I've known women who say they hate a particular man, and ended up marrying him. Could be the case here between Megyn and Don. His wife is pushing later forties, time to trade her in maybe.

OldBrownsFan Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Donald Trump's rivals and Fox News' debate moderators laid out a clear and factual case on Thursday that the billionaire's policies were unworkable; that he regularly shifted his positions; and that he had engaged in business practices he routinely denounces on the campaign trail. Trump, in turn, bragged about the size of his penis and promised to force Americans to commit war crimes. Yet, he remains the odds-on favorite to win the Republican nomination. There's not much more anyone can do but wait for the voters to weigh in on Trump, who has so far thrived while being caught telling blatant lies and making bigoted and misogynist statements that would instantly destroy a different candidate. It is possible the attacks will reach critical mass before March 15, when wins in Ohio and Florida would likely secure him the nomination, or maybe his fans will see his bullying and obscene retorts as an appealing sign of strength like they have to this point. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/analysis-trump-s-flip-flops-exposed-rivals-still-vow-back-n531616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 It's partly the fault of the republican establishment - they want to coddle middle of the roaders, to try to stay away from the evil spectre of the rabid, diseased, corrupt leftwing sombeiches. It's also the fault of the left. They've cultivated a base of entitlement, bought and paid for dependency, enabling irresponsibility, ...with race baiting, class warfare, and incessant, nasty bitching about every single aspect of life that isn't a free ride. The man who should be running, is Thume, S. Dakota. Or somebody like him. Cruz is the real deal, warts and all, about the Constition. Kasich could win next election. But Trump... if he goes ahead and runs, wins... I hope he turns out to be more Reagan than Jimmy Peanutbrain Carter. But I just ...don't.... trust him. Obamao was a knee jerk reaction... Trump is a po'd, frustrated message to the Republican party. Fix things, quit being wusses and stand up like real leaders, instead of cowering from problems, and appeasing the vicious left. That explains both Cruz, and Trump. I just trust Cruz to be who he is. Trump, is like Obamao saying he believes in real marriage (LIE), our 2nd Amendment (big ass LIE), and our military (big ass LIE), etc. The only hope our country has to save itself is for the reps to have a Reagan/Thume/Kasich/Carson in the WH. So, what do he have? Cruz, the closest to the above, yet still far away, and Trump, the belligerent circus barker/celebrity/con artist. And the dems, an avowed, no accomplishment but bitching about everything loser, and a nasty, stinking hateful wicked witch of the extreme left liberal "elite" kind, who are having a race to see who can bitch the most, and promise the most utopian socialist free stuff to their dem voters.... I think every American should know that God really is there, and go find a nice tree in their yard, or a park, or their woods.... sit quietly and watch squirrels and birds... think about mountains, and stars, and endlessly flowing rivers, the vast oceans... the endless universe... and think on how mankind didn't invent that stuff.... and pray, because we are going to need God's help to get our country back on track.....

calfoxwc Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 and, I know what Steve and others are saying. Stopping the real Americans from sending a message to them... will really screw up the republican party. But, losing the next election because they nominated a loudmouth pandering celebrity... would also screw up the republican party. The democratic party is already permanently a wasteland of asswipe,..... Remember how Minnesota elected stupid jesse ventura, the pro wrastler, to be gov? Yeah, that send a message that politics were a joke. But the joke was on the people of Minnesota who voted for him. That didn't work out well. If somebody asks Trump about unions, he'd surely say he loves unions.... but later he'd say he'd never allow unions in any of his businesses.... That's how I see trump. He is a pandering, a skilled manipulator... and if you read Obamao's book, Obamao admits he was good at telling people what they wanted to hear...

