-deprecating humor.

"You can't insult your way into the Presidency..."

Then why does Trumpty-Dumpty keep trying it?

-"BB"-

I just think that it is hilarious that bush says, "you can t insult your way to the presidency" then proceeds to insult trump, to shift his whole campaign into insult mode, not only against trump, but he insults almost everyone except Kasich in his tv ads.

I realize that America is pretty dumb, but even kids are picking up on bush s hypocrisy . he has fallen to the lowly position of designated attack dog for the party, a position which has been occupied by every other candidate who has lost hope of winning...

Jindal, perry, graham ..., all traveled that path and took the piss for the team before "suspending" their campaigns. Kasich did it in his quest to be VP...,now bush.

marco Rubio is your last best hope , establishment.....

...its either him (and it ain t gonna be him) or cruz (ha ha ha ) or TRUMP!!!!

[Lord Jim]

Wes, you, like most Trumpanzees, (and certainly like the group I saw interviewed that I posted about earlier) dwell in this strange alternative reality where it is Trump who is somehow the victim of a torrent of unprovoked insults and unfair attacks...

While back here in this timeline, the reality is that Donald Trump spews more insults and attacks in one day in a single speech, than have been directed towards him by the entire rest of the GOP field combined, during the whole course of the campaign...

It's typical for a nasty, vulgar bully like Trump to also whine and try to play the victim, and in this case he's got a Greek Chorus of sycophantic followers ready to lap up this transparent BS and also spout it...

[wesw]

victim?

hardly. that is so laughable I can t believe that you said it....

...about me anyway, I have no idea about what some bunch of yahoos that you referenced thinks.

he is the walrus, he is the eggman...., coo coo ca chooooooooooooooooo

I , like trump, am the happy warrior in this melee and I am as pleased as punch about how things have gone so far in this cycle.

except for the fact that Hillary is still viable, maybe, if she doesn t get locked up....

...and Bernie should have gone ahead and ripped the democratic party apart too, but he doesn t have the necessary equipment to take on Hillary, trump does.....

you gotta break some eggs to make an omelet ....

out with the old , in with the new....

you can t build on a rotten foundation.....

"Mr Trump..., tear down these parties."

[MajGenl.Meade]

He's imitating the poorly educated, unthinking slobs he believes might vote for him

[Lord Jim]

And like any good salesman, he's telling them exactly what they want to hear...

This is why they think he's so "honest"; people always seem to be honest when they're telling you what you already believe...

[wesw]

geez guys, I hate to help you save your party but i see your need and i feel your pain, so i ll throw you a bone....


....there is no way that belly-aching and invective hurling and insult will solve your trump problem.

your party must present a vision, a vision that must entail HUGE change from the status quo.

i don t think that you can do it, but i m pulling for you.

i have a strange feeling that the Dems are gonna end up stuck with Bernie "the belt" Sanders vs Donald "the Donald" Trump.....

[wesw]

look, reform of our elections and their finance, and reform of the way laws and regulations and policies and LAWMAKERS and presidents are bought and sold, seems like an insurmountable mountain.....

....but if your faith is strong and a mountain stands in your way, you can tell that mountain to move, pray with faith and it will move for you

now, there were three guys debating on how they were gonna pray this mountain outta their darned way, and the first one says....

"i m gonna drop to my knees and beseech the lord for a miracle, and I m just gonna tell that mountain to move...."

the second guy says...

"well, the lord like to be praised in joyous song, so I m gonna sing and dance my prayers and praise and just sing that ol' mountain away..."

finally, the third guy says....

'guys, I have faith about the size of a mustard seed, but I know that the lord is the light and the truth, so I will move this mountain with a candle...."

"....but I also know that the lord helps those who help themselves, so...."

"...when I take my candle to that big ass pile of dynamite there, please join me in praying for Godspeed as I run like hell...."

[MajGenl.Meade]

And like any good salesman, he's telling them exactly what they want to hear...

This is why they think he's so "honest"; people always seem to be honest when they're telling you what you already believe...

Especially when it's simple boys-in-the-bar, knee-jerk, rabid generalization, racist and sexist, gormless vacuity.

[wesw]

see what I mean? what does meade s little tirade, be it genuine or facetious, accomplish? very little if anything.

trump had to make a splash to stand a chance, he had to play hardball to stand a chance, and he did and he does.

now, he can sit back and be more diplomatic, as invective and insult like meade s insults more people and drives more people away from the candidates who are engaging in it.

trump is only insulting politicians, bureaucrats, the media, big business, and foreigners.

stuff like meade s insults the electorate, and it doesn t only insult racists, sexists, and simple people.

that path leads to trouble, turn away..., turn away....

There's a saying about burning bridges, especially if you might need them to retreat across later.

If by some quirk of fate Dumbold J. Trump does become the next occupant of the Oval Office, he is going to need to have the support of at least three (and more likely four) of those five categories of people in order to accomplish anything at all.  He had better be careful just how far he alienates them.  Otherwise he will go down in history as the first POTUS ever who was a lame duck as soon as he was elected.

[wesw]

exactly bill, every candidate who calls trump supporters bigots has burned that bridge, at least in my case.

are bigots supporting trump? sure.

are most of them bigots? not even close, and when you call them a bigot you will not be likely to EVER get their vote, they will stay home or vote for Bernie first.

plenty of bigots support Obama too....
