Hillary Clinton Praised Former KKK Member Sen. Robert Byrd
Despite mounting criticism for Donald Trump’s failure to disavow former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard David Duke’s support, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton once heaped praise for late Klan leader Sen. Robert Byrd. In a video uploaded to the State Department’s official YouTube page on June 28, 2010, Clinton commemorated late Sen. Byrd.

Sen. Robert Byrd not only was a KKK member but led his local Klan chapter. Byrd joined the Klan at the ripe young age of 24 — hardly a young’un by today’s standards, much less those of 1944, when Byrd refused to join the military because he might have to serve alongside “race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds,” according to a letter Byrd wrote to Sen. Theodore Bilbo at the height of World War II.

So, Romney decided to shoot his mouth off.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/m ... ech-220167

And they are trying to get Ryan to get in the ring.

http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/pre ... -house-run

Yeah, Romney, let's review.

Image

Couldn't even carry your own state, never met a policy position you wouldn't change and signed into law a health care mandate that is basically Obamacare.

Image

Now kindly STFU and go starch your magic underwear.

Ryan? You want to step up, please do.

Image

Yeah. You go ahead and jump in the mosh pit with that pissed of primary crowd and see how you do as a usurper. They will rip you apart and gnaw on your bones and you know it. Talk s*** from the sidelines, son and stay safe. Keep that cushy job and collect those checks; you know the right move, don't you, you scumbag.

No, the only one that can stop Trump is Trump. Now, he is a barely controlled burn and he could still screw this up for himself, but so far, the crazier he gets, the more traction he gets. The GOP is so detached from reality that they can't understand that all the BS they are trying is only galvanizing Trump supporters. They are the Obama supporters of the "right" (notice the quotes.) They want what they want and trying to talk them out of the dryer before they hit spin is not going to work.

Now, Carson seems to have finally gotten the message.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/02/politics/ ... to-debate/

That's good. The weird s*** he has said on the campaign trail suggests he needs some time to Google common knowledge. Quiz: What were these things used for, again?

So, Cruz and Rubio are going to continue to fight for second place, splitting the votes. Fine, I think I know what you are up to, GOP. Make sure that Trump can't get enough votes to lock it up so you can try to contest the convention. Go ahead. You can pull that off, you really can. Please, &^%$ING PLEASE DO THAT. Yo will finally rip the party apart.

If you believe the conspiracy theorists, that's the reason for Trump's entry into the race. Trump, a former democrat, and close friend of the Clinton's, was tasked with running a divisive campaign that would splinter the Republican party, thus ensuring that it not only eliminated them as rivals for the presidency, but could roll back their gains at state level as well.

No, I think Trump thinks it would be neat to president and this is all about him. I don't think the Democrats are subverting the Republicans. The Republicans are just that obtuse. The Deomcrats have a bit of a thorn in their side with Sanders. Why is Elizabeth Warren staying silent? This is definitely an, "interesting" election cycle.

Why is Warren staying silent? She's smart. Why lower herself even more and get involved in the Jerry Springer show-like mudslinging fest this primary season has sadly devolved itself into. Though I admit, I had to laugh (and cringe) when the Length of Donald Trump's schiong was brought up during last night's debate, instead of the budget deficit. It's almost as if Howard Stern moderated..

Mm,hmm, Yeah, GOP, you better get behind Trump or you are going to have a full-scale revolt.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/ ... lsignoutlc
From Michigan to Louisiana to California on Friday, rank-and-file Republicans expressed mystification, dismissal and contempt for the instructions that their party’s most high-profile leaders are urgently handing down to them: reject and defeat Donald J. Trump.

Their angry reactions, in the 24 hours since Mitt Romney and John McCain urged millions of voters to cooperate in a grand strategy to undermine Mr. Trump’s candidacy, has captured the seemingly inexorable force of a movement that still puzzles the Republican elite and now threatens to unravel the party they hold dear.
You have stepped on your party members for a long time. It's time to pay the piper, bishez. :chuckle:

An interesting piece on "civil discourse."

In the 18th century, John Adams called Alexander Hamilton a "bastard brat" and wrote that Hamilton had "a superabundance of secretions which he could not find whores enough to draw off," according to historian Ron Chernow.

I honestly don't belive it would be that much, but it could go both ways. if trump was to be president and started to use the resources like it being told he would have to do to get every one out, and by this I mean officers basically detaining everyone one.
I think a lot would just leave on their own just for the simple fact that there's potential to loose everything they have worked for. Think about it, sell most and leave or take a change and get detained and get deported with the close on your back..
At least that would be the case for people from the south but u can't say the same thing about asians, Europeans and others from across the world..wich then again it would cost more for them then a neighboring country.

"Here's the bad news -- this guy can win the general election pretty damn easily," Carson, who is now a producer on the Netflix series "House of Cards" and a Principal at Bloomberg Associates, wrote on his private account. "I hear far too many of my liberal friends calling him a 'joke' and acting like the general (election) is in the bag which is nuts because he's dangerous and he has a path to victory."

Anyone who has been in politics as long as Hillary has learned a lot.
The current republican presumptive racist nominee knows nothing along with others.

