GOP Enters Panic Mode: Des Moines Register Calls For Trump To Withdraw From Presidential Race
When Donald Trump announced he would give 2016 another try as a republican presidential candidate, the GOP saw him as a mild nuisance. Little did they appreciate just how big of a "nightmare" he would very soon become, a nightmare which now sees the flamboyant billionaire whose self-reported net worth fluctuates daily with a double digit percentage lead over his closest competitor Scott Walker.
But the biggest mistake the GOP did is they inability to comprehend that either the US public enjoys being trolled, or is just so sick of the left/right paradigm, it will gladly latch on to anyone, even the most farcical, self-lampooning candidate, who promises a break from the old routine which has proven not to work for the common American.
The latest confirmation that the Trump "nightmare" is causing not only sleepless nights but also panic attacks for a GOP that is scrambling to respond to the Donald's juggernaut is not only open attempts at caricature, which however merely feed Trump's ego and push him to troll his accusers even more, but to use the influential Des Moines Register, Iowa's largest newspaper and a critical voice when it comes to endorsing, or panning, presidential candidates in this first caucus state, to call on Donald Trump to drop out of the 2016 presidential race.
Officially the Register's position was simply in escalation to the furor over the real estate magnate's weekend comments about Sen. John McCain's service during the Vietnam War. As Fox reports, in an editorial piece published late Monday, the Register said Trump's comments were "not merely offensive, they were disgraceful. So much so, in fact, that they threaten to derail not just his campaign, but the manner in which we choose our nominees for president."
The paper, the most influential in the first-in-the-nation caucus state, went on to say that if "[Trump] had not already disqualified himself through his attempts to demonize immigrants as rapists and drug dealers, he certainly did so by questioning [McCain's] war record."
Unofficially, it is called throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks.
Following this weekend's firestorm, Trump - who clearly enjoys playing the starring role in every social scandal - appeared to back off some of his comments Monday, telling Fox News' Bill O'Reilly that "if there was a misunderstanding, I would totally take that back." However, Trump also said he "used to like [McCain] a lot. I supported him ... but I would love to see him do a much better job taking care of the veterans."
Whether Trump's apology is sincere or not, the nationwide response he got for his comments, coupled with his popularity surge, will merely encourage him. And since for the real estate magnate, advertising is everything, the fact that he has become the only topic of discussion, whether at the water cooler or during the prime time news circuit, expect the Trump-eting to continue to whatever bitter end is in store.
The Register, which broke a 40-year run of backing Democrats in presidential elections by endorsing Mitt Romney in 2012, was the latest voice to pile on Trump for his comments, joining veterans groups, Republican colleagues and President Obama's spokesman, who defended McCain and called on Trump to apologize.
Paul Rieckhoff, founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, said Monday that Trump's "asinine comments" were "an insult to everyone who has ever worn the uniform — and to all Americans."
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said veterans "are entitled to an apology."
The bottom line is that the GOP did not take Trump seriously, which is precisely what he wanted. And now that underestimation is costing the GOP dearly, as it scrambles with damage control which merely adds insult to injury, because conventional retaliation that may have worked with any other candidate simply strengthens Trump.
Then again, considering America's artificially polarizing left/right model - all of it controlled by unelected corporations and bailed out Wall Street banks - has failed, and a vote for Trump is not "a vote for Trump" but a vote against America's broken political system, perhaps it is the case that the president the US truly needs, and the one person the American electorate will select, is this guy.

Donnie Boy gets the Ron Paul treatment!
"I can see Sarah Palin's underwear from my bathroom window on my iPad"
Liberals hate him, the GOP hates him, the media hates him, illegals hate him... why am I supposed to hate him again?
Good question. Trump is a jerk, but probably better than any other candidate.
If I were a chef, I would’ve invented a Trump Salad:
1 oz. of whatever-distresses-your-damsel veggies
3 oz. of horsehair combed-over atop of it, and
2 carrots on each side of the plate carved as middle-fingers to both, Dems and Reps establishment.
Looney
“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” -- H.L. Mencken
Trump cannot lose your vote or support. It is Trump who fires you!
he should mention the black criminality problem in this country while hes at it.
Trump is nothing more than a wealthy blowhard. He is striking some touchy nerves with his comments though. Other Repugnicans might learn a thing or two.
LOL! Trump just doxxed Lindsey Graham on live air!

And just wait until Trump assassinates Snowden!

