I might go (only a 3 hour drive for me). Went to Obama's. Seeing history live and all that.

[Mitch]

It's hard for me to picture Trump keeping the train going after nomination, which is pretty much in the bag. If he can eviscerate Clinton, then I'll go watch the guy get his inauguration.

agree with DD (or whoever this is).

Rand Paul was my first choice but I've enjoyed Trump being like the Joker or Tony Montana to the phony shit show already in place. Nigga better watch his back though with the banking cartel. Eviscerating Clinton would be epic.

I live in NC so it's not too far of a drive for me either. I also went to the Obama inauguration for historical reasons. If Trump wins I will also go for historical reasons.

he still looks unstoppable so far. I'll get front row tickets to that magnanimous event

[hater]

Unstoppable!!!!!!

[hater]

It's happening!!!! President Donald Trump

[CosmicCowboy]

Gotta say I don't think he can be stopped. Kasich was counting on Michigan and got his ass kicked. Rubio was a complete strike out tonight. Cruz is meh. Trump is gonna go into the convention with the delegates to win.

[DMX7]

Yes he is. He will win Florida but maybe not Ohio.

[Reck]

Cruz will probably split states again.

[DMX7]

The presidential press conferences are going to be so fucking great. :toast

[CosmicCowboy]

Melania will be the hottest First Lady ever.

[DMX7]

Melania will be the hottest First Lady ever.

She is a smart woman too. I have respect for her. Bill would be a great first lady as well though.

Lmao if shillary were to win. Wonder if bill would be allowed in the white house :lol

Bimbo First Lady.

Gahs. We need to talk implants, my first big initiative.

[DMX7]

Not in the oval office!

[hater]

Lmao it'll be funny when Hillary goes on a euro trip and bill stays home alone. Nigga gonna be dancing in his briefs like Tom cruise

Of course that's not happening because Trump is a lock to annihilate her. But still its funny to picture it

[DMX7]

Just imagine Bill in the White House with less responsibility and more time.

[rmt]

Very premature. Idaho will probably go to Cruz. And Hawaii is a caucus which he does well in. I'm happy if Cruz doesn't make 50% in Idaho (then it's winner take all).

[SnakeBoy]

Can't wait to hear Trump's inauguration speech. No teleprompter, no written speech, just 7 1/2 hours of Trump saying whatever the fuck crosses his mind.

[HI-FI]

Just imagine Bill in the White House with less responsibility and more time.

:lol
oh shit. especially with Jeffrey Epstein on speed dial.

[boutons_deux]

He has hit his ceiling, can't get to or much above 40% among Repugs, and that won't be enough in the general.

He has been great dragging the Repugs into the trash-talking sewer, exposing the Repugs as paranoid, hate-filled, racist, angry/emotional, xenophobic, white-supremacist, exposing the Repug decades-long dog-whistled racist SUBtext with his blatant TEXT.

[Winehole23]

interesting factoid: weak fundraising and much lower than reported personal wealth, possibly preclude any third-party run by Trump


I’m not saying whether it would be a good idea for the GOP to deny him the nomination if he gets a plurality but not a majority of the delegates. But if it does, he won’t run third-party: He can’t afford it.

I direct you to his personal financial disclosure form (http://fortune.com/2016/03/02/donald-trump-tax-returns-income/), which said he had about $300 million in cash and marketable securities. That’s a lot of money! Stunningly, however, it is not enough money to run a major presidential campaign, which now clocks in at around $1 billion (http://elections.nytimes.com/2012/campaign-finance).


If Trump runs as a third-party candidate, the money to do so is going to have to come mostly out of his own pocket. The Republican Party’s traditional donors certainly aren’t going to help him. And so far, he’s shown no ability to raise the kind of staggering totals that, say, Bernie Sanders (http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/trackers/2016-03-07/sanders-says-he-s-gotten-5m-individual-donations-sees-maine-win) has managed to get from small donors. Trump’s campaign has raised just $25 million (https://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/candidate.php?id=N00023864), of which only about $8 million comes from sources other than Donald J. Trump. He’s raised less in small contributions than Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio have.

http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2016-03-07/donald-trump-doesn-t-have-enough-money

[Winehole23]

The fight within the Republican Party has been clarifying and even healthy in some ways, alerting the party's elites to a base of core supporters who were deeply unmoved by the Romney-Ryan platform of 2012. But the bleeding acrimony and outlandish juvenility of the Republican primary has managed to do for Clinton what she was incapable of accomplishing on her own: making her look presidential.http://theweek.com/articles/610496/how-republican-party-blew-best-shot-defeating-hillary-clinton

Eyup.

