Donald Trump: Obama might have lost
The Politico ^ | May 13, 2013 | Kevin Cirilli

Posted on 05/13/2013 2:16:37 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Donald Trump said Monday that if the details surrounding the IRS targeting tea party groups and last week’s Benghazi hearing had come out last fall, President Barack Obama might not have won reelection.

“This is a big, big story that is probably going to get a lot bigger,” Trump said of the IRS scandal on Fox News. “This is a terrible thing. It’s just not supposed to happen. They have laws against it. If this were somebody else, this would be the biggest story.”

Trump continued: “I’ve been watching it for the last four days getting bigger and bigger and even some of our liberal friends are sort of saying this is really bad. Between this and Benghazi, Benghazi — had this come out like this before the election, you could have had a different result.”(continued)

Trust Anderson Cooper will still be doing shake-n-bake with the Cincinnati Hell House.

No Benghazi, no IRS persecution, no Gosnell, no AP taps.

CNN will probably build a Hell House torture sound stage complete with hanging chains and monkey bars for Anderson Cooper to swing on.

There were several of us here that said we would rather have Obama than Romney. Romney would have given us the same policies but under the R moniker.

Insane to believe that. Totally insane.

I never wanted Romney as the GOP candidate, but frankly......that's crazy talk.

Let's hope this stuff derails him for a while and prevents total destruction.

Somehow I doubt it, but I am genuinely happy he's sweating and confused. I haven't felt this kind of schadenfreude in a long, long time......

If Gosnell had not gotten caught he'd a been a shoe-in for Surgeon General.

“Sorry, but the only thing that won Obama the election in 2012 was the Federal Reserve, QE, and the Fed’s ability to buy up unlimited Gov’t, agency, and crappy bank debt.”

Rush often mentions that the average voter, while disagreeing with Obama’s policies, don’t connect those policies with Obama. Well, Republican leaders in Congress have the same problem. They don’t dare raise their eyes to Obama; they will circle around Carney, for instance. Charles Krauthammer is the only one so far who will pin the tail on the donkey.

I don’t see how the IRS scandal would have affected the election. obama’s voter base does not pay taxes.

Of course, but the people receiving the freebies are paying little or nothing. They make up Obumbo’s core constituents.
They could not care less about the productive citizens who are paying the bills.

Finally the press turned around a bit over the Benghazi debacle.

Let’s hope the MSM will come around and cover the IRS and the AP.

Too many scandals at once might be too much for MSM without appearing to be suddenly anti-administration. This might make them retreat and spike everything Obama negative.

Continue with Benghazi expose, non stop, with determination with the blessing of MSM. Take care not to appear political on the others unless we have MSM support. Follow up with investigations but be careful not to gloat and snicker in the process.
