    1. I wouldn't go that far, TU. It was cute all right, and showed that Trump is good at making a quick comeback, I laughed just too, but I'd hardly call the exchange "consequential."

  3. I thought that the panal was there to Set Up Trump and to make him look bad. those jerks set up Trump with the very first question, because they already knew what his answer was going to be. Trump didn't get questions, he got attacked..
    I was glad to see the way Tump slapped Paul down...
    The thing that I admire about Trump is that he says what is on his mind, right wrong or indifferent, he doesn't give you any of that bible thumping crap...

    1. Debonair Dude,

      I agree!

      That particular question shouldn't have been asked first crack out of the barrel; clearly, doing so was an attempt to (1) fire up Trump so that he would implode and (2) marginalize Trump for the entire debate.

      I would have had no problem with the question had it been asked at the end of the debate.

    2. I agree, AOW, that Dr. Carson in his quiet, unassuming, way showed more intelligence, wit, dignity, and admirable self-control than anyone else on the stage last night. I also agree that Megyn Kelly's performance was rude, disrespectful and unnecessarily provocative. I thought it set exactly the WRONG tone for the entire evening, which went very well, in spite of FOX's apparent to derail serious commentary n the issues by forcing the candidates to engage in "personalities."

      All that aside there wasn't one candidate from either of the two debates who would not make a better president than the foolish, farcical fiend who now occupying the White House or the hideous harpy waiting in the wings to seize power with her talons, while her shrieking voice and toxic breath befoul the air as her fangs drip blood.

    3. FT,
      It is my opinion that FNC is in the bag for Karl Rove.

      Delete
    4. If by "Karl Rove" you mean "The RINO Establishment," AOW, I couldn't agree more.

      EVERYBODY in play –– L AND R –– has a pet agenda, I fear, and it's up to US, the American Public, to educate ourselves and our children enough to be able to appreciate SINCERITY and SEE THROUGH false, tendentious, rhetoric using sophistry, guile, and specious logic to gain advantage.

      I don't care if it comes from "OUR" side or "THEIRS," dissembling in ANY form MUST be regarded as undesirable, even though it's been a time-honored practice since the earliest days of the republic.

      Don't you think it's time we GREW UP, and STOPPED using false reasoning and shameless demagoguery to try to gain control of "Others?"

      Delete
    5. FT,
      Karl Rove's "doctrine" is electability. He is not a man of political principles. Period.

      Delete
    6. I don't think I tried to deny that, AOW, but I DID try to make a larger point which I hope you didn't miss. The problem is no TRUMP or FOX or ROVE. It is OUR inability as a PEOPLE to see beyond the end of our own noses.

      Delete
    7. FT,
      I understand your larger point -- and it is laudatory.

      The problem now is that so many are incapable of anything but rants, uncivil discourse, etc. The Left unleashed that lion, and it is roaming at large now, ready to devour all regardless of political persuasion.

      Can't put a genie back into the bottle!

      Delete
    8. You're right about that, AOW, but we CAN do what I'm trying to do every day, and that is stand up for what-we-believe-to-be-the Truth with a modicum of dignity and as much eloquence as we can muster –– to set as good an example as we can of writing with clarity and good humor –– to discourage acrimony, insolence, mindless repetition of dogmatic canned sentiments, and to be as open and friendly as possible to all without capitulating to wanton aggression.

      It may be a cliché, as well as a bit of an oxymoron, but it remains true nonetheless:

      THE ONE THING WE CANNOT TOLERATE is INTOLERANCE.

      Delete
    9. By the way, AOW, karl Rove's judgment as to who is and is not "electable" has been proven wrong over and over and over again. Ergo, isn't it about time the RINO Establishment gave him the old Heave Ho –– unless, as I suspect more and more, they are heavily invested in LOSING in order to be rewarded by The Oligarchs?

      Delete
    10. FT,
      we CAN do what I'm trying to do every day, and that is stand up for what-we-believe-to-be-the Truth with a modicum of dignity and as much eloquence as we can muster

      I don't disagree.

