Neurath Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I don't know what shenanigans the GOP might have as their last hail mary pass but, if they are unsuccessful, just wait until Trump actually gets the nomination. What we've seen so far this weekend will seem like a walk in the park. Word is that Rubio and his company are already engaging in some ballot fixing attempts in Florida. Well, the Party does have experience with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomerangutang Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 It’s actually sort of funny…. The Republican Party promises to fix everything, protect the country, save the world and all the other things associated with monumental greatness. Yet…they can’t even manage their own party. Trump has kicked in their door, flash-banged his way into the room and has them all paralyzed with abject terror. It’s kind of like a corporation that claims to run the most secure and most dependable bank on earth getting taken over in broad daylight..........by one guy. That is certainly one way of looking at it and a large number of people do. Another is, which party really gives the people a choice and which is controlled by secret power brokers? The Republican party that had over a dozen very diverse candidates ranging form career politicians to people who have never run for office before? Only "the People" would back Trump, people who have every right to be fed up with politicians. Or the Democrat party that offered up only one candidate because "it is her turn"? Don't forget, Bernie is not a Democrat, he is just crashing their party and making it more interesting. I don't know how long it's been since you studied Math, but 1 plus 1 equals 2. Sanders is running on the Democratic slate, in case you hadn't noticed. Of the Republican Party's 4 candidates, one says he's not a politician. Well neither is a snake oil salesman a politician. Is Trump wiser and more honest than a politician because he claims he's not a politician? I can think of many professions worse than a politician (one example: a real estate speculator who buys an apartment complex and kicks everyone out in order to triple rents). Plus, any reasonable person knows politicians can come in all varieties. Trump isn't an opera singer or an acrobat either, does that make him better than an opera singer or an acrobat? I'm trying to gauge why Trump is so popular, and I think It boils down to three basic factors: A. He's rich. Some Americans adulate wealth so much, that nothing else matters. That's what propelled Thaksin to power in Thailand. B. He's crude. Some Americans think it's cool to use cuss words and act tough and rude. It harkens to why those same Americans adulate Al Capone and mafia dons. Americans also like 'sucker punches' and that's why they're shown so often in American-made movies - and it's always the good guy who punches without any warning - and that first punch usually floors the bad guy, and audiences cheer. C. By framing himself as the 'outsider, non-politician' Trump (the consummate salesman) can fool many people to think he will do things better than Washington insiders. Trump is purposefully vague in his stump speeches on policy specs, but some of his rare specifics indicate what a disaster he would be as prez: the Mexican wall (which will be called the 'Trump Wall'), 45% tariff on Imports (drives costs for Americans higher), abolishing the Dept of Education (ensures elitist schools vs ghetto schools, with many schools teaching Bible non-science), and on and on.

That's rich........Do as I say....Not as I do Obama really should keep his mouth shut. Under his "reign" and most powerful person of the western world he has failed to create a better world. It is a complete mass right now. Actually the biggest mass ever in history. Maybe he's got the most powerful job in the world, but he can't fix everything. Sometimes it's a matter of trying to keep problems from getting worse. For example, the Iran deal which perhaps isn't perfect, but it is curtailing Iran's N bomb program. Some improvement (by Democrats) is preferable to zero improvement, and shouting hate speeches (by Republicans), masters of "delay, delay, delay." (a recent Trump quote) I venture that conflict zones around the world would be worse if we had had a Rep prez rather than Obama. Of course, things like that can't be proven, but just look at the past 7 presidential terms. 3 of those terms were under the auspices of Republican presidents, and 3 wars broke out; Iraq 1 & 2, plus Afghanistan. Four of those terms had Dem presidents, and no wars were started, unless you count the military action in former Yugoslavia. Democratic presidents tend to spend much of their time trying to clean up the messes of the Republican president who preceded him. Bush Jr handed Obama an economy in the toilet. As for "the biggest mass mess ever in history" according to Wabothai. You'all really need to bone up on history. Here are some bigger messes, just in the past 100 years. Stalin, Pol Pot, WWI, WWII, Korean War (fueled by Rep prez Eisenhower), Vietnam War, Chairman Mao (contributed to more peoples' deaths than Stalin or Hitler), ....to name a few.

You're getting a little free and loose with your trip down memory lane. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- WWI - US President Woodrow Wilson, Democrat WWII - US President Franklin Roosevelt, Democrat Korean War - US President Harry Truman, Democrat (Cease fire signed 7 months after Eisenhower took office) Vietnam War - US Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, both Democrats (Nixon finally secured Paris Peace Accord) Chairman Mao - Assumed office in 1949, US President Harry Truman, Democrat Stalin - Assumed office in 1922, US President Warren G. Harding, Republican (Harding probably had little input with the Russians in 1922) Pol Pot - Assumed office in 1975, US President Gerald Ford, Republican -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using your apparent logic, two messes can be attributed to Republicans. Those two are Stalin and Pol Pot. The rest would seem to lie at the feet of the Democrat Party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbanda Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Will Bernie endorse Hillary as she represents much of what he has railed against since announcing his candidacy?

up2u2 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I think the wheels have fallen off the Trump campaign. It is all a total shambles.

erobando Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 More and more non-white, non-Nazi, non-KKK, non-racist Americans are backing Trump... "Charles Evers, the 93-year-old brother of slain civil rights icon Medgar Evers, explains his support for Donald Trump for president." I have nothing against Trump... he's funny. But this guy's 93 years old. It's a national tragedy that people over the age of 65 get to vote. Why should they have a say in the nation's future when they're just going to die soon anyhow?

willyumiii Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Donald Trump is starting to unify America.

Berkshire Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 You know who'd I vote for: They guy that eveey politician in my country hated Excellent point..... Trump is disliked because he is so unlike the others. He speaks his mind, and addresses issues that have been ignored by Obama..and the others. No, that's not it at all. Most of us don't like Trump because he's a pathological liar. And a bully. And a racist. And largely ignorant of world affairs. And of top of all that, he's got tiny hands.

Anyone else would have been dismissed as a candidate by now simply by virtue of being investigated by the FBI. Beyond whatever damage might have anyway been done, this won't do any further damage to Clinton because Obama will keep it on a slow walk until well after the election.

arjunadawn Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 They will back Trump or be exposed as liars.

You've got a point--the GOP is actually better off if HRC becomes President. That way, they can keep doing what they do best: obstruct and complain. Deep down, the Republicans don't want to win the White House because it would mean they'd actually have to govern. And that's the one thing they don't do so well.
