Tell that to Ronald Reagan, Dick Nixon, Grover Cleveland, George H.W. Bush and Andrew Jackson.
I’m a notorious “sexist.” Just ask Cincinatus’ Wife! Donald, well, his speech is trashy, and that’s what his advocates like about him.
“How do you picture a debate between Hillary and Trump?”
Since everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie, what would be the point? I don’t think he should debate her under any circumstances. Instead, he should address statements of hers in his own press conferences.
In addition, he should address remarks of hers that are demonstrably false. “Mrs. Clinton said that the Canadian healthcare system is wonderful. I used to think so, until I looked at it for myself...”
Let us remember that this TV debate thing is a fairly recent development. It’s not mandatory. A candidate could insist on a debate with no audience, no video recording devices...just a court recorder making a transcript.
This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.
Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone. Hysteric
“Those are the ones already advocating for him.”
People who were going to vote for Jeb or Christie? That seems extremely unlikely to me.
A deposition?
Yes. That format would work best for both Hillary and Trump.
Get them on record under oath.
Trump should have shown regret? LOL!
For years, GOPe candidates and politicians have shown regret, and been bludgeoned for it. They reach across the aisle and pull back a bloody stump. They try to be “bipartisan” and the only result is a knife in the back of the people who voted for them. They play nice and sell us out or get steamrolled by the socialists.
Trump is no “true conservative”. That I’ll grant you. But when he says that as a rich donor he pays politicians and gets favors, then Joe Sixpack says to himself, “Finally, somebody with the stones to tell the truth!”
If Trump was dumb enough to name an actual quid pro quo, he’d be getting fitted for an orange jumpsuit. That’s illegal, and the fact that he’s all but admitting to it strikes most folks as daring and honest.
You know what you get with GOPe? Fedgov controlled education, Obamacare written in stone, floods of immigrants. Hell, I’ll take Trump hobnobbing with the Clintons over President Jeb instituting Clinton/Obama policies any damn day.
The worse case scenario with Trump is that he’s a closet big government tyrant, and he either wins or throws the election to Clinton/Sanders or whatever Rat isn’t indicted come November. Best case is he’s an independent, basically apolitical businessman who really will hire the best and take their advice, and we at least close the border and stop making moronic giveaway deals with Iran and swapping moonbat deserters for five top terror commanders.
What do we get with Jeb/Walker/Rubio/Carly/Graham/Huckabee/Christie/Whatshisface?
Conservative rhetoric followed by surrender to the forces of big government. No matter what they say, if you think any of the Washington Cartel are going to be any different than the last batch of Conservative campaigning surrender monkeys we elected, or the batch before that, or the batch before that, then you need a twelve step program to get off the GOPe sauce.
So worse case with Trump is exactly what I get from GOPe or DemocRat candidates, but at least with Trump there’s a chance things might be different? Let me think about that real hard for a minute. Done. I’ll take Trump.
The game is rigged. The big donors behind both parties will present us with the same crap sandwich, one in an elephant wrapper and the other marked with a donkey.
So what if Trump had some gladhandling photos taken with the Clintons, and has given them money? Maybe he’s got the same contempt for them that anybody who’s been shaken down has for the bastards who take the money.
At least there’s a chance he’s not on the same team. With any GOPe candidate, you know for sure that the same big money guys are pulling the strings on that puppet, just like they do for the Dem puppets.
I’ll take Trump and a prayer over suicide by party loyalty.
Everyone that can’t get poll numbers always says they don’t matter.
As for Tump’s negatives, I find it interesting that all those people with low negatives for some silly reason can’t best him.
Kind of strange huh.
Trump is not the only one running for the Republican nomination. To dismiss everyone else because they're not dropping big enough turds in the punch bowl, or to suggest that they "can be bought" because they fund raise, is beyond short-sighted.
Rich people are "bought" all the time. It's a nonsensical argument.
Scott Walker has fought the Left and won (repeatedly in elections and policy).
What is Trump's record?
Or does that not matter to you?
What if Trump takes the "pledge?" What then? What will be the "it's okay, he's smart to do that" excuse then?
And who could believe him?
Not if you look at the size of the field.
This is a line for the GOP to repeat and repeat and repeat - about Hillary.
"Now that she's running for president," [Republican] said, "it's a little more troubling."
But I'd substitute "very" for "little more."
Have you listened to all 31 minutes of that Trump CNN interview?
Count the “I, me, mine, my” words.
Hmm, Trump 23%, Walker 7%...
Interesting...
Interesting indeed.
77% not for Trump.
When they hear how well Trump is doing in the polls they believe every word as if it were the gospel.
Good luck with your attempts to knock everyone out to artificially prop up Walker. It’s apparent he/you have nothing else.
Not necessarily. I found an old article - dated 1990 - yes, that was what seems like a long time ago. However, I know that many of the things written are true and coincide with what he wrote in his book, “Art of The Deal.” This is a very long read, but, very informative into the real Donald Trump. It’s also very disturbing. So, if people read it and don’t believe it - that’s their choice. For me, it opened my eyes to the man who wants to be president of the United States.

By the Numbers: Gov. Scott Walker talked about Hillary and Obama twice as many times as the next candidate.
"Who Talked About Clinton And Obama At The Debate Here's how often the ten candidates in the first primetime GOP presidential debate mentioned Hillary Clinton or President Obama...."
Walker ----13
Bush ------ 7
Paul ------- 7
Cruz ------ 6
Huckabee - 4
Trump ---- 3
Carson --- 2
Rubio ---- 2
Christie -- 0
Kasich --- 0
Scott Walker is GOPe. Look at the anti-Tea Party folks he hires to run his campaign. Look at his immigration stance before he started campaigning. Look at his support for Common Core a couple of years back. Who can believe him?
The record that Trump has that matters to me is that he’s not a part of the Washington Cartel that Ted Cruz talks so passionately about. I’d love for Cruz or Carson to catch fire like Trump, but they haven’t. Maybe Trump burns out and one of those two picks up the pieces, but until then, go Trump!
It’s not that the other candidates can be bought...they don’t have to be. They are in the good ol’ GOPe club already.
You may love the punch bowl we are currently stuck in so much that you’d rather drown than see that vulgar man Trump drop turds in it so it gets flushed, but I don’t.
No wonder the GOP talking heads on the news shows think of GOP conservatives as suckers. Every four years we get a “proven leader” like Dole, Bush, Walker, Romney, McCain, hold our noses and vote GOP and when our guy turns out to be a big government politician or a total loser in the election, we get told we need the House or Senate.
We give ‘em the House and Senate and we get Zippo, but GOPe has more money and energy to spend on defeating conservative challengers to GOPe incumbents than they do on challenging, much less overturning, the socialist mess Obama and crew have been busy creating.
I’m tired of being the battered wife of the GOP that tells me this election cycle, it’ll be different. I’d rather take my chances on the loudmouth with no record than the proven liars.