      But the situation will get much worse before it gets better.

      And we should also keep in mind that there is some truth to the adage "The squeaky wheel gets the oil."

      As for Karl Rove, I will concede that he is some kind of oligarch.

      Now, not all oligarchs are bad, nor are oligarchs always undesirable -- particularly if they have good principles. Karl Rove does not!

      Of the oligarchs think they're going to "win" by losing, they are wrong. It's the end of the line for one group or the other: the oligarchs or the peasants.

      Delete
    11. BTW, Rove may not be an actual oligarch, but rather a member of the shadow government, which has a long history and not one limited to the United States.

      Except that Rove isn't in the shadows, is he? He's too much of a media who to do that -- unlike other previous members of the shadow government.

  4. The moderators were embarrassing,it was so obviouse that they were bias against Trump
    Magan Kelley and Chris Wallace were embarrassing.
    They were all attacking trump with total low blows and set-up questions but we knew that they would do everything to sabotage Trump..Pathetic! . Bret Bair was the only honest one there.

    ReplyDelete
  5. That was the worst spectacle of bias and a hit job as I have ever seen by the Republicans yet, this was pathetic.
    I thought that the moderators were shameful, this is how fox pulled the rabbit out of the hat, Megan Kelly , got what she deserved, I have watched Chris Wallace for years never thought of you being unfair, and the stupid irrelevant questions they asked Donald Trump was appalling, I hope he DOES go third party the republican party deserves it. Their tactic was to ignore the biggest threat and hope he either goes away, or says something that would destroy himself. Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace were the losers.

    And to top it off, who did Megan Kelly have as her last guest on her program following the debates? None other than that total idiot Debbie Wasserman Shultz the head of the DNC who praised her to high heaven for a job well done! Of course she would praise Megan! She could have worked for MSNBC the way she went after especially Trump! The question about who on the panel thinks God has sent them a message was down right snarky and uncalled for! Worst debate I've ever seen! Just downright distasteful and disgusting and shameful!.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    And on another note, in the news yesterday.. Chuckie Schumer said that he will vote against the Iran “Deal”...................I'll believe it when I see it. But If Schumer keeps his word to oppose the Obama sell-out, he will get my deepest apology.
    And maybe even my vote.

  7. Here's what I said in a comment at my blog this morning....

    If I had to say which one of the candidates in the second event did himself the most good, I'd choose Huckabee. I never much liked him before, so this is not "my bias in favor of Huckabee" making this statement.

    Walker did himself some damage with his statement about abortion -- the statement that seemed to convey that he would never favor an abortion in order to save the mother's life.

    Dr. Carson's last two statements were excellent -- his statement about race and his closing remarks.

    I liked Mark Rubio before the debate started, and I think that he held his own. Maybe a no-harm-no-foul outcome for him.

    Jeb Bush did too much pandering for votes.

    1. Dr. Carson is the smartest, most likable person in the pack, AOW. Unfortunately, people fall for the Loudest Flashiest most Disingenuous Noisemakers all the time.

      I didn't realize it till last night, but Ben Carson has genuine WIT. He's very low key, but only a fool would want to get on his wrong side.

      Delete
  8. BTW, in the first event, Carly Fiorina was the clear winner, IMO.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No question about that. I spotted Fiorina as brilliant, incisive, attractive in a no nonsense sort of way, yet very good-natured weeks ago, and have been hoping she'd gain more traction. In fact I was astonished she did not get into the Prime Time Debate.

      If the RNC were SMART, which Alas! we know it is not, they'd make sure that Carson and Fiorina shared the ticket in the next election. Either could be at that top, I'd be pleased to see it either way. Having a black and woman –– both brilliant, attractive people of proven accomplishment –– would spike Hillary's guns for a fare thee well.

