That’s CW for you. So blinded by his/her hatred of Trump that they will post anything at all to try and make him look bad. Glad to know Milhous Cruz has 9 votes now. CW must be excited to have a 3 way tie at the moment. We all must cling to something.

>>I can’t believe

Who says Amerikastan ain’t a still great country where anything is possible!

Those “towns” will now have their mail boxes on the map right up there with the Island of Misfit Toys.

And speaking of Misfit Toys - Where’s Yeb?

You are just mad because your guy got slammed... again... How many guys did you have this cycle? Perry, Walker, Cruz?

Cruzettes are saying, Oh no, Cincinnatus wife likes us, we are doomed!

Look, I'm not averse to using swear words myself and I find myself uttering my most intense expletive-ridden tirades at Obama and the libs/progs/Dems all the time. But come on, do Washington's outbursts on the battle field and Reagan cursing in frustration during a private taping session really equate to Trump gratuitously echoing potty-mouthed insults leveled at a member of our own party during a public campaign event? Could you imagine any of the previously mentioned great presidents of our past ever engaging in this very sort of behavior? I can't.

I think what frustrates me most is, if we've truly reached the point in our culture where one has to resort to guttural tactics and appealing to the lowest common denominator to win anything, I just wish for once the folks on our side would attack the DEMOCRATS with the same passion and heated vitriol as we do with attacking our own!

The point is that they both did use that type of language. Regan even did as president, although the clip isnt on YouTube.

“Could you imagine any of the previously mentioned great presidents of our past ever engaging in this very sort of behavior? I can’t. “

Yeah, I can, because they have. Go read on the election of 1800 for a freshman course on what people said in elections then. The only reason you dont see this as regular language is because historians made an effort to gloss over it.

Attack Ads, Circa 1800:

Just so you know, these are their actual words.

This isnt really even about the language as it is about people finally seeing someone standing up for themselves and not following some BS rules of “decorum” that does nothing for us but make as sure losers in November. When the General starts, Trump will turn it on the Democrats just like they are sure to turn it on him, or whomever.

And this is where Trump really shines, in my opinion. He has done what no other previous GOP candidate has dared attempt... and that’s demonstrate how to beat back the media and win. Trump has been absolutely MASTERFUL at this and one would hope the Republican consultants would study this model for future election campaigns. However, I won’t hold my breath given the GOP Establishment’s propensity for being wimpy and fearful of the opposition party.

My wife was reading me Sanders' bio yesterday. He was an itinerant hippie carpenter (a terrible carpenter by all accounts) and commie grifter until he became mayor of Burlington at age 39.

Like so many radical socialists, he has never held a steady job in the private sector.

I would LOVE to see his resume matched up against Ted's in the general election.

What has he got against carpenters?

"He was a sh***y carpenter, a friend told Politico Magazine. His carpentry was not going to support him, and didn't."

I don't know what you're talking about. . .

But here's a picture with Trump with a squirrel on his head.

The context within which the word was used was obviously not a vulgarity. As George Carlin used to say, “You can prick your finger, but you can’t finger your prick”.

Saw Carlin in person yeeeeears ago. He did the "F" monologue.

Henny Youngman and his one liners made me laugh until I cried.

Don Rickles...believe it or not....was like a wonderful grandfather.

It’s just because they vote first — at midnight. The media wants something to report.

It’s fairly meaningless, but a minor curiosity.
