I;m sorry the Nuclear Triad

i stick by what i said about her sounding like she knew what she was doing, even though she really doesn't. being able to spout out jargon like 'nuclear triad' and 'sixth fleet' and numbers of marines and what have you makes her sound like a president even though none of the sentences she makes with them actually make sense policy-wise

I think Trumps support will fade a bit. He looked really uncomfortable at times and constantly on the defensive.

Jeb looked like an idiot, but he'll gobble up the support Walker had when he drops out next week. Carly is going to soar, but like the products she shilled at HP will break and we'll need to buy a new one.

prediction: remember how 2012 was pretty much every candidate getting 15 minutes' fame until the GOP as a whole was forced to settle on Mitt? I predict that it'll be the same this time around, except Trump will be in the lead all the time and everyone will keep trying to ignore that and focus on the candidate du jour, until they're forced to accept Trump as the GOP presidential candidate

the weird thing is my mom is a 2nd generation dutch immigrant but i feel no connection to the netherlands. i guess its because i have a scottish last name and therefore can identify with a clan and all the romantic bullshit to do with that. no wonder the Jews are so close knit, they have their own religion, language and customs and on top of that they've been treated like dogshit for over a millennium.

That is true about the Jews. I've a last name that can be translated into like 3 other languages and my grandfather on my dad's side that I got the name from isn't my biological. I;m actually part easter European from some other guy I'm not supposed to know about. It is impossible for me to feel a connection to a homeland when I can connect to Ireland, Germany, Norway, Lithuania, English, and a 32nd or 64th native american (cherokee to be specific).


You know this is when we could get into a big discussion about white america culture/identity, but let us not at this time since it is not the thread and people here suck and will say there isn't one and whites need to die.

Interesting to see Coulter going full :hitler:

"Conservative policy positions will become politically unattainable if we don't act to stem the tide of democratic-voting non-white hordes from entering America" is a straight up white nationalist talking point.

by the way, the 'nuclear triad' is a real thing (the three means of waging nuclear warfare: missiles, bombers and submarines) and needs reinforcement. not because they are weak offensively like carly means but because the standards of the divisions that operate them that there are regular terifying incidents of negligence involving warheads getting 'misplaced' by the college dropouts in charge of them

I could see JEB! losing some support.

Hopefully because of his dumbass "My brother kept America safe" comment.

Jeb had moments, but over all looked kind of pathetic.

With that said he didn't bomb out and his pacs are about to spend something like $40 million on ads so I am sure he will move up a bit at Carson's expense.

Really tonight Carson was the BIG loser - Fiorina the winner. But she will last for only a month or two then Cruz will take her place as the NOT TRUMP.

Yes but quoting a big chunk of the Pledge of Allegiance in the middle of a speech about the flaming sword of military justice laying waste to our enemies along with really detailed description of military forces just seems another level of crazy. I can see why everyone at HP referred to her as a witch.
