The GOP's Nightmare Is Coming True: With Jeb Out Of Cash, Insiders Say Trump Nomination Almost Certain
Three months ago we revealed what was the GOP's biggest nightmare: Donald Trump dominating the polls, which he did from the first days in the GOP presidential primary.
Since then, Trump's ascent has only gotten steeper, forcing one after another political "expert", talking head and pundit (it is unclear if the Huffington Post still covers Trump in its Entertainment section) to throw in the towel, and admit they have no idea how to read the American public.
Things only got worse for the GOP faithful when it was revealed that the man who was considered a frontrunner for the primary post, Jeb Bush, now appears to have run out of money. Earlier today Politico reported that Jeb Bush ordered across-the-board pay cuts to his struggling presidential campaign and warned staff that job functions would change.
On a Friday conference call, top officials said resources would shift heavily to ballot access and voter contact. One person on the Friday morning staff call said they were left with the impression that "very few people will be left in Miami." Although campaign officials insisted they're still in strong shape, the moves — combined with Bush's stagnant poll numbers, despite millions having been spent by his Right to Rise super PAC on television ads over the last month — suggest otherwise.
The reason for what may be a surprising and premature end to Jeb's campaign: his fundraisers have given up. According to the WSJ reports, "the family’s vaunted financial network is mostly disengaged and splintered—and his campaign stock is falling."
The one-time front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination is roughly tied for third place among GOP contenders in campaign cash and has fallen to fourth or fifth place in national polls, including the latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey. His crowds are modest. He failed to dominate in either of the GOP debates, and million-dollar ad buys in Iowa and New Hampshire have barely moved the needle on his support in the early-contest states.
“Jeb’s just blended into the second tier of the Republican pack,” said Doug Corn, an Ohio-based financial adviser and top fundraiser for George W. Bush who hasn’t donated to a candidate this year. “When you run for president, you have to be very charismatic, you have to articulate extremely well and you have to show unbelievable amounts of passion.”
But while Jeb may be lacking in charisma, there is one candidates who oozes it.
And with Trump seemingly able to absorb any and everything the media will throw at him, and actually thrives on it, and his teflon popularity rising week after week, not only have the naysayers given up, but far more importantly, the odds that Donald Trump wins the Republican presidential nomination are going up. Actually, make that soaring.
According to Politico, 81% of Republican insiders say the likelihood that Trump becomes their party’s nominee is more today than it was a month ago, and 79 percent of Democrats said the same. That’s according to the Politico caucus - a weekly bipartisan survey of top strategists, operatives and activists in the early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
Some, such as this bitter, livid Iowa Republican, appear to have moved on beyond the anger and bargaining stage, and reached acceptance. "I can't even describe the lunacy of him as our nominee. But reason has not applied to date in this race, and my hopes are fleeting that it will ever surface." Lamented the Iowa Republican, who like all participants was granted anonymity in order to speak freely. If he thinks reason died in the race, he should come see what is going on in the so-called "markets"...
Others pile on:
"Predictions of his demise keep not coming true,” said a New Hampshire Republican.
"Donald Trump being the GOP nominee is now within the realm of possibility," asserted a South Carolina Republican.
“Maybe, just maybe, Trump wins an early contest or two. That will trigger a much stronger Stop Trump movement,” a New Hampshire Republican said. “The party will nominate Bob Dole — in 2016 —before it will nominate Trump. And a Trump nomination would result in a third candidate emerging.”
“The summer of Trump has lasted longer than conventional wisdom suggested it would,” a South Carolina Republican said. “It's going to take a sustained, multi-pronged paid media effort to educate voters that Trump is not a conservative and has flip-flopped on practically every issue. Major donors are quickly getting to the place where they are ready to fund such an effort." That's odd, because many say the same (but inverse) about Hillary: she is not a progressive but is in fact a conservative - perhaps this is the first presidential election in which a Democrat pretends to be a Republican and vice versa.
"Numbers are numbers and you have to give them credence. I remain skeptical that he has the ability to turn people out, come primary day, but I [have] been wrong about this campaign every step of the way so far", added a New Hampshire Republican, who like all participants responded via an online survey.
Yes, yes, we get it - everyone hates Trump, everyone was certain he would be crushed by now, and everyone was wrong precisely for those reasons.
And just as it was cool to bash Trump three months ago, suddenly it has become all too hip to predict his success: it is amusing how "experts" have become the laughing stock themselves, exposed as nothing more than clueless windsocks .
To be sure, not everyone is a hater:
- “I think he's now mounting a serious campaign,” a South Carolina Republican said. “His stump speech had matured and even though the novelty of his candidacy is wearing off, his straight talk is appealing to people who are so sick of being lied to by the political class.”
- Another Iowa Republican agreed, saying, “The more time that goes by that he continues to lead — the more likely it is he wins. That simple. Also, comparatively, he is building a real campaign. More so than many others.”
- "Not sure why anyone should be so surprised that Trump's campaign is getting so serious in terms of infrastructure build-out,” a New Hampshire Democrat said. “Trump may be a jerk, but he is an extremely successful jerk. He has the means and the smarts to compete everywhere — and he is not slowing down.”
Politico continues:
Twenty-two percent of Caucus Republicans said Trump has a 50-50 shot at becoming the Republican nominee; the same percentage said he has a 30 percent chance. The rest of the respondents were divided, with the majority saying his odds are still less than 50 percent. But more than 8-in-10 GOP respondents said those are better odds than they gave Trump a month ago.
The results are notable because they represent a big shift in the thinking of POLITICO Caucus insiders, who this summer were deeply skeptical of Trump’s staying power.
“Trump will be among 3-4 finalists well into April; of that there is no doubt,” an Iowa Republican said.
But the punchline comes from this insider:
“I think he's now mounting a serious campaign,” a South Carolina Republican said. “His stump speech had matured and even though the novelty of his candidacy is wearing off, his straight talk is appealing to people who are so sick of being lied to by the political class.”
And that is how the biggest Republican nightmare is coming true, because the bolded is all that really matters: if Trump can appeal to the silent, but vast majority - and so far he is doing just that - that is wholeheartedly sick of the fake left-right divide which has made a mockery of representative government and is pandering only to select special interests who have hijacked the US government in the past century, not only is the Trump's nomination "looking more likely" but so is the Trump presidency.