I have a hard time seeing how the GOP can recover from the damage to its credibility in time to win a general election.

Democrats will have a chance to make a solid case to independents that the GOP has lost its fucking mind, and can't be trusted with government at any level.

I wonder how the OP will spin losing in a landslide to Hillary Clinton in the fall. Good luck trying not to look like an idiot, hater

[boutons_deux]

GOP compensation for losing the WH is the absolute control they have over red, slave states at all levels, and enough assholes in the House to block anything from the Senate, and of course the House writes the checks, so they will continue their destructive austerity, fucking up govt to prove govt is fucked up.

GOP is scared shitless of losing the enough of the 24 Senate seats up for election (vs only 10 for Dems) to lose control, giving the Dem president power to fulfill judicial seats with progressives.

[hater]

:lmao its the Democratic Party who has lost it by nominating a neocon :lol

She got our ambassador killed, lets go ahead and make her commander in chief LOLz

[Winehole23]

barring the very unlikely eventualities of an HRC indictment or a terrorist attack on the USA, Trump will lose.

[Winehole23]

lol banging on about Benghazi instead of the intervention and aftermath. that was and remains the real scandal in Libya.

[baseline bum]

ISIS should execute an attack in the US. It would get Donald elected and then they'd get the war they want with us.

Agree. But banging on Shillary for the entire war is a bit extreme.

But the death of the ambassador is 99.9% on her. She was his direct boss

[Winehole23]

your sense of proportion is screwed up. it's 100% on the fuckers who killed him.

[hater]

your sense of proportion is screwed up. it's 100% on the fuckers who killed him.

Disagree. If you are sending your employee to make shady business deals with jihadists in Lybia. It's 99.9% your fault

[Winehole23]

Chris Stevens wasn't sent at the point of a gun. it was no secret that Libya was then, and still is, a dangerous place.

Diplomacy isn't for sissies.

I wouldn't hang your hat on that to have any traction with independents. It was beaten to death by the GOP in hopes of being An Issue. The only thing it really does is allow Democrats to keep making the case that the GOP has lost its fucking mind. The histeronics aren't fooling anyone.

That you think it does reminds me of Rove's comic relief shock on Nov 10, 2012.

Not cheerleading trump, tbh - my interests are vested in seeing the GOP and perhaps the two party system crumble so they can be rebuilt. Not going to try defending Bush or Obama either.

- ordered him to conduct shady arms deals with jihadist groups

Trump has been doing shady business for decades. Enploying illegals and under paying the fuck out of them.

He also has an ongoing case against him about the the fraudulent actions he committed with his fake university program.

Not to mention he gets audited every year (his own words) by the IRS. You don't get investigated by them if something isn't right.

He's got plenty of Babbage.

BTW, has Hillary being charged with any criminal doing? As far as we know she's under investigation for the emails. FBI hasn't either launched a criminal investigation against her or charged her with one.

I peg you for a realist, Reck, even though you overreact to any scrutiny Trump gets :lol so I'm sure you'll see what I'm saying here.

You know most of his baggage will be opened before general, IF he makes it that far because Kasich outright said he wants a brokered convention (fucker said it'd be exciting :lmao). Trump University case just had a prosecutor drop out, that thing is likely going to be nipped in the bud. Nobody really cares about Trump's baggage, every damn news outlet has been reporting for almost two days that Trump doesn't own the wine, water, magazine and steaks he showed off and pretty much proved he just made crap up - nobody cares whatsoever. The whole KKK thing, Romney desperately attacking him, outright saying he'll kick out illegals and ban muslims, "i'll bomb the shit out of ISIS", "my plan is only to make america great again, no details [sic]" and so much more. You can't fight Trump at his own game, he's like immune to any unprofessional attack.

