Hey NW - the more support he gets (and that goes for Carson as well) the more splintered the Reps are. I think that's a good thing smile

The end of the modern GOP can't come soon enough for me, or the nation.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Trump is benefiting from a GOP electorate that thinks Barack Obama is a Muslim and was born in another country, and that immigrant children should be deported. 66% of Trump’s supporters believe that Obama is a Muslim to just 12% that grant he’s a Christian. 61% think Obama was not born in the United States to only 21% who accept that he was. And 63% want to amend the Constitution to eliminate birthright citizenship, to only 20% who want to keep things the way they are.
Birtherism goes mainstream

Why is it that "the media" is so reluctant to call out the utter insanity that undergirds the Trump campaign? Seriously, where is sense and rationality? Are they afraid the truth is to painful?

It's all about entertainment. Even the left-leaning media can't get enough of this clown. It helps the ratings.
The only person I've heard take an actual position on this was Bernie who basically refuses to get sucked into the media BS and stands firmly on only discussing the issues (like a real candidate should).

Probably why the media doesn't cover Senator Sanders as well. No mean and nasty sound bites for them to salivate over.

You will feel a lot less mystified by Republican values when you accept the fact that we live in a world of cartoon cows with no boobs and reality TV star candidates with no brains.
All that's missing is Ren and Stimpy being appointed to cabinet level posts at EPA and DOE, and Pinky & The Brain At CIA and DoD.