      WHAT could she POSSIBLY say AGAINST either, and hope to maintain even the faintest sense of credibility? };-)>

      Delete
    2. FT,
      THIS is my one concern about Carly Fiorina:

      ...On the morning of September 11, I awoke to the news that the World Trade Center had been struck. Like many of you, I stood transfixed, staring at the images on television, horrified by the events unfolding before our eyes. And like many Americans, I felt a deep and extraordinary connection to the people in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and on those airplanes, to the companies decimated, to the families forever altered, to the parents, and fathers, and mothers, and children who are still hoping beyond hope that their family members will return.

      And as a business leader, I experienced a whole other set of emotions - first and foremost concern for the safety of our employees and their families. Concern for the security of our employees who are of Middle Eastern descent or who practice the Muslim religion here in the US and abroad.

      [...]

      There was once a civilization that was the greatest in the world.

      It was able to create a continental super-state that stretched from ocean to ocean, and from northern climes to tropics and deserts. Within its dominion lived hundreds of millions of people, of different creeds and ethnic origins.

      One of its languages became the universal language of much of the world, the bridge between the peoples of a hundred lands. Its armies were made up of people of many nationalities, and its military protection allowed a degree of peace and prosperity that had never been known. The reach of this civilization’s commerce extended from Latin America to China, and everywhere in between.

      And this civilization was driven more than anything, by invention. Its architects designed buildings that defied gravity. Its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the building of computers, and the creation of encryption. Its doctors examined the human body, and found new cures for disease. Its astronomers looked into the heavens, named the stars, and paved the way for space travel and exploration.

      Its writers created thousands of stories. Stories of courage, romance and magic. Its poets wrote of love, when others before them were too steeped in fear to think of such things.

      When other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them, and kept them alive. When censors threatened to wipe out knowledge from past civilizations, this civilization kept the knowledge alive, and passed it on to others.

      While modern Western civilization shares many of these traits, the civilization I’m talking about was the Islamic world from the year 800 to 1600, which included the Ottoman Empire and the courts of Baghdad, Damascus and Cairo, and enlightened rulers like Suleiman the Magnificent.

      Although we are often unaware of our indebtedness to this other civilization, its gifts are very much a part of our heritage. The technology industry would not exist without the contributions of Arab mathematicians. Sufi poet-philosophers like Rumi challenged our notions of self and truth. Leaders like Suleiman contributed to our notions of tolerance and civic leadership.

      And perhaps we can learn a lesson from his example: It was leadership based on meritocracy, not inheritance. It was leadership that harnessed the full capabilities of a very diverse population–that included Christianity, Islamic, and Jewish traditions.

      This kind of enlightened leadership — leadership that nurtured culture, sustainability, diversity and courage — led to 800 years of invention and prosperity....


      She gave that speech on September 26, 2001. Have her views changed? Has she done any research regarding the whitewash of Islam -- namely, about the realities of the Golden Age of Islam?

      Delete
    3. Still, I'd pay good money to see Carly Fiorina debate Hillary Clinton.

      Delete
    4. That's very interesting, AOW. It's certainly beautifully phrased. I give her full marks if she wrote it herself. I have to wonder about the context, however. She was not attempting to gain political office at the time, was she? I am certain that most well-educated, polished, civilized Christian people were doing their best to avoid the kind of violent persecution Mob Rule would bring to bear if primitive passions had been inflamed by demagogic leadership at the time of 911.

      I. myself, felt illegalization of Islam as an aggressive, inherently seditious political entity plus confiscation of the mosques and mass deportation of all Muslims INCLUDING native-born Americans would have been the appropriate course of action at the time –– a radical position that made me the target of much abuse.

      Ms. Fiorina probably sensed that sort of passion simmering just beneath the surface, felt it could lead to tragedy, and therefore did her best to quell it.

      Even though I still feel much as i did then, I have to respect her for following the dictates of her conscience and expressing her thoughts with near-poetic eloquence. I don't believe she is a vain, shallow, ill-educated creature.

      I understand your concern, however. We need to learn more.