Bush and domestic policy adviser to Ronald Reagan We have a very serious political problem in this country. Our system of government works best when it is balanced between roughly equal political parties, one on the center-right and the other on the center-left. Unfortunately, what we have is a centrist Democratic Party and a far-right Republican Party. Therefore, the system is out of balance, creating gridlock even as the public cries out for action on serious problems such as our deteriorating public infrastructure, epitomized by that in Flint, Michigan. I believe that Republicans made a deal with the devil in 2009 when they embraced the Tea Party, a populist group who were just mad as hell and weren't going to take it anymore. In Congress, the Tea Party has been aggressive in destroying all the norms that made it work for more than 200 years. The government was shut down, increases in the debt limit are constantly at risk, nominations to even the most minor administration positions are blocked and, now, the president has been denied the opportunity, which is his right under the Constitution, to name a new justice to the Supreme Court. Flush with such "victories," extremists of all shapes and sizes were attracted to the Tea Party ranks—Christian religious fanatics, gun nuts, anti-gay bigots, nativists opposed to all nonwhite immigrants, secessionists, conspiracy theorists and, of course, racists. What binds them together is hatred. Hatred of government, yes, but also hatred of liberals, minorities, homosexuals, non-fundamentalist Christians, environmentalists, feminists, and many other groups. Donald Trump, to his credit, figured this out instinctively and pandered to it brilliantly. He channeled the anger and hatred of many whites on the fringes of the economy and society who blame "others" for stagnant wages and other real problems that Republican gridlock in Washington has prevented legislative action on. Trump understood that these people didn't so much want solutions to these problems as someone in power to acknowledge their existence and give voice to their frustrations. Nature abhors a vacuum and also abhors gridlock. Gridlock, in turn, creates fertile soil for fascism—the simplistic desire to get stuff done, much of which does need to get done—regardless of the political cost. Trump taps into this desire very, very well with his long and carefully developed persona as a brilliant businessman who gets things done. He was perfectly positioned to capitalize on the true populist nature of the Tea Party, which cannot be easily characterized as either right or left in terms of policy. Trump offers them a mishmash of left and right policies—attacks on the war in Iraq and promises of new public infrastructure for the left along with right-wing favorites such as big tax cuts and a wall across the Mexican border. Trump's opponents never figured him out and now it is too late as he is poised to win the Republican nomination. Many in the Republican establishment are horrified, fearing that he will lead the party to a historic defeat in November. I agree with their fears and that is why I voted for Trump in my state's primary on Super Tuesday. I believe that only when the GOP suffers a massive defeat will it purge itself of the crazies and forces of intolerance that have taken control of it. Then, and only then, can the GOP become a center-right governing party that deserves to occupy the White House. The death of today's Republican Party is, therefore, necessary to its survival, in my opinion. And Donald Trump can make it happen, which is why I voted for him.

Therefore, the system is out of balance, creating gridlock even as the public cries out for action on serious problems such as our deteriorating public infrastructure, epitomized by that in Flint, Michigan. Wrong. There is more evidence to show the democratic party has moved farther to the left in the last 20 years than the republicans have moved farther to the right. I believe that Republicans made a deal with the devil in 2009 when they embraced the Tea Party, a populist group who were just mad as hell and weren't going to take it anymore. In Congress, the Tea Party has been aggressive in destroying all the norms that made it work for more than 200 years. Who has the democrats made a deal with devil with: Black lives matter? The new black panthers? the rise of socialism with presidential candidates like Sanders? Maybe the Tea party were people tired of seeing republicans negotiate badly with the democrats? The latest budget *agreement* passed by the republicans was praised by democrat Nancy Pelosi who boasted the republicans "gave away the store" to make a deal. Maybe there are some republicans who don"t want republicans giving away the store? The government was shut down, increases in the debt limit are constantly at risk, nominations to even the most minor administration positions are blocked and, now, the president has been denied the opportunity, which is his right under the Constitution, to name a new justice to the Supreme Court. The democrats would do the same thing if the shoe were on the other foot. Who is this guy trying to fool? Obama has put more judges on the bench than most other presidents. Flush with such "victories," extremists of all shapes and sizes were attracted to the Tea Party ranks—Christian religious fanatics, gun nuts, anti-gay bigots, nativists opposed to all nonwhite immigrants, secessionists, conspiracy theorists and, of course, racists. What binds them together is hatred. Hatred of government, yes, but also hatred of liberals, minorities, homosexuals, non-fundamentalist Christians, environmentalists, feminists, and many other groups. The rhetoric against the Tea party is laughable. Wanting smaller government is not hating government. Not agreeing with gay marriage does not mean hating anyone. Handing out $135,000 fine for a Christian not baking a wedding cake for a gay couple seems a lot more like hate to me towards anyone not agreeing or approving of gay marriage. Donald Trump, to his credit, figured this out instinctively and pandered to it brilliantly. He channeled the anger and hatred of many whites on the fringes of the economy and society who blame "others" for stagnant wages and other real problems that Republican gridlock in Washington has prevented legislative action on. Trump understood that these people didn't so much want solutions to these problems as someone in power to acknowledge their existence and give voice to their frustrations. Finally a little resemblance to the truth. Republican candidates for years gave lip service to securing the border but were bought off by the chamber of commerce who want cheap labor and open borders along with the democrats who see illegal immigrants as a new voting block that will keep them in power. Nature abhors a vacuum and also abhors gridlock. Gridlock, in turn, creates fertile soil for fascism—the simplistic desire to get stuff done, much of which does need to get done—regardless of the political cost. Trump taps into this desire very, very well with his long and carefully developed persona as a brilliant businessman who gets things done.

