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.

You've got it. My senator, ron Johnson is a class A douchebag, spends his time on CNBC cheering Bernanke/Yellen. Paul Ryan is my congressman although it appears he's been absent for 4 yrs because I haven't heard a word from him. Fuck All These RINO fuckers. At least Donald says what a lot of people think. Oh, and McCain, you're a cunt. Go fuck yourself- my dad was a hero, you're a piece of shit
What I think you're tapping into (and we got it in spades out Pennsylvania way, too) is that the Republican party is NO LONGER A VIABLE POLITICAL PARTY, ABSENT DONALD TRUMP.
They're sure as shit not a conservative party any more. They're not even an opposition party. They're helping and enabling the current administration in every way possible.
So... what the fuck do we need them for? Nothing. Hell, I at least respect that the Ds can get their shit together and push for an agenda. What have the Rs done since winning HUGE gains in Congress in both 2010 and 2014? Absolutely fucking nothing. If anything, they've become even MORE compliant. Worthless piles of shit. Let's just elect a King, send Congress home and be done with it.
All hail Hillary "The Reaper," our eternal Queen of Darkness (and all things good for us that we don't know are good for us that we can't be trusted with and other such things).
Most of our congress and senate are outright treasonous. If they were part of another country doing what they are doing to the USA, we would have declared war on that country. Instead, they are part of us, so we plant our heads where the sun does not shine.
ron johnson was financed by the TeaPartiers and he switched so fast it was breathtaking.
Do you consider this to be "over the top" for "somebody who generally holds with conservative values?"
“I mean, I’ve contributed to Schumer, I contribute — I’ve known Schumer for many, many years. And I have a good relationship with him. The fact is, that I think it is time maybe that we all do get along,” -- Donald Trump to Sean Hannity
The good thing is if the media is talking all day about Trump, they're not talking about Her Thighness.
Slingshot move, coming up. "Shake and bake" - hahahahaha
I heard a comedian tell a joke about how if we're ever invaded by giant aliens we should climb up and attack their buttholes, and they wouldn't stick around long. Just go straight for the buttholes from day one. Say whatever you want about Trump, but he is clearly a man that is willing to put on the climbing gear and hack at giant buttholes.
Why, oh why, can I only upvote you once?!? Sweet Jesus, that was fuckin' funny -- I am still giggling like a prepubescent school-girl 5 minutes after the fact!
Good shit. Thanks, bud!
:D
+1. The sort of funny that gets imprinted in your brain. Which frankly is a better use of brain cells IMO than most everything else these days.
If he can destroy the RINO control of the Republican Party, I could tolerate him for 4 years....
Look at the shit I have had to tolerate so far from the Republicans.
And isn't it time Des Moines took a back seat in this process?
Look at all the shitty candidates that have emeged out of Iowa.
It's not as if they have a good track record choosing properly.
Who exactly decided that Iowa should be the kingmakers anyway?
Couldn't agree more.
To hell with Iowa. It's a homogeneous agrarian state in no way representative of the vast majority of the U.S.
Don't give a flying fuck what the Des Moines Register editorial pages say.
des moines register, used to be a fish wrapper but now it has ben demoted to bottom of the birdcage.
the Iowa GOP Party is directly plugged into the RNC, this is all about party politics and the Establishment organs such as the RNC and the subordinate state party orgs work for the most part in lock step. Trump isn't a party functionary, and never has been. He's akin to an uppity nigger saying he wants to sit at the table. MC Hammer's "Too legit to quit" would be a great campaign sound for his rallies.
Iowa isn't exactly a bastion of intelligence. Des Moines is a shithole. Even worse is Council Bluffs. It's all dumb idiots living on farms they inherited, never having had to go out and make something of themselves. Unsocialized, living an easy life with no challenges and feeling like all-stars. It's the same as North and South Dakota and other rural farmer states.
Gargling on Hillary/Warren/Jarrett/The Wookie secretions again? Like El A, NYC, Chicago denizens have something on Fly Over Country? Pissant
How about look at the shit tax paying US citizens have had to tolerate so far from the fudgepacker and its progressive liberal democrap minions.... just saying
Exactly...I changed my little Avatar from Putin to Trump....Trump...I know you are reading ZERO HEDGE....keep putting these fucks feet to the fire. The McCain comment had me going...now it is time to go in even harder. I thank you for what you are doing. I was watching CNN while I was on the stair climber at the gym...and they never even talk about the issues when it comes to Trump. Just comments like
"Why do they give this guy air time..."
