Didn’t he promise last week to provide some information about his childhood stories? I could swear I remember hearing that in the big press avail/rant he had last Friday. Is the Friday “I’ll have more on that this weekend” thing becoming a pattern?

He most certainly did. Last Friday on Chuck Todds show his spokescreep said they would have a big announcement over the weekend.They didnt.

“They supply a lot of military equipment and they supply radar equipment and sophisticated monitoring systems. And I don’t think, quite frankly, that you can just send that stuff there and not have a support system for it,”

So I guess that means the US was also in Afghanistan while the Soviet Union was fighting its war there… because there is no way to supply weapons and equipment without actually being there…

I think the moron is referring to shit made in China, like iPhones, that anyone can buy in Target. By that rationale, the Chinese have supplied me with the computer with which I am calling out that moron. What a moron!

Stark, raving mad, but with a dangerously oversized ego that will brook not one iota of critique or pushback. Classic paranoid psychotic personality.

They are going to want to pivot to Trump’s speech last night. That’s safe ground for them.

And it is a pattern…brush off nutty thing by saying even nuttier thing, and keep it up until some other candidate says nutty thing.

He is dangerously close to going down a rat hole on this one, though. Putting aside the nuttiness of this assertion, we are seeing the exact same pattern concerning “events from 20-30 years ago” being played out real time. He asserts something, gets challenged on it, backs off and blames the media for parsing his words incorrectly. Nobody can continue to go to that well on every issue. At the very least, its says the man can’t be trusted because of his inexact use of language. At the worst, he can’t be trusted because he is an out and out liar. Neither answer is electable.

“When you look at the field of people — I don’t know of anybody who has a
great deal of foreign policy experience who’s running for president
right now,” he responded.

WRONG. WRONG.

The person running who knows extensively about foreign policy is former SoS H. Clinton, a Democrat. Soon to be President Clinton.

Please make a note of it.

California companies supplied lots of parts for the Mars Rover. I bet there are Californians on Mars.

“But I do know from my experience as a neurosurgeon who’s done some very, very complex operations, some of which had never been done before, that I don’t know everything.”

Can you say “humblebrag”? I knew you could.

And what’s funny is that his example isn’t of a time when he realized he didn’t know everything, but of a time when he did something difficult that nobody else had done. And had he been a humble person, he’d have given an example of how he needed someone else’s help. But that’s part of his problem, that he doesn’t even know what humble means. Because for him, being humble is a trait he brags about; thus proving that it doesn’t apply.

It kind of makes me wonder: does he know that Hillary was the Secretary of State and/or does he know what the Secretary of State does?

‘Contrariwise,’ continued Tweedledee, ‘if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn’t, it ain’t. That’s logic.’

ISIS grabbed up a bunch of U.S. gear the Iraqis left behind as they ran away. So obviously the U.S. is fighting alongside ISIS.

And my own lack of experience means I can be President too. I’ve done some tricky stuff in my own line, OK? And if I need a plumber I know to hire a plumber. Hope I get to be President soon 'cause I really need money. Wolf at the door, man, it’s bad.