  9. I think that the Trump held his own. Carson looked at little weak – but had great closing statement. The winners were Cruz, Rubio, Huckabee, and Christie, ran a close 4th.
    Paul looked pretty bad and most likely buried himself.

  10. At first I thought Trump would be a fluke that would have burnt himself out by now , but...now I'd say he has a very good chance of being the Republican nominee now. He handled that pile of crap Mei Gin Kel Lee and Kris Walrus who tried to force feed him quite well and they looked like real idiots because of it. And Trump knew how to answer in kind..
    Fox made it clear who they wanted to win that debate.
    But I still think that Trump did well. Fox definitely tried to get rid of Trump but they didn't succeed. Trump is too good to fall into their trap. He constantly outwits the establishment, that's why I like him.
    Like Trump said; It is very simple. You cannot have open borders if you expect to maintain any kind of law and order and to keep out illegals..
    I'm betting his poll numbers go up. And that sums it up pretty accurately.
    As far as the others in the debate, I thought that Christie's performance was a lot better than I expected.
    Walker made me Yawn.
    Kasich sounded reasonable, but only that and that wasn’t enough.
    Jeb Bush who I never liked, didn’t impress me at all.
    Carson, was cute but not at all impressive.
    Paul got my vote for the Biggest Idiot. He looked and sounded much like his fruit-cake Father.
    Megyn Kelly’s remark or question to Trump about Women was not only Stupid, but it made her look like a Liberal who was out to destroy him. She didn’t ask any outrageous questions like that to anyone else but him.

    To democrats, Hillary’s flying around the world, and putting in a record amount of mileage is an accomplishment. Never mind that every country that she visited is in worse shape for it, except our enemies.

    As far as that post by that typical Liberal Idiot “IMHO” It’s very clear that the author of that comment is a delusional, Kool aid drinking, Progressive IDIOT, who is scared in his or her pants of Mr. Trump, as most Liberals Loons are.. Trump will eat up Hillary Clinton and spit her out like the Vermin she is.

  13. Please, all you bleeding heart Liberals, get your facts straight before commenting. You leftists will do and say anything to deny the invasion of the USA by these illegal Mexican invaders.

    What gives with these assholes? All these liberals say that Mexico has universal health care. It has no death penalty. Marijuana, though technically illegal, is legal in practice and readily available in most parts of Mexico. Mexico has free public education (although, gasp, proof of Mexican citizenship is required to attend Mexican public schools!). In recent years Mexico's abortion laws have been liberalized substantially. Mexico has a mandatory social security system, so all Mexicans receive some kind of retirement pension. Great Tacos, Enchiladas and Quesadillas, they allow you to pee in the streets, so what's the problem?

    So why are tens of thousands of these bad ass Mexicans leaving Mexico and entering the U.S. illegally every year? What gives here?

I GREATLY admired Rand's father, who may appear eccentric, but who was the ONLY contender for the nomination who spoke the truth in the last round of debates before the 2008 election.

      The son? Not a bad guy, but he's totally lacking in charm, humor or persuasiveness. In other words he ain't got no charisma. ;-)

  19. "Trump has a reputation for being brash and insulting. In the past, he's verbally attacked immigrants, women, the sitting president, Sen. John McCain and basically anyone who disagrees with him. His social media presence only serves to boost this image of political incorrectness.

    The question now is... Do the voters want him to be the voice of America to the rest of the world?"

    Only that segment of the voting population that revels in seeing buffoons insulting other buffoons. Thankfully, that's a small, small voting segment. It cannot elect someone as repulsive as Donald Trump, no matter what delirious fantasies bounce around inside their vapid skulls

  24. It was a weird day The first GOP "debate" (that was not a debate), and Jon Stewart's last show. Wow, I forgot just how many comedy stars came out of that show.

    The "debate" was more like the Q&A part of a high school beauty contest moderated by other high school kids. Did you call Tina a slut? No! Just that she's flirtatious, that's all.

