Trump is either an evil genius or a lunatic...either way...so happy for his brutal honesty. :) hes def a lunatic.

He's definitely brutal. I am not sure how honest he is. Just because he says that he tells it like it is does not mean he tells it like it is. Having said that, if it's him against Hilary, I am voting Trump.
 
Trump is a crass, vulgar, self-promotional blowhard. He has demeaned the political process with his outrageous language and policy positions. That said, he's the most moderate of all the GOP candidates, who, like always, are always trying to outdo one another in appealing to the goobers, wingnuts and crazy christians who make up the bulk of Republican voters. They're so transparent it is comical.

Notice how each one of them still gravely pronounces that the first thing he's going to do is "repeal Obamacare." Forget that the program has helped millions afford health insurance--which to everybody but Republicans is a pretty good thing. Still, Republican pols have been saying for, what, three or more years that they are going to repeal Obamacare, when there is no chance that it will be repealed. The Supreme Court upheld it. That is the thing with Republicans--they are on the wrong side of almost every issue, and can never accept the fact that they've lost on an issue. They are always fighting old battles---which I guess they must because they never want to tackle any real problems. And so they prattle and hurumph about what Democrats do, because Democrats actually try to solve problems and promote a term that is in the constitution--the "general welfare"--meaning the common good. But the GOP basically doesn't believe in the common good. It doesn't believe doing anything but helping rich corporations and wealthy individuals who most assuredly do not need help. They heap scorn on those who actually do need assistance, wondering why they weren't born to upper-middle-income families as they were. Republicans are people who, asked to choose between protecting the health of American people on issues like toxic dumping or protecting the profits of companies that pollute, always choose to side with corporate polluters. They lie about global warming to protect big energy companies. They never miss a chance to stiff average working people, whether it be on the minimum wage, unions, worker disability, unemployment pay, you name it. They are venal, small-minded, horrible people.

You could have just said Republicans are not commies. Same thing. By the way, it says promote the general welfare, not provide welware. Democrats hate America and freedom.

Every time I see a nonsensical rebuttal to repealing Obamacare I stop reading. So, it is the responsibility of middle income Americans to pay the way for fellow citizens and non-citizen immigrants to receive medical coverage by increasing their annual cost of medical coverage by 20-40% while at the same time increasing the atrocious federal deficit through the subsidies the lower income citizens receive that also increases at the same rate each year. They then increase the burden of employers by forcing coverage and increasing regulatory reporting to the point they refuse to hire new workers and decrease the hours of existing workers to make a profit. Meanwhile many of the insurers are going broke due to restrictive regulations and inability to cross state lines with no tort reform because the trial lawyers are in cahoots with the Dems by padding their pockets. How stupid! What is even more stupid is our fellow citizens that vote for these traitors.

Jeb will drop out and support Rubio. Carson will drop out and support Trump. No one seems to like Cruz but he will be fine.
 
66% of our Federal budget goes to entitlements. We're never going to solve any economic problems until we get people weaned from the government teat. We don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. Our democracy was never intended to take care of citizens (and some non-citizens) from womb to tomb.

I hope you're not including Social Security & Medicare in that number...Those are not "entitlements". Your grandparents, parents, and probably you contribute 7.65% of earned income into those programs and the employer contributes the same amount from their profits. That is the wage earners' money - just like the 401k you contribute and your employer matches.

A promise was made to my parents and grandparents that their money would be kept safe for them until they retire.

I believe in keeping promises.

It is an entitlement even if it's paid into. Trust me, as a business owner, I know about employer and employee contributions. I in no way are saying social security for hard working people should be taken away but by definition social security is an entitlement. My problem lies with all the people that abuse the system. There are literally millions of Americans that are on social security disability that are plenty capable of working. I'm referring to the deadbeats that live off the hard working folks in this country. The ones that abuse the system.
 
Just saw where an internal "Bush" campaign poll has shown a Cruz surge in SC. Their polls are showing a tight race of 26% Trump to 24% Cruz. TIFWIW

Others are showing Trump with 10+. Was watching his speech in Greenville tonight that was streamed. He's still obnoxious and arrogant, but he does better when he's out on the stage alone. Bush, Kasich, and Carson need to get out so their support can realign.
 
She's terrible. There is zero rhyme or reason to our offensive sets...ZERO. Dribble and pass it around the perimeter, then when the shot clock is dwindling under 5, try to drive and throw up a prayer.

Still ran the Russell/Graves double post offense the whole game with a roster that cannot even begin to be successful with it against good teams. Have lost every game against a good team they have used it. They are terrible shooters in the half court. The only way they win is to run. :thud:

Yea, this was an internal poll by the Bush campaign.

I don't think Carson will endorse Trump. I bet he won't publicly endorse anyone actually. The larger % of his voters would go to Cruz, I think.

Jeb still has money. He may be in for a little while longer yet.

I don't think Carson has a chance. So he needs to get out. The problem is that only leaves Cruz and Rubio that I would vote for, I think (Cruz is who I want to get the nomination, badly). Definitely not pulling the lever for trump.

Really hope Cruz can pull out the win Saturday.

They can't get the ball into the post. Make stupid, low percentage passes, and then when the post player has position, we don't throw it to her. The few times we get it down there, it's like they don't know what to do with it. If Russell isn't right under the basket, she's terrible. We throw up more bricks from around the basket than any team I've ever seen.

I will say USCe should have been called for numerous fouls last night...their defender consistently went over Russell's back when we did pass the ball to the post and knocked it away. That's a foul climbing over her back, and was never called.

The Donald saw these polls also. That's why he had a tantrum in which he both threatened to sue Ted and run third party. What a classy guy.

I agree on the fouling. But Russell has obviously not been coached up in 3 years on how to sell the foul. If she and others did early in the game it would set the tone and the opponents would have to adjust. Any good defender will push the limit as far as it will go, which is how Pat did it all those years. HW has them playing soft. If the LV's were better at selling fouls my guess is USCe would have used more zone, which destroys the LV's every game anyway because they are such terrible shooters outside. They were lucky USCe was down emotionally from the UConn loss or it would have been very ugly.

If you have not been in the LV forum today, you've got to go. It is hilarious! :)

Soft is exactly what they are, and is why they clam up in close games at the end. No thanks on the LV forum...I'm a one forum guy.

I would rally have to disagree with that. Carson will not support Trump in any way. Carson is a man of his principles and Trump is far from anything representing a person with principles. Well unless you consider being a self centered jerkwad being a man about principles.

It really is crazy how he still has so much support. I don't understand it anymore.

I could somewhat at first understand the passionate and complete rejection of the political correctness that has taken root in our country. But at this point, trump has crossed so many lines and said so many awful things, I don't understand the seemingly blind loyalty of his supporters, especially the Christian ones.

Look how trump responds when anyone tries to verbally question/attack him. Can you imagine him as the commander of the armed forces and with nuclear weapons at his disposal?

If Trump goes on to get the GOP nomination it will be the biggest con job in our nation's history by a long shot. If he's elected president it may have unimaginable consequences. Can you imagine a ticket of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump? :disappointed:
