The Donald Trump Remark That Left Trevor Noah Speechless
http://www.nationalmemo.com/endorse-...ah-speechless/
Inherited wealth, privilege are great guarantors of excellent character.
It'd be nice if all of us could ask daddy for a $1,000,000 loan.
did Donny pay back the "loan". Or was it "forgiven", making it unearned, untaxed income.
They like him more than Kasich? They had other choices.
According to the Donald, he paid it back with interest. I don't doubt that he did, but still, it must be nice saying hey dad, can I get a cool mill? Thanks homie
Daddy Trump was worth an estimated $200 million when he passed....The Donald inherited at least a quarter of that...
Are you forgetting estate taxes?
Yeah.
Trump only got like 100,000.
Anyone here get 100,000 to start?
Why Trump Supporters Are Angry — and Loyal
Ted Cruz’s big win in Wisconsin Tuesday was an important moment for the Never Trump forces that hope to keep Donald Trump from amassing the delegates he needs to win the Republican nomination outright. But Mr. Cruz’s supporters remain seriously frustrated anyway, to the point where they have begun denigrating and demonizing Mr. Trump’s supporters, a tactic that can do neither Mr. Cruz nor his party any good.
But the results showed that many supporters in Mr. Trump’s most steadfast cons uency, non-college-educated whites, stuck by him. Exit polls show that Mr. Cruz won 48 percent of this group, but more than one-third of them still voted for Mr. Trump. This confounding fealty is maddening to some Never Trumpers, who have turned their anger on the people who have stayed loyal to Mr. Trump.
Yet who, really, has let these people down? For several election cycles — most prominently Pat Buchanan’s presidential bid in 1996 — Republican politicians have
played on class- and
race-based resentment to win elections.
In loyalty to wealthier voters, they, including the extreme Mr. Cruz,
have cut federal safety-net programs and
done little to address problems of job training,
wage stagnation and
drug addiction that affect the lower middle class, both minority and white.
White working-class Republicans, reeling from the recession and declining as a proportion of the population, entered this election year driven by that betrayal.
Mr. Trump divined their fear and rage. He was there to shout the de able things other Republicans had merely insinuated, and rewrote the rules of the blame game they invented. He played to the party’s angriest members, and offered a con man’s hope to its most desperate.
a correspondent for National Review, which has endorsed Mr. Cruz, wrote last month that it is “immoral” and “a lie” to say “that the white working class that finds itself attracted to Trump has been victimized by outside forces. It hasn’t.” Mr. Williamson wrote that these voters have no one to blame for their distress but themselves, and certainly not the Republican establishment. (
Wisconsin suggested that Republicans have begun to understand that Mr. Trump is playing supporters like Mr. Moss for suckers. The pro-Cruz forces ought to refrain from piling on. As Mr. Trump would say, they started this.

POLITICSJust In: Trump Is Now Facing Criminal Charges For Bribing Carson For Endorsement
The American Democracy Legal Fund has filed a criminal complaint to the Department of Justice over Donald Trump’s alleged promise of a cabinet position to Ben Carson in exchange for his endorsement, which is of course illegal.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 599, “[w]hoever, being a candidate, directly or indirectly promises or pledges the appointment, or the use of his influence or support for the appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment, for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy shall be fined under this le or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this le or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
Dr. Carson’s comments strongly suggest that Mr. Trump promised him an administration position in return for his endorsement. In his interview, Dr. Carson stated that he would “certainly” have an advisory capacity within a potential Trump administration.
When asked directly whether this role was discussed during their endorsement meeting, Dr. Carson responded, “Yes.” Dr. Carson’s assured answers lead to the reasonable conclusion that Mr. Trump promised Dr. Carson an administration post in order to secure his endorsement in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 599.
While this is pretty far down on the list of unethical, immoral, or simply reprehensible things that Trump has said or done, it might be the closest chance we might have to take him out of the running for good.