"He is so offensive to so many..."
blah blah blah....they never say ANYTHING of substance to counter anything he says...because these fucks CAN'T. Trump...keep it up. Run this train right off the tracks, we are all watching and cheering. And you have my vote.
You can show your support by turning in your rifle now. Trump says that's what you "deserve" for your vote.
"I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun." -- Donald Trump, The America We Deserve
Has Trump actually mentioned anything about why he should be President of the United States, like perhaps an agenda, bullet points, or maybe something scribbled on a napkin in crayon? Anything?
All he does is talk shit and the people think he's the second coming of Christ.
He has actually broached the third rail (Aren't they all now) of Merikan politics, fucking illegal aliens. That puts him far far ahead of the rest of the field in terms of concrete opinions being posited.
Yes, you should try listening before you judge. He rails against all the free trade agreements and corps taking their jobs to china/mexico. He rails against the open borders. Also against bush/obama's stupid wars.
If he came out against the fed, he'd be anyone on ZH.
You sound like a broken record, sort of like our current crop of politicians...
Define assault weapon while you are at it.
Yes Vortmax- it is very telling that both parties and the MSM/central planners are trying their best to marginalize him. It shows how much he scares them. He has not been vetted by them and therefore, to them, he poses a threat to the status quo.
Edit: One other thing- The MSM and establishment don't seem to realize that the more they excoriate Trump the more traction he will accrue.
MSM/central planners are trying their best to marginalize him.
Yeah, they marginalize Trump by putting him all over the news and talking about him endlessly. Now take a look at how the media actually marginalizes someone they dislike. The news feed just goes "poof!"
CNN cuts off soldier then Ron Paul brings him on stage to let him finish talking!!
Ron Paul cut off the air on Fox News, after calling out media bias
Ron Paul Gets Cut Off By CNN
Fox News Cuts Off Ron Paul Speech While Talking Patriot ActYes, true. The difference is that Trump could buy an entire half hour every night until the election if he wanted and the MSM knows it. Therefore they are relying, as normal in these cases, on ad hominem attacks.
The problem these empty suits are encountering is that they go after him because they don't like him. He then goes after them highlighting their incompetence. They will all have to eventually leave him alone because he is embarassing them.
Thank you. Do you think obama likes white folks? But he doesn't say so. That's lying. Do you think hillary likes men? Etc. Thanks: you got it right.
TRUMP in 2016. If all of the papers and everybody on the TV hates him, the man must be doing something right.
TRUMP 2016
Have you contributed to his campaign? If not, why haven't you? Are you going to? If not, why not?
Ummmm....He doesn't want contributions sir. That is what he said...
After spending a career buying politicians, Trump knows how the game is played. His implication is that he has all the money and influence he needs and can now not be bought. If true, it would be a first. Every other one seems to have been forced to suckle at the teat of power brokers to pay the stupendously high costs of campaigns.
The fact is that Trump could be an axe murderer and still not be morally unfit to serve by any comparison. Unfortunately it seems to be a prerequisite.
His campaign site is accepting contributions.
Um, hang on a sec. Isn't this the guy who just recently called Snowden a traitor and implied he should die? That's not good, right? Right?
Maybe not vote for such an idiot? Might be a bad decision? Hmm?
Trump is right !
Fuck everyone of this GOP RINO's POS a-holes in the ass !
I want them to all drop out and let's tar and feather the if they don't............
Donnie is playing his part just like Ronnie.
To the down arrows who need to understand nobody will save you. I leave you with this -
“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” – Mark TwainWe are left to save ourselves, by all means available to us.
HAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Just another data point that shows that America is declining and fast.
The people are speaking and the GOP is shitting itself.
But the idiot people are picking the wrong symbol of their hatred for the system. But there's the problem. There IS nobody suitable on the GOP side.
So....let's go ahead and welcome early our new Madame Shag Gaggin' President......Hillary Rodham.
"Ron Paul will not be allowed to win Iowa"

he is an entertainer who saw a great opportunity to make some quick cash, not sure if they'll pay him that much though to decide to focus his time and energy on family or some such thing
" You're wrecking everything"!
As if the way we nominate candidates doesn't need de-railing.
Maybe Iowa should just withdraw from the primaries.
Because Trump is more important than the folks living in America's heartland.
We should all vote on the same damn day nationwide.
Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over then expecting a different result. So the morons and sheeples have been electing reelecting over and over and over again entrenched career politician turds only interested in preserving their power and feathering their own personal nests rather than addressing the concerns and looking out for U.S. Citizen tax paying citizens. On the career politician turds watch the debt is $19 trillion, America's standing is diminished below what Carter the 2nd worst U.S. President enabled, the Constitution is repeatedly trampled by those whose oath of office is to protect it (including the fossilized mental masturbation political farts in SCOTUS) while giving freebies and get out of jail free cards to criminals and illegal aliens.
To elect/reelect a career politician turd is tantamount to condemning America to the crap going on in the EU. Time to elect a U.S. born, U.S. citizen that is NOT a career politician turd. IMHO.
I haven't voted since 1996 but if I did it would be to vote from Trump just to demonstrate how great democracy is. He perfectly represents exactly what is wrong with the system, every system. You get bankruptcy to screw creditors, eminent domain to screw property holders and a host of behaviors that offend almost everyone else. And that hair...it'd be great to make another carpet for the oval office.
Who gives a crap what a stupid newspaper said. Disqualify by telling the truth? What a load of crap! Shut that irrlevant Des Moines toilet paper down.
Theres a lot of bad papers.
I can't name one that isn't on the OnePartyMedia list.
Trump speaking with Bill the bigot ORielly? The over the 49th (Canada) s enjoying this and willing it to continue. I pray to all the corrupted gods of politics and finance that some similar "outing" of garbage occurs here.
Canada is on a countdown to fed. elections. Bought by Little Stevie LapDog Harper's version of skirting the rules super PAC. WE need a Trump. here.
It just makes me puke. But Trump is calling it out. maybe dumb, But at least not FOX or CNBC or puppet, Any kind of truth is welcome.
Trump scandal to make him drop running to be revealed in 3,2,1..........
If I were an American, I would vote for Trump. Why? Very simple. Understand this: all USA politicians have been puppets so far. But Trump is not a puppet, he is one of the puppet-masters. It has been a good and sensible policy of the puppet masters to remain in the background (and this also ensured that they do not become too jealous of one another). But if one of them gets to such a position? To lead the USA, to command the army? Do you really think the other puppet masters can be happy with that? Do you think they are not afraid in the least, what could happen if one of them gets this position? How can they be sure that he would not use this to his advantage, that he would not turn against them (or some of them)? What if the popularity gets to his head, what if he suddenly wants to have it all and to send the other coleague puppet masters to hell. This is simple human psychology. This is bound to plant a seed of discord among the puppet masters. That's why all that panic.
However, I don't believe they will let him get this position. This would go against their instincts. On the other hand, the fact that they even let him get this far shows that they are really stupid. They tend to think that the population is under their full control - and this is their mistake. Nothing is ever for granted, not even for puppet-masters, because you can never be sure, when another puppet master turns against you. Especially in the situation, when everything seems to be spinning out of control and there is a threat that you will loose everything (Russia, China, BRICS etc.) - some of your colleagues in power may start to panick and try to grab a little bit more than what you agreed with them. Well, we shall see. But if I were you, I would vote for him, if possible, just to see if something happens (like a fight between the oligarchs). Perhaps nothing happens, perhaps something will. But it is worth a try. After all, you don't risk anything anymore, as the USA is on its way to hell anyway and it is impossible to make it worse.
Everyone loves 'The Donald' except the people who imagine themselves the Rulers of America with the powers to absolutely mold the opinions and attitudes of the nation, ordinary people admire 'The Donald' because he doesn't bow to the political correct Idols, He doesn't Worship sacred cows, the things 'Political Correctness' requires us to Worship without question, lately to fan fare and anticipation of much condemation, he cast doubt on McCain's hero status, I believe John McCain was a prisoner in the Hanoi Hilton along with many others, an ordeal I have never faced nor would want to face, and yes, he deserves respect and a good pension for that, so do all the others who survived the same ordeal.
Where the principal Hero's story seems possibly to exhibit the embellishments a good PR man with good connections in the media might add to 'Enhance' the story lies in the sub story, or the story within the story, to whit, the story of how, when he was to be discharged he "refused to leave" so he could stay, the story says, and inspire those who wern't scheduled for release. Does this really hold water, if you were a prisoner in an American institute could you refuse to leave when the authorities were ready to release you? These are the people who tortured him, yet in the end they obey his commandments? Certainly the base story is true, I have no doubt he was there, yet there seems to be a bit of whimsey woven into it for dramatic effect!
The illusion of choice
WB7, I need a photo of Donald Trump as 'The Honey Badger'!!
