A legend in his own mind.
I have brought millions of people into the Republican Party, while the Dems are going down.

I assume every advisor he has is nothing but a spineless sycophant.

Trump's "universal" health care plan.
Yet, when Mr. Trump has discussed health care during interviews and debates, he has vowed that his proposal will be universal, covering all Americans. “We’re not going to let people die in the streets,” he has said. During the first Republican debate in August, Mr. Trump praised the single-payer health-care systems in place in Canada and Scotland.

Once again I have to ask:
Why aren't we simply gathering the names of the uninsured and then letting insurance companies bid on covering them?

Trump: Love single-payer
Trump: We'll repeal ACA.
Trump: We won't let people die
Trump: Only losers won't have insurance.

I don't know if Donnie Dickweed has ever been to a hospital in Scotland or waited to see a physician over there but the NHS ain't deserving of aping.

Turns out talking about the size of your dick in a debate is a first for American politics.

It was like watching old, white dudes reenact the frat house scene from Neighbors.

Well this definetly is true.

And Trump rolled with it, in his own special way.

It was pretty good popcorn watching for a while until they ran out of angry steam and just agreed on general conservative talking points. Turns out the economy is bad right now, and the democrats are to blame.

It's amazing to me that this is where we are in politics in the U.S.

On the one hand, It's true that Trump is bringing up the issues that other candidates wouldn't touch...

If you mean the debate, it's not all that surprising. We've been here before.

Both those candidates had brains with an IQ over 100.

Oh, there's no doubt that these candidates are some of the dumbest we've ever had. But in terms of insults and attacks it's nothing new.

Trump fellates Patton while arguing laws prohibiting torture are making us weak and slow.
“I think we are weak. We cannot beat ISIS. We should beat ISIS very quickly. General Patton would have had ISIS down in about three days,” Trump said, referring to the World War II military commander.

You remember Patton?
Patton was a staunch fatalist, and believed in reincarnation. He believed that he may have been a military leader killed in action in Napoleon's army in a previous life, or a Roman legionary.


Pic from a Trump rally, I'm told this is genuine:

WTF?!?

I don't think that's worth mocking any more than a good leader who believes firmly in the christian dogma. None of it makes more sense than the other.

I'm sure the pictures are genuine, but the players are not. There was a picture floating around on facebook showing KKK guys holding up Trump signs, and you could see one of them was a black guy. Lots of well-poisoning happening.

Or is that astroturfing? I forget my terminology for dirty pool.

I find it convenient as hell everyone who believes in past lives inevitably were major historical persons or one of their hangers on. You never hear about the guy that shoveled shit in ten lives as a peasant.