I'm sorry, but I have to call the Tylers out on this click bait... I grew up in Des Moines, IA (sad, I know...) but there's one thing that sticks out in my mind about the DSM Register... the entire editorial board (ok, maybe a bit of hyperbole there) is liberal, borderline socialist. My take on the Register calling for Trump to end his campaign is simply that they want to clear the way for Hillary. If Bush were the front runner, they'd be lambasting him over something. Trump's comments are just low-hanging fruit for those lib-tards and fthe Tylers trying to make something more out of it, frankly, just pisses me off... that's why I take everything I see on here with a grain of salt anymore...
Fact Check: The Washington Post on Donald Trump and John McCain
https://sharylattkisson.com/fact-check-the-washington-post-on-donald-trump-and-john-mccain/
We is starting to think that Trump is actually an actor played by BULWORTH.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQC6APNoXSc
Fact: Donald will never get the GOP nomination.
Fact: Donald will leave the GOP and run as a third-party candidate. Doesn't matter which one.
Fact: He will pull enoungh votes away from GOP for the Dems to win 2016
Probable: Hillary will be Pres
I am fine with that. This country is being driving over the cliff. Might as well do it on high-speed rails with Hillarity.
Trump should buy the rag, fire everyone and close it.
Just for shits and giggles.
he can get the loan..
he's done it before and he can do it again.
he needs a publishing company to match his mouth..
so old , conservative me is now a fan
go Donald, go Donald go Donald go

..look at all the screaming chicks at the voice-over..
it does not get better than that

Not a voice-over on this one here, but
What a concept .. “two girls for every boy”
Maybe that could catch on with ISiS

Hey Trump,
Start talking about TPP, TISP, GATT, NAFTA, and unlimitteed immigration, and how those treasonous treaties and policies have destroyed the earning ability of the average American. Then I'd believe you're the real deal.
SMG
Oh yeah, and start talking about the Globalist Bankster syndicate, and all the bad stuff it does to the United States and the world. I think people would really benefit from that information.
<< Trump is a jerk, but probably better than any other candidate. >>
Are you implying Hillary and 'Jeb' are any better?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrL_M4wv_gI
Bingo! Hillary and Jeb are corruption defined!
double post sorry
Stupid double posting idiot…
Stupid double posting idiot…
GOP is against him because he is NOT the NWO candidate.
How do you know that? He may not be THE NWO candidate, but he very well be an NWO candidate. He certainly has his price.
I am fine with that. This country is being driving over the cliff. Might as well do it on high-speed rails with Hillarity.
I'm fine with it too because you'd have to be a buffoon to think the dems actually want to be in control when this all collapses.... And that wont be 4 more years. I don't give a shit what anybody says, the left does NOT want the next presidency and it'll take them 2.4 seconds to blame the collapse on conservatives and conservative values sneding them and the Constitution onto the dustbin of history.
I believe that is entirely possible. They set up the conditions for collapse and war, then walk away and wait for the media to do their part and blame the r's for said war and collapse. If that is the case, there is a very good probability it would work. The people will eat it up.
....
I can't wait for a Hillary presidency! I'm tired of blaming a black man for all of my problems. I want to blame a woman for all of my problems!!!
Dammit! I wanna be a sexist!!
Where have you been?
Everywhere we look all of the problems are still because of "white men". Even now regions declare they are "still too white". Now it's called "white privilege".
FACT: He will die before ever becoming the next president.
I hope trump keeps this shit up until the end of this year, at least. That will give him time to totally disorient both d and r machines. Their heads will be spinning. Ha!! The media will just be screaming incoherently at anything and everything! It'll be great.
'The Donald will restore respect and stature to America, 'The Donald' is not bowing to Political Correctness nor any other sacred cows as for the John McCain Hero? non Hero? debate, most people, my self included, believe McCain, along with many others, spent time in the Hanoi Hilton, an ordeal I haven't faced nor would I want to face, for this he deserves, and gets my, respect, hopefully the Government gives him, and all who faced that ordeal a good pension, where the story might be a bit embellished is the part where they wanted to release him and he refused to leave, remember now, these are the people who tortured him, if an American prison wanted you to leave, do you think you could refuse to go? These people torture him yet he has the power to refuse their commands, I hope his story is true in every detail, I am sure there are many children, and some not so young, with a picture of John McCain on their wall just to the right of Jesus whom which they draw inspiration every night as they say their evening Prayers!
*
Very zen.
