Yesterday morning, I heard that Trump thinks the media’s spending too much time on his opponents. Suddenly, someone gets three more minutes, after months of “all Trump, ALL the time” and he’s angry and threatening not to do Townhalls, etc., because of that? Poor guy!
He now takes back his pledge to back another Republican if he’s not the nominee because the “RNC has been unfair” to him. Poor guy!
Can we risk a president who, when all doesn’t go HIS WAY, takes his toys and runs home?
A talk show host on L.A. radio last night said that he thought Trump would pick someone like Judge Judy as a Supreme Court Justice, which made me laugh but really said a lot.
Did any of you watch CNN’s Townhall last night? I did and I was surprised with how much I agreed with TED CRUZ on (yes, I said it….surprised? I am)
Kasich REALLY let me down; he’s soft on things I don’t agree with.
And TRUMP? He was asked what things the government ought to do for America and the first thing he said was SECURITY…okay. The second was HEALTH CARE….. HEALTH CARE? The government should provide HEALTH CARE? That’s a Conservative opinion?
I wish he’d never run; he’s destroyed the field, he’s a bombastic blowhard with the thinnest skin ever and he lies.
What are your thoughts on how damaging he’ll be this year, and do you think Cruz has a chance against Hillary, if Trump doesn’t somehow totally destroy him if Cruz gets the nomination?

Hard to see Trump getting enough true conservatives and/or Reagan Democrats to win the genelec against the Clintooon machine. And going 3rd party would absolutely cement the Dem victory, including their likely retaking the Senate and possibly the House.
But, optimist — or perhaps fool — that I am, I still consider the Trumpomenon a breath of much-needed fresh air into the miasma of stale ritual and even staler rhetoric that is American politics . . . and that his wealth and flexibility provide him natural immunity from special-interest groups (except his own, of course).
As PotUS, he very likely would appoint “outsider” advisors similarly resistant to entrenched power group pressures and genuinely try to set a few things aright with immigration, education, national security, and business. Many of his ideas, tho, would die in committee or never be funded by the House or approved by the Senate.
Also, his approach to foreign affairs — Speak rudely and carry a grudge — would fail spectacularly in restoring American prestige amongst our friends even though it might possibly scare the hell out of a few tin-horn dictators and delusional deviates here and there in the pestholes of the world.

Here is the transcript from Anderson Cooper’s interview of Trump. You may not like what he said, but he’s providing specifics. I also like reading transcripts because I see that he didn’t really say what the Infotainment-Media Complex and the neocons said he said. He didn’t say end NATO, he said revamp it and bring it up to date, and I agree. Europe’s #1 threat is not Soviet armor brigades bursting through the Fulda Gap…

The only consolation at this point is that the Dem crackup is coming as well. Perhaps not this year, but it will happen sometime before Election 2020.
Also, all three GOP nominees have rescinded their pledge to back whoever gets the nomination.
Kasich has no path to victory, so his continued presence is either a total vanity tour, or he in on the behind-the-scenes cabal to nominate him at a brokered convention.
So, it’s Trump, Cruz, or a Party Poobah-anointed nominee… Trumps negatives are higher than Hellary’s, Cruz cannot expand the Electoral College map beyond what loser Mitt accomplished, and the party-selected nominee yet to be named will just make everybody mad…
“What difference, at this point, does it make?”

About every generation or so, roughly every 40 to 50 years, an individual comes along without whom the society, and in some cases the entire planet, would be much better off.
Some well-known examples of those would be Herod, Caligula, Attila, Vlad Dracul, Torquemada, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, and so on. Occasionally they appear in bunches, as in the 1930s and 1940s with Schikelgruber, Himmler, Heydrich, Mengele, Stalin . . . and of course Tojo in east Asia.
Sadly such persons often tend to escape the fate most appropriate for them – being dehydrated and ground up into powder to be sprinkled over skunk cabbages in a nutrient- and oxygen-deprived mosquito-infested swamp.

I agree Z, Trump has blown up the whole process, and not in a good way. He is such a non-serious person lacking even a rudimentary understanding of issues. His top 3 federal government responsibilities were security, health care and education. He did get the first one right at least. And last week he was asked by WaPo his opinion about the use of battlefield nukes and he answered with something inane about calling Jeb Bush low energy? Crazy stuff.
Z, I didn’t get a chance yet to check out that Kasich allegation (I will right now, and I ALWAYS read your comments) It may not be true, but Kasich staying in the race as a spoiler when he has no chance of winning is almost as low as Trump’s latest tweet (whatever that is).