Hillary? No matter what the status is about her FBI thing, a lot of people view her as a criminal - republicans AND democrats. Not a huge amount, but enough people to give Trump momentum if he started calling her a criminal regularly. She's disliked for bengazi, a lot of minority voters will not be happy about things she's said in the 90s and supporting the Iraq war will bite her in the ass again. She's running against a guy who will not grill her for anything significant, unlike Obama who schlonged her with the Iraq war support. If she's gonna beat Trump, it'll have to be by taking the high road and only talking about policy - something that she actually isn't too strong with imo.

I'll say this once and I'll say it again: Bernie is the slam dunk nomination for democrats, nobody in the GOP would have a shot against him because he talks policy and taking down wallstreet - the people eat that up. Trump would have almost no ammo against him.

[Reck]

I peg you for a realist, Reck, even though you overreact to any scrutiny Trump gets :lol so I'm sure you'll see what I'm saying here.

You know most of his baggage will be opened before general, IF he makes it that far because Kasich outright said he wants a brokered convention (fucker said it'd be exciting :lmao). Trump University case just had a prosecutor drop out, that thing is likely going to be nipped in the bud. Nobody really cares about Trump's baggage, every damn news outlet has been reporting for almost two days that Trump doesn't own the wine, water, magazine and steaks he showed off and pretty much proved he just made crap up - nobody cares whatsoever. The whole KKK thing, Romney desperately attacking him, outright saying he'll kick out illegals and ban muslims, "i'll bomb the shit out of ISIS", "my plan is only to make america great again, no details [sic]" and so much more. You can't fight Trump at his own game, he's like immune to any unprofessional attack.

Hillary? No matter what the status is about her FBI thing, a lot of people view her as a criminal - republicans AND democrats. Not a huge amount, but enough people to give Trump momentum if he started calling her a criminal regularly. She's disliked for bengazi, a lot of minority voters will not be happy about things she's said in the 90s and supporting the Iraq war will bite her in the ass again. She's running against a guy who will not grill her for anything significant, unlike Obama who schlonged her with the Iraq war support.

Donald Trump: CIA director ‘ridiculous’ on waterboarding...


Donald Trump is taking on CIA Director John Brennan on torture, saying Brennan’s pledge not to allow waterboarding is “ridiculous.”

Brennan said on NBC News Sunday that he would not allow enhanced interrogation tactics, including waterboarding, even if a future president ordered it.

“I think his comments are ridiculous,” Trump said on Fox News Monday. “I mean, they chop off heads and they drown people in cages with 50 in a cage, in big, steel heavy cages, drop them right into the water drown people, and we can’t water-board and we can’t do anything,” Trump said.

“And you know we’re playing on different fields,’ he continued. “And we have a huge problem with ISIS, which we can’t beat, and the reason we can’t beat them is we won’t use strong tactics, whether it’s this or other things.”

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/04/11/donald-trump-cia-director-ridiculous-waterboarding/82889190/

[Dirk Oneanddoneski]

He started on the wrong foot.

Right off the bat playing the women card.

did he?

Hillary Clinton effectively sealed her nomination last night. And Donald Trump almost certainly did the same, winning five states by larger margins than the polls and the pundits expected.

Why did Trump exceed expectations?

Probably lots of small reasons added together. But I’ll call out a few from the field of persuasion.

1. Trump’s “lyin’ Ted” linguistic kill shot is working its magic.

2. The so-called “rigged” nomination process has energized voters against the establishment. (Calling the primary system “rigged” was one of Trump’s best persuasion moves of all time.)

3. Trump’s dominant win in New York state made him seem inevitable for the first time. Voters like to be on the winning side.

4. Trump’s “crooked Hillary” and “stamina” linguistic kill shots tell Republican voters that Trump already has a harpoon in Clinton. She’ll bleed out before November. Republicans are warming to the matchup, despite polling that says Clinton beats Trump in a general election.

5. The “Tale of Two Trumps” story has convinced nearly everyone that Trump modifies his approach to the situation. Trump at a Trump rally is mostly stand-up comedy. Trump in a serious interview is a different character. Trump is completely transparent about his different personas, and people are starting to see it as strategy, not insanity.