Trump or Clinton on voting day; I'll be staying home, for the lessor of two evils is voting for evil.
The idea that JEB is somehow "out of money" is hillarious.

Jeb would'nt need much cash if he had some book smarts, now it's money talks and bullshit walks.
Carson and Trump have left the crowd behind.
Not over yet: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_republican_presidential_nomination-3823.html
Hope... and change
Only one thing left to happen to make the next election near perfect:
Dipshit Democrats (Progressive Puppets) heads explode.
http://sploid.gizmodo.com/how-they-made-the-most-famous-exploding-head-i...
It's beginning to look like one down (Jeb) and one cackling cankled old sea hag to go.
My only advise to Jeb is to start a write in campaign and hope the electorate sees the error of their ways.
Either that or have Daddy Warbucks start handing out bags of crack, meth, molly and heroin with the Bush name stamped on them.
You caught that, right? "Jeb out of cash?" Like, can't compete any more? Jeb, of the family which is so close to the money printers. Out of "money."
Jeb's broke. Can't toss more ads out there. "Darn. I wish I had one more shekel."
What? There's an election? I thought that the Bilderbergers just appointed puppet dicktasters.
What I love about Trump is that he's turning things upside down. I don't necessarily agree with everything he stands for but he's the only one I see who's saying "F*ck the establisment". That right there get's my vote.
I have never considered myself a Trump kind of guy, but upon reflection..
He is probably the only guy on the planet who could out-weasel the Clintons.
He could probably cut a good deal with Putin and Xi.
I think he would fire many in State, “Justice” and elsewhere who need to be fired.
He is for immigration control.
Now I have a dilemma.
(And he needs to steer clear of grassy knolls.)
>I AM MOVING TO SWEDEN WHERE PEOPLE HAVE AN ACTUAL BRIAN IN THEIR HEADS!
I have to ask, are you Sunni or Shia? I have bumped into several people on the interweb that use the NIC Publicus... To a person, they are all asshats... Either you get around or there is a machine cranking out clones of you idiots...
"Republicans are evil backwards racist and this is a mordern america"
I'm no Republican (anymore) but he is free to be a trannie in his "modern america".
They fit well in Sweden, too.
..and if he needs an “actual BRIAN” in his head, well, Graham Chapman, (the Python) was a little light in the loafers so to speak.
Well, If Trump is going to be president, maybe JEB! can be vice president.
<wink> <wink>
No, no...I'm telling you people...Trump/Sanders 2016 is the dream ticket for this theater.
Screw the MSM....including that blonde bitch on FOX.
Myron C Fagan had it figured out in 1967....and you're all playing catchup now.

