I’m certainly not here to sing his praises. I think he is of average intelligence and his success comes solely from having exceptional personal drive and ambition.

I suspect you’re also lumping in any ideas that someone holds that you disagree with, no matter how well reasoned their position might actually be.

That’s what everyone thought in 2006 until a certain Junior Senator came on the scene and stole it all. Why take the chance that some little known Republican Congresscritter would suddenly grab the spotlight?

It sure is. He is an SNL character or Daily Show bit come to life. He is doing to the GOP what Chevy Chase did to Gerald Ford.

I think he probably referenced the time Howard Stern ran for governor of NY and his ratings went up nationally. Then Stern dropped out of the race. Trump could have gotten in for a while, made some waves, gotten a lot of press coverage and then dropped out at some point. But his narcissism has turned this into a…

I think he suffers from narcassistic personality disorder and thrives on being the center of attention. He started as a “normal” candidate and has been growing increasingly erratic. The more attention he gets, the more he doubles down on whatever gives him that attention and adoration. And anyone who attempts to pop…

It’s the only thing that makes sense. Trump is not an idiot and he is very media savvy. Couple that with reports that he met with Bill Clinton who asked him to run as a Republican. I have to believe he is the ultimate false flag operation to discredit and destroy the GOP to ensure that Hillary wins.

We’ve come to a point in our history where popular opinion can not accept imperfections in someone’s legacy. If they did something considered wrong, then their entire legacy must be thrown out and forgotten on the trash heap of history. There is no room in this collective group think to acknowledge that people are…

The training is that when faced with a lethal threat, you shoot until that person is no longer a threat. That can take one bullet or ten. But, universally, when the person is on the ground shot and not moving, they are no longer a threat and you don’t need to shoot them another 12 times.

The only reason I want to visit Chicago is to try the Webber Grill Restaurant where everything, including the desserts, is cooked on giant charcoal kettle drums in the middle of the restaurant. Maybe I can make it a one day stop over on the way to the west coast or something.....

Metabolic rate could have something to do with it. Like, do you run or do aerobics while your husband is a couch potato?

So true. If the GOP would stop narrowly defining Conservative as “Caucasian WASPS and Episcopalians”, and embrace Muslims, Catholics of Color, etc., they’d be able to revitalize the party the way they keep saying they want to, but never actually doing anything constructive.

I can understand and respect anyone who believes life begins at the moment of conception and disagrees with abortion in specific circumstances, like just because having a kid would be “inconvenient”. It’s the pro-life people who take a hardline, no time ever approach, including when the life of the mother is…

It’s not that simple. Look at Hispanics who are religiously conservative, often Catholic, who would agree with many of the conservative tenants of the GOP like being pro-life and pro-traditional family values, but vote democrat. Look at southern black Baptists who are almost militantly anti-gay, but vote democrat.

It’s three sliders stacked on top of each other. Some places serve them like that on a skewer.

They’re people who firmly believe that life begins at the moment of conception and that intentionally ending a pregnancy is ending a life. When you put it that black & white, it’s easy to come down on the pro-life side.

Policies of prohibition have never worked. For anything. If there is a need, someone will try to fill it. Whether that is abortion before RvW, alcohol during prohibition, prostitution in the Middle East today, illegal narcotics today, or firearms. Making something illegal has NEVER made it go away completely. Instead,…

While every action movie cliche believes the exact opposite.

The old maxim: a handgun is for fighting your way to your rifle.

OK, so I’m Pro-2A and think the government should not be able to prevent law abiding citizens from owning and concealed carrying firearms.