    Luntz said Fiorina, Cruz, and Huckabee were the big winners from yesterday. As a liberal, watching this, not too much surprised me, but perhaps Kasich talking about homosexuality was interesting, Rubio talking about immigration, Walker talking about law enforcement, a few things.

    Overall it was very vanilla. FOX managed this carefully to avoid hurting anyone except Trump, and I think they only helped him by doing so.

      His intentions may be hateful and destructive, but we cannot say he's been WEAK in doing what HE wants to do. In that regard his strength is almost MONSTROUS.

    ...[T]he candidate who really had the hard time was the man who is second in the polls, Jeb Bush.

    He wasn’t terrible, but he wasn’t very good. He looked like a person who had wandered into a race he wasn’t really interested in.

    Carly Fiorina, who has very little chance to be nominated, had shown more fire than Jeb in a separate debate earlier in the evening.

    Jeb was supposed to be “the smart one” in his family. And maybe he is.

    Maybe he has seen up close what the job does to you and he doesn’t want any part of it.

    1. This statement resonates well with me:

      "Dr. Ben Carson had a wonderful evening. He was articulate and, at times, funny. Carson stayed out of the verbal jabbing that cost Christie and Paul some points this evening."

      I'm delighted to learn that at least ONE source concurs with the opinion I formed last night.

      IF Dr. Carson could be elected president, and Ms. Fiorina vice president, it could very likely give our country the shot in the arm she so desperately needs and move us decidedly into a new era of renewed strength, vigor, productivity and elevated status in the world once again.

      That said it may be all but impossible to halt the hurtling downward slide of a metaphorical snowball gathering size and momentum as gravity dominates its course.

      I doubt if there's much hope left for us, but if our present course is ever to be reversed, the one thing we must not give up is hope.

    2. Carson is all over the place on the issues. I don't know why you guys like this guy. I think you'd be unpleasantly surprised by a Carson presidency. He'd turn left fast. Fiorina is a Republican technocrat businesswoman who is also a little insane, so her I can see you guys liking.

    3. Dr. Carson is a rara avis, Jersey. A true individual who's proven himself worthy –– a person with great accomplishments to his credit that prove him superior beyond any shadow of a doubt.

      You might be surprised at how very liberal I am on many issues. Thinking People, one of whom I like to believe I am, work hard to render themselves immune to GroupThink of any kind, rarely allow themselves to be pigeon-holed or taken for granted by any particular faction, and try always to avoid the legalistic approach, and come down on the side of Mercy, Self-Discipline, Common Sense and what-used-to-be-known-as Good Taste whenever possible.

    4. "Superior." He's a slow talking, slow thinking moron. I am not the least bit impressed by Dr. Carson save for only his apparently high skill at neurosurgery. He says dumb, simpleminded things all the time. He seems to exist only in himself, relying on personal experience for all wisdom. So, you can pretend to be all high-minded supporting that stupid simpleton, but you're not fooling me.

  33. Why DIDN’T Megyn Kelley ask “The Donald” any of these issues of the day questions? Rather than make a Monkey out of herself?
    Why didn’t she ask about:
    On National Security issues’s: (Iran, Isis, Islam, Israel, Russia, China, Benghazi, Hillary Clinton”s e-mail, our Military)
    U.S. Economy (Jobs, Tax Reform, Flat Tax, Offshoring, Keystone Pipeline, Trade Policy)
    On Immigration (Labor, Unions, Assimilation, Voter Fraud, Sanctuary Cities)
    On Entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare, Social Programs)
    On Education (Common Core, Vouchers)
    On Healthcare (Obamacare failures, costs, lack of real competition, VA Hospital)
    And how about the failure and corruption of the political class (President, Congress)
    Public Employee Unions (one-sided politics, unfunded liabilities, fraud)
    Or on Woman's issues, Abortion, Planned Parenthood, War on Women)
    On Civil Liberties (Racial Politics, Social Justice)
    On Gun control, violence in the inner cities, demonization of police in our big cities such as New York, and Baltimore, and Ferguson!
    How about on Drugs
    And especially on Foreign Policy
    Media Bias (False narratives, Ferguson, lack of coverage on liberal issues)
    Or on Repealing Obama’s Executive Orders
    Hillary Clinton many, many, scandals such as Benghazi, Email, Clinton Foundation for example.
    The back room money deals of ODumbo and Hillary and Reid, Holder and the rest of the Whores in Washington.
    Or on Voter Fraud, and on Photo-ID
    The influence of the so-called Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson
    And about the Divisiveness, that is going on in American.
    NOT about Calling women names! Or on his Bankruptcies, it was obvious that she had an agenda and she didn’t hide it well.. What a disappointment she turned out to be.

