I like how the Republican establishment still wants to fight every side in Syria - ISIS, Assad, Russia, yeehaw. They should just lie about it. Remember when Dubya campaigned as being against nation building?
These so called Trump controversies are old. He already said the 9/11, Iraq, Bush stuff a couple months ago. Not sure if it’ll matter.
Yeah, I was really hoping that at least on of the hosts of the Sunday talk shows would have the balls to ask Rubio or Cruz or McConnell to look into the camera and promise that if it were February 14, 2008, and Ginsburg had just dropped dead while Bush was President, he would still be saying we should wait until after the election to appoint her replacement.
Welcome to politics. Democrats said they should not confirm another GWB SCOTUS nomination even before February 14, 2008. Now those same politicians, and I mean the exact same people, are very concerned with upholding the Constitution.
On further review (and googling) it seems like people are saying that Cruz said “Right now, speak to them in Spanish, if you want”. That would make Cruz’s Spanish correct but it seems like an odd thing for him to say to Rubio in Spanish. To recap, it can be:
Trump is getting crucified on conservative talk show radio. Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh have been ranting against him on their shows. We’ll see if this translates to Trump losing voters in SC.
But in context, no, it doesn’t mean what all the wingnuts have been saying it does.
Big surprise, I know.
After saying that Senate Democrats had accepted Administration assurances that Roberts and Alito were mainstream conservative judges who would operate within the precedents and decisions of the Rehnquist Court, but had found out otherwise when it was too late, Schumer said the following:
One by one, Trump is sowing doubt among his followers about the major institutions of the right wing.
First, of course, the GOP establishment and its backers.
Second, Fox News.
And now, talk radio.
And of course, talk radio has largely been in his corner up to this point, so their turning on him is as much a problem for their own credibility as anything else.
Whether or not Trump wins the nomination, the Republican coalition is never going to be the same.
QFT. And the scary thing is, the mainstream pundits will still treat the two parties as basically equivalent, with the only difference being that one’s left of center, and the other’s to the right.
