[Beco]

In fairness probably not but it wouldn't really surprise me either. The reality is that it's pretty easy to say that a lot of what the Republicans stand for is utterly dead in the water and won't fly moving forward. But the brand is over a century old and includes Lincoln and Reagan and has had at least a few major shifts. Even if we wake up tomorrow and the Republicans are pushing for higher taxes, abandoning Israel and green energy someone will keep the brand going.

These things go in cycles....Dem's are in, then they are out....Rep's in, then out...come on, forever is a long time. They support Israel for the Jewish vote, and thank god they preach lower taxes. Christ sake..

Except a look at history suggests that these things do not go in cycles. People say that but the evidence simply doesn't support it.

I'm fairly certain nobody posting on this board was alive the last time Republicans won the Jewish Vote. So that's probably not a good use of your energy. In fact judging by percentage of the US you'd probably be better off trying to piss atheist and agnostics off less. Getting 33% of us is better than 100% of the Jewish vote.

And our taxes are irresponsibly low. Nobody who preaches lower taxes has any business talking about the debt, deficiet or the myth of fiscal responsibility.

It was a simple tweet: @HamishP95 sent Trump a photo of newly elected U.K. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, a leftist who ran on a vaguely socialist anti-poverty, pro-immigration platform. In the tweet, the self-described Labour Party member from South England joked that Corbyn was his "dad."

Trump apparently thinks it's great that this random guy's dad is planning to vote for him—utterly clueless that the photo is of a leftist opposition leader who is splashed all over newspapers and websites.

@HamishP95 got some flak from Trump supporters in response, and those tweets—plus their responses—are also hilarious.

(More!)

September 2014, a prankster sent Trump of photo of what was supposedly his or her parents, asking that Trump retweet the photo in their memory. He obliged.

The photo was actually of notorious serial killer couple Fred and Rose West.

In a 2012 tweet, the Donald insisted that he could spot a prank from a mile away—referencing the one time that comedian Sacha Baron Cohen tried to have him on a British TV show.

Trump about 60 seconds to walk out of the interview—leaving Cohen with just enough material to create a segment that brilliantly mocked Shark Tank-like venture capital pitches.

Trump! boast-

"I never fall for scams."

To be fair if you believe in Gawd then supporting the Jewish vote is good no matter what they do in the meanwhile. I mean if you believe Revelations 100% of Atheist and agnostics are gonna try and kill you sometime soon. The more of us you can knock off early the better off you'll be!

So Trumps now touting how he is going to beef up the military. That's just what we need!

Supporting Israel also helps with the evangelical vote. They need Israel for the second coming don't cha know.

It is, we need to be so big that nobody attacks us. . .which depending on how precisely you word it hasn't happened since. . .shit. . .Hawaii wasn't technically the US during Pearl Harbor. . .I think Texas wasn't with us yet when they got hit either. . .Hey one of you hardcore history buffs, when was the last someone attacked actual American soil? Not embassies or military bases but actual US soil?

As for needing Israel for the Second Coming. . .well I guess if they didn't read their own damn book. Israel has to be in a rough spot BEFORE all that fun stuff kicks off. If you buy that shit the smartest thing you could possibly do is vote in the next Hitler!

WATCH: Larry Wilmore Skewers Trump's Sexism

"Look at that face!" Trump told Rolling Stone. "Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?" Needless to say, his comment was seen as wildly inappropriate, but when confronted later by reporters, he insisted his comments were not about her physical appearance but rather her "persona."

The Nightly Show's Larry Wilmore wasn't having any of it.

"The reason we have different words is they mean different things," Wilmore said. "What you can’t do is scream 'Nice boobs!' and then after she slaps you say, 'I was talking about your personality.' "

"When your face looks like what would happen if Owen Wilson knocked up a bean bag chair," Wilmore said, "you do not get to go around dispensing opinions on faces."

Larry is taking over for Jon Stewart.

No he's not. Sorry we don't all look alike. The kid taking over for Jon is indeed black but he is NOT Larry Wilmore who has his own show.

The kid isn't on yet is he? and Larry's doing good work.

From what I saw of the new guy, he doesn't have much gravitas in the US.

I have nothing against LArry. I think he may be a LITTLE over the top at times but all things said he's great. His show is called the Nightly Show and started early this year running after Jon Stewart's Daily Show. The new kid, Noah. . .something or other has pretty much zero gravitas in the US. I'm trying to keep a respectfully open mind when it comes to him but I can't help but look at Jon's underlings Jessica and whatever that guy's name is and think. . .gee you had two awesome choices and you choose someone else?!