"Paul Ryan Calls Donald Trump’s Attack on Judge ‘Racist,’ but Still Backs Him"

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/08/us/po ... pe=article

"Asked which of Mr. Trump’s policy statements he preferred over Mrs. Clinton’s, Senator Dan Coats, Republican of Indiana, paused for 11 seconds before saying, “I don’t know that I want to deal with that.”

Ms. Ayotte said Mr. Trump’s comments “were wrong and offensive,” adding, “He should retract those comments.”

Among others in a perilous trap are Senators Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, whose new book boasts of his commitment to civil rights; Tim Scott, the Senate’s only African-American Republican; and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, sons of Cuban immigrants. Their choice now appears one between their biographies and their principles.
Graphic: Clinton and Trump Have Terrible Approval Ratings. Does It Matter?

Beyond Washington, other Republicans were also not satisfied with Mr. Trump’s response. “Donald Trump should retract his comments, not defend them. There is no place for racism in the G.O.P., or this country,” former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida said on Twitter.

For the moment, Republicans are more focused on limiting the damage they incur as a result of Mr. Trump’s candidacy than they are getting him elected.

Mr. Scott, who has called Mr. Trump’s comments “racially toxic,” portrayed his own party’s nominee as a temporary affliction on conservatism.

“For the next several months, he will have the loudest voice, but the fact of the matter is there will be other voices speaking as well,” he said, not even suggesting Mr. Trump could have the party’s loudest voice for four years.

On Tuesday, Mr. McConnell deflected numerous questions about Mr. Trump before saying, “ It’s time to quit attacking various people that you competed with or various minority groups in the country and get on message.”

Even Republicans who shied from talk of abandoning the nominee shifted their tone. Moving from alarmed to angry, the party’s leaders sent Mr. Trump an unmistakable message: He is hurting the party and must stop.

Senator Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican who has also embraced Mr. Trump, acknowledged that the party may have to disavow Mr. Trump, employing the well-worn maxim from former Justice Potter Stewart about how one can detect pornography."

“This is one of those things you’ll know it when you see it,” said Mr. Burr, adding, hopefully, that he did not think the party “will get there.”

Today, Clinton, Warren, and now Biden have attacked him on these statements.

Trump cant hold his tongue. He's just not the brightest crayon honestly but who is.
Bernie wants to turn us into say close to France or Canada is what I gathered. Got it more section 8 housing and stamps cause that works.


I might like the idea of some short spoken action based on what most trump says in his well thought out words.....
Like instead of talking about doing something for 3 years we just do it and done. So well nope it done so.
I looked into some of his business practices and it union friendly partially. Obviously knows how to grow something.


You cant just plant trees and make everyone a guy and a girl peein in the same potty and expect rainbows. I mean does a bear $hit in the woods or not anymore.

Worst case trump starts riot in the streets situations and it turns into a civil war of some sort. Although it be like america vs people that aren't here legally anyways.....

Ill be sitting back watching working on cars I could care less. I do vote just on who matches the most of my concerns. This might get pretty good tho ill have popcorn!

Crooked Trump

How Donald Trump Bankrupted His Atlantic City Casinos, but Still Earned Millions

By RUSS BUETTNER and CHARLES V. BAGLIJUNE 11, 2016

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/12/nyreg ... v=top-news

"On the presidential campaign trail, Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, often boasts of his success in Atlantic City, of how he outwitted the Wall Street firms that financed his casinos and rode the value of his name to riches. A central argument of his candidacy is that he would bring the same business prowess to the Oval Office, doing for America what he did for his companies.

“Atlantic City fueled a lot of growth for me,” Mr. Trump said in an interview in May, summing up his 25-year history here. “The money I took out of there was incredible.”

His audacious personality and opulent properties brought attention — and countless players — to Atlantic City as it sought to overtake Las Vegas as the country’s gamb|ing capital. But a close examination of regulatory reviews, court records and security filings by The New York Times leaves little doubt that Mr. Trump’s casino business was a protracted failure. Though he now says his casinos were overtaken by the same tidal wave that eventually slammed this seaside city’s gamb|ing industry, in reality he was failing in Atlantic City long before Atlantic City itself was failing.

But even as his companies did poorly, Mr. Trump did well. He put up little of his own money, shifted personal debts to the casinos and collected millions of dollars in salary, bonuses and other payments. The burden of his failures fell on investors and others who had bet on his business acumen."

Hillary Clinton has more experience and his more qualified to be POTUS than any of the seventeen republican nominees.

The republican party made two poor choices.
In the previous election the candidate refused to show his tax returns and made derogatory comments about the 47% that sunk his campaign

The Democratic party picked a much more qualified candidate that was elected twice despite the republican party attempting to make him a one term president.

The republican party now has a presumptive nominee (Birther) that falsely claimed our present present was not born in the USA.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/12/nyreg ... -news&_r=0

His intelligence borders on that of Sarah Palin and we all know the results of that previous election.

Trump is one HUGE FAIL

Hillary,Elizabeth Warren,the media exposing all of his faults and the Democrats going to destroy him.
He may even not receive the nomination and quietly fade away.

Is he purposely running his campaign into the ground to hand a victory to Hillary?

Over the past two weeks it certainly seems that way.