The Donald is tearing down the GOP establishment candidates daily, while constantly reminding everyone how our traitorous leaders have sold us out to China in a trade war that only multi-nationals are allowed to win. I sincerely hope The Donald stays in it until the end just for the gory eviceration of all these establishment politicians and there Fuck Americans policies. 2016 should be balls out entertaining whether he's a stealth spoiler candidate or not. If only Ron Paul would have made it as personal with his opponents as they did with him, we could of watched the undressing of McCain, et al in 2012.
Agreed. As of right now there is no GOP candidate that can Beat Hillary or that would make Piss All Difference, so might as well enjoy the Donald squeeze everybody's balls.
Think his family life is quite stable now. Certainly has one of the most beautiful daughters in the world.
I'd like to think media folks would be more interested in War with Russia too...cuz nuking Ipwa would mean nothing to Putin.
Ain't like they care about the war dead there of course.
USSA deserves the Trump, he is the logical evolution of a political electoral process that is every bit a joke as the Trumpnado is. Meaningful debate and mature discourse was flushed from the voting process decades ago and devolved into a high schoolesque Rush Limbaugh fueled name calling contest because in the end that's how real the President is to meaningful power and control in the USSA. The he-she who wins the next Presidency is just a party apparachik mouthpiece for its owners, nothing more nothing less. The President is dead and is never coming back, everything we see here is all theatre and that's why the USSA NEEDS THE TRUMPNADO.
Go ahead and build yourself a billion dollar skyscraper in the best location in Chicago and have everyone call you a "joke."
Suits me just fine DES MOINES IOWA.
Being a billionaire certainly made Bloomberg right about everything.
Bloomberg. He couldn't even keep the streets of New York clean of a snow. Too busy banning Big Gulps to care
Next....
He also banned transfat use by eating establishments. What a piece of shit, and the city council that voided the two term limit, just for his ProgPig ass. Hate that fcker too. So many on the "List."
exactly
NihilistZero,,,
My friend that was one of your better posts.........+12320
the switch
Agreed. And, as someone who worked for the man in the early 2000's, he is very good at making a small thing a great spectacle. I am long popcorn for the next year. Unless they put him down for upseting the delicate balance that is the US election for teleprompter reader in chief.
Great recap indeed.
He is such a breath of fresh air to all the pandering and whining that passes for statesmanship in the rest of the Republican clown car.
But in the end my money is on Walker
Trump for prezzident!! Anything but another libfucktard!
Twilight Zone - I swear we are living it. I can remember just last election republicans laughing their asses off at Donald. Hard times I guess.
I wish Donald would somehow collapse both parties. What a day that would make.
We can always dream! He's got the money to run as a 3rd candidate .... would that be just beautiousfllywonderfull!
"Hill, I sense a great disturbance in the Force"
If Donnie would step away from the party system, I just might listen to what he has to say. until then he is playing his part. I know there is some hard core republicans who refuse to see the fraud of both parties. I will say it again - Donnie is following script just like Ronnie.We all know it will be Bush versus Clinton. People refuse to believe we have a ceasar which is nothing but certain bloodlines who are in power.
I dont expect Trump to step out of the R ticket after the way the Ross Perot deal went down. Perot ran independant on his own money and split the R votes. We got slick willie as the consolation prize.
Go Trump Go
This is actually kinda how Hitler came to power, by smashing up the political scene with truth bombs that the status quo refused to take seriously until it was too late. Trump's massive success is actually a very dangerous signal that our journey from syndicalist fascism to naked totalitarianism is almost complete.
Wow, Zero Hedge is falling for an egomanical, sociopathic politician. I guess it's okay to join the personality cult if he's GOP.
i know its crazy...
"THIS SHITSHOW BROUGHT TO YOU FROM OUR PROUD SPONSORS - THE MONEYCHANGERS..."
Who gives a flying fuck if he is GOP or demi? Trump tells the truth, thats all I care about. People are so fucking weak these days they want to be lied to just to make it through the day. 'Tell me everything is ok, and roses and sweet smelling farts and all that bullshit" Get some common sense and stop being swayed by the media and advertising. The first thing Tony Robbins tells you in his walk of fire class is how much money big companies spend on advertising. Why, because most of us are suckers and want to feel good. Learn how to make yourself feel good. Good god we are in trouble.
ZH has been overrun with people who refuse to awaken. The recent bans of posters who try and show the issues at hand, has proved the Tylers are only interested in clickbait. They worship the dollar although preach against it. Reminds you of something doesn't it.

