Take what you will from this video. I only present it as something that may have merit.

You can't post a single one disproving any of it aside from him saying he loves women

Salon has probably seen the dialogue on this message board.

Stupid is bi partisan and it is a epidemic in this country. In a round about way democracy brought us Hitler and democracy can give us anyone and any form of gvt. This election cycle it is just more profound, with the Bern and his democratic socialism and Trump who has flip flopped all his life, ugly campaign,no specifics,and bad ideas on some policy. Don't know about anyone else but the American electorate scares the hell out of me.

  • His tax-plan slashes taxes on people in his income bracket and adds a trillion a year to deficits.
  • his wall is not practical from an engineering standpoint.
Although I generally agree with you on Trump:

CNN had a whole thing on how the wall is 100% feasible and said they couldn't find an engineer that thought it couldn't be done. The debate is the politics and the cost of an estimated 12 Billion dollars. It is silly to suggest that it can't be done.

The whole thing is a Democrat lie to shut down debate as they feel they benefit from illegal immigration politically.



However, I think Obama also proved there are massive amounts of sheep as well. Before winning the presidency, what did Obama accomplish? No major pieces of legislation, no committee ran, no record of reaching across party lines, no anything...any controversial vote Obama merely stated that he accidentally voted the wrong way...all he was, was a fancy teleprompter reader. When he was off teleprompter and someone asked him a question, like if he wanted to redistribute the wealth, the media attacked the questioner rather than Obama for his bumbling answer. Shouldn't people running for the highest office in the land be questioned?

Obama had laundry list of Bush complaints to the chants, faintings, and cheers of the masses.....Obama then through his actions endorses most of the Bush actions as the crowd looks the other way.....Sheep.

That made me laugh out loud.


The GOP has had its chance to do the right thing by the American voter. It has failed, as has the D party, evidenced by the popularity of Bernie.


Now we're taking the establishment to the woodshed.


Amazingly, neither the government pigs at the trough nor the media gets it.


Clue: You're Fired!

Why do you constantly repeat these lies? First, he wasn't speaking of Mexicans here legally or Mexicans in general. He was talking about Mexicans here illegally and he did not say that most are murderers and rapists! He doesn't want to ban Muslims that don't have ties to extremists. We just need to make sure that they don't. He does not have close ties to white supremists nor does he embrace the views of the KKK. Why do you do this? It is blatantly dishonest to make claims that aren't true.

What the people at salon don't realize is that every time they call people stupid, that solidifies Trumps support.

The best thing the media could have done with Trump is ignore him, but they just couldn't stay away and now you are going to have the first reality TV GOP Presidential Candidate...the name caller and braggart in chief to be. That would be a great one explaining to your kids if he actually pulled it off.

"But daddy, the President of the United States calls everyone who criticizes him a loser, so when my teacher said I should do my homework, I told her to shut up, that she's a loser and a light weight, and that her ratings suck."

No surprise in this article. The liberal press, including Salon, has been calling the nonprogressive voters "idiots" for almost a decade and these people are tired of being denigrated by the liberal left. Record turnouts in the Republican primaries reflect that fact.

Salon is annoying left-wing rag. Who cares what these blithering idiots think? They ARE they establishment: useful idiots or otherwise. Their open borders agenda coincides with that of the globalists. The more they run their stupid mouths, the more people being to wake up and support Trump.
