Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Her husband campaigned openly on the idea his wife would be his chief adviser in '92. So she was a legitimate partisan target from the start, unable to accrue any of the bipartisan goodwill usually given all First Ladies. The weird thing, which I believe I mentioned before, is that as Secretary of State her approval and favorability ratings went off the charts, stayed there before she announced she was running for President, and plummeted as soon as she did. I think she is simply identified as Big Democrat to many people.

 

He can't wait until the convention to run a third party campaign. 10 state deadlines would have passed and two would be a few days away with more on August 1.

 

Funny, liberals were saying the exact same thing about John McCain before he went batshit, went hard right and made Palin his VP.

 

Just as Clinton will need to reconcile with Sanders' supporters, any Republican nominee who isn't Trump will have to reconcile with his supporters, which won't be easy. Trump doesn't do reconciliation as a rule.

 

You're muttering. You're the old liberal in a college town who sits outside the alternative clothing store, insisting the world is rigged.

 

Rubio should get a big bounce if he wins Puerto Rico today.

LOL.

 

One thing I've noticed. Two Republican candidates have made the most aggressive attacks on Trump, Jeb and Rubio. Each promptly went down in flames. No wonder he wants a one on one with Cruz.

 

What'd I tell you?

It starts today:

 

There's nothing like carrying a jurisdiction with no vote in November to convince the party you're the electable candidate.

 

Nah. Joe The Plumber was humiliating. Sarah Palin was humiliating. The Tea Party groupies in tricorn hats, with gun-toting American eagle shirts, is humiliating. The birthers were humilitaing. A Fox News anchor suggesting Obama used a "terrorist fist jab" with his wife was humiliating.

Donald Trump is just desserts. The GOP earned this man and his candidacy. It will either learn a lesson or it won't, but it primed the pump for trump.

 

The saving grace for the GOP is once Trump goes down in flames, he's gone forever and the party — what's left of it — can dust itself off and gird for the next midterm.
