He said McConnell lied, but then when asked to confirm, he kind of dodged the question instead of saying, I said he lied and he did lie, which is one of the reasons why nothing has changed even though Republicans won two elections in a row.

Ok, I stayed up to watch the repeat of the Kelly show, and I have to disagree with your assessment of Cruz. She tried like the dickens to pin him down about deporting the children of illegals, however he is correct that it will take a series of steps to achieve that goal.
Cruz has risked his political career actually following through on what he ran on, and I admire him for that.

Well, he might unite Congress, against him.

This man gives press conference, and he sounds pathetic.
You voted for Obama and you have the nerve to use the word "delusional?"

Sorry, laughing at your joke candidates =/= being scared of them. That goes for Palin, Bachmann, Cruz, and the "You're fired" guy.

Looking at the WWE style clown circus we have right now, how I wish Obama could run for a third term.

I'm sure your laughter is fine with Trump supporters.

Comparing Trump to Ghandi now?

Trump created a monster with his anti-Mexican rhetoric; right-wingers have taken delusion to insane levels.

Your concept of "reverse" clearly differs from the rest of the world. If you want to see a nation in reverse, please refer to the years 2001-2009.

Not even close to being trivial. Closer to all-important. Trump's immigration plan isn't remotely feasible.

Nope. I applied Ghandi's wisdom to this situation. He is right yet again.


As for the rest of your post, you have now moved to Step #3.

There is still a decent chance Biden will join the race which would be a continuation of Obama pretty much.

I do like how he navigates around the reporters questions. You can tell the reporters are looking for dirt, or a slip up of some sort but he just breezes through them.

He decides when the question is answered, not the reporters. It's interesting.

Dude getting fired up wasn't doing anyone any favors.

Idk honestly, I'm in that camp that believes its not like things are gonna be any worse if he becomes president. I find that a lot of people say that he will ruin things, but what isn't ruined already? Should be a good show if he really shows his plans in the next month or so. That will be what makes or breaks him.
