That’s Trump’s stopped-clock moment for 2016.

Hillary was with Chris Matthews last night. Bernie did a network news interview. Both of these fine people shared a comprehensive view of many of the issues that are important to the nation.
Let’s make an effort to focus on these two Democratic candidates instead of the freak show that is going on in the make-believe world described in this story.

Ah, “law and order” in Trump’s universe means get rid of Hispanics, suppress the blacks, ignore the women, stop the Muslims.
“VeVill Haff Order!”

It sure took him long enough, and it sure was minimal and copying the other gop losers. We don’t need Law and Order, we need people to follow the laws of the land, and stop violating the Constitution and claiming they’re protecting or saving it from the government. Like the DKos Birder diary says, they are the real welfare queens, using land that belongs to everyone for their own selfish and often destructive needs.
I think he actually means something like the rule of law, but he’s such an inarticulate lummox it’s beyond him to dredge up the accurate term.

Donald Trump: The patron saint of rational, dispassionate conflict resolution.

Trump has to distance himself from them. They are in fact his wacko base, but if it gets out it could be ruinous for him.
I think he vaguely understands it doesn’t work to have people deciding willy-nilly what the law is and who has authority over whom, unless those people are President Trump®. Justice, as a concept, is intellectually and emotionally not a thing he can grasp. He’s essentially an infant, a thing of pure need and desire. Nothing exists outside himself.

Once again, per SOP, a GOTP candidate sticks his finger in the political wind, then announces his opinion about these inept miscreants.

Please don’t use that title together with that name. My concern, and I think it is a very reasonable one, is that an advanced extraterrestrial race that might be monitoring our planet could see this and make a snap decision that we urgently need to be exterminated before we can infect any other planets. Of course if Trump is actually elected (dog forbid) then the extraterrestrial exterminator might be right. But in the meantime, let’s not run any unnecessary risks.
“You have to maintain law and order, no matter what,” Trump told The Hill.
What he actually said was “you have to maintain lawn order, no matter what.” He was just critiquing their landscape maintenance regimen.

Notice he waited like 3 or 4 days to see which way the wind was blowing in the wingnutosphere before taking a bold position of saying “ditto” to what all the other GOPers said. Typical cowardice.

Fair enough. I was thinking more of his fantasies. The prospect of his actually winning is too horrible to contemplate. And we don’t need aliens to destroy us—we forget that sometimes.

Ruh roh. That’s gonna cause some butthurt amongst the pasty teabillies surviving on vending machine snacks in the gift shop. I bet they thought Trump was a patriot!
As did Rubio and JEB. I have to admit I’m a little surprised Cruz was the first one out after just 2(?) days. He’s probably praying away that they are Trump supporters and will be loud about it at some point while they still have a national mic thrust in front of them.