Jug must have been watching Life of Brian and got confused.
Sweden? Europe rape central for the ethnically diverse...ragheads, that is.
Reminds me of the Judean People's Front suicide squad! :)
Trump will be financially or physically suicided. He is not gonna make it.
none other than Dana Perino predicted that before he officially announced a couple of months ago. It's all about George P.
Trump is the establishment, idiot.
The problem with the Republican party is that it doesn’t stand for anything. So it desperately needs the the far right of the American spectrum, such as the evangelicals and all the nonsense that comes with.
Now there’s chance that a Fox from New York could be their presidential nominee.
Hillary and Bill will be being having multiple orgasm till election day if Trump is in.
Can’t see how the hillbillies will be voting for a trump.

You're always so far off base because of your leftist opinion of the world.
We know Chomsky here very well. He's a fucking joke.
"We know Chomsky here very well. He's a fucking joke. "
You are stuck in the brainwash of left right politics. You've been here a long time, me too. It took me several years to even register here.... but disparaging another by telling them what "We know... here" is just stupid. I'm "we" as much as you.
It just stings that he has a point....

Let's all feign surprise that the right-wingers don't like the guy who calls them out as lapdogs useful only for implementing neocon wetdreams of empire.
The Trump race is just like one of his casino deals. Last quarter he raised $3.5 million of which just over $100,000 was his own money. Then he spent over $700,000 on private plane rides (paid to a Trump owned company) and over $500,000 paid to other Trump owned entities. And the chumps who donate, just like the chumps who get into biz deals with him get scr*wed. Welcome to Donald's world.

By Kevin D. Williamson: Trump brings out two of the Right’s worst tendencies: the inability to distinguish between entertainers and political leaders, and the habit of treating politics as an exercise in emotional vindication.

That's exactly what got Obama elected.....and now we totally reject it.
Got anything else?
Obama 08 campaign is listed as a color revolution.
I had a great laugh when I looked up color revolutions and they were all listed by year and there it was in 08.
hahahaha
Anyone who still sees "left vs. right" as an ideological debate instead of the oldest trick in the book: "divide and conquer" deserves to be rounded up and interned.
Step over here and board the red bus
Step over here and board the blue bus
They are going to the same camp.
King Arthur: Well, we all are. we are all Britons. And I am your king. Woman: I didn’t know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.Dennis: You’re foolin’ yourself! We’re living in a dictatorship.
Whigga, please. The Pugnicants are in disarray because, for the first time in two centuries, they've got two sets of opinions to deal with instead of the monoculture they're used to having goosestep behind them in unison.
hillbillies voted for bush. they could vote for trump.
he is the establishment as are obama and clinton.
to think the democratic party stands for something significantly better than the republican after the obama administration is to be delusional.
no bankster prosecuted. constant proliferation of war. 300,000 dead in syria and a million more homeless because they don't "like" assad.
noam chomsky is a zionist for all practical purposes. he doesn't even see the danger when it is at his throat.
Bush is a hillbilly. He’s just not as vulgar as a hillbilly. And he dresses better. But everything else is pretty much the same, for one’s that’s paying attention.
you are typical left, you want to choose both candidates.
stick with your Hillary and leave the other party alone.
I know that is impossible for the left to leave anything alone, but try it.
Ohh boy.
Hillary is a dangerous as Trump, because financialization will not be able to slow our dying industrial age.
So, either one will try to take by force.
The differences are not ideological. It’s just that Republicans are more vulgar at the process.
Let me give you a quick example: Clinton Doctrine: unilateral force for access to resources
Consider the first scholarly work on the roots of George W. Bush's preventive war doctrine, issued in September 2002 by the distinguished Yale historian John Lewis Gaddis. The core principle of the Bush doctrine is that "expansion, we have assumed, is th path to security." Gaddis traces this doctrine to the "lofty, idealistic tradition of John Quincy Adams and Woodrow Wilson."
The Clinton doctrine, presented to Congress, was that the United States is entitled to resort to "unilateral use of military power" to ensure "uninhabited access to key markets, energy supplies and strategic resources." Clinton too was echoing a familiar theme. In the early post-World War II years, the influential planner George Kennan explained that in Latin America "the protection of our raw materials" must be a major concern--"our raw materials," which happen by accident to be somewhere else.

