It surprises me that you could compare these two men. Like, one is a famous philanderer, has a scandalous lack of control over his sexual appetites, and is publicly preoccupied with his cock, and the other is a former president.

Why not? One disgraced his office.

If so, the new party of Trumpsters and Teabaggers will quickly become irrelevant. Without the support and infrastructure of the establishment's corporate, media, think tank and lobbying ties, it'll dry up and die (as will its old, white members). It would have a chance in a parliamentary system, but not in ours.

It's actually about time that the GOP base realized that they've been duped for nearly 50 years by the GOP by appealing to the base instincts of poor white trash while giving them nothing in return for their votes. At least that's what the conservative publication of record, National Review, asserts.

That is like saying another bottle of vodka will cure an alcoholic.

and is that a bad thing?

By the way, I think the same thing will happen if Trump gets the nomination and loses the general. The Trumpists will believe that the only possible explanation is that the election was stolen and then all Hell will break loose.
Never though of you as an alarmist.

I semi back Trump, I am semi nuts, I am semi angry, I am not leaving my living room if either happens. (much less going down the basement and breaking out the guns)

and yeah, I personally don't know so much as one Trump supporter who will leave their living room.

will a very small radical group push and shove? Yeah. Not necessarily a bad thing. Especially if it results, as Fin said, in a burn down of the GOP.


John, I love you, you know that. Read the posts. Who's extreme, me or you?

As his campaign adviser I'd have to advise him not to debate. Why? It legitimizes the others. It makes one state Kasich on the same level as he is!
It gives Ted the Canadian the opportunity to show his command of the issues.

There is no strategic reason for Trump to appear at the 13TH debate.

People do make reasoned decisions when running for President no matter what anyone thinks.

Except we will be using truth to destroy him, not his weapons of hate and fear.

I gotta tell ya', if someone dropped in from Mars they'd think you, CNN, John... the ones of anger and violence not Trump.

Or did Trump make you talk like this?

it does help... the idea that an alcoholic should stop drinking and go through withdrawal is just dumb

that bottle should be responsibly used to ween a drunk off alcohol slowly, allowing the body to adjust without violent reaction to the withdrawal