The Repug convention will be a RIOT
A contested convention where the Repug mucky mucks draft Bishop Gekko (he registered with FEC) and Paul "asterisked Ayn Rand budget" Ryan?
Paul Ryan stokes presidential chatter with campaign-style video
Here’s a simple rule: if you don’t want people to think you’re running for president, don’t do things that presidential candidates do.
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), for example, is aware of the fact that some Republicans – andsome GOP mega-donors – much prefer him to Donald Trump and Ted Cruz for the party’s 2016 ticket. Ryan is also aware of the fact that those same supporters may try to exploit a contested Republican convention to nominate someone who didn’t actually seek the office.
In response to this chatter, the House Speaker is only too pleased to tell reporters, “I’m not running for president.” And yet, if the Wisconsin congressman wants to quash the speculation about his ambitions, Ryan should probably stop taking the kind of steps a prospective candidate might take. TPM reportedthis morning that the Republican leader has released a new “swelling, optimistic video laying out his policy plans.”
In the video, dubbed “Politics These Days,” Ryan bemoans the polarized state of American politics.
“What really bothers me the most about politics these days is this notion of iden y politics: that we’re going to win an election by dividing people, rather than inspiring people,” Ryan says in a speech delivered to an audience of House interns. […] “So let’s have a battle of ideas. Let’s have a contest of whose ideas are better and why our ideas are better,” he concludes, as inspirational music soars.
Videos like these aren’t uncommon – but they tend to be released by national figures who have their eyes on the Oval Office.
Maybe Paul Ryan is trying to create a distinct platform for House Republicans in order to keep them separate from the party’s presidential ticket. Maybe the Speaker, who’s spent years talking about the need for the GOP majority on the Hill to come up with some kind of governing agenda, is taking the next step towards an elusive goal.
Or maybe the nation’s highest ranking Republican officeholder is subtly trying to stoke the 2016 fires so they don’t go out.
Ryan is many things, but blind to political cir stances isn’t one of them. I’ve long been skeptical about his White House plans, but for him to launch a p.r. push like this, against the backdrop of Beltway chatter about a presidential nomination, is making me re-think those assumptions.
Yes, the Speaker has said he’s not running, but as regular readers know, Ryan said the same thing about his current job – right before he accepted it.
If the Wisconsin lawmaker wants to end the scuttlebutt, he can do so with relative ease.
First, Ryan can make a Shermanesque statement about his 2016 plans.
Second, he can stop doing the kinds of things presidential hopefuls do.
Until then, the chatter will continue, which may very well be exactly what the Speaker wants.

Exclusive: Blocking Trump could hurt Republicans in election
A third of Republican voters who support Donald Trump could turn their backs on their party in November's presidential election if he is denied the nomination in a contested convention, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
The results are bad news for Trump's rivals as well as party elites opposed to the real estate billionaire, suggesting that an alternative Republican nominee for the Nov. 8 presidential race would have a tougher road against the Democrats.
"If it’s a close election, this is devastating news" for the Republicans, said Donald Green, an expert on election turnout at Columbia University.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted March 30 to April 8 asked Trump’s Republican supporters two questions: if Trump wins the most delegates in the primaries but loses the nomination, what would they do on Election Day, and how would it impact their relationship with the Republican Party?
Sixty-six percent said they would vote for the candidate who eventually wins the nomination,
while the remaining third were split between a number of alternatives such as
not voting,
supporting a third-party candidate, and
switching parties and voting for the Democratic nominee.

World watches Trump’s rise with fear, trepidation
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham tried to reassure foreign leaders that Donald Trump is nothing to worry about during a trip to the Middle East last week. “Everybody asked me about Trump in terms of policy changes. I said he is an outlier, don’t look at him,” Graham told reporters Thursday about his overseas trip.
The most serious concerns Graham said leaders from Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt expressed raised were regarding Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban most Muslims from entering the United States.
At a White House briefing this week, a reporter asked President Obama whether Trump’s foreign-policy proposals are “already doing damage” to America’s reputation. “The answer … is yes,” Obama responded. “I think that I’ve been very clear earlier that I am getting questions constantly from foreign leaders about some of the wackier suggestions that are being made.”
Last week, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) returned from a trip abroad and said officials in Israel and Turkey specifically pressed him on the anti-Muslim rhetoric in the Republican presidential race.
All of this dovetails with reporting from a month ago about international “alarm” over Trump from officials in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and Asia.
A senior NATO official, speaking before the Republican frontrunner talked publicly about abandoning the treaty organization, was quoted telling Reuters, “European diplomats are constantly asking about Trump’s rise with disbelief and, now, growing panic.”
As we talked about at the time, there’s ample speculation about the message the United States would send to the world if Trump was elected president. But there’s probably not enough speculation about the damage the success of Trump’s campaign is already doing to the nation’s reputation.

Donors trying to draft 'Mad Dog' Mattis for presidential run
A group of wealthy donors is preparing to draft retired Marine Gen. James "Mad Dog" Mattis to run for president and taken down Donald Trump, according to reports.
Nearly a dozen donors are willing to throw their resources behind the former head of U.S. Central Command. The group has delivered six memos to Mattis outlining how he could win the race in the hope that it will encourage him to run, the Daily Beast reported.
The game plan would be for Mattis to win enough states to keep Trump and Hillary Clinton from getting the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. The House would then pick the president, and supporters believe lawmakers would support a former general widely seen as an American hero.

He posts fake stories allthe time.
You Lie. Not fake
stop projecting
Bill O’Reilly questioned Donald Trump’s ability to provide jobs in African-American communities during an interview on Monday by painting black Americans as being ill-equipped for the labor force.
“How are you going to get jobs for them?” O’Reilly asked. “Many of them are ill-educated and have tattoos on their foreheads, and
I hate to be generalized about it but it’s true.
If you look at all the educational statistics, how are you going to give jobs to people who aren’t qualified for jobs?”

I dont know why people even bother with prsidential race tbh. I used to myself but then I realized every president has had a significantly different stance in terms of their actions once they get elected as president.
For all we know, trump is probably just pushing some hot buttons and the next thing you know he is Bffs with middle eastern countries and businessmen. Etc.
Imagine this man as your president