    1. Good question! Why don't you write to Megyn and ask HER, yourself? I have some ideas of my own, namely that I believe she was given "marching orders" by Command and Control at FOX, who've made it quite plain they dislike Trump's entry into the race, but I don't KNOW that for a fact.

      I wonder if she'd be able to give you a straight answer if you could get to her?

      All of us are called upon from time to time to do things we don't particularly like or believe in in order to keep our jobs.

      I didn't like some of the questions she asked either, but that doesn't mean I feel se is now an "enemy."

  34. So Donnie's performance at the Q&A and post-Q&A didn't hurt him as some predicted. He's still beloved by the TGOP. Look at how quickly the Megyn Kelly lovers went after her and threw their support to the misogynist. (But who's surprised by the nativist old white males in the TGOP base who, when given the choice between supporting a beautiful blonde vs. a loud-mouth bully, will always choose the bully?). Megyn Kelly is now seen as a traitor who, along with FAUX NOOZ, is trying to destroy the TGOP's hero, Donald "Megyn had blood coming out from wherever" Trump.

  40. REPOSTED from AOW's BLOG (edited for clarity):

    american4americansAugust 8, 2015 at 8:16:00 AM EDT

    Does the BS from the media never end? I guess that the truth does hurt.

    Lets get a few things straight:

    Donald Trump did not steal your money.

    Donald Trump did not raise your taxes.

    Instead of him calling him names, making fun of his Hair and trying to be funny, how about trying to deny anything that he has said?

    There are things that should not have been asked at the debate, and there are things that should have been asked, and discussed at Leftist blogs.

    Try this: Ask the same questions that you would ask any other candidate, Liberal or Conservative, and stop making personal attacks on a candidate because you want to hound him out of the race.

    Donald Trump did not quadruple the price of food since 2008.

    Trump is not stirring a race war.

    Trump did not leave any US soldiers in Benghazzi to be slaughtered and desecrated by Muslims.

    Trump did not send the US Navy to fight for Syrian Al-Qaeda.

    Trump did not arm ISIS and systematically exterminate Christians throughout the Middle East.

    Trump did not betray Israel.

    Trump did not provide financing and technology to aid Iran's nuclear weapons program.

    Trump did not give our military secrets to China.

    Trump did not remove our nuclear missile shield in Poland at the behest of Russia.

    Trump did not shrivel our military, and betray our veterans.

    Trump did not cripple our economy.

    Trump did not increase our debt to 20-TRILLION dollars.

    Trump did not ruin our credit, twice.

    Trump did not double African-American unemployment.

    Trump did not increase welfare to record levels for eight years.

    Trump did not sign a law making it legal to execute, and imprison Americans.

    Trump did not seek to free terrorists in Guantanamo Bay.

    Trump did not steal your rights, violate US Constitutional law, or commit treason.

    Yet, Donald Trump is being ripped apart in the news non-stop, while Barrack Hussein Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and the rest of the scoundrels occupying our government, are not being held accountable for their wrongdoing.

    The media is in league with the Democratic Party.

    Oh, and as far as HILLARY goes, how about trying to deny ANY of the things for which SHE under investigation, and the many other things she's done that OUGHT to be investigated?

