I believe a Trump Presidency will destroy the Republican Party. It will be like getting chemo. It'll make the country sick, but it may cure the cancer too.



If you are even considering a Republican other than Trump then there is no hope for you. You are beyond redemption.

I'm hopeless and beyond redemption because I have an open mind and look at all my options?

Gee.... I kind of thought voters were supposed to consider these things seriously 😉.

I know that seems like a lot to schmucks like us, but it's pocket change compared to other candidates, with the exception of Bernie of course.

So, it's okay because he only lied a little.

Also, Citizens United makes it possible for people to make anonymous donations so the idea that the Open Secrets list is complete would be ludicrous.

If that other Republican is Cruz, and you are considering voting for him for the same reason that I am considering Trump, ie. that nominating him will seriously damage the Republican Party, then I owe you an apology.

But if you are actually seriously considering voting for a Republican because you think that person is the best one for the job, then you are so open minded that your brains have fallen out.

Because she's a vastly superior leader and candidate.

The State Department has concluded there is "top secret" material in Hillary Clinton's email correspondence from the time she was secretary of state, indicating that some of her emails will never be released, even in heavily redacted form, because they are too sensitive for the public to view.

State Department spokesman John Kirby said the material crosses seven email chains, amounting to 37 pages worth of material.

Not good for Her Evasiveness. I wonder how she will look in a prison-striped pantsuit.

Larry Sabato (the political science guru at UVa) said last week that he thought that there was at least a 20% chance that Biden (or possibly Kerry) will get into the race due to Hillary's legal troubles and Bernie's surge.
