So you're saying that there are photos of Donald Trump in drag?

Trump’s numbers aren’t that good
Trump is only at 25% â€" not high enough to score wins in most primary elections and caucuses â€" and there are persuasive reasons to believe he cannot climb much higher.

Wait, what? Oh, right--this article is from Saturday 22 August 2015 07.43 EDT. Hey man, nice shot.

Trump is like an asteroid that scientists say may or may not hit the Earth in one year.  Probability metrics become clearer as time goes by. 

In my opinion, Obama made Trump.  Obama, as the "Great Divider", ran frantically to French kiss one fringe element after another, while forgetting that he was elected the President of the UNITED STATES.  Underlying his ideologically-driven policies was a desire to impose a "cultural revolution" here in the USA.  Not all of his vision was bad - just unrealistic and possibly illegal given his approach to policy implementation, the law, and the steadfast principles of democracy.

In summary - if Trump is elected to the presidency, the Republican Party will never recover, and we'll wish we had Obamax2 all over again.  If the Hag is elected, we'll lose all of the remaining respect we've lost internationally, and Bill will start collecting berets in the White House again.

In my opinion, Obama made Trump.

i think george w. bush, john boehner, mitch mcconnell, john mccain, and mitt romney made trump.

In summary - if Trump is elected to the presidency, the Republican Party will never recover...

yeah, because the republican party is already in such great shape.  another milquetoast double-talking lawyer is needed to save it, clearly.

I'll find out tomorrow if I can bring myself to vote for Trump.  I thought I could but it's not easy.  If there were only another viable alternative.

Rubio.  Or, perhaps Cruz.  Rubio consistently polls ahead of the Hag.

I agree with this too.  We've experienced a Republican Party sans conservative principles.  Actually, no guiding principles at all.

What a degraded civilization.  The Arab World needs signs like MV's avatar every few feet in their respective hell-holes countries, as well as "No Beheading Area" signs next to their "No Throwing Acid" signs in front of little girls' schools.

If you do not vote for Trump and vote for any other Republican remember their is a special place in hell for you!!1

ARE THEIR GIRLS THEY'RE???

I have no clue I was just being like Madeleine Albright at Hillary Clinton's campaign  !!1

The down side of Trump winning NH by a huge 18% margin is that Cruz's lousy 12% put him in 3rd place, and looks much better than it is.

What is really bad is anyone with double digits is going to stay in the race. So we really will not get a good handle on how far Trump is really doing. When it get to three or four people we will see if he is really that far ahead!!1

[Jackstar]

The down side of Trump winning NH by a huge 18% margin is that

I'm saying that he lost in Iowa, and he needs pay attention to the crucial NH vote coming next week, not the one in AR in four weeks that no one's paying attention to. His huge lead can evaporate in days if the undecide swing to Rubio or Cruz.  If he wins with a closing margin it will translate to a weak win and hurt him.

Look, look, read, read, don't cry: I love you.

^THIS^  It also created Ted Cruz and to a much lesser extent, Marco Rubio. 

Trump may be talking conservative right now but I have a feeling that will change with the general election if he is the nominee.  He's flip-flopped on so many issues, its hard to keep track.

I do believe that the majority of people that will vote for trump could give a shit about any record. More to the point, the more chaos he can deliver the better. If trump could guarantee a firing squad for congressmen (from both sides) he would win by a landslide.

Perhaps he should propose to build a wall around Congress and make the congressmen pay for it.

You could very well be right. 1!

All kidding aside so far he has been brilliant. He is giving Americans what Hollywood, politicians, and media have been giving us for decades. It's crap- but it is shiny, 'reality,' loud, rude, superficial, brash, and vague on any details. It is classic. He just says something like "we will pound the hell out of ISIS." Foreign policy. Islamic terror. Solved. No details. "We will fix the economy!" Done and done. Immigration? "Mexico will pay for a wall." Amazing. He has taken the political soundbite,  non-answer answer, no details jingoism to one of its purest forms and thrown it back at them. And can make true comments about how he doesn't need other's people, PACs, and corporate money, unlike them, and watch them squirm.

And even with his bizarre comb-over and orangey/red tanned face he looks better than Sanders with that creepy tongue and lip-color and the constant licking of lips and can at least surround himself with beautiful women. The mainstream politicians and media must be so frustrated. It is great!

[albrecht]

Fox experts are comparing Trump and Cruz to Nixon ('silent majority', people who think they were being disenfranchised, societal change/disruption too fast/weird, and not being liked by the mainstream Party or press (at least.) Not either of these two, or any candidate, would like the comparison with Nixon since most people, including journalist, pretty much, just think scandal "Watergate" when it comes to Nixon.

[Robert Ghostwolf's Ghost]

For all the justified derision Marco Rubio  receives for his "Marcobot" habit of falling back on the same programmed talking points no matter what the situation, it's no surprise Trump gets a pass for doing the same thing. His speech the night of the primary was indistinguishable from those he gives at every campaign appearance, and nobody seems to care. As long as he ladles up heaping helpings of bluster, blather, and braggadocio, substance and details apparently don't matter. It's really not asking too much of him to offer a concrete plan instead of vague assurances that he'll make America great again because he's a winner who knows how to make deals.

Post of the week.

I understand this now. Huge lolz.

I understand this now. Huge lolz.

if you go back and watch the original video, you can see trump say to carson something along the lines of, "they should have forgotten about jeb."  good times.

Anyone watch Funnyordie's parody of Trump's The Art of the Deal? Funny stuff.

That's a hard lookin 18, Clifford. Proving that some people get the face they deserve. Trump will probably invite Brianna to a rally now?

[Jackstar]

“lmaoooo when i say i was gonna beat her up?” he responded to one commenter who accused him of threatening women.

“i threatened her computer, so how bout you eat a d***?” he wrote back to another.

Hey, look--it's the electorate. That college is looking like a pretty clever idea now, amirite?

“SHE THREW HER STARBUCKS AT ME AFTER CUSSING ME OUT AND SHE GOT SHOVED IN THE NECK,” Durand tweeted after the Trump-induced dust-up.

"She asked him to take down the post and he said ‘make me,' " another student said.

Damn right you're right! Right as rain, man. The ordinary Americans who mindlessly idolize the Founding Fathers and their infallible wisdom based on a vague understanding of a few prominent examples, might be surprised if they knew what those esteemed sages really thought about the average fledgling citizen's ability to make informed decisions on Election Day. Thank you for opening that can of uncomfortable truth!

Stupid electorate.

[nooryisawesome]

If this ever became a three man race, I think the establishment candidate would win. Rubio, Bush, Kasich and even Carson to a lesser extent are splitting that vote up to much.

I don't think the picture will clear much until Super Tuesday.
