Fiorina pushing Cap & Trade: (short video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO6Bdt7mbVY&info=FiorinaSupportsCapTrade

Fiorina fully accepts the leftist theory of catastrophic global warming … without any reservations. But then she now says that we can’t achieve anything if we act alone. The fact of the matter is that if the Chicken Little theory is correct like Fiorina says, then we could do at least something by acting alone, and in fact in 2008 Fiorina herself advocated extreme unilateral (the US alone) action on climate change with her Cap & Trade scheme that would have cut CO2 emissions by 83% within 3 decades:

Most professional politicians have become multi-millionaires. They got their cut. We the peasants are left holding the bag.

The final, and very important link between Trump and BLM is the over-the-top racial rhetoric employed by both. Trump’s recent statements about Mexican immigrants and past comments about blacks would disqualify any other GOP candidate.

What were those "recent statements" and "past comments"? As for the Mexico government tell me where I'm wrong, somebody.

Isn't this what Trump meant by them sending their citizens here? BTW all the while keeping command of them -- even if they become American citizens.

Sending their least desirable citizens here was/is a valuable pressure valve. See above link.

Comparing Trump and his supporters to BLM is downright silly; to wit, Hijacking a Bernie Sanders rally tells exactly what the BLM is.

1960s street mobs along with campus radical, psycho spoiled brats many of whom along with their ideological litters are now the Establishment. It's their tactics that give them away:

mau-mauing.

meaning.. "to intimidate by hostile confrontation or threats

See "Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers" by Tom Wolfe

So "Black Lives Matter" means black lives mau-mauing.

Show me people threatened by Trump supporters -- I mean video of similar physical confrontations.

GOPe don’t respect primary elections I remember where the Tea Party candidate won in Alaska but the GOPe went and stabed the GOP constituents in the back and ran their gal as an independent.

Why should I read an article that starts out with a stupid analogy?

So being opposed to political correctness is a dog whistle for racism? Just making it up as they go along.

represent the angry and unpredictable wings of their respective parties. This is doubtless true of Trump

Trump's appeal actually transcends party. There are a lot of Americans who don't pay attention to politics but they know know who Trump is because they read People magazine. Trump's celebrity status has gotten him started and his fighting spirit has kept him going. There are a lot of people in this country who are sick of the PC crowd bullying people. Trump stands up to them.

Another factor is his identifying the illegal alien problem. It's a well guarded secret that border security is a winning issue across the board, a winning issue with Republicans and Democrats, men and women, black, white and yes, even with Hispanics.

How far will the Trump campaign go? I don't know, but I do know that if he bows out at some point the popularity he has garnered will rain down upon Cruz like dew.

That’s all he’s got....hit pieces on Trump, trying to gin up his social media traffic.

Good point Jane. Everyone wants in on Trump. Big ratings everywhere. Most of the media folk will bad mouth him for rating. It gets folks to watch. What follows are the party groupies chiming in with whoever is doing the bad mouthing. Of course a lot of these msm folks are also owned.☺ It's big insider biz. So bad with most the politicos they should make the other candidates wear NASCAR suits so we know who owns them.

Most msm types feign being offended by everything. Some probably are.☺ The habitually offended PC zombies or posers want America to become the easily offended apologist capital of the world. It gets to a point where folks fear being overheard or saying what they feel about what ever.

It's also a stifle an intimidation ploy used on Americans. Then those in government do what they want hoping folks hide in fear of offending.

It's where we've sunk. It's part of what brought us to this point.

He's big news not because he's Trump, but because people want to hear him. And having big $ allows him to play their their 3rd rate political game show. And they do that as well as they run the country. Of course they too fear saying the wrong thing. They have big league owners.

Political Correctness is the way marxists ultimately control the masses. Like you said, it offers them the perfect avenue to intimidate.

Most Americans are sick and tired of the BS PC cr@p being forced on the MAJORITY, by the minority.

Trump is the anti-PC candidate. It’s driving the left/progressives completely batty.

That’s right. You understand PC is a literally a big killer. A prime tool for those pushing their their own reckless agendas/beliefs and causes on the American people.

And it’s propagated far and wide. A very dangerous thing for a free people. Take care Jane.

Trump Lives Matter? Seriously, Trump’s main attraction to me is the way he makes GOPe drones like this author poop their Depends.