6. Cruz’ approach to winning delegates without winning the popular vote looks smart and effective. But it also makes him look like the lawyer that he is. That’s not a good look.

7. The weather was agreeable (I think?), and big turnouts are good for Trump.

8. The hiring of Paul Manafort gives Trump top-shelf credibility as a serious contender. The number of people who believe Trump secretly does not want to win has now dropped to zero. (He wants to win.)

9. The invulnerability of Trump to every type of civilized attack is hard to ignore. He’s a winner in the process of winning. People like that.

10. Trump rolled out the “woman card” attack on Clinton. Expect lots of backlash and hollering about sexism. Also expect that 100% of the voting public knows that the “woman card” accusation is a persuasion death blow to Clinton’s campaign. And Trump is the only candidate alive who would dare say it out loud.

Trump’s “woman card” strategy is weapons-grade persuasion. It is a “high ground” maneuver with an “identity” angle. Either one of those approaches can be a kill shot. But together?

Holy sh*t.

I’ve not seen anything like it. The engineering is superb.

Trump will probably win with men for all the obvious reasons. But winning with women has until lately seemed impossible. So the “woman card” kill shot is aimed at women voters, not men. And what it does is flip the framing, as Trump likes to do.

Clinton framing: It is time for a woman president.

Trump framing: Gender is not a job qualification

I remind you that this is the year 2016. Trump’s message recognizes that gender should not be a hiring criteria. That’s the high ground. You can’t get higher.

And it gives women an identity choice. Do they pick the leader who says the “woman card” is a qualification for a good job? Or do they pick the leader who has a long record of promoting and mentoring women because he thinks gender should not be a qualification?

Landslide.

I think she will probably wind up beating Trump, I just think it's going to be a whole lot tighter than the Obama 08 steam roll.

Iirc, the last budget deal will increase the debt by $2 trillion. How can one talk about limited government and reduced spending when one is INCREASING the debt? The republicans got their military spending increase to match the democrats' social program spending. “If you would have told me this year that we’d be standing here celebrating the passage of an omnibus bill,” (Chuck) Schumer claimed. “I wouldn’t have believed it, but here we are.”

My hubby brought home a fully functional printer/fax machine/scanner combination yesterday saying that it had reached "full life" at work and they were going to throw it away. They had had extra money in their department and decided to buy toner with it - 3 months later, the printers that used that toner reached "full life" - yep, gonna get rid of all those printers and all that toner and replace with different printers. And that's just hardware, not software. Now multiply that by the stories he's come home with since he started working for them in March and multiply that by the number of departments in the federal government - the waste is mind-boggling.

That is the kind of rejoinder my 9 year old might come up with.

The plural of anecdote is not "data". Anybody can find some story or another about something that makes them mad. But if all that spending on the printers amounts to .04% of the overall budget for the department, so what?

What waste?
Where?
Define waste?

People bitch about that, but when you start trying to flesh it out, there is less there than one might think.

I am sure there is waste. I am also 100% certain that there is generally less than many on the right think there is, and not in the places that they think the waste is.

The big ticket waste is in the DOD.

Lastly, the size of the debt, by itself, is a pointless bit of data.

What matters is the size of the debt relative to GDP. Further US bonds qualify as debt, and getting rid of that would have a LOT of people bitching, because they form the basis of many investment portfolios.

There is so much demand for US federal debt, they are issuing it at super low rates. So all the 30 year bonds that were issued at 7 or 8% are being replaced by 2-3% bonds.

We should be borrowing more, and building/repairing our infrastructure that is, literally, falling down around our heads in places. Our debt is so cheap that our GDP would end up far larger in the long run for having done so.

I hope Trump realizes how much good it does him to visit liberal strongholds and get protested at. Hillary's supporters crave social consensus and huge Trump rallies in their home states will demoralize them on election day. Also, national polls are what get reported on TV, so they matter.

Sooooo, you can't quantify the waste, just name examples of what someone else thinks is waste, and have a website that says that the population is getting older, so we will spend more on caring for them.

When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
