    Kasich would beat Trump in a primary were it held now.

    In 2020...gotta see where the economy is.

    But, then, lots of people would have beaten Trump last primary, too, if there hadn't been several selfish assholes trying to win trying to show how smart they (CRUZ, in full Gingrich mode) and/or make money off of running for it (HUCKABEE, CARSON, ET AL).

    Kasich, I think, was sincere. Rubio, too. Jeb Bush was.

    John McCain seems like a warm and friendly guy compared to Fucko.

    Example A of a guy the media loved, and told us we should nominate, only to turn on him when we nominated him.

    Well, don't forget the bimbo dingbat imbecile he decided (or was convinced to, whatever) to put on the ticket, theoretically a heartbeat away.

    And don't forget McCain's own panicked/confused/incoherent response to the financial meltdown of September: "I'm suspending my campaign/ wait, maybe I'm not/ hang on, I'll get back to you in a week," etc etc." Obama's response wasn't brilliant or inspirational, but he didn't seem to be spinning around in a panic as McCain did.

    McCain did himself in with a cascade of
    bad decisions, which all combined to make him look like an undependable decision maker.

    Who now looks like Socrates compared to the idiocy of Fucko.

    President Donald Trump's retweet of a Fox News story claiming US satellites detected North Korea moving anti-ship cruise missiles to a patrol boat is raising eyebrows on Tuesday after US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley indicated that the information in the report is classified and was leaked. ...

    "It is alarming the casualness with which President Trump shares classified information," Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu of California told CNN's Poppy Harlow Tuesday. "Just because something is in the press doesn't make that information no longer classified, so the President should not be tweeting classified information just because he as the President."

    Will Fischer, an Iraq War veteran and director of government relations for VoteVets, was also critical of the retweet and questioned what role -- or lack thereof -- new chief of staff John Kelly had in the process.

    "It is absolutely terrifying to see that information that Ambassador Haley said was 'dangerous' to print was retweeted by Donald Trump," Fischer said in a statement. "The question for everyone to ask is: What did General Kelly say? If he told Donald Trump to retweet this, there's a real problem. If he told Trump not to, and Trump ignored him, that's a big problem. If Donald Trump is refusing to consult with his chief of staff on any of this, that's a huge problem, especially given General Kelly's military background."

    Trump's motive for retweeting the Fox News story remains unclear but the decision to promote a report that -- according to the US ambassador to the United Nations -- contains classified information leaked to the press by anonymous sources comes just days after the President praised Attorney General Jeff Sessions' plan to combat that very practice in the name of national security.

    If Fucko wasn't the "president," he'd be in prison right now.

    A privatized military force! What a "bold plan," indeed.

    Although not exactly "original."
