trump is serious!!!!!

[Scooter]

Apparently the Scots weren't quite done with him. Some additional well wishers had this to say about him:

"you utter Twonk"

"you sentient enema"

"you leather faced, shit-tobogganist"

"you tiny fingered Cheeto-faced ferret wearing shitgibbon"

"you are a fuck-knuckle...you twat stick"

[Jarlaxle]

Matters not, as you well know...Massachusetts has voted Democrat in lock-step for thirty years now. Just shuffle to the poll, moo softly, vote straight-ticket "D", then shuffle home to chew your cud.

Haven't you left in disgust yet?

Yes, the most educated state in the nation has been reliably Democratic for decades at the Presidential level. But hardly a straight ticket. That doesn't stop the Trumpanzees from making a play for the state, despite the fact that the Republican Governor openly refuses to support his party's nominee.


And in any event, the bigger the win for HRC the better.

Charlie Baker would be a Democrat in about 40 states...he's only a Republican when grading on the Bay State's moonbat curve.

[Burning Petard]

"Would be a Democrat" A Republican is anyone who says they are Republican. The presumed nominee for the presidential GOP ticket, for example. And that is true in all 50 states plus Guam, the American Virgin Islands, DC, and Puerto Rico.

Psst, "Romneycare" is named for the former governor of which state?

Does it HURT to be this stupid, Ozzie?

[BoSoxGal]

Watching this on History Channel, anybody seen it?...

I watched segments of this doc and it appeared to praise Drumpf more than vilify him. And then at 1:44:06, with no resolution, it abruptly ends. So, what did I miss... or is that Part 2?

Sorry I watched it on the cable and didn't test the YouTube link.

Been a while since I heard anything about Trump's potential running mate.

I suggest Robert F. McDonnell, former Governor of Virginia. He has recently been in the news with the Supremes ruling in his favor. He has an impeccable resume to balance Trump. He has real military experience, compared to Trump's time wearing a ROTC uniform in high school. McDonnell actually spent time on active duty as a military hospital apply officer. He has a great record on conservative issues as Governor of Virginia. He has solid credentials as an Evangelical Christian, with a JD degree from Regents University in Virginia Beach. (That is the school that specializes in training students to become politicians and government functionaries. It proudly takes the name 'Regents' because it is the fundamental belief of the school that their graduates are acting as regents until Jesus comes back to run everything as a complete autocrat) So of course McDonnell has a firm grounding in Christian morals and ethics.

The Trump/McDonnell ticket--we know what made America great.

You just contradicted your own statement that Mass. voters always elect Democrats. I believe that makes you the stupid one. So, does it hurt?

Listening to a live Oompa Loompa speech on CNN - he finally has a real campaign manager and his speeches are being written by people who have what he lacks, brains.

We could be screwed.

[Big RR]

Give him time--he'll screw himself--he can't help it.

[Lord Jim]

Yeah, I saw a little of that...

He quoted Washington and Hamilton; he certainly didn't come up with that on his own...he even had some actual statistics...weird...

I don't know where he was speaking, but that back drop behind him looked like a cave wall on an alien planet...

He did manage to work in at-least one self-congratulatory bare-assed lie...

He claimed that he had "shamed" Hillary into opposing the TPP agreement...

Clinton's decision to not support the TPP had nothing to do with Drumpf; it was a bone she threw to the left in her party to try and peel off some Sanders supporters...

The same reason she came out against the pipeline...

ETA:

Trump's opposition to the TPP is yet another example of the core element that lies at the heart of nearly all Trump policy positions...

Incoherence...

On the one hand, he constantly jumps up and down about how we're being screwed over by China, and then a pacific trade agreement comes along that specifically doesn't include China, (n fact one of the primary reasons for the agreement is to create a market to compete against China) and he's against that too...

[Burning Petard]

I listened to the entire speech, live and uncensored. I turned it off when the talking heads began to tell me what Trump had just said. I heard him say, among other things, that our problems come from leadership that worships globalization. Sorry, it is not globalization, it is bottom line profit.

Not one word about the decline of the middle class tied to the decline of labor unions. Or the superiority of American industrial production tied to the destruction of industrial capacity in Europe and Asia by WWII. Or the resistance of American industry to invest in re-moderization.Make America wealthy again? Do I hear that nasty phrase lurking in the background--wealth redistribution?

Make America great again with more American energy mines. I don't think he means Wind Power Turbine Farms. Bring back the air pollution that once was so famous in Pittsburgh. Coal fired steel mills. I used to live in sight of one in Sheffield Steel, Kansas City Mo.
He talked about motorcycles. I remember the billboards about "You meet the nicest people on a Honda" when nobody in America made anything like a Honda Super Hawk with an engine that red-lined at 12,000rpm or a scooter like the Lambretta (sold by Monkey Wards and Sears sold the Vespa under their own label long before Honda came to America)

Just what is wrong with Catsup and Tomato juice from Canada? What is so horrible about NAFTA, beyond the unsafe trucks and drivers out of Mexico. No more federal money to enforce those hiway safety rules. Oh yeah. Trump is gonna end all those pesky federal work rules that are hurting business, like clean water regs for dry cleaners and safety harness for roofers. Great jobs will be coming with Trump. I guess any job at all is great, no matter what the low hourly rate and lack of benefits might be. Unsaid, but clearly implied was "And Mexico will pay for it" via import duties.

There is a respectable school of economic history that says the Great Depression of the 20th Century was caused by international trade wars, the kind of thing Trump is advocating in his speech today.

That background was bailed of compressed scrap metal. The speech was at a metal recycling plant West of Pittsburgh

When Trump says he will do something, you can bank on it.

But the check will probably bounce.

Best one yet

I'm prepared now to predict that Hillary Clinton will defeat Donald Trump with a landslide vote. I would not normally bet on the majority of voters making the right decision, but Trump's continuous display of lack of knowledge has got to become more and more obvious, even to some of the narrow-minded people.

The media shows something new and inconsistent about Trump almost every day. As the election gets closer I'm counting on the voters to take this election more seriously and realistically.

I have spoken.

P.S. I predicted John Kerry and Al Gore would be elected too, so I'm due for a win...

[wesw]

well, for what its worth, I am gonna vote a straight republican ticket.

crazy, I know, but I predict that most trump voters will do the same.

I also predict that he will fricassee a large number of repub incumbents and establishment elites as soon as he officially gets the nomination....

...and I m ok with that.

fricasseed elites..., the other white meat!

[Bicycle Bill]

I also predict that he will fricassee a large number of repub incumbents and establishment elites as soon as he officially gets the nomination....

...and I m ok with that.

When the French did that back in 1789, they called it the Reign of Terror.
When Stalin did it, they called it a purge.
If Trump does it, we here in America will call it the destruction of the Republican Party.

Anyone for resurrecting the Whigs?