At least John Oliver got his own show and it's damn good. I just wish he did more shows. I get that he couldn't do 5 shows a week and guarantee enough to run with but twice a week would be stellar.

'You're Wrong Donald!' 4 Reasons Trump's Immigration Plan Is Complete Nonsense
California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom shreds Trump's claims in clever video.


Rising Democratic Star shoves the truth down Donald.
http://www.alternet.org/files/styles/story_image/public/story_images/screen_shot_2015-09-15_at_9.35.53_am.png

Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall to stop illegal immigration on the Mexican border and deport 11 million undocumented migrants would ravage the U.S. economy and cost at least $400 billion, according to California’s Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat.

“This week California will be hosting a Republican presidential debate,” Newsom said in a short graphic video, “You’re Wrong Donald.” He continues, “It’s a perfect time to show you the truth behind his immigration ideas and how they’ll hurt all of us.”

Here It Is, the One Quote from a Donald Trump Supporter That Proves the Idiocracy Is Here

For some time now I’ve been trying to put into words why I feel like I’m completely burned out on whatever the hell it is America has become. We’ve finally reached a point in this country where our unapologetic stupidity has been weaponized and there’s just no way for someone of my meager talents to make it funny anymore.

Said one woman interviewed by Luntz, “We know his goal is to make America great again — it’s on his hat. And we see it every time he’s on TV.”

As terrific writer Luke O’Neil says, this is a quote that bears repeating. “We know his goal is to make America great again — it’s on his hat.” It’s on his fucking hat, and as you know hats can always be trusted. Jesus, no wonder these people support Trump for president — every time you see the guy he’s got a big sign in front of him that says “Trump for President.”

Since Donald Trump wears a hat that says “Make America Great Again” everywhere he goes, you know he’s serious about making America great again. It makes perfect sense. It’s on his hat.

And that sums it up. From now on, whenever anyone asks me why I’ve completely checked out, my answer is going to be, “It’s on his hat.”

I wonder how creepy this election cycle can get?

Aboard USS Iowa, Trump Takes Fire

Speaking here, aboard the decommissioned USS Iowa one night before the second GOP debate debate, the frontrunner's typically lengthy, rambling, and crowd-exciting address lasted a mere 15 or so minutes and seemed to lack his usual, and much-adored, flair.

Trump did hit his usual talking points: immigration, deficits with China and Japan, as well as thanks the host for his endorsement from the "Veterans For A Strong America" group who invited him to speak on the ship.

-Bla-Bla-bla, immigrant Menace!

The few hundred protesters brought signs and voices that carried their chants along the cool wind of the port and up to the deck of the crowded ship above. Almost all of the 850 attendees could clearly hear the "dump Trump" jeers below deck. Standing on the deck facing the Vincent Thomas Bridge, those aboard the ship could hear protesters in one ear and Trump in the other.

One woman told NBC News that she and her husband watch all of Trump's speeches; however admitted that she didn't hear much that was new from him aboard the Iowa. Another man, a veteran, David Czapiewski, 56 ,responded that "yes" Trump seemed off his game tonight, but blamed the "spur of he moment" nature of the event on Trump's uncharacteristically lackluster performance, not the protesters outside.

Despite that, Czapiewski is still a fan. "I thought he was great, he said. "And what he's trying to tell these people here that showed up is support Americans that fought in wars and made it free for these people to even protest about him. And also, we wanna make America great again. That's what it's all about."

A few moments later he conceded he liked Trump but still wasn't sure "if he's gonna make it" with competition from Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican rival Jeb Bush.

You cant beat Trump with Nobody.

He's the only guy in the room with balls. The rest are prettier and nicer but Trump has the balls. And if youre not nicer to him he'll take his balls and go home.

 

[Aglaopheme]

I really didn't hear much on foreign policy from him during his speech on foreign policy on the USS Iowa.


Is that what you think it takes to be president? Balls? Why am I not surprised......

For him, they need to be white balls.

 

[sr71plt]

Bottom line: There's no there there (which many Americans identify with).

 

[bluemoves01]

Hmmmm

I read this topic with interest and will post a more thought out comment later.

In the meantime i shall get a hat with i can make Britain great again on it and post as our new Prime Minister.

"But I've GOT BALLS !!!"

 

[sr71plt]

There was only one woman in the Republican debate last night, and she clearly had the balls of the other ten in her hand and was squeezing.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Some of them anyway. I'm still not sold she's really the best of the bunch. She's better than the two of the front runners. And no amount of me wishing things were different will get Paul through this.
