Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Only Chris Christie has faced more humiliation than Little Marco:

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey couldn’t have been nicer to Donald J. Trump as they campaigned together in Ohio and North Carolina on the eve of Tuesday’s primaries in both states.

Mr. Trump, not so much.

Targeting the Ohio governor, John Kasich, his chief rival in the state’s primary, Mr. Trump berated Mr. Kasich here on Monday evening for being an absentee for his time away from Ohio last fall and winter as he campaigned in New Hampshire. The only other sitting governor or senator who was in New Hampshire as much as Mr. Kasich was Mr. Christie, who has since dropped out and endorsed Mr. Trump. While most politicians would conveniently forget that fact, to spare Mr. Christie the humiliation, Mr. Trump actually highlighted it.

“Your Governor Kasich, if you look at him, and I’m being totally impartial, he goes to New Hampshire, he’s living in New Hampshire,” Mr. Trump said. “Is Chris around? He was there even more than Chris.”

Mr. Christie, fortunately, was offstage.

The Ohio remarks were an extension of a theme that Mr. Trump started in North Carolina earlier in the day. In Hickory, Mr. Christie was the questioner at a makeshift town hall event, an often-fawning role that other supporters of Mr. Trump have filled at previous events.

Mr. Trump told the crowd that he had excelled in every debate. If not, he said, he probably wouldn’t have done so well in the campaign.

“I would have been like the other people — out!” Mr. Trump said, as Mr. Christie scratched the back of his neck in the seat across from him.

Mr. Trump wasn’t so much trying to embarrass Mr. Christie as tear down Mr. Kasich, whom he attacked repeatedly during his final rally before Tuesday’s voting. Mr. Trump was not coy about the reason: He acknowledged that the Ohio contest looked like the closest of the day’s five primaries. Mr. Kasich, who is popular among many Republicans in his home state, has a small lead over Mr. Trump in some Ohio polls.

 

Somewhere with plenty of rich, white people sending their children to public schools.

 

With poor black kids?

 

This should be fun.

 

Warm up the FraudSeeker for a trip over the state line?

 

As governor of NJ, Fatboy undoubtedly has access to police investigative files with some of the really really nasty shit on Trump (mob ties, cocaine, gay sex , hookers, hushed-up abortions, paternity/STD lawsuits). I imagine he will see to it soon that shit starts getting leaked.

 

Yeah, the problem is demographics:

Mrs. Clinton, who has struggled to connect to white working-class voters in the pivotal Midwestern states, faced intense criticism over comments she made in Columbus, Ohio, on Sunday. “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business,” she said, in explaining her plan to create clean energy jobs.
...
Once optimistic about Mrs. Clinton’s chances in Ohio and the other Midwestern states, her aides, shaken by the unexpected loss in the Michigan primary last week, now say the demographics in Ohio, Missouri and Illinois favor Senator Bernie Sanders, whose economic populism andanti-trade message have resonated with young voters and white working-class men.

 

No announcement yet that Hillary will not be indicted:

 

When you're having a back and forth conversation with someone, and then they just drop off...

 

Yes, it has to be Democrats in big cities who are to blame. It can't possibly be our country refusing to properly fund education. I mean why should we take proactive means like raising taxes or, gasp, decreasing funding for the military when we can throw the kids in failing schools into prison.

When schools get worse, those with means find ways to get their children out of bad situations. They move to different neighborhoods, enroll kids in private or charter schools. Parents with fewer means or less drive don't. This isn't Democrats making policy to separate the affluent from the less well off, this is merely giving a damn about a kid's education. When people decide the solution to failing schools is to do everything except increase funding, ie the voucher talk of the early 2000s, we end up with a segregated schools.

But if blaming liberals helps you sleep at night, then by all means.

 

Yeah, the government doesn't spend enough money on education. If we just spend more, that will fix everything. Can't believe no one thought of that before.

 

What's wrong with providing choices in education?
