this is starting to have the smell of inevitability ...

And the current is a narcissist and coward? Based on what exactly?

Assad called his bluff, and I do not know how many refugees resulted. How few are the US going to receive? Of course they will be well vetted. San Bernadino, CA may feel safer knowing the vetting process is in place.

Do you remember how well he did vs. Mitt Romney in the 1st debate? Something about Libya occurred the night before.

there was a 5 to 1 prisoner exchange.

Do you think Putin is concerned about him?

He frequently refers to himself as Co. in Chief? no shit, that is duty description, that is what he is supposed to do.

How many times has he referenced OBL execution? mention once and never again, tell it in memoirs, his only response should be "who is next?"

Wasn't the primary perp born in Detroit? Now, I agree we need to vet the refugees from Detroit.

Watch Fox News, do we?

Yeh, Blonde, blondes, then smokin hot, absolutely the best way to propagandize.

Now this is the age of equal pay for women. and empowering women. Neither was primary they were equal. I find your label of the male, who brought his fiance to the US, as the "primary perp" offensive and sexist.

I'm also baffled by the idea that you need to have had military service to be a serious candidate.

I've been thinking how to explain my favor of a post military candidate, I can only come up with this. Why do the royals serve?

None of the current GOP front runners brings any kind of credibility to their candidacy. I agree, one of them is a junior senator for crying out loud.

Thanks for letting me get these last 2 posts, before The Pravda is closed

I don't even understand it :shrug: (might be just as well)

Trump endorsed by Katie Hopkins and now Sarah Palin.......at least all the crazies are sticking together #fruitloops

crazies? fruitloops? I think you are underestimating Trump. He hasn't got this far by accident

That doesn't mean he's not crazy.

i think it basically does!

 

[Phil E]

Doesn't.

The world is full of crazy people who are successful.

 

[didds]

or a fruitloop.

All it possibly means is that there are a lot of fellow crazies and fruitloops in the repulican party.

yes, difficult to believe eh?

"No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby." HL Mencken

Although Trump has managed to lose money, of course.

Usually it's someone else's money. Yesterday's Washington Post did a story on Trump's gamble (pun intended) on the Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City.

What Trump sells is his "brand". What the Republican bottom feeders are buying is flim-flam, not substance.

Shut this thread down if you wish but don't think it of no consequence.

Errm, no. That's not what happened. The party of No said No. And that same party now calls Obama "cowardly and narcissistic".

A telling quote from a GOP Representative from that piece:

"...The President...continues to delay action indefinitely until Congress acts...

Remind me who has the constitutional power to declare war on behalf of the US?

As a conservative commentator, Michael Brendan Dougherty, put it last November:

"...Obama's foreign policy in Syria has been stupid. But the Republican response to it has descended into gibbering insanity."

I was alluding to the fact that Trump hasn't even outperformed the stock-market in his alleged personal wealth. Adapting the old trope, the easiest way to end up with $10bn is to start off with considerably more than that...as did (potentially) Trump.

Do you really think any remotely credible sane politician would welcome the endorsement of Sarah Palin? She who no doubt can see Agrabah (HT Dickie E) from her backyard. The fiscally conservative sponsor of the bridge to nowhere. Etc etc.

hmm, well
- surely Trump has proved himself more than "remotely credible" by now. He's leading the race for the nomination isn't he? Indeed the title of the thread is "this is starting to have the smell of inevitability"
- words like 'sane' or 'crazy' - well if you are using them in a colloquial sense meaning outrageous then sure, but clearly Trump is not medically insane.
- sarah palin - Don't forget she was a VP candidate herself -- but sure, I don't think Trump is welcoming her endorsement because of her policy vision. Trump's campaign is more Derren Brown rather than Gordon Brown. Scott Adams analysis is prob along the right sort of lines

although it is often repeated it's not necessarily a fact. From Bloomberg here's a round up of that trope, and some analysis