    You can say whatever you want about Donald Trump. I don’t have to defend him, he does a pretty good job of that, himself, BUT, Trump is a more HONEST person than Hillary has EVER been or will ever be. Was he ever caught saying any LIES? Made up stories, “Misspoke?" NO, Trump tells it the way he honestly believes it is.

    Furthermore, he has said NOTHING derogatory about MEXICANS. He has said what American citizens KNOW, namely that his country in order to survive HAS to close its borders to ILLEGAL Immigration.

    Donald Trump gets it. Political Correctness is not even in his vocabulary.
    Trump has told the truth, that's all, and a lot of people can’t handle it.

    Save your culture. Stop listening to the media.

Personally I think that she deserves everything that Trump throws at her. The should have known better when they hired her to do their dirty work. I DON’T have any respect for two faced double-dealing frauds, or conservatives turning on each other..
    We, as a nation, are being sold down the river and all the peripheral bullshit aside, Mr. Trump is saying what most of us Americans are thinking.. And Trump can take the low road if and when he has to..Lets not forget that there is more than one way to skin that proverbial cat. And that there's life in the old dog..

  49. From the Trump campaign (again, nothing of substance on policy issues, just more back and forth on ad hominem attacks and personal insults -- that's all Trump is about, and the Tea-Pee-ers lap it up).

    "Mr. Trump made Megyn Kelly look really bad — she was a mess with her anger and totally caught off guard. Mr. Trump said “blood was coming out of her eyes and whatever” meaning nose, but wanted to move on to more important topics. Only a deviant would think anything else. This related to the debate, which because of Mr. Trump had 24 million viewers — the biggest in cable news history. According to TIME, Newsmax, Drudge Report, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Hill and many others, Mr. Trump won the debate.
    By the way, the guy (Erick Erickson) who made the decision about RedState called Supreme Court Justice David Souter a “goat [expletive] child molester” and First Lady Michelle Obama a “Marxist Harpy.” He was forced to make a humbling apology.

    Also, not only is Erick a total loser, he has a history of supporting establishment losers in failed campaigns so it is an honor to be uninvited from his event. Mr. Trump is an outsider and does not fit his agenda.

    Many of the 900 people that wanted to hear Mr. Trump speak tonight have been calling and emailing—they are very angry at Erickson and the others that are trying to be so politically correct. To them Mr. Trump says, “We will catch you at another time soon.”

    If the Democrats wanted to make the TGOP look like a disorganized in-fighting version of the Jerry Springer show, they couldn't have come up with a better person to lead them. It's The Donald, all the way down
    I guess the Tea Party finally has someone "who will and can do what they have been wanted done for many years now."

    The TP thinks Trump is not a typical lying politician. Heh. But fact checkers have found his statements Mostly False, False, and Pants On Fire Liar. But the dunderheads who support him aren't concerned with pesky facts like that. And besides in their minds, all fact checking sites are run by Communist Libtards, especially sites that back up their findings with facts.
    And in their simple minds, we Democrats "are on the defensive" calling Trump names!

    These are the A-Holes that support Trump.

  57. I have very little sympathy for Kelly or anyone else who works for Fox because of the lack of integrity and willingness to lie that is a requirement for that network's employment. However, his comments were, as usual, repugnant and have no place in public discourse.

    It infuriates me when people praise Trump for being 'politically incorrect' and telling it like it is. He's NOT politically incorrect - he's an offensive, abusive, misogynistic, racist, narcissistic, malevolent bully who thinks he can do or say whatever he wants. If he cannot handle a simple question on a Fox debate stage without losing control, how is he supposed to deal with antagonistic foreign leaders who are not going to be intimidated by his hostile personality? How is he supposed to deal with the negotiations necessary to get any legislation through Congress? Threats and intimidation don't work in that level of government and you can't just file for another bankruptcy if you destroy the national economy.

    As embarrassing as the rest of the GOP field may be, I am most ashamed that the rest of the world sees that Donald Trump is actually considered a viable candidate for President of the United States.
