Today Trump has been called a Frankenstein, The day before a new Hitler. Today a comic has him bald. Witch is it too much hair or not enough. The media smear and Republicans are doing an number on him. The Democrats just sit back and enjoy. Among the working people(men) I have found tremendous support for him. This smear campaign has no effect on them. They know how this works in this country. They have been handed the hind end and smeared themselves for too long. The women refer to his being married four times. That's all it takes for some women.

Smear? Its not a smear to tell the truth about an egomaniacal, progressive, a fraudster (trial ongoing), a gangster-associate guy, rich boy who would shred the constitution (see hsi staements on libel that would tear up part of the first amendment), who lies outright, who brought in illegals to do work, and who has never been challenged by the press on his lies. On top of that he has an authoritarian streak a mile whide. This morning he retweeted uncritically a Mussolini quote.
In my opinion, and the face of the facts, anyone supporting him is either uninformed or delusional.
Time for those people to wake up - Trump is not your savior, or your friend. He is a con man pulling a con job, and is not to be trusted with the Presidency.
Plus he is the ONLY GOP candidate who consistently loses polls to Bernie and Hillary.
Donald Trump for the GOP means Hillary is the president, and with tons of conservatives staying hoime, there goes the Senate - and the Supreme court. OPEN YOUR EYES

You forgot to add all those KKK supporters (Including David Duke), antisemitic groups, and Neo-Nazis, white supremacists who support Trump. David Duke said to go to volunteer to help Trump campaign because "you’re gonna meet people who are going to have the same kind of mindset that you have" and "“Voting for these people, voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage"
"The white race is dying out in America and Europe" William Johnson, the leader of the white nationalist American Freedom Party "Don’t vote for a Cuban. Vote for Donald Trump."
You are known by the company you keep.
Yes we need a wall and borders kept safe - but at the cost of the republic? No thanks, there are better alternatives for anyone willing to look. Open your eyes and look, Trump is the wrong person and he is not who you think he is.
Imagine how Hillary Clinton will be using this kind of crap.
And this is not even tip of the iceberg.
This is obviously a stunt man but people actually think this stuff is for real.
Watch the videos and then watch the campaign debates again.
I have videos of Trump saying the exact same thing on the campaign stump as he says in the wrestling ring.

It is obvious people have their own opinions. Any strong independent thinking leader is attacked on the Republican side. I get this garbage from my left leaning Obama friends. Go your own way as the media and elites do. The silent majority is ruling the day. Watch and gnash your teeth at their stupidity. Soon your only selection will be the RINO Rubio or Romney. Then watch the voters stay home. That's what the establishment wants. That has been the plan all along.

Maine Gov. Paul LePage, a Republican known for his outspoken opinions and war against political correctness, became the second sitting governor to endorse the billionaire media mogul.
The republic is dead save rituals and ceremonies, just like old Rome. Too much power and money has been concentrated and those holding them are not going to give them up politely. You have an oligarchy. You lie to yourselves like the Left who believe that Socialism is economically viable.
Can I say too -
"In my opinion, and the face of the facts, anyone supporting him who thinks otherwise is either uninformed or delusional."
You have your choice - Caesar, Pompey, or Crassus.
Big choice, a egotistical, opportunistic, boorish, crony capitalist who is pro-American or a power hungry anti-American socialist.

"Donald Trump’s son, Eric, said something remarkable about his father’s run for president.
“For him, it’s actually a very selfless thing, if you think about it,” Eric remarked.
He meant that it was very selfless for Trump to put aside his multi-billion-dollar business enterprise to run for office and “get shot at by every media outlet in the world.” From Conservative Tribune

Dale, you keep on ignroing the facts and drinking the Strong Leader koolaide. Thats what gets you an Obama. Or in this case, a Hillary. Trump is not going to win the general, and the fact is 2/3 of the party so far has voted for someone other than him. If you think you can get elected wioth this mystical "silent majority" of KKKlansmen, white supremacists and people who are duped by a fraud-prone liar, and win by alienating conservatives completely with this Planned Parenthood and Obamacare praising cronyist tool? You are gravely mistaken. And people will demand you publicly apologize and grovel for your role in the destruction of the country.
Way to go, you've screwed us all. Wake up before its too late.

