Trump isn't running.

The last Fox debate, or was it one before, I forget, was nothing more than an assassination attempt. They had it all set up and the moderators were obviously in cahoots with Rubio and Cruz.

Trump is refusing to walk into another ambush.

And he can do that.

Trump is the front runner by a country mile.

He is the Big Kahuna.

He's in the Driver's seat and he can call the shots and there ain't a damned thing Fox can do about it.

Just about every comment Trump has made during this primary campaign has been to evoke hatred and violence. So if the people that are unwilling to buy into his message or promises, what else does one expect in return.

And why is it a reason to support him?

Because a whole lotta that hate is coming from the very powers that be that have had, as George Carlin used to say, their great big red, white and blue dicks up the ass of ordinary Americans for the last 40 years. They are afraid of Trump.
I certainly am.

You can take "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" only so far. We allied with Stalin to defeat the Nazis but I wouldn't have wanted to live in any country he was in charge of.

And why can't you see that he's one of the people you hate?

Getting all this nationwide hate into the open may not be all that bad a thing. Then again ...

Your theory is BS.
sorry Barbra, it;s VERY sound. The way the medical community "detoxes" people weather it be heroin or Xanax or alcohol is insane.

and don't even start me on the evils of the Methadone programs. It exists for one reason, to make money for all involved. One of the most failed programs of all time yet no one will cut it.


and another thing AA's approach is fucked up. I know this won't go down well with you but this too is truth.

I say this sincerely and without malice.

Is this ever true. Twice over the weekend they were flat out encouraging violence through their divisiveness and SUPER exaggerated claims.

His rhetoric has WAYYYYYYYYY less hate than the tea party BUT he is a MUCH better advocate for his brand than is/was any Tea Bagger.
