45962. robertjayb - 8/20/2015 10:23:28 PM Walker goes better with Koch. 45963. judithathome - 8/21/2015 7:37:10 PM This is just TOO good not to share...someone posted this on my forum. Proof that the rest of the world is taking notice of the USA and their candidates: Trump "Impresses" New Zealand! 45964. Ms. No - 8/21/2015 10:51:38 PM The columnist is right on, but I don't know whether to be alarmed or relieved that the comments of many Kiwis are quite nearly as rabid and ignorant as those of Yanks.
...or maybe it's just that there's a higher ratio of foaming-at-the-mouth among web comments in general.
Trump isn't just "plain-spoken." He is aggressively, relentlessly abusive in both the content and the manner of his speech. Contrary to what a couple of those comments stated, he isn't just saying what everyone else is thinking. The vast majority of people don't think that way, for which I am daily thankful. 45965. judithathome - 8/22/2015 10:05:54 PM The vast majority of people don't think that way, for which I am daily thankful
Clearly, you are no longer living in the South!
I know you DID at one time but face it...the South is not California...I hear local people every single DAY praise this asshole Trump for "telling it like it is!"
Do you think ANYONE in Texas is supporting Rick Perry today? Or Hilary? Or Jeb Bush??? Hell, no...they're going rabid over TRUMP! 45966. iiibbb - 8/23/2015 2:43:01 PM All a candidate has to do is point out how many times trump has been bankrupt (the answer is 4). If he hates McCain for not being a winner... why hasn't he dropped out?
He's a corporate welfare case who has benefited from a country that doesn't punish corporate losers.
And you don't get second chances with countries. 45967. judithathome - 8/23/2015 6:13:25 PM His bankruptcies HAVE come up...in fact, they came up in the debate and he parlayed that into an asset...he made it sound like HE used the banks and came out on top.
Contrary to your thoughts on this, it only served to make him stronger...his numbers went UP after that.
He's like a troll on the internet...the more things come to light about them through their own actions, the stronger they get until one day, that troll is someone we support because somewhere, in all that "trollery", they've started to make a little sense...or what passes for sense on the internet.
Trump is a troll...sucking the energy out of the Republican party. And for that, I'm grateful to him! (See? The laws of trollery work!!);-) 45968. Ms. No - 8/24/2015 7:44:19 AM Ha! I hope they keep working right through the election! 45969. judithathome - 8/25/2015 9:24:04 PM Jeez...Jebbie...don't try to erase your "anchor baby" insult to Hispanics but saying "It's more of an Asian problem..."
Who the hell is advising you? Your brother(s)???? 45970. judithathome - 8/25/2015 9:24:27 PM but=BY 45971. judithathome - 8/29/2015 12:20:48 AM Everyone is saying Hillary needs to get tougher and so today she did...and now they are bitching because she got TOO tough....whaddya want? 45972. iiibbb - 8/29/2015 3:05:12 PM I want her to stop listening to what people say she should do. 45973. arkymalarky - 8/29/2015 3:41:49 PM And everyone should stop listening to Bill. 45974. judithathome - 8/31/2015 8:36:29 PM Fact Check for Scott Walker
In the 2013 Fiscal Year:
376 Canadians who had a criminal record when they were deported from coming into the country, assuming some of those Canadians crossed the border illegally. (For comparison, 146,298 Mexicans with a criminal record were deported.)
793 Canadians were found to have broken immigration laws (including those above with a criminal record) and deported. By comparison, 314,904 Mexicans were deported.
822 Canadians were arrested for all offenses, compared to 424,978 Mexicans. Or a ratio of 1:517.
Building the Canadian border wall over twice the length of a Mexican one would cost somewhere between $20 to $33 Billion!
And they could still take a plane flight over it rather easily! 45975. judithathome - 9/3/2015 7:58:14 PM And now for something completely different: an excellent editorial by Kareem Abdul Jabbar about Trump...make sure you read the link he provides to Trumps rather junior high schoolish retort! This Is The Difference... 45976. winstonsmith - 9/4/2015 11:16:17 PM It feels perverse that I love seeing Trump bully and belittle Jeb when I know that, of the Republican candidates, Jeb would probably make the best president. Jeb may recover and gain the nomination but I really believe the guy has been damaged by Trump. 45977. arkymalarky - 9/5/2015 2:34:04 AM Winston!
I think Jeb is ditw: dead in the water 45978. winstonsmith - 9/5/2015 7:11:28 AM Hi Arky,! yes, ditw. At the moment anyway.
Here's a question, would it be crazy for Hillary to run with Berie as her veep? I don't think he can deliver a state or anything but he has been careful to not attack her and some people would come out to vote for him. 45979. arkymalarky - 9/5/2015 10:15:30 AM I love the Bern, but I don't think he'd help the ticket in the general. 45980. arkymalarky - 9/5/2015 10:17:32 AM I love the Bern, but I don't think he'd help the ticket in the general. 45981. judithathome - 9/5/2015 6:10:07 PM I doubt he would accept it, anyhow...he can do more good in the Senate, seems to me, that shoved away in the corner of the Veeps office.
Besides, I think it would be a slap in the face to her own party...he is, after all, an Independent.