Maine Gov. Paul LePage, and Sessions today and Christie Friday. I guess everyone is wrong.
Mitt Romney has five sons who essentially said the same thing, as Eric Trump, about their wealthy father.
Mitt Romney had the endorsement of more than a hundred sitting Senators and Representatives (including Jeff Session)s. Not to mention hundreds of former congressmen.
Mitt Romney had the endorsement of 28 sitting Governors (including both Paul LePage, and Chris Christie).
[AP] MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Former Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Saturday joined his predecessor in office in unloading on Donald Trump, calling the Republican front-runner's campaign racist and saying his discourse on immigration is fueling anti-American sentiment around the world.
Calderon, a conservative who was president of Mexico from 2006 to 2012, even said he thought Trump was trying to exploit the same social feelings and resentments as did Adolf Hitler.
"I think his logic of exalting white supremacy isn't even acting against immigration -- Donald Trump is the descendant of migrants -- it is acting and speaking against immigrants who have a different skin color than him, which is frankly racist and is a bit like the exploitation of sensitive fibers that Hitler did in his day," Calderon told reporters after a meeting of the National Action Party, or PAN, in Mexico City.
Calderon's comments parallel those made earlier by former President Vicente Fox, who preceded Calderon in office and also belonged to the PAN party.
In interviews with Univision and Mexican media, Fox called Trump "crazy," a "false prophet" and an embarrassment to his party. When asked about Trump's assertion that he was going to get Mexico to pay for his proposed border wall, Fox used an explicative to make his point the country would never do so.
Trump said Fox ought to be "ashamed of himself" for his vulgarity and demanded an apology.
Trump has angered many Mexicans for his campaign rhetoric denigrating some immigrants as "rapists" who bring crime and drugs to the United States. Threats of mass deportations of Mexicans and other migrants illegally in the country, along with his promise to build a wall separating the nations, have added to the bad feelings.
Calderon said Trump's discourse is "sowing hate" against the United States around the world and this is not is Washington's interest.
During a visit to Mexico's capital, Vice President Joe Biden apologized for the inflammatory rhetoric about Mexico in the U.S. presidential campaign.
"Some of the rhetoric coming from some of the presidential candidates on the other team are I think dangerous, damaging and incredibly ill-advised," Biden said on Thursday. "But here's what I'm here to tell you: They do not, they do not, they do not represent the view of the vast majority of the American people."

I think mexico has bigger problems on hand than the trumpster.
Now if trump starts making noises about "Picking up where we left off in 1848" and "Bringing El Norte to you" then the mexicans have grounds for complaint.

#1 - might as well get the resources if we're going to get stuck with the population. And you can shrink the length of the border the further south you go. The wall just got smaller.

