Trump supporters are like 0bama supporters. Willfully ignorant of their candidate’s background and history, because he says things they like to hear.
Not to say that anybody could have identified 0bama’s true colors prior to 2008 with some minimal effort, but at least with Trump his background and history are more easily discovered: he was a liberal until recently it became “profitable” to not be one, at least on the exterior.
Does anybody really think Trump would be satisfied with anything but being the top of the ticket? If he doesn’t win the nomination, there’s no way he’ll consider any other position, whether that’s VP or cabinet member. It’s far more likely he will run 3rd party if he doesn’t win the nomination than accept playing the 2nd or lower fiddle.
Can you imagine the conversation going on in the ISIS caves now?
“Hey Ahmed, what’s up?”
“Oh, hi Mohamed, I’m just shaking in my boots with fear and frustration.”
“Why is that? What happened?”
“Well, I was going to get a bunch of us to blow up some bombs during a college football game and at some shopping malls during the holidays in the United States. I was going to take as many of those infidels out as I possibly can with my AK47 before I martyr myself with the suicide vest I made.”
“Yeah, that sounds awesome dude!”
“I thought so too, but now the president of the great satan, 0bama, has threatened us with a climate change conference! I don’t know what to do. If only their state department had been able to create us those jobs they talked about a while back.”
"...reach across the aisle leadership we need to get Washington functioning again." The only reason to reach across the aisle is to pull people to your side. If they resist, you must defeat them.
It was an assassination of a criminal, who had ties to Willem Holleeder. Holleeder was involved with the kidnapping of Freddy Heineken in the 80s, for which he served 11 years in jail. Holleeder fancies himself somewhat of an organized crime boss, and people around him have been dropping like flies, mostly due to lead poisoning, including his brother in law, Cor van Hout who was a co-conspirator in the Heineken case.
At least the “sissies” (Please come play a game with me, and I’ll John Kerry your legs) don’t need oxygen after running for 10 seconds. But I’m sure there’s a commercial on to interrupt the “action.”
