I think you’re right that a tipping point may be approaching. It’s petty of me, but if and when that happens I really want people to start asking him how it feels to have the taint of “loser” that makes everyone want to abandon him.
I am a little afraid that he will quit the race and the GOP will find someone else who has a chance to beat Hillary.
And Wolf Blitzer sat there like a bearded lump. No challenge.
Anderson Cooper brought it up during an interview with Mr. Khan.
Incidentally, Mr. Khan ripped Trump (another) new one over Trump’s Purple Heart and his incredibly tone deaf comment.
Is Blitzer that ignorant…or does he just not give a shit any more as long as he gets face time on air?
So the Secretary of State, not of Defense, is responsible for the rules of engagement?
No, the Senator from NY and the Illinois State Senate are responsible for the ROE.
(Khan died in 2004)
If I could only pop ahead to November 8 and know for sure that the Trumptanic was going to sink…
Just for the record, Colin Powell was Secretary of State in 2004.
Which makes even less sense blaming Clinton for Bhengazi. She has no authority to order a military response.
It’s Hillary that they’re accusing of messing up the rules of engagement, not Colin Powell. Or any Secretary of Defense.
Hillary was Senator from New York in 2004.
Who is this in response to?
Another thread asks the question*When did America stop being “great?”*and I didn’t have a good answer. But now an answer comes to mind:When Wolf Blitzer replaced Walter Cronkite as America’s premier news anchor.
A few posts back, you implied that the Trump spokesperson was wrong about which official determines rules of engagement – but that wasn’t their obvious error. Their obvious error, rather, was in failing to realize that Captain Khan died halfway through the Bush Administration.
Uh, yeah, I knew that. I was including my comment to point out that the Secretary of *State *does not decide rules of engagement, the Secretary of Defense does.
Gotcha. Simple miscommunication, obviously shared by others.
“Lesser included offense.”
If that happens, for whatever reason, I think the new nominee would still have a rough uphill climb, in terms of organization and fundraising, not to mention shaking off the stink of Trump and dealing with voters who wanted to vote for Trump instead of some insider. I think that helps counter the flood of relieved Republicans who’ll vote for that person.
And hey, at least we wouldn’t have Trump as president.
Don’t forget that the whole purpose of Trump’s campaign is personal profit. $$Millions of campaign expenses have gone directly to Trump and his companies. In May alone, the campaign paid $423,000 for the use of Mar-a-Lago, the private club in Florida that serves as Trump’s vacation home.
He’ll need the money. The main profit hope — building his brand-name value — seems to be backfiring.
In other words, the spokesperson was like having sex on an elevator.
Wrong on so many levels.
