me too. if he'd stick to an anti-baby, pro-infrastructure platform, he'd have something. i agree with cutting corp taxes too.

And shutting down H&R block.

1. you can't always get want you want.
2.

On Tuesday, Trump told the Washington Post he's not yet ready to endorse Paul Ryan in the Wisconsin primary. "I like Paul, but these are horrible times for our country," Trump said. "We need very strong leadership. We need very, very strong leadership. And I'm just not quite there yet. I'm not quite there yet."

3. get out, baby.

i'm prolly forgetting a lot of other great ones, but he's had a good couple of weeks.

i can't wait to see if ryan and mccain roll over on this one too, or if insult finally quickens their souls when principle could not.

For Ryan at least, probably depends entirely on what he has to gain and lose by saying something. I like how he met with the Kochs while Trump was left out.

All of this and he's only officially been the nominee for two weeks. Just spectacular.

It won't get any better than the debates, can it?

bubbles4ksu · « **Reply #3510 on:** August 02, 2016, 11:11:59 PM »

the debates should be held in a football stadium with only the most partisan fans in attendance.

He won't. He's setting the table for that and it's so obvious.

Surely the Republican Party will have some kind of serious response to this. ???

Every time I see one of these stories, I'm like, "Okay, he's trying to sabotage himself because he doesn't really want to be President." Then, I watch him talk and I'm like, "No, he's being absolutely authentic. No question about it."

natesilver: I just want to resist the interpretation that any of this is coming from a rational part of Trump’s brain, whether as part of some brilliant 12-dimensional chess strategy, or even a strategy at all really. Maybe that’s a reasonable prior for a lot of politicians, but I’m not sure about Trump.

Rational ppl have it in their minds that there is no way someone that isn't rational would have been able to navigate the system to find themselves in Trump's position. Those ppl severely underestimate the voting public, imo. They need to stop giving him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to if he is actually thinking before he speaks, if he has actually done any research on any individual topic, or if he has any actual plans or positions on issues. He obviously doesn't x 3.

Hillary turns the DNC nomination process into a total sham, so let's find every way we can to attack Trump.

Nice work DemoLemmings.
