Trump will most likely be the nominee

[grampster]

I have an idea that Trump doesn't like being told what to do.  Since Democrats main occupation is telling people what to do, perhaps Trump might be a roadblock to some of the SJW crap.

Trump to me is like concealed carry.  You know America is Shall Issue, but you don't know if he's carrying or not.  I don't think he'd be as dangerous to liberty and the economy and immigration as Hillary would be.

[TommyGunn]

Do you think Hillary wrote hers?

Do you believe ANY politician actually wrote any book with his/her name on it?

First, I was not aware Hillary had written a book, and wouldn't buy it, nor read it if it were given to me free.
Second, I would think very few policritters write their own book.  So what?

[Balog]

Trump actually defended his own family?!?  How amazing that someone would defend their own spawn against outsider criticism!  Why, we never see that kind of behavior!

It's a nice change of pace from him fantasizing about banging his daughter.

Hey but he explains it! She's got a great rack

Not to worry, since we'll get the leadership we deserve.

I think cruz could have won it if he had gone into the military, even as a reservist or national guard and had no choice but to learn to deal with regular folk.  As it was his personality is straight out of uncanny valley and the billionaire had a better rapor with regular folk.

Reality TV Star or Criminal.

Why is it that whenever I agree with you, it's always on the most depressing of topics?

No more, nor less, than I believe anything else he, or any other policritters says.

That was---what, 20 years ago?
I seem to recall Bill wrote a book explaining his tax policies called, "It Takes a Pillage."

[Jamisjockey]

Well if I bother this year, it will be to vote third party.  (L) most likely.

The (Republican) people have spoken.

Most presidential candidates write a book get some propaganda ghost-written for them, prior to running.

Yea....  by the time I'm through watching the B*S* they spew on TV news shows and other media I don't think I could stomach reading a whole book by most of these tinplated twerps.

[Perd Hapley]

I feel your pain.

I originally used it only for the trotskyite Jews who got mugged by history and began to oppose communism in the late 20th century and then infiltrated both conservatism and the GOP.  I'd get cranky when someone would call a gentile a neo-con. 

Thing is, they infiltrated conservatism as entryists and then managed to stomp out almost all of old-school American-focused conservatism.  So sometime after Reagan's election, conservative ~ neoconservative.  Jeane Kirkpatrick is an early example, but you can see the strain run brightly through GWB and the current neo-con sort, no matter if jew or gentile.  I guess you could call them, "rootless self-serving globalist corporatists" but that is not as pithy as neo-con.

I am not yet ready to spread the term even farther to include folk who never claimed to be conservative. 

Conspiracy Co-worker has now informed me that I am the world's only hipster neo-con. While I find this hilarious, I am dismayed to find that @hipsterneocon is already taken. Makes sense, I guess. The two labels no one claims for themselves, and that have become catch-all insults for anyone we don't like.

So, have you read Rod Dreher's "Crunchy Con?"

Sub-titled variously, "How Birkenstocked Burkeans, gun-loving organic gardeners, evangelical free-range farmers, hip homeschooling mamas, right-wing nature lovers and their diverse crowd of countercultural conservatives plan to save America (or at least the Republican Party)."  Or, less volubly, "The New Conservative Counterculture and Its Return to Roots."

You're joking, right?  Do you know how many times Trump has flip-flopped, and "walked back a story?" 
If I had a penny for them all,  I'D by myself a castle on an enchanted island .

[RocketMan]

And now Kasich is out.  Suspended his campaign late this afternoon.  That locks it for Trump, minus any shenanigans at the convention.

Dreher is an interesting dude. Makes me want to attend an Orthodox church with a priest who does the Mass in Latin facing away from the congregation.

Interesting yes.  But the man is the consummate navel gazer who will never accomplish anything of use.  He introspects himself into paralysis in the face of any positive action.  Any action is always quibbled to the point he can not support the action because the man acting in the face of evil or cultural rot somehow did not take rods belly button lint seriously enough for the tragically introspective author to support him in good conscience.

He makes a career of making the perfect the enemy of the good.  And of elevating consumer choices to the level of biblical doctrine.

Were I Trump, I'd do Obama one better, by rolling out my Office of the President-Elect podium right now.