That is exactly why I support him. He's the closest you're gonna get to telling the "establishment" to fuck off.
However, I believe Post Presidency, Trump will be much richer leaving than when he goes into the White House. Think Silvio Berlusconi, former Premier of Italy.
Trump, the art of a con
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G59mNNfLZx8
Nailed it.
Unless he decides to bankrupt the US, form a new country, and buyout the smoking crater he's left behind again.
Or is Trump a "decoy" to measure opinion and create platforms for when the "real" game starts? I wish I knew.
All "Jeb out of money" means to me is that he was never the one anointed by the oligarchs / cartel's anyway. They do not "run out of money" they print it.
Everybody wants an election so they can vote for another Bush. Any Bush. A n y frikken B u s h, Every God Damn B u s h.
The Bush family must have hundreds of billions worth of drug money salted away in 10 layers worth of offshore holding companies. It is a little surprising they haven't liberated any of it in support of Jeb. On the other hand, there is nothing more odious to the Bush family patriarch than the stench of a loser, and Jeb wears it like a cheap cologne.
there is nothing more odious to the Bush family patriarch than the stench of a loser, and Jeb wears it like a cheap cologne.
lol. As if his brother was actually a patriot "winner". He certainly was a winning traitor.
no. not as if his brother was a patriot winner (could his first election have been less convincing? he lost by a million votes). but he did win, finally, calling in all the supreme court chits available. and he got 9-11 done (or let the "adults", cheney, rumsfeld, silverstein, wolfowitz, zakheim, etc. get it done) and was relected.
the patriarch didn't even win reelection but helped manage the jfk assassination and very efficiently and profitably ran drugs and guns for the cia, managing the ongoing u.s.war crime that has been latin america since the spanish american war. and pardoned the perps when rags and tags of it became too public. they called george h. w. bush a wimp and he certainly seemed one. but he was a killer.
what jeb lacks, imo, is the killer instinct.
Bush family must have hundreds of billions worth of drug money salted away
Family meeting this weekend.
Daddy.....can I have some drug money?
You gotta wonder what turned a brave pilot into such a cowardly and inconsequential thug in chief.
Traitors & War Criminals
Look at the function of the VP right up to Cheney. Then what Cheney did (the stuff we know about anyway). And now. It has reverted back.
Bush Sr is a pedophile. This was all brought out in the Franklin Coverup.
It is so horrific that the American people turned their heads away.
Same as has been done with pedophile Dennis Hassert.
No wonder we like Putin, this country is an evil den of filth.
The public is either evil or stupid, not much in between.
Why I love my dog more each day.
It's Donald or servitude to the omnipotent and omniscient mind of her queenness.
At this point what difference does it make?
It's not hard to believe. George Herbert Walker with the whole Bush clan came back from Saudi Arabia in 1993 with a shit load of bribery/trinkgeld from the Saudi monarch.
But look what he had to do with it. A year later in 1994 the House of Representitives went Republican for the first time in 40 years. That wasn't cheap.
In 1995 he bought his worthless son the governorship of Texas. That wasn't cheap either.
Then there was Jeb taking the Florida State House in 1999. Ditto.
Finally, the worthless and soon to be outed alcoholic son, had to win a national primary and national election. The Saudi Arabian trove was almost gone.
And G.H.W Bush had to save some money for himself to go skydiving and show America what a nice guy he was.
Never mind that he is more responsible for how Fucked Up the world is today than anyone else, living or dead.
One word:
ARBUSTO.
A second word:
SILVERADO
LINCOLN S&L etc. Chump change compared to 2008
More responsible than Wilson, FDR and LBJ? You've got shit for brains! (apologies to useful feces everywhere)
You did it right...you billed Wilson first.
You'll get kudos when you visit the lodge this weekend.
If Trump gets the nomination and Jeb goes third party or write-in, Hillary wins in a cakewalk (assuming she gets the nomination and isn't indicted).
Trump is beating Jeb like a gong head to head. Now you want to saddle him with all the expense and hassle of organizing a third-party effort, while expecting him to do better struggling with that burden? Third-party candidacies are for upstarts like Trump, not boring party hacks like Jeb.
Trump is a fucking genius for signing that pledge NOT to run third-party-- the pledge that everyone else was forced to sign as well. He has so thoroughly outmaneuvered and outclassed Jeb that it brings tears of joy to my eyes.
The Bushes, Clintons, Obama are all the same Deep State stooges.
No. There not.
They're different Deep State stooges.
Buckaroo, I aid if JEB goes third party or write-in, he'll steal votes from Trump and that gives Clinton the White House. There's no way Trump can win in November, 2016 if Jeb splits the Republican votes.
Jeb goes 3rd party......he'll get maybe 2%.
Absolutely no one cares about Jeb.
And Jeb....if you're listening....speak freakin English.
Trump is a media expert.
He knows the sheeple only read headlines, so he tweets headlines for them.
He fights the media and wins.