Here we go again. Another Us v Them circle jerk by the herd. Has there been a suggestion of a return to, or even a cursory glance in the direction of our Constitutional Republic, been mentioned by any of the canditates?...... Anyone? ........ Anyone?
"He's the pick of the bunch so that's good enough for me" comments infuriate the shit out of me.
So stop bitching. You ain't voting so what do you care?
A free, moral and productive society requires that the individuals living within it possess a certain degree of education and discernment. It is up to those who understand this to pass it on to others who have seemingly lost their way. And yes, those who want Trump to save the little guy while sticking it to the elites by denying the little guy his Second Amendment rights have lost their way.
So everyone together now, "Come and take it, Donald!"
Voting? That's rich. Come on pal...you know these are rigged elections.
Ted Cruz comes to mind...
It IS us v. them.
Us versus the people you see on the tv everyday. Whoever they are.
Al Gophilia, It really is "Hillarys" turn, fair is fair, so be fair!
Looks like Hitlery forgot to send the Des Moines Register, and you, the memo: "to clear the way for Hillary" is the whole reason Trump is running.
I would be surprised if Trump won the presidency, but what he is doing is great for conservatives. The real voice of conservatism has been stifled by the MSM, the thought police and political correctness. The person on Main Street has been fearful of speaking out for fear of political retribution (when De Bliaso says NY won't do business with Trump isn't that discriminaton?). Trump is the only candidate with the guts to stand up and call out the left on its tyrannical tactics and he is the voice that so many people have waited to hear. While the rest of the Repugs waddle in politically correct circles, scared to offend any of the very small liberal special interest groups that scream so loud, and fail to espouse the strenghts of conservatism the way Reagan did, Trump is out calling it as he sees it and this scares the shit out of the status quo....he may need to fear more than El Chapo. I for one love what he is doing...he has POTUS on his heels and single handedly is uniting bullied and beat down conservatives behind one voice. He'll make mistakes for sure, but I'd rather have a guy who calls it as he sees it and makes a few mistakes over the one who is to scared or timid to call out bullshit...and its great he's calling out losers in his own party. Watch, he'll carry this thing to the end and then pick a candidate to back and send all his votes that way. Trump could be the best thing that happened to conservatism since Reagan.
Trump travels in good, conservative company.

Can you find anyone running for office that does not have their picture taken with the Clintons?
Our good buddy Trump has done more than just have his picture taken with the Clintons. He's donated over $100K to the Clinton Foundation and he's contributed to every one of her election campaigns.
Hell, he was a registered Democrat until 2009.
http://dailycaller.com/2015/05/14/donald-trump-donated-at-least-100k-to-...
Dude, the photo confused them and now you're confusing them even more with facts.
Trump said it out loud. Anyone who wants to succeed must pay the libs, especially if you are operating on the east coast, NY to be specific. Everyone knows it and Trump said it, that its all cronyism now. Pay to play. We hate it but like everything else about our corrupt system, none of us can really afford to be throwing stones in our glass houses. Trump seems to think he can.
I don't know what he is all about and like you I am suspicious of him, but you can't deny he is laying it up side the heads of the mainstream republicans and it is great to watch. They are genuinely frightened of him...and for damned good reason as they at best have been setting on their hands for years and years.
I do get tired of every candidate being trashed because of this or that. We are rightly cynical, but perfection is not on the menu.
Buggs Bunny?
Well the SOCIALISTS masquerading as Libertarians here, Billy the Poet, cannot handle the inconvenient facts.
Trump did call for the execution of Snowden.
It is a fact. They do not want to even deal with the truth.
It is sad that they are all seeking the Great White Hope and Trump is not it. There is no hope. The reason that there is no hope is that ZH is populated by these entitlement menatlity whiners...WHO ARE IN DENIAL THAT THEY HAVE THE ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY.
They will declare that they are anti state and yet they are just anti Obma. Well I cannot blame them for that as I am also anti Obama.
But they actually believe that something will change when Obama leaves and it is their guy's turn. Yes I will agree that it will change. It will get much, much worse as there is a progression of the totalitarianism.
Trump he wants to have whistleblowers serverely punished but then is contradictory when he suggests that Obama's records are released for public scrutiny. It is laughable.
And then they do not even want to talk about Trump's stance on the 2nd Amendment. It does not fit in with their world view and their narrative.
And I will be as junked as you for posting this.
