That's all the Reps have to lean on:  hoping some bad shit will come forth about HRC and sticks.  Reps have no specific policy suggestions, except building an wall (which won't work) continuing the War On Drugs (which has been an abysmal failure) and banning porn.  Has anyone told The Divider that the Russkies are already in Ukraine?  A few days ago he didn't know that.  If he becomes prez, he'll need a whole lot of on-the-job training, which won't be easy with him, because people that know him say he has the focus capability of a mayfly at mating season.

You are only looking out of your right eye.

When you open them both then you will see they are the same conditions that created Bernie.

It is a failed political 2-party system that serves Corporate Interests and not the American citizen and voter.

The great thing is that the young voters see the hypocrisy that blind partisan BS has created. They supported Ron Paul in 2012 and Bernie in 2016 ( and a minority voted for Trump as well).

 

 

I just found out my daughter took a plane ride to Philadelphia (from California) to join with Bernie supporters there during the DNC.  I applaud her participation.  At the same time, I lament  how many youngsters are going downhill with opioid addiction, both pharma and street supplied.  It's becoming a mega problem, particularly in the northeast USA.

Boon Mee, Clearly you see WikiLeaks as the republicans only chance of defeating Clinton by default. 

Right on. Trump fans' only hope is to try and tear HRC to shreds.  They're trying viciously, but having little traction, because HRC is overall a highly qualified administrator, and will make a good prez.

That's the nihilist POV. Destructive politics for entertainment value. That's a big part of the trump base. Very sad.

 

Muzarella doesn't sound like an American (his sentence structure is skewed), so maybe he wouldn't mind seeing America sinking further in the mud of mediocrity and failure with a Trump presidency. 

 

When he/she says, "   Lets have some fun for the next 4 years!!! "  perhaps it's in reference to watching the mushroom clouds rise up at the horizon from afar.   Trump says he won't rule out using nukes on Europe.  I jest not.

Can't believe we have another three months of this nonsense

[Muzarella]

Trump get into this race just for MONEY... and to make deals.

He said that he used his own money..No true...His web site have a donation link..At least he got the same millions from his supporters than Sanders. Until now..he did a got deal.

He is already selling his exit for the race.... and have many people interested in buying..including the Republican Party.  That was his plan from the start.

He is not qualified in any way to be in the Presidency..and he knows that. He just have demagogic and promotional skills to attract the worst segments of American population. The ignorant old "cowboys"...called "conservatives" ready to walk the streets with guns to take care of "terrorist" and "illegals".

He knows that the Senate will have control over any policy or decision he decide to take in the Presidency...specially the craziest ones.

If he got the Presidency, and with a very conservative vice....he may be killed. Already have indications that its may happen.

 

The BIG problem is....that any party have good candidates. Clinton is part of the problem...and nothing will chance for good with her in the Presidency.

In any way...more crime, war, and corruption is coming...

God Save America!

I am not a Trump or Clinton supporter. I only believe that, if Trump become President, the Republican Party will rule with the vice and others in the Party. Trump will be just a big clown, and fulfill his ego and pocket more than ever. Will be interesting to see what happens. He will not be in control anyway. With Clinton nothing will change, just getting even worst.

". ..after he criticized an American Muslim family "

 

Can someone please provide a link to what he said. I keep reading about this horrendous attack on them, but so far all I've come across are articles that state "he implied that perhaps she wasn't allowed to speak, because of her religion" which is not a qoute of what he said and if that is all he implied and it set odd this whole debacle then people have got some really thin skins

That's basically what he said, and yes, some people have thin skins.

Khan is now complaining on Pakistani tv about it, so, IMO he has forgone any right to the respect that he might have had if he said what he did and then shut up.

The republicans kind of deserve trump.

They created the conditions to nominate him.

Hopefully the nation and world won't deserve trump though.

However, it's clear now, sadly, that with the probably defeat of trump, the damage won't be over.

He'll be determined to push his conspiracy theory insanity to his large enough base and continue to incite an extremely toxic and divisive (and non-functional) political environment on the nation.

You ignore the fact that Bernie was more popular than HRC. Had he been the candidate Trump would be nowhere man. The Dems deserve to have problems given that they sabotaged the real candidate to get the extremely flawed and unpopular one instead. Heck, I would vote for him if I was able to.

No he wasn't.

She beat him on delegates, superdelegates and more importantly votes (15.8m to 12m).

Please get your facts straight.

Is there truth to this? Has Kahn really complained about this directly on Pakistsni TV? 

 

Interesting.

Trumps national spokesperson in now saying he  didn't say ban all Muslims. 

The media has it all wrong. LOL

She might be the dumbest person I have ever seen. 

You got to see this.

OK...I watched it as you requested.

 

It was certsinly fristrating to see the news anchor interrupt the Trump spokeswoman like that and to constantly take the atrump statement out of context over and over.

 

Trump is often accused here of only having a base of old white people. I do not have my reading glasses on but she did not appear old or white.

 

Could you confirm? Thanks

Way out of line. Whatever credibility you had for representing "republican values" is gone and your true colors as a right wingnut has come forward. Go find another forum to troll.

Actually, areas where opioid and amphetamine abuse are highest are precisely where Trump polls most strongly.

Interesting. I hadn't considered it but many Trump supporters are from  middle-class neighborhoods that have lost the American Dream that blue-collar workers had in this country until NAFTA. I don't know the specific demographics for these young Heroin users but it wouldn't surprise me if the loss of good employment in their communities has resulted in a feeling of lost hope...the very thing Trump promises to bring back.

 

Ofcourse, one could equally say that obama attracts far more crack cocaine voters than Trump does if demographics and drug abuse correlations are of real interest to you.

What's significant to me about this response is how different it is from what the right wing was saying when it was African Americans who disproportionately consumed opioids.  Then it was all about their lifestyle and bad values. But when it's white people doing the drugs, then it's about economic factors.  I think we can call this Trumpthink.