If you hate the left then Trump is your guy, payback for the past decade.
People looking for a top down solution: Fuktards.
People who ask others to save them from their own problems: Fuktards.
People expecting a choice of president to make a difference: Fuktards.
Trump supporters: Fuktards..
People who understand a bottom up solution is the only way: PRICELESS.
Are you kidding?
Bottom up is finished, only works if they want it to work.
There are no rules, no paper laws. Nobody can stop these guys anymore.
Military force is the only thing that can.
I think you are in denial as to how far gone things really are.
They blew a sitting presidents head off in plain sight, they blew up the world trade center, they fake mass shootings with actors.
And these things the brainwashed reject because it proves how far gone it really is.
You forgot something in your rant:
CLINTON supporters: Fuktards
there fixed it for ya.
Molly?
I haven't tried that yet.
Deez Nutts has been a 'second half' comeback kinda guy all his life so it's no surprise he's not up there near the top at this early stage.
I kinda liked that Deez Nutts dude. I'm gonna listen to some Snoop Dogg in honor of ole' Deez Nutts. I took his # success as a sign of the masses finally stating to get the tragic comedy that is our country.
<pours a sip of a 40oz. on the corner for his nigger Deez>
End scene.
As far as contempoary political "philosophy" goes, progressivism on the coked-up horny left and homeland security on the drunken, greedy right have both been recognizably revealed to be simply featherbedding maneuvers made for the bullshit benefit of a burgeoning class of so many American political bums. This talk of the personal destiny of politicians fulfilling their dynastic dreams of inheritance is distinctly unAmerican.
The refinement of an American progressive always involved leaning further and further toward world government, to wit, the League of Nations, the United Nations, the Peace Corps, etc. And the paranoia-divining appeal of the homeland security tin drum bangers on the right have the same uninspired vision in mind, if one more atuned to expanding the world's most powerfully dominant security apparatus.
There's no such thing as a no nonsense candidate. So, we get nothing but nonsense in ever greater manifestation.
It's the ever expanding bureaucratic featherbedding that is currently driving American outrage. And all the candidates should spend a good deal of time demonstrating to the electorate that they understand the many different manifestations of featherbedding that are making the electorate so angry.
Americans are going to vote. And this election, it looks like they are going to vote for a candidate, and not simply against another.
Personally, I'd settle for shooting all the fucking featherbedders.
You need to say this moresuccinctly
and less verbose.
Cut the kid some slack....it's a work in progress(ivism).
"Dipshit Democrats (Progressive Puppets) heads explode"
That would be easy to do. Put both Trump and Carson on the same ticket. The RNC's head would explode as well.
Now there’s a thought.
Carson to be the calming influence and add color to boot.
Trump might tire of the game after a term and then hand it over to the Doctor.
I love the smell of RNC brains all over the place in the morning,
Bush can't even run a fucking campaign budget yet he wants to run the nation's budget? Fucking loser. Not so easy to do when you can't tax everyone or print fiat out of thin air to get the money you want, right ya fucker???
Distracted, lost, he stumbles into the side door of a theater.
The laugh track is deafening, 160, 170 decibles. The kabuki players writhe in pain on the stage clutching their heads, punching themselves in the head furiously. Too late! Their heads explode with pieces of skull flying like shrapnel, brains and blood splattering all over the theater coating the audience in a revolting gore.
He rushes for the exit, outside, he is free of the madness. He walks around to the front of the theater and glances at the marquee. "The American Political System" is displayed there.
Uh-oh, So I won't be able to use the "It's the president!" as an excuse anymore?
Laugh Track Deafening
+1000, nice find!
The "nation" does not have a budget.
The Professional Political class does not seem to understand we wnat NO More Shrubs.
Hope and change 2.0, indeed. I'm not voting for any of these morons, especially a trust-fund baby who barely kept up with standard growth metrics in real estate and the S&P with all his "deals". He should have bought Apple or Adobe stock, instead. Idiocracy, here we come!
Don't associate Carson in the same league as Trump. Carson is pro illegal amnesty which is the same as open border and also needs DONORS for his campaign just like all the other candidates. I don't trust anyone who needs donors because they are suceptible to giving favor to their donors as payback. Also Carson with his timid persona cannot be trusted to win a negotiation with the likes of Putin and Xi Jinping, not even with Mexico. Yeah, he talks straight but he doesn't have any idea on how to do business and succeed. This country with it's $19 trillion debt and high real unemployment and no manufacturing capability because all has been outsourced don't need a soft spoken surgeon as a leader because if we do then all the surgeons in the military should be in command of combat and logistics because they make good leaders.

