BO so divisive that he won two general elections - 2012 with a 50 percent plus majority...

DT has - what 35 percent of 30 percent...which gives him...10.5 percent...

If you are in the 50% that supports him, great. If not get in the back seat. Yes that's unity and leadership. It's not like he used the IRS to target political opposition groups or anything. No divisiveness here move along.

 

I am not claiming trump is a unifier but you holier than thou progressives need to check yourself and look in the mirror.

Not only that, but he was really helpful down ticket.

 

I mean, yeah, he managed to lose both the House and the Senate.

 

And yeah, they lost over 900 state senate seats since 2009.

 

And yeah, they lost 11 gubernatorial seats since 2009.

 

And yeah, they lost 30 state legislative chambers since 2009.

 

Other than that...helluva play, Mrs. Lincoln.

Cool thanks for stopping by and conveniently ignoring the problem.

the problem is that the inmates have actually come to believe they can run the asylum. I don't think any reasonable person can ignore that fact. as i said, there is a precedent and it didn't go very well until reasonably sane people regained control.

Are you sure it's historical precedent?

yes.: 2. Convention or custom arising from long practice: The president followed historical precedent in forming the Cabinet

Well, as long as you didn't use futuristic precedent I guess you can repeat yourself.

Either that or he's hitting the wine early today.

 

Stumbles in.

 

"GO TRUMP!!! <hic>"

 

Stumbles out.

I used to think that Cruz would be a decent plan b but it's starting to look like he's just another establishment stooge. What a devious punk Cruz is. Siding with MoveOn? Maybe it's the anti Trump people that should lay off the drank.

I would politely ask you to check again.

 

The "Cruz sides with protesters", was a narrative quickly picked up by the media/left and by the Trump campaign

 

Here is what he said, as violence broke out, and Mr Trump's rally was canceled all together.

 

Now, the responsibility for that lies with protesters who took violence into their own hands.”

 

That’s true and it was important to say it. The next thing Cruz said was also exactly right:

 

n any campaign responsibility starts at the top. Any candidate who is responsible for the culture of the campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discourse.

 

 

That is not an indictment of Donald Trump for what lawless protesters did in Chicago. It is an indictment of Trump for encouraging rogue behavior, which inevitably begets more rogue behavior and perversely enables thugs to portray their thuggery as justifiable retaliation.
Conservatives are champions of vigorous debate within the bounds of civil discourse. As conservative commentators who have been threatened, shouted down, censored, banned from speaking, and full-time demagogued will tell you, the point is not just to get one’s message across; it is the principle that the message is entitled to be heard even if it is unpopular.
That is why we do not stoop to thug tactics or urge that the Left — with its legacy of laundering one-time terrorists into “social justice” activists — deserves an eye-for-an-eye. The law of the jungle is not the rule of law that we advocate. Civil society has to be civil society.

well said....and yet to the anarchists here, trump is a phenomenon borne of Obama's presidency. nope, it's borne from misplaced anger from those mostly disenfranchised ex middle class folks whose financial lives trump would mostly make even worse. the only candidates that would likely help these folks stop their downward spiral would be the last candidates these people would generally support. but reasoning is generally not the strong suit of this group. they do anger very well, however.

 

this is the natural consequence of a republican party drawn further and further right over many years by dangerous, self promoting zealots.

Let me add that Breitbart.com is completely and fully in the Trump tank, so it's no surprise they are ready to tweak their stories to damage the guy Andrew Breitbart considered to be the truest conservative in the GOP.

 

People are jumping off the Brietbart wagon left and right, starting with Shapiro and Fields after the alleged assault on Shields. The staff knows Trump is a fraud, but they don't get any of Trump's cash, so they're not as easy to sway.

 

Breitbart has become the right's answer to Salon. Paid for by the highest bidder.

Oh, please. You're *this* close to literally nominating a socialist to run the country on the ridiculous promise of free college.

 

You're the last one who should be talking about how far extreme a party has gone.

Reasoning has nothing to do with it. Not wanting handouts however does.

All motion is relative.

 

Maybe as the democrats continue to move farther left, its just harder for you to see the right (conservative) citizens.

different argument. Bernie is not telling gigot or maddow to stfu. he's not inciting violence. he's not offering legal fees for supporters punching protestors. and he's not going to win his party's nomination. trump is doing or is going to do all of these things. oh, and Bernie is speaking truth or at the very least what he truly believes to be the truth. trump is certainly not.

 

by appealing repeatedly to the lowest common denominator and the most base instincts and emotions, the right wing talking heads have slowly and systematically enabled him. now they're upset. wah!!!....

The only one making a different argument is you. Try to stay with me...

My point was how far extrene both sides are going, violent idiocy notwithstanding. The GOP has a fake Republican urging his supporters to fight back (sounds a little like Obama's "bring a gun to a knife fight" no?) and you have a guy -- one step away from the DNC nomination -- convincing America's youth that the problem with our country is it's not a socialist state.

 

But hey...you keep kicking the Trumpettes. Few people want Trump out as much as me.
