We know he's for women's rights because he let his fiance break up with him via news post on his own site. We know he's pro immigration because he imported a mail order bride. We know he's a pacifist as he refused to fight back against a terrible film director allowing himself to be concussed. Sounds like a great candidate to me!

Well, how many confirmed kills did Kyle have, and how many prisoners has Perry ordered killed? E: according to quick googling, Kyle had a career total of 160 confirmed kills (255 claimed) while Perry had ordered 278 executions as of Sept. 2014, all of which are ostensibly confirmed kills.

"Senator Paul, do you agree or disagree with your father, former Congressman Ron Paul, that Zionism is responsible for our intervention campaigns in the Middle East?" You're crazy if you don't think that question will come up; not that it'll get much airtime beca--MR. TRUMP HAS THE YOOJEST MOST LUXURIOUS IQ ON THE SHOW. MR. TRUMP IS BETTER THAN THE SALAMI AND THE BOLOGNA COMBINED.

These numbers though:quote:In Colorado, only 34% of voters said they see Clinton as honest and trustworthy while 62% said they don't. In Iowa, the numbers were 33% to 59% -- a drop from 45% to 47% in April. And in Virginia, Clinton did best, at 39% saying they trust her to 55% saying they don't. Didn't they hear her say everything she did was legal?

One thing that Onion article nailed: the attack ads are going to be both highly entertaining and fascinating. Trying to engage with Trump is pointless - any Republican criticism of his policies starts with "maybe that sounds good, but it's not feasible," which is totally irrelevant to Trump's base, and leaves the aggressor wide open for Trump's barrage of populism and slander. You can't argue nuance with Trump. Trump obliterates nuance by his presence. ...which, of course, is exactly the strategy Republican party has been pulling on the rest of us for the the past four years: promising their voters nonsense policies that are impossible to implement and don't stand up to any real scrutiny, but that are impossible to argue against, because they're catering to a shrinking, increasingly radicalized base that doesn't care about scrutiny or implementation. Compared to Trump, everyone else is a RINO. GOP:America=Trump:GOP And you know what? gently caress them. They deserve this. The final evolution of the modern Republican party is the Westboro Baptist Church, a dozen shrieking fanatics damning everyone else to hell, and Trump's just tightening that noose. "We would tell you to pray, but it wouldn't do any good. You have earned what is coming to you." ... Alright, serious question: conventional wisdom says that Trump's going to get pushed out by the eventual consensus candidate who successfully woos the big financial backers. But that was Romney's position four years ago, and they still couldn't get him elected. 2012 proved that even Koch cash can't save a campaign if both your base and the American public are antipathetic to your candidate. Exactly how far can donor money go in getting a terrible candidate through the primaries and into the general - especially when the donors are still arguing about which terrible establishment candidate to throw their collective weight behind, and the fringe candidate has already unified the base? This is not 2012, with the flavor-of-the-month dark horse candidates, and Trump is not Herman Cain. The suggestion that Trump could become the Republican candidate is, at its face, totally laughable and patently impossible... but then again, it was supposed to be impossible for Trump to dump The Apprentice, to stick through when backlash among his business partners started hurting him financially, to dominate the national conversation, to make gaffes that would sink any other candidate and actually see his numbers rise. We are in uncharted loving territory. Trump is absurd, but he's running against anemic opponents, in a party that screams for his brand of absurdity. Basically, I don't think we can take "he's going to get stomped out by the big donors" for granted anymore. I honestly have no idea how far he's going to go.