Did you know that Donald makes deals? That's right, he's famous for it. He brags about it all the time. And when you make a deal there is quid pro quo. In order for Donald to get what he wants out of a deal he has to give something in return.
Trump's a businessman. He doesn't NEED your money but he's sure as shìt happy to TAKE your money.
"Carson with his timid persona"
Don't mix quiet tone with timid persona. He does not seem timid at all with expressing what he believes.
Although I don't vote any longer and never will again lend my support to the system which beats me daily....
I have to agree with you. Carson is a neuro surgeon...aka he cuts up people's skulls and operates on their brains...not exactly something for someone without a steady hand and keen intellect.
and you are going to change the system how...by letting the Clintons back in? It is ok to pick the lesser of two evils...one is definitely more evil
"This country with it's $19 trillion debt..."
Yes, we need the candidate with the most bankrupcy experience to finally end this debt financed farce. And who better than Mr Debt and bankrupcy king himself, the fascist narcissist Trump. The answer to fascist narcissist dictators like Putin and Xi isn't one of our own!
Quit depending on politicians and "leaders" to solve your problems.
Carson is pro MANDATORY vaccination when we know that vaccinations are causing all kinds of diseases not only in humans but in animals as well.
Carson=Big Pharma
Are you sayin' that good 'ole JEB! ain't much for fancy book learnin'?!
Yeb! is laying off staff and cuting salaries. And his poll numbers are sinking. That can only mean one thing -- Trump is finally crashing and is about to drop out.
Yeb!
What JEB needs is street smarts. Too bad for him, they aren't for sale, and he does not have time to learn them.
Say what you want about Trump, the man is a fuking genius. He has outmanuevered all the political favorite sons and done it in a totally uncoventional manner while spending a fraction of what the other candidates have. He is probably also the only one on the GOP side who can beat Hillary because he will not pull his punches.
On the flip side, Trump better watch his six. Would not be at all surprised if he was assassinated.
What happens when Donald puts Americans into a single payer, government run health care system as he promised to do last month? If he's the man you says he is he'll get it accomplished far more easily than Hillary ever could have done. Is that a good thing?
Trump Pushes Single Payer Healthcare
Donald Trump: Obamacare’s going to be repealed and replaced. Obamacare is a disaster if you look at what’s going on with premiums where they’re up 40, 50, 55 percent.
Scott Pelley: How do you fix it?
Donald Trump: There’s many different ways, by the way. Everybody’s got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, “No, no, the lower 25 percent that can’t afford private. But–”
Scott Pelley: Universal health care.
Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I don’t care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody’s going to be taken care of much better than they’re taken care of now.
Scott Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of. How? How?
Donald Trump: They’re going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probably–
Scott Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it?
Donald Trump: –the government’s gonna pay for it. But we’re going to save so much money on the other side. But for the most it’s going to be a private plan and people are going to be able to go out and negotiate great plans with lots of different competition with lots of competitors with great companies and they can have their doctors, they can have plans, they can have everything.

