Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Sweet God, is this awesome.

 

That. Is. Awesome.

 

Preston Brooks shakes his cane in agreement.

1851: Caning of Senator Charles Sumner -- May 22, 1856

 

It was predictable that Rubio and Cruz would portray Trump as someone whose campaign contributions over time, comments from yesteryear and herky-jerky swerves in the present all call into question how committed and trustworthy a conservative he is.

But they lavished nearly as much energy on revealing Trump as an empty suit — as someone who cannot provide any policy details because he doesn’t have any detailed policies. They asked for those details. Again and again. He responded with insults and boasts.

The moderators pressed him for those details. He responded with boasts and insults. And at one cringe-inducing moment, he batted away a question from Hugh Hewitt by saying: “Very few people listen to your radio show.”

Trump never got around to explaining how his health care plan would keep people from dying in the streets without committing the government to significantly increased spending. He never got around to explaining much of anything.

And in the context of that void — and of Rubio’s imitation of a typical Trump answer — his most shopworn, banal phrases stood out.

“We’re going to win a lot,” Trump said, for the millionth time.

“Believe me,” he said, for the trillionth. Those two evasive words sounded smaller and sillier than ever.

Yeah, I don't get this either. I haven't seen much evidence he's a believer, or at he very least a bible-reading, scripture citing kinda guy.

It's something that doesn't bother me, but this act he's putting on about being religious is pretty transparent.

 

Batman-
I have tears in my eyes and my lungs hurt from laughing at that. Thank you.
This election is a fuck load of fun once you place your general disgust aside and enjoy it for the crazy jaunt it is.

 

"Secular evangelicals" = bullshit.

 

What part of Dah Holee By-bull of Jaysus says it's OK to ass-fuck your 42DD daughter?

Was it the Sermon on the Mount?

 

As the five remaining Republican presidential candidates battled it out in the Houston debate on Thursday, failed GOP candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham entertained a crowd at the Washington Press Club's annual congressional dinner with his true feelings on the 2016 race. "My party has gone batshit crazy," Graham told the crowd. The South Carolina senator lashed out at presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, adding that he thinks the billionaire will lose in the general election "because he's just generally a loser as a person and a candidate," he said. Making light of his own failed campaign and subsequent endorsement of Bush, who dropped out on Saturday, Graham called himself the Dr. Kevorkian of the Republican primary before putting on a Trump hat.

Cruz by himself can stop Trump, and Rubio by himself can stop Trump. But as long as all three are in the race, Trump can ride his 40 percent to the nomination.

 

I don't understand this rationale. Seems to me most Cruz supporters would move to Trump before going to Rubio.
