Another 1 percenter who would rather let people in poverty suffer and die. Why am I not surprised.

I agreeā€¦they should shut down the government until at least Januaryā€¦then maybe people will get furious enough to never vote Republican again!

Donald just wants to snap the country up cheap and rename it Trumpmerica.

Yup, so close to the 2016 election that the stench will still be fresh.

The GOP must think we are In France where they shut down the government regularly. Isnā€™t this getting a little old? All the name calling and hysterical rhetoric is getting old, too.

Heā€™d call it ā€œchapteringā€, like he does with his companies when the profits arenā€™t good enough.

Whenever, I read about Trumpā€™s ascent in the GOP, Iā€™m reminded of this gem of a story published in the Anchorage Daily News on April 3, 1993. It really is the perfect parable for whatā€™s going on with regards to the desperation of the 2016 Republican Primary:

Sarah Palin, a commercial fisherman from Wasilla, told her husband on Tuesday she was driving to Anchorage to shop at Costco. Instead, she headed straight for Ivana. And there, at J.C. Penneyā€™s cosmetic department, was Ivana, the former Mrs. Donald Trump, sitting at a table next to a photograph of herself. She wore a light-colored pantsuit and pink fingernail polish. Her blonde hair was coiffed in a bouffant French twist.

ā€˜ā€˜We want to see Ivana,ā€™ā€™ said Palin, who admittedly smells like salmon for a large part of the summer, ā€˜ā€˜because we are so desperate in Alaska for any semblance of glamour and culture.ā€™ā€™

Utterly awesome. Further tightens the vise on GOP leadership: rabid base one jaw, reality the other. Trumpā€™s got no skin in the game, so he can afford to put the screws to McConnell, Boehner, et al. Awesome.

Youā€™d think somewhere along the line in Trumpā€™s elite upbringing heā€™d have been instructed a gentleman removes his hat when indoors and/or in the presence of a lady. Heā€™s a crude, vulgar man. Then again, I guess that particular ignorance of proper etiquette is shared by about 100 million other vulgar American men, isnā€™t it?

Is anyone suprised that the ā€œliberalā€ media has done nothing to discredit the edited videos done by extremists?

Weā€™re going to see a content-free campaign ending with The TrumpMeister riding off into the sunset on a golf cart saying, thanks suckers.

Yes, and this time thereā€™ll be no ā€œdisastrous website rolloutā€ to hide behind.

I just donā€™t understand why the GOP thinks now is a good time to take on this fight. Itā€™s the kind of thing that will almost assuredly lead to discussions of rape and some GOPer candidate saying something hideous about rape victims and/or the joy of rape babies.

There is insufficient time or space to cite the voluminous explorations by various news outlets, bloggers, etc detailing the false narrative the videos portray. Contrary to your contention it has not gone unremarked upon by a great many sources.

ā€œRepublican presidential candidate Donald Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Monday that Republicans in Congress should shut down the government in an effort to defund Planned Parenthood.ā€

Because it worked so well the last timeā€¦

Here is the solutionā€¦make abortions legal for everyone except Republicans. And make sure no medicine created from research on fetal tissue goes to republicans either. Their conscience will rest easy and the rest of us will outlive them.
