Majorian posted:Hey, NML, remember when you denied that Trump is a neocon and then I pointed out that John Bolton was one of his foreign policy advisers? Pretty funny. The Neocons are Trump's biggest adversaries, so no, he's not a Neocon. sharkbomb posted:Probate anyone that complains about dumbass college students - we are overdue for a 20 page discussion. Then probate everyone that complains about liberals, then build the wall and WEAR THE HAT, BOOSTED. Laughing at college kids is our god given right as old people. So young, so full of emotion... I remember when I cared about things.

Montasque posted:Cruz actually is worse by a long shot because he actually believes his garbage and will pursue it with gusto. I agree completely, and it's infuriating watching the mainstream media endlessly call the silly clownman a fascist while more or less giving Ted Cruz a free pass. Trump says stupid things but Ted Cruz would sign a Blasphemy Law and start burning heretics at the stake if he had the power.

hey boosted here are some ideas on how to improve this thread 1) all the posters should be louder, angrier and have access to joke books 2) whenever donald trump isn't winning the primary, all the posters should ask "why do you want ted cruz to win the presidency"

OOPS. I have inadvertently revealed how blind I am with my 200% zoom on SA on Chrome on a 27" monitor. LOL at anyone thinking I would ban people who complain (justifiably) about college kids (who are absolute morons).

ayn rand hand job posted:so did fishmech Haha where is the train superthread yet. Never too early to get started on the Trumpabteilung (TA?)! quote:JANESVILLE, Wis. — One night last week, dozens of chanting activists filed into the lobby of a hotel here, demanding that it cancel a Donald Trump town hall set for the following day. Within minutes, three members of Trump’s advance security team were in the lobby, and things escalated quickly. quote:The fracas in Janesville was only one example of the aggressive tactics Trump’s security has been using to tamp down even peaceful protests. A POLITICO investigation revealed that Trump has assembled a privately funded security and intelligence force with a far wider reach than other campaigns’ private security operations: tracking and rooting out protesters, patrolling campaign events and supplementing the Secret Service protection of the billionaire real estate showman during his nontraditional campaign for the GOP presidential nomination. quote:Among Trump critics who’ve had run-ins with his security, complaints include unnecessary force, discriminatory profiling and removing people from events based on little more than their appearance. Some question whether the force’s members are properly trained and certified for the work they’re doing, while others assert that the force acts as if it has the power of the law behind it. quote:At a Trump rally at the Tucson, Arizona, convention center last month, a group of Trump’s private security officers wearing street clothes walked amid a raucous crowd, looking for protesters. The head of the group, a retired FBI agent named Eddie Deck, homed in on a transgender college student named Jaqueline Dowell who was not protesting. She said Deck “grabbed my arm and angrily pulled me through the crowd. I was then escorted by a security officer. When I asked why I was being kicked out, the guard told me, ‘because it was requested that you leave.’” But she told POLITICO “I genuinely believe I was kicked out because I am transgender."

The fact that the neocon establishment hates him doesn't mean anything.

If his beliefs aren't that of a neocon, his policies are indistinguishable from them.

So does the GOP have any path going forward that isn't catastrophic? At this point it's Donald Trump or ignoring a plurality of their voters. They're screwed either way.

if i'm wrong you can file this under "foolish last words from a screaming corpse circa the 5th year of ted cruz's hell reign", but no one with ted cruz's face is going to become president in this 24 hour media cycle era

After the war he wants America paid in natural resources. Trump isn't a neocon, he's a 18th century warlord.

Montasque posted:Trump wants to ally with Russia to fight ISIS Eh, kind of, but so did George W. Bush, if you remember - it was just called al-Qaeda at the time. e: and, of course, Dubya was perfectly fine with letting dictators of Assad's ilk remain in power, as long as they helped him fight terror. See Islam Karimov, the Uzbek dictator who has been known to literally boil dissidents alive.  Either way, bear in mind, the discussion NML was referring to was one in which he was calling Clinton a neocon. So I don't think he's in any position to complain about people being fast and loose with their terms. Majorian fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Apr 6, 2016 |

No, every option is a travesty and I can't think of any route that wouldn't lead to long-term damage to the GOP. -Run Trump, have GOP back him, lose miserably and see the base break down. -Ratfuck Trump, run Cruz, watch him lose because everybody hates him, dismantle the Tea Party in the process but stoke the coals of the disgust of your base because you hosed over Trump, viva revolution. -gently caress over both Trump and Cruz, run Ryan, country collectively laughs in a Joe Biden voice, force whole GOP base to question the system -Run 3rd party candidate, fracture base, destroy party, chaos reigns More than anything I'm curious how post-convention antics will affect down ticket seats. I know the GOP is bracing for some losses in the house and senate but I think it'll be more devastating than they're predicting.

I also think that their obstructionism with Obama's Supreme Court justice nomination will bite them in the rear end hard and create a massive surge of D turnout.

A lot of people seem to use neocon to mean 'interventionist' but that's only conservative in that it's a US tradition through the past 150 years. It's definitely a strong part of neoconservative doctrine but it's not the defining feature. The defining feature is the head-anus conglomeration.

Montasque posted:Yeah Clinton isn't a neocon either. We just cant be throwing that word around! I agree, but it's also important, IMO, to recognize that when discussing policy platforms, the term can and should take on a broader meaning than its strictest sense, if for no other reason than that the original capital-N Neoconservatives are either dead or very, very old: Leo Strauss, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, etc. The current generation of neocons (Bill Kristol, John Podhoretz, Paul Wolfowitz, Doug Feith, et al.,) were never Trotskyists, and seem less ideologically rigorous, although they're just as committed to the use of American hard power to install pro-US democratic governments worldwide. Their influence on government isn't an ideologically pure one, either - there were several areas where the George W. Bush administration differed dramatically from the neoconservatives' positions. But I think it's still fair to say that the Bush '43 foreign policy was one of the most neoconservative this country has ever seen. Tesseraction posted:A lot of people seem to use neocon to mean 'interventionist' but that's only conservative in that it's a US tradition through the past 150 years. It's definitely a strong part of neoconservative doctrine but it's not the defining feature. The defining feature is the head-anus conglomeration. Also their coming-of-age ritual, Neo-Kolinahr, where their soul and sense of empathy are removed.
