Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

I hope he doesn't end up beating himself with this strategy.

Good thing Sam Brownback and Rick Snyder are still around so Christie can point to governors who have failed worse.

 

The Race To The Bottom is like the Olympic 100m finals.

This is what happens when you elect motherfuckers who don't believe government should work to positions of responsibility in trying to make the government work.

 

At least Brownback hasn't sat back and allowed a whole city to be poisoned. Yet.

 

Apparently, quite a few people.

GOP debate second highest rated show in FOX News history

"The debate topped all television shows -- including broadcast programs -- on Thursday night in total viewers.

"The debate beat CNN and MSNBC combined in both total viewers and the 25-54 demo. Those networks aired segments of a Donald Trump rally, which was scheduled after the GOP contender withdrew from the Fox News debate."


Surprise: Debate ratings go up without Donald Trump

"The seventh Republican debate delivered 12.5 million viewers. That’s an increase of 13 percent from the last debate with Trump in the mix earlier this month on Fox Business Network."


This debate didn't draw as well as the first two, but it was not the "total disaster" The Donald had predicted.

 

I think on one of the Trump threads Alma had made this same basic arguement IIRC.

My very successful father in law and his even more successful wife are huge Trump supporters who a few months ago told me that Trump "tells it like it is".

Their position is starting to make sense to me.

Donald Trump Is Shocking, Vulgar and Right

 

The Times editorial board endorses Hillary Clinton, calling her "one of the most broadly and deeply qualified presidential candidates in modern history."

The Times editorial board writes that John Kasich is the only plausible choice for Republicans tired of the extremist front-runners in the primary contest.

No. He's working on an entire fucking state.

 

I'm shocked the NYT didn't endorse Cruz ...

 

Does @Starman know about this?

 

Bernie is the 2016 heir to Obama (2008 and 2012) and Howard Dean (2004) as the candidate swept into popularity by the young idealistic wing of the party. HRC, given her DLC roots and decidedly centrist politics, was never going to be this group's first choice nor was she going to say the kinds of things necessary (single payer! Tax the billionaires! Tax the corporations!) to gain its favor. Her strategy should be to avoid angering these folks and pick up their support when the choice becomes HRC vs Trump or Cruz or Rubio. She will need their grassroots organizing ability.