And after it collapses you can see the reason that so many will perish as they are so unfit to survive it. They are just sucked into it and too damned stupid.
Ttump knows when a casino is being rigged and what to do about it. Maybe he will also give a few folks a lesson in what happens to dealers that skim.
So now we're betting four years of our future on a "maybe?"
Trumps wants to ban so-called "assault weapons" (his progressive terminology, not mine), he entertains the Clintons, donates more money to Democrats (including Schumer) than to Republicans, he wants to assassinate Snowden and he's begging for Sheldon Adelson's support because he says that he's the only one who can save Israel.
That's a real mixed bag of crapolla right there.
So who's going to be your Huckleberry? Is Jesus running?
I won't be voting. So don't be concerned that your vote to be disarmed and robbed by Donald Trump will be negated by my vote to be disarmed and robbed by somebody else. I'm too old for games.
I intend to vote but I don't know for whom yet, and if we get a real dick, I won't vote at all. I believe in principle but not to the point of beating my head against the wall in total futility.
I would rather back a "maybe" than what would be a sure loss for our nation by backing the status quo candidates that are being trotted out.
Why do you believe that you can't make your own decisions about how to live your life? The time and energy spent on thinking about how The Donald will make your life so much better would be better employed in doing real things in the real world which would actually make your life better.
Now you are beginning to sound a bit desperate. Point out all the ways the teflon Don is worse than Jeb or Hillary... I imagine it is going to be a short list.
Now perform the same exercise and point out how those two are worse than Trump. Notice your list becomes a lot longer.
Standard Disclaimer: Trump has dealt with bankrupt businesses, now he'll get to deal with a bankrupt country.
If you're pinning your hopes on being saved by Trump or any other politician then you're the one who is desperate. Why do I need to point out the differences between a bunch of people whom I distrust and don't like? I'll leave such endeavors to you.
I don't trust or like any of them. But someone WILL be elected, so if I can select someone who I believe is a true lesser of evils, I will do so. If not, I will not.
ROFLMAO....

So the idiots you got are better?
The games being played are saner? more patriotic? less lies?
Fuck give me a break. USA USA is gone, left the building a long time ago...problem is when does push get to shove? when do the working poor on food stamps? the municipal gov's that were sold fraud? the investors who were robbed by MF Global? the revolving door sociopaths? the spiritually devoid? the TBTF? when does the lie die?
May take a buffoon to point a finger.
<----- Jeb Bush
<----- Hillary Clinton
In the event we end up in another Bush/Clinton election (and thank God it doesn't look that way as much as it did a few months ago), I'm deciding which of the two I need to plant a few 10d nails in their skull from my nail gun. Your vote, above.
(Please note I will ignore your vote and do whatever the hell I feel like doing anyway, just like Obama)
<-- None of the above
You should read the question before answering. I'm offering you the chance to pick who catches a nail in the head and you're saying "no thanks, not interested".
Sorry NoDept, I can't vote for either one for any reason.
Why be stingy? I'd sure you can purchase enough nails to complete a good 'finishing job' on both of them.
and i think you're missing the point.
choosing bewteen team red and team blue is a charade that more and more people are no longer falling for
Consider that for decades roughly 50% of the people (living and dead) have been voting for president, and every cycle we see billions spent on turning what seems to be a tiny portion, say 3%, one way or another.
What if we had a candidate who actually pursued the 50% that haven't been voting. At the very least we know these folks have not been voting for more free shit, so that has to be a good thing. The only other alternative is a revolution and/or collapse, neither of which seem all that appealing. Not participating solves nothing accept to avoid blame supposedly....but just so you know, I still blame you for Obama...both times, because yes, I still think the alternative was less worse...so shoot me. I will accept responsibility for my choices.
I think there is a big problem with the voting system.
I think that true democratic votes would be based on popular opinion and not "first past the post". There is a problem with the way voting is structured.
Politicos in the British system are scared shitless of any reform that tilts the reps into who got the most votes overall. Always first past the post in every riding. So you get gov's that have low apporval getting majority reps.
The USA USA voting system is equally as screwed.
I think our election system should be overhauled for sure. My preference would to be to have a series of runoffs. We currently have a field of approximately 20 candidates from both parties. Instead of primaries, have multiple elections, starting with those who can qualify to be on the ballot by collecting a certain number of signatures. Once the field is set have a general election, eliminating those in the bottom half. Repeat this process until we are down to two.
