no one is saying that he woke up the sheeple, however its important to note that liberty u students live in an echo chamber more profound than the bernie sanders megathread. a secular socialist challenging that worldview is a net positive

Liberty students love to think of themselves as being 'different' and 'edgy', when in reality they are styrofoam levels of boring.

He probably already has a large contingent of supporters at Liberty (relatively speaking), they all hate Hillary because their parents hated her and they remember that from the 90s.

I think Carson will lose support after a few more debates. I don't think he can handle himself head to head against the other candidates, and now that he's the one that non-Trump candidates need to steal support from (since Trump seems to have locked down his) he's going to be a target.

Yeah, Trump may not be subject to the discovery/scrutiny/decline cycle we saw so much of in 2012, but Carson seems ripe for it.

he didn't challenge their worldview he just said "we disagree about some things", but considering the things Liberty U agrees to like encouraging lynching of gay people I would think it's rather bad to just frame that as a "lets agree to disagree" issue.

Going out there to insult and isolate them is loving stupid as hell and why leftists don't get poo poo done, hell it's more than part of the reason Trump is doing so well running on an insane reactionary platform.

Working together for common goals and trying to connect/force people to see your humanity and question their own bielefs is the only way to change people's minds and hearts.

part of the appeal of sanders is that hes not a bully despite being kind of an ideological crusader. going in guns blazing to liberty u wouldnt have been brave, it would have been stupid - more importantly its really not who sanders is

Glenn Beck: Tea Partiers Who Support Donald Trump Are Racist

quote:

“The media’s making this look like [Trump’s supporters are] Tea Party people. I don’t think these are Tea Party people who are following him. Some of them may be, but I think these — I mean, you can’t — if you were a Tea Party person, then you were lying. You were lying. It was about Barack Obama being black...

... “I cannot understand the Trump thing, and it scares the hell out of me,” Beck added. “If there’s anybody who would like the Greek columns, and the gold and the glitter, it’ll be Donald Trump.” He continued that Trump saying his name may be on the wall between the US and Mexico is “what a dictator says. I mean, remember, it was Leningrad, and then it was Stalingrad. That’s what dictators do. That’s what dictators do. And we are — if it’s not him, it will be someone else, that steps into that role, if we don’t stop this right now.”

He concluded, “This guy is just a TV star. That’s what’s happening. He’s a TV star, and people just want to win, and they’ll take anyone.”

Beck has also come out strongly against Sarah Palin recently, maybe he wants to get back into the Morning Zoo gig?

It wasn't exactly an "agree to disagree" moment, though, and instead more of a "there's some other serious poo poo that I think we do agree on, so I'm going to about that" kind of thing. But really, it was mostly just a clever campaign move designed to get him a bunch of exposure that he wasn't really getting before and if he changed a few minds in the process, well, cool beans.

edit: I misread your post but whatever, my point still stands I guess

Republican frontrunners namedropping Churchill as their favourite historical figure is pretty ironic, considering he was a self-aggrandizing blowhard with a spotty history of dumb decisions and get-rich-quick win-the-war-quick schemes. He also built walls as a hobby. I am not making that up.

People keep saying this, but "give some of your money to the poor and the rest to our Church to fund our communal living setup" isn't particularly socialist, it's more kooky cult behavior.

Jeb Bush video about America uses stock footage from foreign countries

quote:

The video also shows a clip of the silhouette of a construction worker with text on the screen that says "America is great" — stock footage that was taken from “a multiple story building in Southeast Asia,” according to the website Pond5. The HD version of the clip costs $35.

Contestants, including Gary Busey, Ted Cruz and Kanye West, will vie for Cabinet positions.

I get the idea of punching up to try to get your name out there in theory. But this is just pathetic. What's Jindal doing? He's wasting a lot of breath reminding people a lot of a more interesting candidate, and doing a terrible job trying to piggy back on Trumpmentum. Has there been one Jindal article in the last week without Trump also in the title or first paragraph?
