The plan is to let 'them' die (wink, wink). This is appealing to a lot of the aging base. The day they no longer need medicare is approaching. We think we've seen the worst of the baby boomers, but I think that when their generation truly embraces their mortality we'll see exactly how apocalyptically nasty and selfish their generation really can aspire to be.

So 7th Day Adventists are basically Jewish wannabes (even more so than regular American Protestants) who don't believe in Christmas and who keep incorrectly predicting the end of the world. Ben 'Murdered His Mother With A Hammer' Carson doesn't stand a chance.

Trump is walking the razor's edge/really threading the needle with this one. Seventh-day Adventists are out of the mainstream enough that Trump could successfully get away with hitting Carson on some of the stuff like "not celebrating Christmas" but he has to make absolutely sure it doesn't look like he's going after Carson for being a Christian or going against Christianity in general. I am curious if Carson's vegetarianism is going to come up or not, or if it does if it's going to be any sort of liability or not. Real 'Murica likes us/them some bacon, hamburgers, steaks, and turkey after all.

He's not even President yet and Trump is already ACTUALLY helping middle class America and blue collar workers. As opposed to Hillary "She's just as palatable as Jeb Bush to us on Wall-Street" Clinton whose out there yammering about a bunch of free crap that the middle class will ultimately get bent over the barrel to pay for and certainly not her rich Wall-Street buddies who aren't impacted by the marginal income tax rates she'll hike on losers like Doctors and small business owners who don't add value to our society like her paper-pusher and money changer friends.

Hallmark Channel is proud to present "It's a Trumpderful Life", starring Donald Trump as a hugely successful but disillusioned businessman who goes on a search to find the real meaning behind America and Christmas. Special guest appearances by Miss America, Hulk Hogan, Ted Nugent, Gary Busey, Dennis Rodmann, and NFL Superstar Tom Brady from the New England Patriots!

Still needs a rom-com angle. Melania is too old, no one would buy a 45 year old love interest... Melissa Joan Hart? No too down home and wholesome. Maybe Mandy Moore?... Too cutesy. No, we need someone beautiful, young, urbane, and sophisticated... I know Ivanka Trump!

Ben Carson likens abortion to slavery, wants to see Roe v. Wade overturnedquote:Carson said that an abortion to save a woman's life is "an extraordinarily rare situation," but one where "there's room to discuss" terminating pregnancy. But he would give no leeway to a pregnancy that resulted from rape or incest. I think the media finally realizes that Trump vs. Hillary will be the ratings spectacular they've all been hoping for since the Bush v. Gore debacle.

Rocks posted:Does Carson have any policies other than ban abortions and give guns to everyone? I don't really understand his message. Ben Carson posted:We need a significantly changed taxation system. And the one that I've advocated is based on tithing, because I think God is a pretty fair Guy. And He said, you know, if you give me a tithe, it doesn't matter how much you make. If you've had a bumper crop, you don't owe Me triple tithes. And if you've had no crops at all, you don't owe Me no tithes. So, there must be something inherently fair about that. And that's why I've advocated a proportional tax system. You make $10 billion, you pay a billion. You make $10, you pay one. And everybody gets treated the same way. And you get rid of the deductions, you get rid of all the loopholes.

Which that breakdown of why people like him in Iowa bears out. In turn it shows that there's a good chance that the idea that voters are hopping on the Trump and Carson bandwagon while not actually considering the Presidency at this point.