This two party deal is fucked in that we can have a republican, a democrat, and an even more conservative third party candidate....all three running but the conservative sapping off conservative votes meaning the true minority candidate would win. By ensuring that the final election is a choice between two, we have the best chance of the election at least being representative of the dominant perspective. By having a series of runoffs we have a better exposure to the candidates.
I would also like to see real debates, one on one, with a moderator like real debates are supposed to be conducted. This could be done on a public access channel and the net so everyone would have access to them, not just once but on demand. The current version of debates is more of a public presentation forum with very little exposure of ideas and platforms until the final contestants are selected. I want to see more of all of them, before they have been eliminated by Iowa.
Oldwood, your preference still looks a bit like a tennis tournament system, all mired to have one winner only, the "one-in-power", be it one executive, one party, etc. isn't it?
and since there is only one seat of power available, this automatically makes two factions to contend for it
to the result that any third candidate, third party or third opinion is often a hindrance to the next nearer contendent
my question to that would be why is it so important to have such a focused, "winner takes all" system at all
ZH: "either (A) the US public enjoys being trolled, or (B) is just so sick of the left/right paradigm, it will gladly latch on to anyone, even the most farcical, self-lampooning candidate, who promises a break from the old routine which has proven not to work for the common American"
(A): can't judge that, but for sure there is an American audience on ZH that does enjoy any kind of doom theory. well, some are fascinating, I have to admit. I just can't follow the "enjoyment" part
(B): NOT SICK ENOUGH. the dual paradigm is 100% product of an electoral system from the 18th Century, period
as long as one seat is for votes, two will contend for it, be them green versus black or red versus blue or whatever
my problem with direct elections for one seat of power is a different one: it gives the one a whole load of... legitimacy. The One Speaks For The People, All Of Them
even the ancient Romans, who the US Founding Fathers admired, found it that One is at least One Too Few
my question to that would be" why is it so important to have such a focused, "winner takes all" system at all"
empires only work if led by the tyrant. when empire became the goal the USA was lost. republics make terrible empires third and fourth parties having real power makes it too hard to maintain consistant policy and thus threaten the EMPIRE.
And robobob...You are missing the point. Do you want them dead?
I wrote that I cannot choose which one so I would like to have both of them dangling from a lamppost.
Hang them all...for treason.
NoDebt...
Well I...I...I just cannot choose.
Come on...That is such a difficult choice...
Can I have both get the nail from the nail gun? Please?
<-- Nihilism
There. Fixed if for you.
THe country needs another Cunt-on (with sexual predator husband in tow) or Bush about as much as the country needs a third term with the fudgepacker...
I would never vote for Trump but if he keeps sticking it to Mccain, Grahamnesty and the rest of the establishment bastards he can be my hero for a few days.. WHO GIVES A SHIT WHAT The DesMoines liberal cocksucking register has to say, they do not speak for me or the people I know. We want the Constitution and the law upheld whomever is the champion of that is ok by me.. Temporary alliances work even with the donald..
Damn straight
Trump is at least entertaining when I see him on FAUXMSNBCNN at the gym. His flying suplex and piledriver moves are way better than Jeb Bush or John McCain's, hands down.
If as a side effect Trump causes the entire RINOGOP to implode in a gigantic fireball, the more the better.
Most people I talk to like him and are serious about voting for him ---whites, Hispanics, blacks, Asians--they say he's speaking the truth so that gives him a huge advantage in their minds even if they disagree. They are "tired of bullshitters."
They haven't heard the truth for so long, and haven't tried to find it, that of course anything he says sounds like the truth.
These are the people who watch MSM and most of the time still think they are getting the truth from them.
Trump would be a disastrous president, he's fascist in his own ways, and he'd probably staff up with neo-cons and wall street swindlers, so I hope he doesn't win...
But for the here and now, you got to love what he's doing to the established candidates sure to sell us out.
On the other side you have Dems pissed off at Hillary that she's not for Glass-Steagall. That seems to be the #1 issue for Dems right now.
Both sides are getting shaken up, and I hope it continues.
Glass-Steagall
Once Trump takes away your rifle he won't need to support the Constitution and you'll just have to like it.

I will tire of him, I know he supports East coast Lib trash, not blind here just looking for a date at 1:00, bars closing..
I don't consider drunken pick ups to be a good way to preserve the traditional family values on which a moral and productive society depends.
Now that IS a dead duck.
