That sounds passive aggressive, partisan, and unsubstantive.

[AlabamAlum]

Professor, stupidity like yours should be painful. If it were, you'd be under hospice care.

Poll: Clinton Would Easily Beat Trump - The Hill http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/pre ... beat-trump

Weird how Hillary is the second most despised prez candidate in the modern era..yet she's evidently going to win the prize. There must be a thousand "GOP disarray/meltdown/panic mode/hair pulling" articles out there...and that's just the ones from the WSJ, The Hill, National Review and the like. I've never seen anything like it in my life. Everybody knows Trump is death..a veritable bright orange bug zapper..yet his supporters are hell-bent on their destructive course. Crazy.

[Toemeesleather]

Excellent, stay the course.

[Professor Tiger]

Trump supporters are committed to the concept of Schumpeter's gale, or "creative destruction."

AA, your mother clearly had the zika virus during your gestation.

But congratulations on your ESPN debut:

Watched Trump's entire 50-minute press conference last night. 15 minutes recognizing people in the room ("hey Paul O'Neill..stand UP, Paulie"), 15 minutes recapping his poll numbers and disparaging his naysayers ad nauseum, 10 minutes defending Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, and Trump Airlines (while plugging some of his other ventures), and 15 minutes taking questions from the press (although he spent more time pontificating on the questioner than he ever did on the question). The only thing close to a policy issue mentioned was how he would make smart trade deals (not stupid - SMART) with China Japan, and Mexico. Otherwise it was all self-aggrandizement and ego masturbation, with a LOT of hand waving.

What's the appeal, toe? Is it just so you can give a middle-finger to your party's higher-ups? (You gave us oprama - here ya go, have THIS shit sandwich). You've got active brain cells so it can't be because you think this guy should be president. Other republicans want to know the answer as well (they're just not as eloquent as me - heh).

Between Trump, Cruz and Bernie I'd say the appeal is anti-establishment. Not too complicated. Current establishment prez(s)....senators....reps...from both parties have failed miserably.

Funny how just a short time ago, 2 weeks in the Senate(voting present), and few years as a community organizer put you in high cotton.

Anywho, pls feel free to post all links telling us about the high iq of the current office holder.

It was brilliant in that he rambled on from 9-10pm knowing all three news networks would never leave him even though Hillary was also speaking at the time.

I get a lot of the Trump appeal. He detests the GOP Establishment, and their neglect/contempt for the working class base. So do I. He craps all over political correctness. I like that. He wants to bring much needed backbone to US foreign policy, and stop appeasing our worst enemies. I say bravo. He wants to build a wall on the southern border. I think that's long overdue.

But I am not a Trump supporter because I have no desire to deport the millions of illegals already here. He is not a convincing Constitutionalist. He never talks about shrinking government. I'm not sure I believe his verbal support to the 2A or religious liberty or pro-life since his conversion to these beliefs are as recent and convenient as Romney's.

Plus, he acts like a childish nut most of the time. He only appeals to 40% of his own party. Hillary will beat him, even if he challenges her to a penis comparison contest.

I'm a freaking Billionaire with a gorgeous wife who's 25 years younger than me, I have a magnificent estate in Florida and a yuuuuuuge penis.

... "and JD will love me!"

[Johnette's Daddy]

... "and JD will love me!"

"I'm great with the Blacks . . . Blacks LOVE me!"

"Of course, I don't rent to them, but still - they love me!"

[Professor Tiger]

"I have a lot in common with the blacks, including large penises!"

[BigRedMan]

So where was Black Lives Matter when this happened? What about the President? What about anyone in general?

Yeah, this is why I don't and won't take the Black Lives Matter bullshit seriously for anything.

I'm going to try and get in to see whoever comes close to me in Ohio. I'd love to get in to see Trump and mock him. I want him yelling at his guards to throw me out.

The federal government has had its share of failures over the years, but it is hard to think of a federal program that has proved such a comprehensive disaster, in such a short period of time, as the Affordable Care Act. Which, by the way, still hasn’t been fully implemented, as the Democrats have postponed some of its more baleful effects until 2017.

Maybe they should transfer him to Saudi Arabia.

Most US LGBT enthusiasts would be horrified to learn that the rest of the world doesn't get all excited about dudes having sex with other dudes. That's a uniquely American/Canadian/European obsession.

But I fully expect Bruce Jenner to appointed as the next US ambassador to The UN or Russia, or some Middle Eastern or African or Asian country. They all need to have their consciousness raised.
