Trump: When will you learn to shut your goddamn mouth?
You have identified the problems: CHECK
You have at least SOME clue about solutions: CHECK
You might be a charlatan: CHECK
You herald extreme damage to the political class: CHECK
High visibility supporters (along with me are), throwing up their hands like Newt, Coulter..who said you are ‘mental’
Domestic policy grade: 85%
Foreign policy grade: 65% (Putin is not some goddamn biz competitor. Don’t make LBJ’s mistake)

Cruz: You can’t do anything about your voice
Flat Tax/No IRS: CHECK, CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK
McConnell a liar: CHECK CHECK CHECK
You herald extreme damage to the political class: CHECK
You can’t get out of the gutter and respond to every stupid bait:UNCHECK
Domestic policy grade: 90%
Foreign policy grade : 75%
BUT…
UGH
It’s just antisemitism dressed up in New Testament clothing, and now I can’t vote for you. PERIOD
Domestic Policy deduct 105%

Kasich: Full believer in TPP. Now I can’t vote for you. PERIOD. No need to look further

Shrieking Harridan: You lie so much, and do it as a cost of doing business, I truly beleive you don;t even know when you are lying, dissembling, effecting a charade, or telling the truth in a way harmless to you.
Corrupt without even being able to identify corruption: CHECK

Bernie: How can you be so accurate in identifying the main issue and so ridiculous about the solutions?
Sees TBTF, rigged economy and therefore political system: CHECK
Recognizes Free Trade as much as Trump and Cruz as killing USA:CHECK
Foreign Policy advisers from J Street: No CHECK, but a big WTF?
M-W:
Full Definition of socialism
1:  any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2a :  a system of society or group living in which there is no private property
b :  a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3:  a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
Bernie, this nation gave $370bn PRIVATELY last year and that is not socialism.

Foreign Policy Grade: 30% (climate change and terrorism, really?)
Domestic Policy Grade: 20% (break up TBTF, but SOCIALISM..the ULTIMATE TBTF>>>>US GOVT)

You know what? I think maybe we should start over

Sheesh.

I feel as if I'm living in some bizarre alternate universe -- or living in a weird tabloid world.

Consider this...% of current candidates raised in the US public school system during the "Dumbing Down America" era. Could it be recognized as a warning of what lies ahead with subsequent generations which have been dumbed down even further?

I can't think of anyone else on the American political scene I would want.

Here's what I want:

1) America first

2) stop illegal immigration, H1B Visa abuse, Student Visas (except in some very few exceptions), any immigration from Islamic countries (except for some Christians or Yazidis taken for asylum purposes)

3) No TPP

4) No more "tansgender" men in girl's bathrooms

5) No more moral equivalency in Foreign Policy

Pastorius said...

There are no candidates who fit those criteria.

Donald Trump is BY FAR the closest to those criteria.

i agree


UNFORTUNATELY

Additionally, the other day I heard Trump interviewed on Hannity (I have not been able to find the transcript) and he introduced what I believe to have been a new tenant of his campaign:

End corruption in the government (Fraud, Waste, and Abuse was how he put it)

he said for instance,

The Military can't get what they say they NEED, but there are all sorts of thing they have to buy, things they don't WANT.

He said this is because of corruption, and it is crippling America's ability to defend itself, and our lack of leadership on the international scene is in part a result of it and therefore, the whole world is hampered by this fraud, waste, and abuse.

That is a very big idea.

If he means it, then expect assassination attempts on him in the next 4-6 months.

If he means it, he can invite Transgendered men into girl's bathrooms all he wants, and I will still vote for him.

I have come to believe our government is a Potemkin village set up with ticket counters at the facade, where vendors come and hand piles of cash to the "congressmen, Presidents, Judges, diplomats, and bureaucrats so they can get contracts that will benefit them.

There is no actual business being done that benefits the American people, except those who do not want to work or pay for the kids they keep lofting out into the prison system.

I am sick of watching this.

What's more, I have become convinced that NO ONE in our government actually believes in Global Warming, or Transgener bullshit, they just use causes like that to hide black budgets, which they use to hide the funds they are siphoning off to themselves.

If we have a candidate who is talking about ending that, he could save America.

I agree. In spite of everything, he is the only one I could vote for. But ... can he survive the attacks from every corner of society and business interests? Instead of taking the high road, he is choosing to get into the mud and fight his attackers. There must be some other way to do it, but he does not see it.

For Cruz I would add:

"Stop blaming Trump for everything including the fall of Rome. You come across as petty, pathetic and frankly, desperate. No one's looking for Obama 2.0, stop acting like him you opportunist prick."

I am concerned tha Trump will not stay alive over the course of the next few months. So many are gunning for him.