roisaber,
Seems like in the last week or so, the 'tards have come out in full force. Fuckin' 'tards don't seem to have a rational (or otherwise) retort, either- they just reddie and run away.
BTW, I'm a political agnostic.
I'll gladly raise my hand for the roman salute and report dissidents if it means a country free of rampant immigration, extreme vested interests and a rigged casino-styled market.
That said, i'd still prefer to give my vote to Putin, he has a proven record for all of the above, minus the roman salute.
"I'll gladly raise my hand for the roman salute and report dissidents if it means a country free of rampant immigration, extreme vested interests and a rigged casino-styled market."
Unfortunately, history's examples suggest to us that a lot of totalitarian movements start in exactly the way you just described.
I simply don't trust Trump, any more than any of the other loonies. And the suggestion of deporting 10 million Mexicans who are here by fait accompli is fucking dangerous. The way to get rid of Mexicans is to end the drug war and stop fucking with Mexico. Than people who want to be Mexicans will be able to go home, the ones who stay will be the ones who want to be American, and the problem solves itself.
Roisaber
you're comments about the dangers of Trump being the harbinger for a far more dangerous demagogue in the future are 100% correct and the number of down votes you got from making a correct statement on ZH is quite alarming and would also indicate there is much danger ahead, if even the more elightened that inhabit ZH can't see this either.
Jeb Bush would make an excellent Nazi.
Sure -- the rest of his clan did.
And so did the Patriarch of the Kennedy clan.
So would Obama
The steaks have never been higher
I only like Trump because he's not a collectivist.
All the rest are bellhops for the CFR.
Has Squrrelbonnet been to Bilderberger's?
Trump is "steaking" [sp] his claim, and the .gov D.C. shills are pooping their Underoos.
He's not a career politician, he drives the establisment crazy and has balls of steel. What's not to like?
f the rinos, f the register & f the gopers. The rest of the demonrats can litteral jump off the cliff or go PP for maceration
I can just hear him now; "Go ahead. Burn your own fucking neighborhood down. See if I care."
oh haha knukle, you hit it on nose..
The only thing which makes sense to me is that he's helping out his buddies the Clinton Clan by disrupting the GOP process of finding a nominee. What Hill & Co need to actually worry about is Bernie Sanders who ala Ross Perot could end up on the ballot as an independent stealing votes from the Dem side of the ledger. Regardless who or what it is we still get the same result and nothing will change (What happened to Barry's "Hope and Change"? - like that could ever happen!) and the money will continue to control.
Disagree. sanders role is to deliver Progtards to Hillary
Trump is a secret democrat and this whole thing is the longest running gag of all time.
And he may be, but he may also be setting a fire that neither Hillary or Jeb can put out. Half the country doesn't or hasn't yet voted. This is something that neither party has considered. If it weren't for false hope I would have no hope at all.
He gave to Hillary's "Foundation". Nuff said
We should have a contest to see who the donald will insult next. My vote is, he'll get on the school lunch subject and call Moochell a Wookie.
LOL If he did that it would be a bloody landslide! Ah, all the racial enmity sewn by the liberals would come right back to haunt them.
He's going to take out Jeb and the Bush family on silver spoon stuff.
Right
Coke spoon
all that matters is - what does the Republican Jewish Coalition think?
http://www.rjchq.org/
If you recall, they didn't think RP was sufficiently in thrall to Israel, so even though he was a top 4, or even 3 candidate, they just didn't allow him on their debate.
You know - the only debate sponsored by an ethnic or religious group... the only one that was sponsored by the agent of a foreign power.

Remember the Liberty
If we are provided an opportunity to change our direction and we instead sit on our hands and do nothing while lamenting end of times, then we damned well deserve what we get.
The main thing that most successful people do is seize the opportunity, which requires recognizing an opportunity when it arises. If we are to wait until being told when that is, we might as well take our investing advise from Corzine.
There's a good lesson in all this Trump hoopla:
If you have the stomach to stand your ground and not be imtimidated into apologizing, backpedaling or otherise cowing to Political-Correctness, you can actually win...
The more the pols and power broker wannabes rail against the Donald - the MORE I support him. When you piss off the establishment - then you're doing everything right. Maybe - just maybe - a bigger number than many realized - are truly completley fed up with the status quo. Look where it's gotten most people - NO WHERE!
TRUMP 2016!!!!!
actually, he did start the non commercial INTERNET2 (I2) for schools, Universities, hospitals to hook up to with out all the garbage wasting BW; I2 TOTALLY separate from what we are using now;
I did a paper on it in college
I'd like to see how an inanimate carbon rod would poll against Santorum or Perry.
