You certainly can vote again on the Drudge polls, but it will not register unless it is on another computer or smart-phone. When you vote the first time in one of the Drudge polls, after you vote the results come up along with a note stating “Thank you for voting.” If you go back to the poll and vote again, the results come up with a note that says, “Thanks, your vote has already been counted.”

Delete the “cookies” on your computer and you can vote again. That’s how the site “knows” you. If they’re absent, you’re assumed to be a new, unique visitor.

When I say “record” I mean his voting record, and who he hob nobs with. Forget the crap about being a businessman meme. He will be appointing Supremes. This is truly important. But I do understand OUR lack of love for GOPe! I concur with you on that. I Hate the establishment as well.

I'll readily admit to not being a big Trump fan, but I'm not deliberately missing Trump's point, at least not the way you're implying. I know Trump has been saying 'take their oil' for quite awhile. In 2011, before ISIS, he was talking about taking Iraqi oil to reimburse us at least $1.5T for our expenses there. He probably was saying that even earlier, but that was the first old reference google found for me. So when Trump starting talking about taking oil in regards to ISIS I was thinking of his earlier claims. If I were talking about blocking ISIS from oil revenues (Trump being correct in pointing out how late Obama came to that game) I'd talk about taking out their oil infrastructure not about "taking their oil." I don't recall much more enthusiasm for a large US footprint in Iraq in 2011 than in today. And I share Stephy's skepticism that Trump's plan back then could have been done without one, although Trump did claim it could be in the piece I'm linking. That's the Trump proposal I was pushing for details on. If I'm falsely conflating Trump then vs. Trump now, then I've either paid too much attention to him or have too good a memory to be a Trump supporter.

After that crazy performance, Trump is finished. There is simply NO WAY this nutcase is going to win the GOP nomination, let alone become president. He needs to seek psychiatric help.

Not to go over old news but I seem to remember that it took several months before John Ashcroft was confirmed as Atty General.
And no matter what the first rule of a fight is not to dredge up old grudges.
Finally, no matter wha, we have to remember that staying home is what sore losers do. Too much I
Hangs in the balance to Not vote this coming November!

I was watching carefully since my son was in the military and I had the impression that we had not killed bin Laden in Tora Bora. Then around that time I also read that the maps the CIA had made earlier of the Tora Bora caves had been lost. That sounded very strange and suspicious. My conclusion after the Iraq invasion was that letting bin Laden escape was another reason by Bush/Cheney for fighting wars.

Then why wouldn’t he have done it by now? He’s been in the Senate 4 years and he hasn’t betrayed us yet. He has never put donors before his constituents.

It means he was an open supporter in the Bush camp of the Roberts nomination

Like Sununu was of Souter to Bush the Wise

Cruz disavowed that support late last year

“He has never put donors before his constituents.”

Yeah, just puts his candidacy before his constituents.

***

Cruz, who officially launched his 2016 candidacy last month, has missed 21 of 135 roll call votes through the first three months of 2015, coming in third place for most missed. According to Politico, he’s also missed nearly all hearings by the Armed Services Committee, on which he sits. Over the course of his Senate career (he was elected in 2012,), Cruz has the fifth-worst attendance record for all votes, the February Vocativ analysis found.

No, the actual CAUSE of JOBS and BUSINESS leaving America are

1) the unconstitutional federal minimum wage forcing businesses to raise costs, cut jobs, and eventually look elsewhere for more favorable cost conditions.

Get Real!

Jobs started their initial migration out of this Country when Clinton signed NAFTA in the early 1990's.

Federal regulations like the minimum wage never had much of an effect until more recently.

NAFTA was the core issue and after many, many years it has reached truly debilitating proportions.

I don’t know how anyone can cheer that debate performance. I must live on a different planet than the fan club.

Minimum wage, suffocating regulations, union protection, and high taxes all by your not-so-friendly feds can be directly traced to economic weakness and the loss of jobs and business in our country. The feds are great weakeners of America’s economic strength so we are not as competitive on the open market.Then people like you come along and say the problem is the open market. NONSENSE! The open market simply reveals the weaknesses caused by the imposition of the unconstitutional and bone-headed interference of the federal government.

Protectionism never has, does not now, nor never will work because it solves nothing and actually makes matter worse by raising tariffs which is a tax that forces higher prices to the American consumer thus further weakening our economy. Tariffs are like shooting yourself in the foot and does NOTHING to solve the root causes of American competitive issues brought on by the feds. It just layers more government imposition over that which caused the problem in the first place - exactly what the Left loves to do.

Get real yourself.

Wake up AGAIN.. PLEASE.

You stated the following:

Minimum wage, suffocating regulations, union protection, and high taxes all by your not-so-friendly feds can be directly traced to economic weakness and the loss of jobs and business in our country.

The CORE ISSUE that gave birth to all this was NAFTA which began 30 years ago.

You remind me of the person who claims that the SYMPTOM of a disease is the cause of the disease.

NAFTA is NOT "Fair trade"... or is it "FREE Trade". After 30 years of NAFTA the American taxpayer is paying dearly because of it.

How old are you anyway?