Gee thanks Billy you have successfully assigned morals to a hypothetical throw away line.. Now I and others ( real people) see what you probably are; a bot, designed to bounce arguments out of your supposedly Con. programming.. Thanks Batt77, the gift that keeps giving...

Still think he is a bot..
I like Trump's pronouncements on illegal immigration, Mexico, and John McCain.
But I am reserving judgement.
And this is exactly why. We DO NOT know the whole Trump story yet.
Horseshit. If you drill down more than a quarter of an inch you'll find your answer.
Trump is a FED, MIC and Wall Street bankster ball licker.
Yes, but maybe he doesn't enjoy it and does so for the money...like the rest of us.
Perhaps it is good to reserve judgement, (dirty shirts metaphor here).
Realistically you are in a percentage of the population too low to count.
We still are uncertain as to the back story of the current POTUS, yet he was elected twice, warts and all.
Our next POTUS will be popularized in the same way, for political and fiscal profit.
Somehow I know that profit will not flow to me.
you say you can never vote for trump.
say it got down to trump vs hillary, would u seriously not be able to vote for trump?
even if u despise trump, that should be an easy choice.
You're pretty good at picking the lesser of two evils. Suppose I told you I was going to hit you in the skull with either a hammer or with a tire-iron. With how much gusto are you going to yell "Hit me with the tire-iron! Hit me with the tire-iron?"
while u may see it that way, i do not see trump as the '' lesser of the evil''.
i see trump as a man, who while has deff been a controversial figure for all these years, he is a man who will not be intimidated by anyone, and he will call it like it is.
also, unlike all the other candidates, particularly hillary and bush, trump is not being bought by everyone, as he has too much money to spend in his life.
i see him as a breath of fresh air.
now hillary or jeb, that would be voting for the lesser of 2 evils.
just my 2 cents, but i can deff see why u and many other people do not like trump.
also, unlike all the other candidates, particularly hillary and bush, trump is not being bought by everyone, as he has too much money to spend in his life.
So why is he hitting up Sheldon Adelson for support?
Donald J. Trump Verified account @realDonaldTrump
Nobody but Donald Trump will save Israel. You are wasting your time with these politicians and political clowns. Best! #SheldonAdelson
maybe trump wouldn't have just signed some lunatic agreement with iran? i know i don't trust those camel jockeys. they scream death to the us, and death to israel everytime there is a microphone around their face.
Yeah.
That deal did piss off Netanyahu and the neocons, didn't it?
So Trump supports the Zionist State like the rest of the neocons?
That makes for a perfect choice.
In other words...MOAR f the same.
Billy, life is nothing but choices and typically we are always stuck picking the less worse. Why do you think picking our King would be any better? Standards are fine and good, but if adhered to too stringently, likely none of us would have ever been laid, still waiting for our perfect mate (as depicted in Playboy magazine, April 1971).
Still waiting on Utopia?
Utopia is a fictional, centrally planned and organized society and that is just what you support when you vote for Trump or anyone else. If you really see Utopia as being a foolish, unattainable thing then why are you recommending it to me?
I say, leave behind your Utopian dreams and join the real world where real people do real work each and everyday without asking permission from their betters.
And sit on our hands and wait for the end? Our constitution gave us as good of tools as history has yet seen, and while they are far from perfect they are what we got to work with. I say we try, and if we fail so be it. If futility was our end, none of us would have ever done more than drink cheap wine from under a bridge somewhere. And it still is an option.
I would withhold my vote and my acquiescence of the power structure to rule me, like any discerning individual.
Trump pissed off a lot of people today. For that he gets a high five....but not a vote.
Yes, it's all good entertainment. But TPTB will not allow him to be president. At some point his kids will be threatened and he will fall in line. The banksters rule this world and are not giving up without a fight.
I protest! My registered vote only works for one of them.
Oh hell yes!
lol,after the inauguration.....pull a "white" obama.....
Which Black criminality problem is that? OHHHHHHHH, is that the one where you hate niggers? Know what? The niggers hate you too. I'm OK with that. I'm white and you pieces of pink shit think you got it goin on. You ain't got shit, except for shit for brains. It's not an easy thing to cure your mental illness you have. Too bad it's not terminal, we could do without a pig like you.
I doubt if you would even be able to understand the historical context of why this country is the way it is, but that's OK. You probably don't understand big words like H I S T O R I C A L. I can tell you belong down on the farm fucking the other pink pigs, thats what you're qualified for......nother big word.....q u a l i f i e d!