Somehow, I'm not worried that Trump is going to spend a single minute crafting legislation of any sort.

...the government’s gonna pay for it. But we’re going to save so much money on the other side.
Elections and the US govt top to bottom are a joke including state and local govts. It is all corrupt.
If Trump thinks the govt can do a better job or HMOs can also do it then he is dreaming.
He talks about how he is going to "take care" of all the vets. The VA's budget grew by like 10X in a decade. It went from $10 billion to $100 billion and the care got worse.
Endless stupid wars for MIC, Deep State, corprations, banksters. Endless insanity and corruption.
Fire people. That is how you clean house, you start firing folks. Trump has done that for a few years now.
uh, you can't "fire" people in government jobs. good luck with that.
"I AM MOVING TO SWEDEN WHERE PEOPLE HAVE AN ACTUAL BRIAN IN THEIR HEADS!"

Why all the downvotes? I thought it was hilarious!!! Of course I don't live in the USA ;-)
I AM MOVING TO SWEDEN WHERE PEOPLE HAVE AN ACTUAL BRIAN IN THEIR HEADS!
Along with all those Syrians?
People are always looking for a savior besides themselves....because they are lazy and can not accept responsibility for their actions. Why anyone would want this idiot as a savior is beyond me.
Maybe if people realized that they can be responsible for themselves and their community these psychopath saviors would be hanging with the rest of the welfare queens.
Individualism. See G Edward Griffin.
RIPS
But he's got such YUGE hair.
It's YYYUUGGE.
I have this bad feeling about a President Trump... and an even worse feeling about the remainder of the Rs and Ds.
Say, I've heard this rumour that Vladimir Vladimirovich was actually born in Alaska, then taken as a child to grow up in Saint Petersburg.
"Say, I've heard this rumour that Vladimir Vladimirovich was actually born in Alaska, then taken as a child to grow up in Saint Petersburg."
Alaska did not become a state until 1959, before it became a state it was a 'Military District'.
Is someone born in a military district considered a citizen of the U.S.?
Yes. You can be born to parents serving overseas on a Military Base and you are a citizen of the USA.
(My ex wife was born in Weisbaden, Germany, where her father was serving.).
There's not a single candidate I think is qualified to be president. Because I think the national budget is a lost cause no matter who wins (because Congress will never actually cut any of the fat out of the budget, including a minimum of half of the Defense Department), I'm not even addressing that here.
My three big issues for any candidate are:
1. Are you going to actually TRY to dismantle the national security apparatus or are you just going to give lip servie to it?
2. Are you going to end this cycle of endless war that the US has gotten into and even accelerated in the past 30 years?
3. Do you have a comprehensive program that actually will work regarding border security? What are you proposing to do with the estimated 40 million illegals presently in the country?
So far, on my three issues, Senator Sanders and Senator Paul seem to be the only candidates that want to do anything other than spy more. Senator Sanders seems to be the only one against endless war. All of the Republicans seem to be in favor of starting more wars. And I think Secretary Clinton would defintely use the Clinton playbook to start wars when (not if, but when) her hand was caught doing something illegal and/or unethical. And as far as I can tell, no one has a coprehensive program that can work on border security and the 40 million illegal immigrants.
Talking about the budget for just a second, none of the declared candidates have a clue as to what to do about the budget. I have no doubt that most of them would make the deficit even larger through no other reason than just sheer stupidity.
I think the root of many problems that exist are monetary related. I think you need to add a fourth point about our debt based rehypothecated federal reserve system and what it would take to dismantle that. It's quite an amazing thing, year after year, decade after decade, of this chirade we call our monetary policy can't be unwound in one presidential term, but the candidate should be able to understand conceptually and express general ideas on how to unravel it. Yeah, they'll get shot. But if no one has the clout to do so, then either we have two choices: 1) Ride it out until the whole thing blows up into a monetary supernova on a global scale or 2) each State needs to utilize the 10th amendment to neutralize federal policy on a State level.
Personally, I think it'd be better to have President Hillary, and hit the wall in eighteen months at 90 mph, than to elect a Rethuglican and hit the wall in three years at 55. YMMV.
agree....lets get the end over with or last least started. hillary will bring a faster collapse.
You got the D's and R's flipped...
"People are always looking for a savior besides themselves....because they are lazy and can not accept responsibility for their actions.(...) Maybe if people realized that they can be responsible for themselves and their community these psychopath saviors would be hanging with the rest of the welfare queens."
Yes. And while you are being individualistic, taking responsibility for yourself and all this sort of pretty things, your country is waging ceaseless wars on your tax-money, gobbling billions in defense programs that never see the light of day, outsourcing masses of jobs, running up a colossal debt YOU are supposed to pay back... should I carry on? A whole frigging book could be written on the gigantic shambles the USA has become.
So be as individualistic as you want, go by yourself to camp in the mountains, pat yourself in the back on how clever you are, and let the others try and vote themselves (and you) out of that dire unholy mess.
" ...let the others try and vote themselves (and you) out of that dire unholy mess."
Voting will fix everything, why didn't we think of that before?
Thanks. I needed a good laugh tonight.
"Voting will fix everything, why didn't we think of that before?