Whats al gore got to do with this?
Hey now! Al Gore invented the internet. Don't be so hard on him... ;)
I love him shaming these SOBs, they spend millions on parades thanking the troops while troops die because they cannot get in to see a quack er doctor, they deny them access to medical pot to ease their pain, why, becasue they are in big pharmas pay....I sincerely hope they burn in hell for a long time...no virgins for you...
"... a vote for Trump is not "a vote for Trump" but a vote against America's broken political system..."
Sums it up quite well,I think.
amen
Glad to see everyone of those do nothing cunt RINO's squirm like a little girl. Fuck every one of them and the demoncrats too. Fuck You Obama Fuck you Yellen and Fuck You Paulson
You forgot "Fuck You Hitlery Clintong"
Trust in any candidate is an opiate.
He should pick Howard Stern as his Veep!
He should not pick Howard Stern as his veep.
There, fixed it for you.
Then after he wins he should appoint his wife secretary of state, and get a few of his kids gov jobs as well. This could go on longer than the bush/clinton families.
Perhaps the Des Moines Register should instead withdraw from this nation and journalism. Though I suspect they withdrew from the latter many years ago.
Perhaps the Des Moines Red Star.....
FTFY
Imagine what a Rand Paul is thinking right now... All that careful political footwork and meticulousness not to 'offend' anyone (or any special $lobbying group), and here comes a guy (farce or not), who lets fly what most reasonably minded Americans 'secretly' think but will not utter, and mows down the field in the process... That's gotta royally Suck...
Rand Paul grovelled Nutty Yahoo. He is a phony
Check out Paul's kow towing to Mitch McConnell.
He don't have the bucks.
He needs "friends"
Trump already has all the friends he needs.
This is AMerikka's attempt at a Silent Revolution.
Calling for his withdrawal is so weak. They just don't get it.
Them: "Oh dear, just go away you nasty man!"
They're so stupid to do this. And weak.
...and thats the reason they lost to a affirmative action educated, community organizer ....twice. GO TRUMP !
Lets get some action going... lets here Yellen's commenst on this...everybody else is condemning Donald so he must be right .... or at least less wrong!
Fuck the GOP - they didn't listen to their constituents so we won't listen to them.
Trump's Theater. And Hillary's Playhouse.
Not Shakespeare, and only tragic if you believe any of it.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
Don't be a chump and believe the rump Trump is on the stump. (I'm a poet! Just no a rock throw 'et!)
So, at that, are you demanding or submitting?
Good grief America! Don't you know the media is supposed to make that choice for you?
Of course, of course. This is just all part of the illusion for the commonfolk, it's early, none of this will be remembered a year from now when Jeb is headed for the nomination and we are all saying (again) and that we live in an Oligarchy.
What choice? It's the OnePartyMedia organ for State.
And Fuck Lindsey Graham. That closet faggot wants to send everyone's kids off to war while he plays hide the weenie with McSimpleton? Fuck you Graham. Everytime I see your ugly face I lose respect for South Carolina
Last thing on Earth this country needs is an all Jewish cabinet

Hava Nagila bitches!
The more mainstream media and government hacks call for Trump unqualified, the more people will support Trump.
And people have a point. Which would be better, Bozo the Clown (Trump) or anyone from the pack of Velociraptors (existing politicians)? Obviously Trump would be a disaster, but even more obviously he is unlikely to be worse than Clinton, Bush or anyone else in the "official" lineup.
I guess this is what eventually happens when the predators-that-be jigger the system so people never have a choice, only false alternatives.
As I have said before ... Trump is a foil. He is a big government statist who says: "I can run big government better that the other guys".
He is in it for the Buzz and the Platform. He is a lightning rod for Hillary, always a friend of the Clintons, donating to her Senate and Presidential campaigns as well as Bill's. He has donated millions to the Clinton Foundation and his ultimate goal is to run a third party campaign after he loses the Republican nomination.
Since Trump entered the fray, the media no longer needs to cover HRC, they get much more buzz and clicks with Donald.
He will guarantee HRC in DC for eight years ... enjoy all you Trump fans.
There are fifteen other candidates, as soon as one differentiates themselves and is willing to take on not only Reed and Pelosi but also Boehner, McConnell, Paul Ryan and John McCain then I will easily switch my vote. Carly would be great but the MSM have buried her
I haven't read anything in her background that suggests she's anything but a Prog.

I'm not sure that even Rand Paul would do much to rein in the State.