Something your so far from your only worth fuckin the pigs. They told me your asshole is filled with tobacco! YEEEEEHAAAAAAA another pink pig whore likes only the pink pigs, but that BIG BLACK ONE slipped it in your asshole when you wernt looking and you thought it was your tongue sticking out of your mouth.
I hope you go to jail sometime pig, I promise you'll get fucked, it's what you deserve you fucking piece of trash!
So there a response for you mr. badass from you computer terminal. Git your sorry ass out there a TRY to run a few Niggers off, you'll be a dead punk in about 2 minutes and you should be fed to the hogs.
My apologies to the Black community for using your word, but I felt it would enhance my point that this pig needs to get fucked by a couple of brothers right befor they knock his punk ass out! YES DUDE your a punk!
Fuck correct spelling and punctuation I doubt you can really read anything more than a flyer from the klan,,,,you're a dunce!
Smells like white guilt.
Sort of like milk gone bad mixed with 2 week old skiddy underwear.
One of Al Sharpton's whores. Nobody's buying your lies, so shut the fuck up.
The niggers screaming obscenities at each other outside my windows last night also don't know any history. They have no morals or decency. Exactly like out of control animals. Nobody that's spent time around them is surprised that they fill the prisons beyond capacity.
You just think you're white.
Vanilla Oreo?
lets see 12.9 percent of the population commit 58.9 percent of all violent crimes. but of that 12.9 percent males from 14 to 34 commit 84 percent of those. so thats really about 3.7 percent of the population committing more than 50 percent of all violent crimes.
but your right, we don't have a problem.
I would vote for Trump...but once you start with "blacks" and not criminals in general it's a non starter. There are black criminals but there are criminals of all colors. Trump can't win with only white right wing males.
Get with the narative!
It is black lives that matter...NOT black behavior.
only a few retards left still reading newsprint propaganda
question#16: should retirees be exempt from property tax increases on their primary residences?
that is from the offical republican party document.....2016 presidential platform survey!
oh wait....didn't high school government teach me that property taxes are state and local matter....or was that a dream
As state and local governments are completely dependent upon the federal teat, there are no longer states rights or jurisdiction. Common core? Highway and education and public housing and infinite other infections of federal influence.
H.L. Mencken predicted the fudgepacker!!! Who woulda thunk it.....
I wonder how long before the banksters threaten to pull the plug on the Donalds finacing. They must be using this to collar all the other candidates. "You scum bags want to win?, Do you know how much money it will take to beat a guy with billions? When we get you eleceted, we own you."
This would be par for the course.
I worked for him a number of years ago in corporate. He is tough but actually pretty honest and straight up good with his people. He isn't the bad guy people make him out to be. In reality that is. The public image is a really big part of who he is but its not all of it.
Maybe you can contact him and provide a copy of G.Edward Griffin's The Creature From Jekyll Island. It would be nice to know where Trump stands on the FED.

Well I think everyone knows how I feel about Trump round here...but...the Des Moines Register?
Fuck the Des Moines Register, they're only slightly to the right of HuffPo.
I find his arrogance off putting for sure, but apparently it sells, and I still find it less offensive than Obama's smirk, but then again I must be a racist.
I can't help but think all this bullshit is manufactured and the leftwing press is eating it up, anything to keep peoples attention AWAY FROM Hillary roping the press like cattle, Benghazi, multi-millionaire contributors, billion dollar family foundations and private email servers smashed with claw hammers.
And I know the anger he's feeding off of...but he ain't The One ;-)
At least for me.
If he sends me one of those steaks, I'll vote for him easily. If he sends me two steaks, I'll vote twice for him.
Since Hillary vehemently hates the Middle Class, it's hard to see anyone but Wall Street Corp Moguls at one end, and the FSA at the other end voting for her.
I hate to say it but I think many will vote for her without considering these facts nmewn and distracting the American public certainly isn't difficult today. I don't think he has any intention really seeking office. It seems like he's just getting off on all the attention.
The One for me would arm the border and enforce the laws already on the books, not gas around about it. I haven't seen any candidate since RP that looks willing shake this country to the core and end the bullshit.
You told me once Hitlery would never become president. For my sanity I hope you are right.
Miffed
Once upon a time trustworthiness & character meant something and she's always had high negatives in that regard.
Not to push you over the edge...lol...(seriously, I know you won't) but I think the country has "changed" since Obama.
