    Dr. Oz is a Muslim? Now THAT could turn me against all Muslims.

    Heck, Ben Carson can't even stay at the top of his own thread.

    So it's that simple? "Hey, all I gotta do is give the order to destroy ISIS and, presto bango, ISIS will be destroyed." Easy peasy.

    Those buying into that type rhetoric are the same who thought we could fix the Mideast simply by invading countries like Iraq, installing a puppet govt, and then telling the people to love us. ...dammit even if it takes a whole few months! Rube nation never learns.

    Yes. But that's what a lot of people want to hear. And that crowd might grow in the next year.

    So does that mean Cruz thinks the Defense Department just ignores Obama every time he tells it to do something? Or that Obama has repeatedly directed it to do nothing?

    We provided the French with a list of targets after the Paris attacks -- targets we hadn't hit yet.

    Many of our planes return without dropping their bombs.

    You can make the case that our intent to limit civilian casualties is a good one. But, you'd also have to admit that we could step up the campaign against ISIS if we were willing to allow more civilian deaths.

    Our last Cowboy President cost us $6 trillion. Yippee-ki-yay, motherfuckers.

    Donald Trump has no interest in being president. That must be obvious at this point.

    Cruz does, though, and Trump just might troll him into the swamp.

    Muslims vote, even in some swing states. And every single one of them will vote against the GOP candidate, at this rate. Not many Latinos voting red, either.

    In 15-20 years, the Republican Party will be an un-fucking-mitigated disaster. Rubble. These opportunistic cheeseballs - with the great aid of the pernicious Fox News and Internet tropes - will flog it to death, and that'll be sad.

    And, the one before him is considered one of our best Presidents ever.

    $6 trillion. Totally fucked up the economy – and a lot more – with a shitty war.

    And let me add, too, that Trump's ultimately malleable. That's the thing about him. He's a reed floating on water.

    Cruz is nothing short of a viper. His own teammates hate him in the Senate.

    Yeah, that's the scary part. His teammates might get desperate enough next year.
