Do you imagine for one moment that if anyone asked Donald Trump today whether he offered a position to Dr. Carson that he would fess up and just say yes? Unless Carson has it in writing, on tape, or on video, then it never happened.
Carson was a toy for Republicans to play with early on, just like Herman Caine. There's not a snowball's chance in Hell that Republicans would ever support a black candidate. Donald Trump is a RACIST for chrissake! He won't even allow black people into his rallys. Carson is a fool to think Trump wants anything out of him more than the endorsement he already gave. Go home Ben. Take a gaddam nap.

The 2016 presidential election is looking like it will be a matchup between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. While this election season has been full of surprises, it is likely that the most decisive period in the election has already passed, the outcome is set and this presidential election will be the first time since 1952 that Democrats will hold on to the White House for three terms in a row.
.
In a prior Politico article, I laid out the primary factors that have shaped the outcome of presidential election in eight of the last nine presidential elections: the state of the economy, the incumbent president’s job approval and how and when the nomination fight is settled. Right now, none of these factors is working in the Republicans’ favor.

In other words, it felt warm because Reagan was tossing the furniture into the fireplace and there was still enough room for everyone to crowd around close to the flames.

By the time Clinton took office in 1992, outsourcing had begun in earnest, the tax cuts had redistributed income upward to the elites and the military buildup had run its course.

It was all smoke and mirrors.

Too bad the Republicans can’t nominate the Trumpinator.

[Linked Image from images.dailykos.com] Just think, were it not for two words in Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, Republican and former Mr. Universe, two term governor of our largest state, world renown movie star, and the man selected to replace Donald Trump as host of “Celebrity Apprentice" Arnold Schwarzenegger could be running for president. Take out the words “natural born” from our Constitution and it could have happened.

Adding to his appeal is the fact that Arnold has actually governed; but he also fathered a child with the family housekeeper showing he is truly a man of the people as opposed to Trump who only has had affairs with supermodels.

Of course Trump couldn’t discredit him with the birther attack, and even if he could, who would care since Austria last I knew was a mostly white country.

I can visualize a debate where one candidate is a real actor, one who can effect an ominous presence and a voice that would prompt urinary incontinence in his competition.

I can hear in my head Schwarzenegger saying things like “whose finger do you want on the nuclear button, mine or one of these guys” or for that matter, “who do you really want going mano a mano with Putin, tiny fingers Donald, sweaty Cruz, or Conan the Destroyer?"

Finally, can you imagine Trump trying to stand on the same stage with him and try to dismiss his candidacy by calling him little Arnold?

I wonder if the Terminator ever thinks about all this.

I just put this on The Daily Kos Community.

Fox News poll has Sen Cruz within striking distance. While distracted by a buffoon, you guys may have allowed a truly insidious person the opportunity to win the general.

My wife can't stand it when I do my Arnold impersonations.
She says I am fairly good at it but that it just annoys the crap out of her, which naturally inspires me to do it even more.

There is no way a Seven Mountain Dominionist will become POTUS in the U.S. today. Hmm

Why do you assume that people know he is one, or assume that they even know what Seven Mountain Dominionism is?

I wish that they did, but I wager most of them just think Ted's an ordinary guy with strong Christian beliefs.
Not all Christians (or plain old Republicans) know what other sects of their own faith believe.
Most of them just think theirs is the one true faith, but they don't always know the specifics.