...we already have that with a wishy washy Trunk controlled Congress which by the way is suppose to control the purse strings and in doing so corral most of that. However, they seemed happy passing the Pelosi-Reid sponsored omnibus funding that covered all that for another year plus of operation. Then they make a theater of proposed restrictions which are of course subject to executive veto. They know that. They're just trying to make it look good.
[Gateway Pundit] Today Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio responded to Fox's profanity.
"If he's gonna use that word he should use it against all the dope peddlers and illegals coming into our country... At least he said one thing, they're not going to pay for the wall, but he didn't say there shouldn't be a wall. If they don't want to pay for it then take away a little foreign aid that we pay Mexico."
Tehran is spending billions under the Iran nuclear deal to buy arms, including advanced Russian fighters. The U.S. has a weapon -- our U.N. veto -- but Eunuch Secretary of State John Kerry won't use it.
When the United Nations endorsed President Obama's Iran nuclear pact last year, it refuted the charge that Tehran would use the tens of billions of dollars in sanctions relief to dominate the Mideast militarily by requiring U.N. Security Council approval for some conventional arms sales to Iran. And like everything the Security Council does, the U.S. enjoys veto power over such approval.
But what use is a veto if we won't use it?
During testimony to the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Thursday, Secretary of State John Kerry was asked the following by House Democrat Brad Sherman of California: "Under the U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231, Russia can't sell fighter planes to Iran unless the Security Council specifically approves that. I'll ask you, will we use our veto to prevent fighter planes from being sold to Iran from Russia?"
Kerry's answer was a continuation of the appeasement of the world's foremost terrorist state that is a hallmark of the Obama administration.
"Well, I don't think you have to use a veto," Kerry answered, adding that "there's a committee" it will go through. When Sherman pressed, "And would we use our veto if necessary to prevent the sale?" Kerry responded, "I haven't looked at the specifics of the transaction," but "in principle, we are very concerned about the transfer of weapons" and "would approach it with great skepticism ... (if) the committee signs off on it, I assure you. We'll stay in touch with you."
The fighters in question are fourth-generation Su-30SM warplanes, which are highly-maneuverable multi-role fighters, "capable of air-to-air and air-to-ground strikes and can be equipped with a wide variety of precision munitions." As the IsraelMatzav blog points out, after news of the proposed sale first broke earlier this month, the Obama administration first "flat out denied that it had the ability to block weapons sales," then "wasn't sure if the U.S. could veto," then finally "acknowledged the sale is illegal and falls under" Security Council Resolution 2231.
It comes on the heels of Moscow selling the long-range S-300 air defense system to Tehran. Both the advanced fighter and the sophisticated surface-to-air missiles, which can destroy both manned bombers and cruise missiles, will make it much more difficult for the U.S. and Israel to attack Iran's nuclear manufacturing facilities, should they choose to do so.
Iran will also likely be getting Russia's most advanced T-90 tanks in its multibillion-dollar "Putin-Mart" shopping spree, just the latest in its long-standing alliance with the former Soviet Union, a partnership based on the two powers' anti-American interests.
The Washington Times' Jed Babbin last week noted that "Russia has been building Iran's nuclear power plants for about two decades," and Russian ruler Vladimir Putin "has been working to reduce Western sanctions on Iran and lessen pressures on its nuclear weapons program for at least a decade." And Babbin warned that Putin could secretly sell Iran its Nudol anti-satellite missile "or the technology behind it" and "could be helping Iran develop its cyberwar capabilities with our satellites in mind. And that's only a couple of the many weapon systems and technologies that Russia could, and likely will, sell to Iran in secret."
Far from reining in Islamofascist Iran, what Obama and Kerry's nuclear deal is doing is massively arming Iran with conventional weapons, as it lets it keep the ability to construct nuclear arms tomorrow -- by which time it may already militarily dominate the Middle East.

Militarily dominating the ME, + LIKELY SAFE TO SAY PERIPHERALS, is what the Anti-US OWG Globalists desire or intend vee "US-style/par" CO-SUPERPOWER IRAN.
The Post-WW2/Cold War/9-11 Global Superpower USA, soon to besuborned under Anti-sovereign OWG + NAU + Related, must unilaterally or "asymetrically" retreat, pull out, or otherwise reduce its power-n-influence, etc. so that its OWG Co-Superpower siblings RUSSIA, CHINA, + IRAN, OTHER? CAN RISE TO MILPOL OR GEOPOL [Rough?]PARITY = EQUALITY WID THE US, NOT INFERIORITY.
RUSSIA, CHINA, + IRAN, ETAL. TO COME ARE RISING BECAUSE ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST POTUS OBAMA IS INTENTIONALLY HELPING OR ALLOWING THEM TO.
IRAN WAS + IS GETTING ITS NUKES, ETC. BECAUSE IT NEEDS NUKES TO BE "PAR" WID THE US, NOT INFERIOR OR DOMINATED BY THE US.
GIVING UP THE ME TO IRAN = GVING UP THE CRIMEA + OTHER TO PUTIN = GIVING UP 1/2 OF THE PACIFIC? HAWAII? [1990'S] 1/2 OF CONUS-NORAM TO CHINA? = GIVING UP 1/2 OF THE ATLANTIC TO THE UK-LED-VS-NOT-UK-LED EU???
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? besides MSM-Net Perts-Bloggers including UOG Guam Professors arguing that the US can not or will not remain a SUPERPOWER under such conditions???

O and Co have created the environment to enable Iran to get nukes. Once Iran gets nukes, they will threaten some nation and then Iran will get nuked, taking a significant portion of their 81 million population to their deaths. Nice legacy for the Dynamit Nobel Piece Prize.

