Liberal sites...with all their hopey facty stuff..... https://www.dailykos.com/story/2012...y-is-best-for-the-economy-it-s-not-even-close
I think it's great, man, the best entertainment yet and we have still got almost a year to run. It's about time there was a titanic shake up in the American political system. I have read and heard people speak that Trump is a Clinton nuclear weapon planted in the middle of the Republican party. I don't believe that but it is a crazy puzzle because Trump is in the process of exploding the Republicans into ashes.
And at the same time Sarah is whooping it up for Trump her kid is busted for assault and extreme drunkenness due to, according to Sarah, PTSD caused by Obama. It's more than I could hope for. What a story. Unfortunately, PTSD is a serious issue and we all know what might have helped Trap, or Trick or whatever his name is, out of that alcoholic pit he has dropped into.
i'm not sure what the republican party is going to look like after the 2016 election
but it is going to be different
i mean are there any conservatives out there that think what's happening is good?
i do understand the anger, i guess a circus makes some people feel better, for a while anyways

Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders hold solid leads in Iowa, CNN/ORC poll finds
Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders hold solid leads in Iowa, CNN/ORC poll finds
Washington (CNN)Donald Trump holds a commanding lead in Iowa as Sen. Bernie Sanders takes control of the Democratic race in the critical first-in-the-nation voting state, according to a new CNN/ORC poll released Thursday.
Trump leads Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who is in second place in the GOP race, among likely Republican caucus-goers, 37% to 26%. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, is in third at 14%, the only other Republican in double digits. Ben Carson failed to register half of Rubio's support and is in fourth place at 6%.
Sanders, meanwhile, has opened up an eight-point lead over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, leading her in Iowa 51% to 43% among likely Democratic presidential caucus-goers.
The sampling is key for both leaders: Only including voters who previously caucused in their party's most recent competitive caucus, Cruz is neck-and-neck with Trump, with 30% for Cruz to 28% for Trump. Rubio is steady at 16% in that sample.
Of Democrats who caucused in 2008, Clinton leads Sanders, 55% to 38%.
In December, Clinton led Sanders in the Hawkeye State by 18 points in CNN/ORC's polling, 54% to 36%.
Sanders' lead is in part built on his economic policies. Democratic caucus-goers said they trust the Vermont senator over Clinton on the economy by 22 points, and 67% said they thought he would do more to help the middle class, as opposed to 30% who felt that way about Clinton.

Wow.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had emails on her private server that contained information so top-secret that the very lawmakers who oversee the State Department can’t read them without meeting “additional security requirements,” according to a report by Fox News’ Catherine Herridge.
According to the report, Clinton’s emails contained intelligence classified “at a level beyond top secret,” therefore, some of the lawmakers in both parties on the committees examining Clinton’s emails do not have the necessary security clearances to actually read them.
************************************************
Shit like this used to be guaranteed prison time. Bet it gets swept under the carpet.
Rightwing media manipulators have been radicalizing the Repub base for decades while the Party was stringing them along about what they think is important. At this point, Repubs are under huge pressures to deliver on promises they made, promises that nobody can keep, not even using extortion & hostage taking.
Anger? They're mad at the wrong people. Who do they have to be angry at other than themselves? They've been getting chumped for decades in the name of some great cause or another, some ideal they're induced to pursue with religious fervor. They're so convinced they're right that they assault the foundations of Democracy, believing their moral authority to somehow be greater.
They're like a jealous lover who'll kill the object of their affection because they can't have it.
Trump? He's just telling them what they've wanted to hear for a long time-

It's amazing what can be accomplished with selective leaking of information. People seem to have a hard time catching on to it & seeing it for what it is.
What really happened? The NYT published an article about the drone program with leaked material. That was forwarded to Hillary's inbox. Discussion ensued about the article. That's the "above top secret" information we're talking about, information that had already escaped into the wild. But it's still classified above top secret because the security pinheads say it is & always has been, as if the drone program is something people don't know about.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/20/u...to-include-material-exceeding-top-secret.html
I hope you can see how that works. The spin on the Fox piece you reference is standard for this kind of distortion. They only tell you what they want you to know, not the whole story.
It's been the same ploy from Whitewater through fast & furious, Ben-fucking-ghazi, the IRS & now this. When you get to the bottom of it there's nothing there, never was.
I love how republican ads have shit blowing up, and people going over giant walls like World War Z. We prefer something else....... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2nwRiuh1Cug

Although Trump and Palin are terrible, I would think heads and shoulders above Clinton or Bernie.
Cruz will win it all.
Cruz will win it all.
Trump has Narcissistic Personality disorder. If given the reins of power, he will transform into a monster. You can see the process already taking place.
Well, there's 6 top Generals that said they would resign if Trump becomes president. The entire Islamic world will certainly start preparing for it. If a major American political party elects someone like this as their nominee, the eyes of the world will be upon us.
It'd be close, I think. They're both courting the ragers & ravers who are so mad they don't know what they're mad about. Just say something to let 'em vent & you've got 'em in the palm of your hand.
