Sorry, but no true Republican would ever vote for Democrat scum like that.

Like, if you showed me a Republican who just went with the status-quo in '96 and voted for Bill Clinton instead of Dole and that was the one time they veered off, OK. Maybe I accept that.

A "Republican" voting for both LBJ and Hillary is just too laughable.

On Jan. 3, he declined to say under what circumstances he would use a nuclear weapon. “We have to be somewhat unpredictable,” he argued. The next day, he sidestepped a question about bombing Iranian nuclear facilities. “I want to be unpredictable. I’m not going to tell you right now what I’m going to do,” he told Bill O’Reilly on Fox News. “We have to show some unpredictability. I want to be unpredictable. I don’t want to tell you exactly what I’m going to do.” O’Reilly pressed the candidate: “Don’t the voters have a right to know how far you’re going to go?” Trump blew him off: “No, they don’t.” In fact, said Trump, “The voters want to see unpredictability.”

Boosted has been fed so much anti-Hillary propaganda from the right wing that he believes she is an actively evil and corrupt woman who will be a worse President than Trump.

And he thinks she'll come for his guns, which is just 100% false.

I'm curious about what they mean by "again". Do they want America to be as safe as it was crime peaked two decades ago, or when the threat of nuclear annihilation was a genuine concern, or is there some other golden era they have in mind?

Trump is going to fly to Cleveland tonight, introduce Melania, fly back to New York after her speech, and then return to Cleveland on Wednesday.

Traditionally, the nominee does not appear at the convention prior to their name being placed in nomination.

The most notable Hispanic speaker on the schedule as of late Sunday was Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

While I suppose technically correct I believe this is the first time I have seen Ted Cruz be referred to as Hispanic because as far as I have seen culturally he is about as white as they come.
