Rush Limbaugh's opening rant today was about the 'elites' vs Trump. Basically he said that 'big money elites' are fighting against the best interests of the American people, and that both parties are in their pockets...

Trump is..progressive

quote:

Yesterday on Meet The Press he also declared that he supports LGBT employment anti-discrimination protections.

He acknowledged critics who say he’s not a real conservative “have a point from years ago.” But Trump has insisted he’s more in-line with the GOP now, and pointed to Ronald Reagan, who he said was “a Democrat, absolutely, with a liberal bent” before becoming a Republican as a similar case. Still, Trump offered those critics further cause for skepticism during the interview. He said he was “fine with affirmative action,” noting “we’ve lived with it for a long time,” though many conservatives have argued it’s unnecessary today. He also said he’s willing to back recent court decisions banning private companies from firing employees because of their sexual orientation — and that he himself agrees with the decision.”I don’t think it should be a reason” employers can use to fire workers, he said.

Trump Leads GOP Field, Fiorina Rises as Walker Fades

http://morningconsult.com/2015/08/trump-leads-gop-field-fiorina-rises-as-walker-fades/

quote:

A new Morning Consult survey of self-identified Republicans and Republican-leaning independents shows Trump maintaining his standing at 32 percent, far ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), who earns 12 percent of the vote.

No other candidate breaks into double digits: Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson is in third place, with seven percent of the vote. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) are tied for fourth place at six percent each, with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) nipping at their heels at five percent.

It won't, because most conservatives support this sort of stuff so long as it's presented to them in a way that doesn't clash with their identity.

A thought occured to me today - Trump vs Hillary might actually be an amazing thing for the American political process. Not because of the entertainment value (which would be great), but because they're both teflon candidates. Both of them can get hit with drat near every scandal under the sun and shrug it off like no one else can. That's pretty unheard of and would require both sides to radically alter how they campaign. It might even require an actual focus on issues and positions and that sort of insanity.

vv Hey, I said 'might'. Stranger things - like Trump submitting the FEC paperwork - have happened.

I'm at a point where if it somehow ended up Clinton vs Trump I'd really have to think about it. A Trump presidency would be a disaster but I think a Clinton one would be pretty lovely too. I don't know. I didn't think I could become more disillusioned with politics but here we are. I honestly feel like they'd make similar SCOTUS noms. Seeing the entire Republican establishment throw a shitfit for four years that would make the last eight years look reasonable and cordial may do it for me.

There are way too many old racists still alive whose votes they depend on. They're at least a decade from running a minority candidate and even then it'll probably be someone, uh, lighter, like Rubio. Herman Cain was the frontrunner at one point in 2012 to give you an idea of how afraid of Ben Carson you should be.

What the gently caress are you talking about? A Trump presidency would be leagues worse than a Clinton one, and in what world are they going to be making similar SCOTUS nominations? This "both parties are the same!" bullshit is getting tiring.
