@snood,
Going after WallStreet
Competence in Government is not negotiable
Illegal is illegal, the mexicans have to be kept out (though I dont agree with sending everyone back like he does)
Hire the best
The people matter, all the people
Make your case, being a member of the elite does not make you right
If you are going to play play to win
Nice is overrated
Feelings are overrated
Victim culture has to go
Those who win should be rewarded
Tell the Truth
That is what matters, almost no one gives a **** about policy anymore, at least what politicians claim as their policy, they always lie. We are fitting the man for the chair, all of the particulars can come later, and they wont get right without the right person in the chair, as has been proven to us over and over.
Hillary is busy giving us her positions in the current version of Hillary...Hillary 12.3. It will not matter, almost no one will be listening.
You are 20 years out of date Snood.
Sorry.

If anyone can shine the light that exposes this abyssal assclown, Colbert can. He proved to me that he is unafraid of repercussions from the powerful when he shitfaced George Bush at point blank range at the Correspondent's dinner a couple years ago.
@snood,
I think it's already been shown but no one knows what to do with the information. He is ignorant and there's a crowd of people that digs stupid. Can stupid be fought?

Great plan....call the people stupid for objecting to the proven incompetence of the elite and going the other way. That always works.
It is you who is going to end up reformatting your brain in the end, not the people who support Trump, Sanders, Carson, the Tea Party,...

I think the main thing that keeps him afloat is channeling the rage of people who have felt like they lost their country to the black family in the white house. BUT (and this is where I think Colbert might be useful) a part of Trump's attraction is he appears to be able to get away with talking nonsensical, insulting smack to anyone, anywhere, and I think that appeals to a large amount of white men who feel impotent and powerless - they want to be able to do that. I think there's a chance that with Colbert, for the first time Trump won't get to walk away without looking stupid. And I think that could help deflate this stupid dirigible of fetid gas.

Of course, because you can never get past Race, you have proven that over and over again. That is your personal problem, not America's for the most part.
Hey Snood, why is Obama still alive? You insisted that angry white guy racists would gun him down.
Obama benefited greatly by his race, if he was not black his approval rating would be down into the 20's.
@hawkeye10,
Quote:think there's a chance that with Colbert, for the first time Trump won't get to walk away without looking stupid.
Possible, because Colbert has a good enough egg head to keep up with Trump, but not likely because Trump understands Colberts game a lot better than Colbert understands Trumps.
I mentioned possible hara kiri earlier, if he is elected.
That is so not me.
I may have to commit hairy cheese whiz.
Quote:For any other presidential candidate, making off-color -- and arguably sexist -- comments about a female competitor would likely result in an insurmountable problem with women voters.
Not so for Donald Trump. At least not yet.
A new CNN/ORC poll shows that Trump has increased his lead among Republican women, boosting his share to 33% of women voters, up from 20% a month ago.
The real estate tycoon has repeatedly defied the normal rules of politics, building his standing among almost every GOP demographic group and leaving his opponents scrambling for how to respond. Jeb Bush said that Trump couldn't insult his way to the White House, yet Trump's insult-heavy strategy appears to be working, as Bush sits at 9% in the polls.

I said it many hours before CNN did.
Quote:"Although there was once a strong component of feminism and women's rights advocacy within the GOP, feminism is now strongly associated with the Democrats," said Catherine Rymph, who wrote the book "Republican Women." "So voters, including women, who don't like Democratic feminism or so-called 'political correctness' in general may very well find refreshing Trump's delight in using language about women that many find offensive."
Well ya, because the leftist radicals drove everyone else out.
Surprise! Donald Trump's Father Was Probably in the Ku Klux Klan
How fitting.

According to a 1927 New York Times article, it seems that the father of billionaire Republican presidential candidate and professional bile-spewer Donald Trump may have had ties to the Ku Klux Klan.
The Times piece, subtitled “Klan Assails Policemen” and recently unearthed by Boing Boing, identifies a man named Fred Trump as among those arrested for participating in a brawl between the cops and the Klan. As Talking Points Memo notes, the Queens borough address listed for the arrested man, “172-24 Devonshire Road, Jamaica,” matches the known lifelong residence of the real estate mogul’s father.
ADVERTISING
Per theTimes article, which you can read in its entirety here, members of the Klan made an agreement with Police Commissioner Joseph A. Warren not to wear any “symbols of the order” in a parade, then went on to break their promise; they “not only wore gowns, but had hoods over their faces almost completely hiding their identity.” The “near riot” that followed happened when “1,000 Klansmen and 100 policemen staged a free-for-all battle.”
Of course, it could all be one big coincidence that the man fingered in the article shares the name and address of the man who nearly two decades later would sire Donald Trump. But it doesn’t look good from here. The twentysomething Trump from the Times piece was represented by the same counsel as the Klansmen in the article, though he appears to have been released without a fine.
As Boing Boing notes, if Fred Trump – he of the Klan riot – is, indeed, one in the same with The Donald’s father, “it would not be his last tangle with the law over issues concerning minorities”:
A 1979 article, published by Village Voice, reported on a civil rights suit that alleged that the Trumps refused to rent to black home-seekers, and quotes a rental agent who said Fred Trump instructed him not to rent to blacks and to encourage existing black tenants to leave. The case was settled in a 1975 consent degree described as "one of the most far-reaching ever negotiated," but the Justice Department subsequently complained that continuing "racially discriminatory conduct by Trump agents has occurred with such frequency that it has created a substantial impediment to the full enjoyment of equal opportunity.”
I’m not going to repeat all the despicable and racist nonsense Donald Trump has vomited up over the last few months because the Internet can help you find that fairly quickly, but this all seems to makes sense, considering. Would it be a surprise if Donald Trump turned out to be a guy who not only inherited a fortune, but the same racist attitudes, from his father? And that he would now be garnering kudos from white supremacist David Duke, having white nationalists consider naming their lily-white strongholds after him, or holding rallies in 2015 where supporters shout “White power”? If anything, from the latest look of things, Donald Trump’s father would be endlessly proud of his son.
In the meantime, the Trump campaign has not yet responded to media requests from either Boing Boing or Talking Points Memo.
@bobsal u1553115,
pretty desperate to slander Trump. Are progressives really so afraid of Trump they have to stoop to that level?
Crazy.
Didn't a black woman win Apprentice once? Sounds fishy if he is anti-women and racist.
@hawkeye10,
So Hawkeye, what policy positions of Trump do you agree with? Surely there are several, to justify your heartfelt and staunch support.
@snood,
Compiling a list, I'm sure...
@snood,
You made me look. It certainly explains Baldimo's last few weeks of posts

Thanks. Look at what, in particular?
@snood,
Trump's campaign website and its policy.
@ehBeth,
All I saw when I clicked positions was immigration and related immigration issues.
@revelette2,
as Snood commented elsewhere ... egg-zack-ly
@ehBeth,
smile, slow morning for me.
Well, I decided this morning to get out of the house and join a gym. I had a wreck a few years ago and since I haven't done much.. anyway, about time I did. I'll just pretend no one's there...