Then, and only then, can the GOP become a center-right governing party that deserves to occupy the White House. What will it take for the democrats to become a center left party? There used to be conservative democrats but they have gone the way of the dinosaur. The death of today's Republican Party is, therefore, necessary to its survival, in my opinion. And Donald Trump can make it happen, which is why I voted for him. The death of the republican party? The republican party controls the House, controls the Senate and have many more republican governors across the nation. Seems like they may be at least doing some things right? Donald Trump has never held public office and is blowing hot air much of it he has to take back because he doesn't know what he talking about. But he is going to save the country?

OldBrownsFan Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Interesting: The One Weird Trait That Predicts Whether You’re a Trump Supporter And it’s not gender, age, income, race or religion. If I asked you what most defines Donald Trump supporters, what would you say? They’re white? They’re poor? They’re uneducated? You’d be wrong. In fact, I’ve found a single statistically significant variable predicts whether a voter supports Trump—and it’s not race, income or education levels: It’s authoritarianism. That’s right, Trump’s electoral strength—and his staying power—have been buoyed, above all, by Americans with authoritarian inclinations. And because of the prevalence of authoritarians in the American electorate, among Democrats as well as Republicans, it’s very possible that Trump’s fan base will continue to grow. My finding is the result of a national poll I conducted in the last five days of December under the auspices of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, sampling 1,800 registered voters across the country and the political spectrum. Running a standard statistical analysis, I found that education, income, gender, age, ideology and religiosity had no significant bearing on a Republican voter’s preferred candidate. Only two of the variables I looked at were statistically significant: authoritarianism, followed by fear of terrorism, though the former was far more significant than the latter. Authoritarianism is not a new, untested concept in the American electorate. Since the rise of Nazi Germany, it has been one of the most widely studied ideas in social science. While its causes are still debated, the political behavior of authoritarians is not. Authoritarians obey. They rally to and follow strong leaders. And they respond aggressively to outsiders, especially when they feel threatened. From pledging to “make America great again” by building a wall on the border to promising to close mosques and ban Muslims from visiting the United States, Trump is playing directly to authoritarian inclinations. Not all authoritarians are Republicans by any means; in national surveys since 1992, many authoritarians have also self-identified as independents and Democrats.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Another reason NOT to vote for Cruz: POLITICAL Caitlyn Jenner wants to be Ted Cruz's 'trans ambassador' Published March 04, 2016FoxNews.com Facebook389 Twitter0 Email Print Cast member Caitlyn Jenner participates in a panel for the E! Entertainment Television series "I Am Cait" during the Television Critics Association (TCA) Cable Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, California, January 14, 2016. (Reuters) Ted Cruz has a supporter in Caitlyn Jenner. While the reality star has not come out to fully endorse the Texas senator, Jenner told Advocate magazine "I like Cruz." "I think he's very conservative, and a great constitutionalist, and a very articulate man. I haven't endorsed him or anything like that. But I also think, he's an evangelical Christian, and probably one of the worst ones when it comes to trans issues." Jenner even met Cruz about a year ago and said "he was very nice." Advocate magazine transgender journalist Dawn Ennis also asked about why Jenner has remained a conservative in recent years. "I get it. The Democrats are better when it comes to these types of social issues. I understand that," the 66-year-old responded. "Number one, if we don't have a country, we don't have trans issues. We need jobs. We need a vibrant economy. I want every trans person to have a job. With $19 trillion in debt and it keeps going up, we're spending money we don't have. Eventually, it's going to end. And I don't want to see that. Socialism did not build this country. Capitalism did. Free enterprise. The people built it. And they need to be given the opportunity to build it back up." Jenner perked up when Ennis suggested the former Olympian become Cruz's "trans ambassador" should Cruz get elected. "Wouldn't it be great, let's say he goes on to be president," Jenner said, "and I have all my girls on a trans issues board to advise him on making decisions when it comes to trans issues. Isn't that a good idea?" Advertisement ON OUR RADAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
