RichVR:

He keeps saying the same thing, which I have to think is some kind of corporate speak. It usually goes like this:

I may have heard {thing} but I’m not sure about it. But. If {thing} is true, then he {person} might have a problem.

Of course that {thing} has nothing to do with me.

But, if {thing} is true, then he or she is fucked.

Because they DID {thing that I was vague about}

And they should be called out about it.

But nevermind that. Clinton had his dick sucked.

Whenever i hear this, i immediately think of: “Did Glenn Beck Rape And Murder A Young Girl In 1990”

Frankly, I find the fact that Glenn Beck hasn’t yet definitively stated that he did not, in fact, rape and murder a young girl in 1990 really, really alarming. What are we supposed to think??

People are definitely saying that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.

I think Glen Beck is a great guy and I’d hate to see this get in his way, but a lot of people are talking about it, the idea that he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990.

I don’t know if Donald Trump has had incestuous relations with his daughter, but a lot of people are talking about it, the idea that he has had sex with his own daughter. If he did, that could spend real trouble for his campaign. And he should be held accountable for his despicable and immoral actions.

I sorta figure that a goodly chunk of his supporters are those guys who gussy up their daughters to take them to father-daughter “virginity balls,” anyway, so I’m not sure this ah, “news” would sway them much ;)

I’ve worked with lots of Trumps. They like me, they love me. They’re good people. Great people. We need to get them to work with us and stop taking away our jobs, spreading drugs and rapists.

Courteous D:

Is there a point at which the people he does business with will conclude they don’t need to take him seriously, either?

Trump the developer is somebody people do business with because he will make them money. Developers are in a unique position that way. Now I am not sure what other interests he has but he has already run into problems with his clothing lines with stores refusing to carry them.

I just realized that Trump is basically Mallory Archer.

Timex · 2016-01-07T09:55:54.000Z

Mallory Archer seems infinitely more competent and intelligent than Trump.

And she has more…ahem…contacts in the KGB!

John McCain thinks Trump might be on to something with Cruz’s birth issue.

cbsnews.com

John McCain: Ted Cruz's citizenship is "worth looking into"

Former GOP presidential nominee was born in Panama and faced similar questions during the 2008 race

“I know that came up in my race because I was born in Panama, but I was born in the Canal Zone which is a territory. Barry Goldwater was born in Arizona when it was territory when he ran in 1964,” McCain said.

McCain added that he was born on a U.S. military base, which he said is not the same as being born in Canada.

“That’s different from being born on foreign soil. I think there is a question. I’m not a constitutional scholar on that, but I think it’s worth looking into. I don’t think it’s illegitimate to look into it.”

Asked if the Supreme Court might have to weigh in on the “natural born citizen” issue, McCain said, “It may be, that may be the case.”

People are talking about this!

Holy $#!tsnacks, you’re right.

So, Cruz is some sorta mexi-canadian? Are them folks even christian!?!?

inactive_user · 2016-01-07T10:03:50.000Z

I personally welcome Cruz as the GOP candidate. The anti-charisma in his frog-faced meatsuit does so little to contain the lizard within that even Hillary’s human-like mannerisms look positively empathetic.

That shows just how badly Cruz has pissed off his fellow R’s in the Senate.

Are military bases considered US soil? I don’t believe so. When I grew in the Netherlands, their was always a question about jurisdiction when it came to crime on the local US military base.

Nevermind, this answered my question. It’s not.

Answers.com

Is a US military base abroad considered American soil

No. The only places in other countries that are considered "American soil" are embassies and consulates.

All you RINOs hide your faces… All you liberals in the House.
All you elected to high places… Tea party’s going to call on you.

Sam Wang details why he thinks Trump’s GOP nomination is looking like a lock.

http://election.princeton.edu/2016/01/05/what-december-polls-can-tell-us-about-the-gop-nomination/#more-13187

The New Year is not a bad time for a fresh start. So please let me acknowledge that back in July, I was too pessimistic about Donald Trump’s chances. Like Harry Enten, I was led astray by his high unfavorables. Six months into the Season of Trump, I think it is time to examine his chances with a more neutral stance.

Two Nates (Silver and Cohn) have come out with essays arguing that we still can’t extract much predictive value from opinion polls. For the detailed kind of analysis they like, this may be true. However, a slightly different approach has suggestive implications about who is likely to be the eventual Republican nominee. (Spoiler: rhymes with Grump.)

I know my Republican Congressman has a real dislike for Cruz. And from hearing him talk on local radio I think a lot of republicans in Congress dislike Cruz.