S-o-o-o-o we're not talking about VPOTUS HUCKABEE???
D *** NG, TO BE SO CLOSE BUT YET SO FAR!
["DRAGNET" THEME here].
I'm still of the opinion or belief that Mike Huck was notsomuch running or campaigning for POTUS, but instead for VPOTUS or some other Top Cabinet position in a POTUS Trump Admin, as based on how he always seemed to be turning or looking gaga-eyed at "THE DONUUULD". NO SURPRISE TO ME THAT HUCK'S DAUGHTER CAME OUT IN SUPPORT OF TRUMP.
[Tim Harford] It is intriguing to contemplate some of the less obvious effects [of cheap oil] . Charles Courtemanche, a health economist at Georgia State University, has found a correlation between low gasoline prices and high obesity rates in the United States. That is partly because, when oil prices are high, people may get out of their cars and walk, cycle or get public transport. Cheap gasoline, on the other hand, puts disposable income into the pockets of families who are likely to spend it on eating out. Low oil prices may make us fat.
The good professor has it backwards. Lower oil prices should impact prices across the board, leaving the poor with considerably more discretionary income than they've been accustomed to in recent years. Feeling more wealthy, they are likely to engage in the spending patterns of the middle class, patterns which on the whole result in a slimmer, healthier profile. Thus, while lower oil prices will enable more driving and shopping, rather than sitting on the front stoop in the 'hood, the driving is likely to be to the mall, where extended bouts of healthful walking occur, while the eating there is more likely to be nice meals that include a salad instead of the lettuce, tomato, and pickle on a McDonald's hamburger. Q.E.D.

engage in the spending patterns of the middle class,
Sorry, it won't work that way. See Reynold's Law. (ht Insty) The people in question don't have the cultural traits of the middle class to support such activities.
Of more moment is the effect on the price of drugs.

Bashar Assad is a bad man, but whoever replaces him will very likely do nothing to protect the remaining one million Christians there from a possible genocide
IMO, Bashar Assad problem is that, unlike his father, he wasn't bad enough
[Salon] It’s one of the enduring mysteries of Barack Obama’s presidency, as it sinks toward the sunset: How did this suave and intelligent guy, with the cosmopolitan demeanor, the sardonic sense of humor and the instinct for an irresistible photo-op, end up running the most hidden, most clandestine and most secrecy-obsessed administration in American history? And what does the fact that nobody in the 2016 campaign -- not Bernie Sanders, not Hillary Clinton, not anybody -- ever talks about this mean for the future? The answer to the second question is easy: Nothing good. The answer to the first one might be that those things are unrelated: Personality doesn’t tell us anything about policy, and our superficial judgments about political leaders are often meaningless.
Bill Moyers warned me about this some years ago, when I asked him how he evaluated George W. Bush as a person. He wasn’t much interested in character or personality in politics, he said. Lyndon Johnson had been one of the most difficult people he’d ever known, and Moyers had never liked him, but Johnson was an extraordinarily effective politician. I wasn’t sharp enough to ask the obvious follow-up question, which was whether Johnson’s personal flaws had fed into his disastrous policy errors in Vietnam.
Bill Moyers has forgotten more about politics than I will ever know, but the thing is, I do perceive a relationship between surface and substance, and I believe we learn something important about people almost right away. George W. Bush was profoundly incurious about the world, and insulated by layers of smarter people and money. Richard Nixon was always a creep. Bill Clinton wanted to make you cry and get your panties off. Ronald Reagan never had any idea what day it was. Barack Obama seems like a smart, funny, cool guy, and maybe he’s too much of all those things for his own good. Maybe we will look back decades from now and perceive the Obama paradox -- the baffling relationship between his appealing persona and his abysmal record on surveillance, government secrecy and national security -- in a different light. For one thing, whatever they told him between November of 2008 and January of 2009 must have been really scary.
I called up John Kiriakou, a former CIA agent who spent 23 months in federal prison thinking this stuff over, to see if he could help. Kiriakou is one of the nine government leakers or whistleblowers that the Obama White House and/or the Justice Department has sought to prosecute under the Espionage Act, a law passed under Woodrow Wilson during World War I that was meant to target double agents working for foreign governments. (Among the other eight actual or prospective defendants are Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden.) Under all previous presidents, incurious George included, the Espionage Act was used for that purpose exactly three times. If you’re keeping score, that’s nine attempted prosecutions in seven years, versus three in 91 years.
