Discussion:

It’s a legitimate question whether Trump believes the nonsense he spouts. My guess is, not at first, but now he may buy at least some of his own hot air.

Bill Clinton killed 600 men over the course of his presidency with his bare hands and Hillary…don’t get me started on Hillary. She looks into the eyes of the people she strangles and grows actual horns out of her forehead as she feels the life ebb from their broken bodies. Her coming was foretold in the Bible. Wake up, America!

Here is Trump in 2012 on immigration http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Donald-Trump-Ronald-Kessler/2012/11/26/id/465363/

“The Republican Party will continue to lose presidential elections if it comes across as mean-spirited and unwelcoming toward people of color, Donald Trump tells Newsmax.”

So, did he magically change his opinion 2 years later or simply see an opportunity?

First there was ‘moochery’ now ‘usurpery.’

I agree. One of the best ever.

For the full flavor, you need the adjective: “abject moochery.” I’m also fond of “utopiary.”

“Trump Swears He’s Not Running For President As A Democratic Plant (VIDEO)”

But he is running as an idiot.

With regard to the Latino vote, I believe that there is a cellar below which their voting Repubican would not sink.

There are a number of reasons for this…the mentality of Ted Cruz betrays several of them.

Moreover, the increase in Latino voter registration has to be placed in the context of differentiating between people who register and people who actually show up at the polls.

Further, the charging up of the Repubican Base on the immigration issue is being studied by the other Republican candidates, even as they diffidently demur that “Trumps utterances are ill-advised”. Maybe the uptick in Base arousal is worth all the trouble.

If Trump IS a plant, all of these considerations (and quite a few more) are going to have to be taken into account, especially since all Republicans should be able to (with the help of the MSM) successfully pivot to the center and snag some sleepy Independents.

After the bullshit that has been spewed how could any of the GOP pivot? The only direction available is further rightward. Terrirtory I cannot conceive of but they surely can.

I’ve been waiting for this one. It was bound to come up, in a party so confused about every damn thing.

My favorite is something like ‘socialistic utopiarism’ … I forget the exact variation of utopia.

Edit: Eustace clarified … it is socialistic utopitarianism. Love it!

Maybe not with Chet Huntley or Walter Cronkite or Lawrence Spivak. But with nitwits like Chuck Todd, and other present-day verbal contortionists who are even worse, anything is possible.

Well…Todd is good at the French Horn.

I agree with that, but Jesus, when he’s in full blowhard mode I go the other way and can’t believe a human being could actually be that pathologically ignorant, self-impressed and caricature-like. He can’t be a fake and he can’t be real, in other words. He’s the Möbius Man.

I would be afraid of what would come out of that if it broke open.