You can remember a time yourself when open graft & corruption was dealt with (harshly or softly) but it was still dealt with. Now its in your face and they're all in on it, the picking of the carcass of Lady Liberty.
There is no "all pulling in one direction" everyone's out for themselves, JFK to Jefferson must be spinning in their graves.
There is no "law" now (as we once knew it) only diktats from on high and 600+ million grubby happy hands grabbing.
Just know when I lie & steal from this point Forward! I'm only mimicking what it has become around me, the new normal, a third world country.
And know that I know its wrong but when us & ours finally share a bottle of Ardbeg 76, don't ask where or how I got it, we'll just enjoy it ;-)
Eff the GOP !
I'm with Trump
Ok, Mr. CEO of SVG Capital Partners-Medical/Healthcare Technology...lol.
WTF does that even mean...are you the CEO of "a company" that employs stay-at-home "folks" doing medical "transcription" work for the government or what?
It means you have a small mind...
..but an even smaller dick you POS !
It means you have a small mind...
..but an even smaller dick you POS !
if it is hil versus jeb, I'll probably vote hil. just to get to reset as quick as possible. Bring on the inevitable before I'm too old.
THAT' THE SPIRIT !!!!
That is PRECISELY what I am doing. I haven't voted since the 2000 election when I voted for that functional retard W.
But now .....it's Operation Mayhem. I'm voting straight Democrat from the Whitehouse to the State House to the Court House and the Out House. Fuck this country.
If they want Statists, I'm going to help blow this bitch up.
You're confused. There will be no grand reset, just decent into hell. Voting for Hillary is like wishing for the onset of a chronic debilitating disease. Suffering with no end in sight.
Hell.
Few believe in hell until they see it.
Good....that's what I'm going to help bring ......hell.
A refreshing break from the Bushton's
Yea people talk alot of shit about Trump but almost none of those people have been more successful in life than he.
He is a smart guy, I trust him to run shit better than any of those other clowns. What have they done done besides become career politicians?
The truth is quite disruptive.
Scares the shit out of the tyrant class.
But Trump is running for tyrant. He says that Americans "deserve" the gutting of the Second Amendment.
"I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within seventy-two hours if a potential gun owner has a record." -- Donald Trump, The America We Deserve
Very few rich people want you and me to have guns. They can hire private protection all nice and legal. That's why I already have mine. And besides, it's not really about guns. Our leaders have repeatedly demonstrated they really don't give a shit about us anyway. This have been pushing this theme for decades now and all it has done is create record sales of guns and ammo. They would never be able to get rid of all of it, if much at all. Most of us lost them with our metals in a boating accident anyway.
The real purpose in my mind is that knowing that guns are everywhere and largely ideology held, that few if any would relinquish them on demand. What this does is instantly make us outlaws.
What is the one commonality between ALL outlaws?
THEY HAVE NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, other than a speedy trial...supposedly, unless you are a security threat in which case you can have indefinite detention. Maybe this all sounds too nuts, but think about it. They have done everything to usurp our constitutional rights and using political correctness to silence us. Once we are self aware to our outlaw status, we will be silenced, as we know that our speech (likely monitored) will put light upon us that could have extreme consequences compared to what we face currently. And as we know we are all here anonymously, not because we are ashamed of our birth name.
Capitulation requires coercion, either through bribery or threat, and our threat is demonstrated through our silence.
I submit a tyrant model for The Donald's consideration.
Never forget that a tyrant is free to change his/her mind at any time.
It's what tyrants do.

LOL
Long The Donald bumper stickers .....
OK, let's say The Donald is a little "over the top" for your tastes as a somewhat mainstream Republican or probably more accurately, somebody who generally holds with conservative values.
Fair enough, I can understand that.
But would it kill the R's other candidates to show just a LITTLE BIT of fire in the belly like The Donald does? Just anything that looks like maybe they're just the slightest bit mad as hell about the shitty direction this country is taking and show you're willing to start PUSHING BACK? Or are they all of the John Boehner/Mitch McConnell "dear God, don't anybody rock the boat!" school of walking on political egg shells?
Is it not OBVIOUS to the other candidates that showing SOME backbone is appreciated across a HUGE swath of the electorate? I mean, can't they learn ANYTHING from The Donald's success? What he is doing is called WINNING. Other candidates might want to try to emulate it some time.
By the way, Hillary just made another $100MM in the time it too me to write this.
Damn straight.
(Hillary is destitute, except for her half billion in bribes. Hadn't you heard?)
