I have a suspicion that the eventual winner of the Republican nomination for POTUS is going to be who can tell the biggest lie with the straightest face. The winner this week is Fiorina. The quivering voice, the steely eyed hatred of the makers of that (fabricated and probably non-existent) video that she saw with her “own eyes.” Trump is idiotic and a complete fucking asshole, but at least he doesn’t rise to the level of evil of the likes of Huckabee, Carson and Fiorina.

O’Donnell interviewed a woman the other night who is Trump’s Iowa campaign manager (with a background in The Apprentice) named Tana Goertz and she did the same thing as Blackburn, Talked and talked and talked without saying anything and all the while evading the questions. They are carefully taught to obfuscate, ramble and fill up the time allotted for the interview while leaving the listener no wiser as to the subject at hand. …

This stotry has been covered ad infinitem IMHO.
Trump has begun his long, slow slide. He has successfully reignited the full bore crazy in the GOP. He will start to fade, leaving behind a rabid base continuing to pull the party over the right wing cliff. Trumps work here is done.

But they haven’t yet learned how to hide the crazy. That woman creeped me out.

I had genuine respect for Colin Powell until he agreed to stand in front of the UN and deliver Dick Cheney’s lies.
Can not forgive him for that!

It’s extremely sad what passes for “journalism.”
They’re pounding on Trump for not pushing back
against “Obama’s a Muslim,” while totally ignoring
Trump’s failure to reject the questioner’s call for
ethnic cleansing: “When do we get rid of them?”

Obama’s not up for election. Why are we still questioning this sworn Christian’s religious beliefs?

Absolutely. He should have resigned, like Nixon’s AG and Deputy AG in the Saturday Night Massacre.
I also can’t forgive Bush and Cheney for putting Powell in that position, but they have so much more to answer for that what they did to Powell barely merits a mention.

I agree with you. Granted, Cheney and Bush would have implemented the policy anyway, but resignation would at least would have greatly helped Powell in the long run.

He’s gotten this far not answering a real question, why not keep it up…

Pretty simple. Obama is still the primary boogeyman. The right has invested a lot into planting a monstrous image of him in the minds of GOP, and they are still battling him on a lot of matters. TAt some point there will be a very obvious switch to Hilary as the primary, with Obama moved to the background

“Well, you know, I don’t get into it, George. I think about jobs,” Trump replied. “I’m talking about the military. I don’t get into it. I mean they ask that question and I just want to talk about the things, because frankly, it’s of no longer interest to me. We’re beyond that. And it’s just something I don’t talk about.”
Answers like that could have come from the mouths of any candidate in the race, and are dissolving his image as the anti politician and heroically bold voice of the right.
Even worse for Trump, they are uninteresting to the TV audience.

Will Hillary become a Muslim then? 
Creeping Sharia fear has infected the ‘minds’ of the GOP.
This is exactly the same thing that Fiorina did in the debate, making herself sound smart to ignorant people during the foreign policy section while Trump stood mostly silent. She threw out a bunch of very specific things about defense: rebuild the Sixth Fleet, rebuild the missile defense program in Poland, conduct military exercises in the Baltics. It was all bullshit - a mishmash of nonsense, things that are already being done, or things that would be counterproductive - but it has the sound of someone who knows what they’re talking about, and especially in the primary, more people see the debates than the debunking and scoffing in the media afterward.
Fortunately, that doesn’t work so well in a one-on-one debate, especially against an opponent like Clinton who actually does know what they’re talking about.

Trump: “I don’t talk about what I don’t talk about.”
He’s no more evasive and self -promoting as the other GOP loons running.