Yes, yes, we know, "Nothing will work, it's all Kabuki theater, a hall of mirrors, etc... we're not fooled, we can see their game for what it is, there is nothing we can do, it's all rigged" and so on and so forth.
Castration doesn't need surgical tools. Cynicism, sarcasm and distance will do a very clean job of it.
Suckered again by another guy telling them he's gonna "clean up Wall Street" and "Stir up Washington!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Yeah, Donald Trump is anti-Wall Street!!
At least Obama was semi believable when he said it, being a socialist and all. But anyone who thinks Donald Trump is against Wall street would probably believe Bush Sr. is against big oil.
A savior? You mean like Obama....or Hillary?
True, last of the Baby Boomer Political Animal Type Clownshow.
Their failure will be epic. (Of Course, that's the plan!) Disaster Capitalism.
The new Xr Animals in there now suck too. Ryan??? Please NO!
This will begin to change from the ground up I believe in 2017-18 on...
On the edge fightclub.
So we just ignore the FEDS and they'll go away?
Retire?
Spontaneous combustion?
Word on the street is that Psychopathic Diabolical Cunt Killery has more money in her war chest than all the puppet candidates combined. Plus the exact same Criminal donorers are on Criminal Jebs list as well.
Rumor has it that Jeb is so power hungry that he's considering a change of party and gender, and then he will run as Hillary's VP.
Like I said, it's only a rumor...
Behold Jebelita! (Ay chihuahua) They call "her" El Jebe, because nobody messes with the iron Bush.
Keeps her/his partner and runs as a lesbian.
Like "Dances with Wolves," only it's "Runs with Lesbians."
They would OWN the campaign support of the carpet cleaning industry!
He should take his wife and family and move to Mexico and run for President of that country.
They wouldn't vote for a gringo 'El Presidente' down there, but I'm sure their voting system is at least as corrupt as ours. That might be an option for the Jebster.
Rumor has it that Jeb is so power hungry that he's considering a change of party and gender,
Whoa.... what if......
Bill Clinton changed his gender and became another Kardashian? Could he/she/it be elected?
Hillary would never allow...she would be afraid that she would be 'offed' by the Bush/CIA/Nazi family so Jeb could take over.....
Don't try to Thump da Trump. It's like giving the Gremlins water after midnight. He jus' gets stronger.
Rumor has it that he's a Clinton plant, in order to divide the red-pill public. Makes sense... NOTE the quote in the article:
"... perhaps this is the first presidential election in which a Democrat pretends to be a Republican and vice versa"
If so, it's a symptom of the electoral farce just naturally showing its true colors. Remember Spy vs. Spy comic? It's Freudian, man. Most don't get it. Poll responders still don't have a clue, they just want a disrupter. The GOP complainers in the article are typical; they don't have a clue and need to try another pill.
She's head honcho on the war on men and women, got the most cocaine so she has the most support, drug test your politicians and she drops like a leaf on a tree.
"has more money in her war chest"
If it becomes Trump vs. Hiliary then a clear distinction will be provided to the voters:
Do you vote for the guy that knows how to buy the President
Or do you vote for the corrupt, amoral political whore who would and has sold out the country for pieces of silver.
Unfortunately I still think it would be a toss up.
Trump called and he said:
Your Fired!
Dude, you totally forgot the exclamation point: JEB!
I fixed that for you.
Hillary is now the chosen D candidate... so the D's can kiss my ass along with my 'lesser of evils' vote goodbye.

https://thinkpatriot.wordpress.com/2015/10/02/assume-you-are-being-played/
I haven't looked at Trump lately. Will go look, come back in a minute to note if anything has changed.
No. Just scan the headlines at news.google.com or most anywhere else. Is that a set of headlines driven by a serious campaign team? That is a set of headlines that are weakly driven by the candidates' activities, not by controlling the message, wroking a press corps.
I am going to add that to the 'Assume You Are Being Played'.
Later I add the thought that if it is obvious to the average engineer the kind of stories you expect of serious Presidential Candidates, why is nobody in MSM telling us? The great insiders who know all and share all? The slogan of the times, which they are careful to not tell us, is "played like an organ, played like a populace". Good title for a blog.
This could sprain your brain, careful.

It's pronounced Yeb. Trump will really be in trouble once Carly gets her next Botox injections. Her frozen face will scare the GOP into nominating her.
+1. Hamster, the Bush's have enough money to buy America, most obsurd ZH headline ever.
the Bush's have "access" to enough "Saudi" money to buy America,
You're too far into Happy hour to remember all your lines.
Now remember all airports are closed to all traffic, er, except for House of Saud.
nice if Obama sides with Putin and then just nuke Saudi and all the Bush money with it
It's been a few years since I stretched my fingers and brain, but through a series of offshore finance centers and holding companies, the majority shareholders in Northrop Grumman was the Bush family and James Baker, so he could tap them for some bucks?
As for the election, looks like either Landlord Trump (Trumpelstiltskin) or Wall Street Hillary.
But, if Landlord Trump wins, won't he be the first Swedish-American president?
And won't that indicate Ragnarök is close at hand?

Sarg:
If Trump gets in, maybe he could declare Swedish women refugees from the Muslim Invasion. Great ear warmers on a cold winter night.
I'll be more than happy to open up my humble home to 10, no 20, no lets make it 50 of these poor Swedish women in need of shelter in a cold cruel world.
Of course, any female over the age of 35 need not apply.
Well at least you would have the cleanest house in the state.
