The 2016 Republican candidates

I would check before accepting it. And I would certainly check and have a cite ready before posting it. It’s not that hard – it usually only takes a minute or two.

And you didn’t answer my question.

Did you read Post #1012? You know, the one where I showed that it certainly appears that he is well on his way to doing so? Moody’s doesn’t issue warnings just for kicks.

So Lindsey Graham is just another whack-a-doodle. If elected, he would deploy the military against Congress.

Focus…focus…

I’d wait for him to clarify, except probably not enough people are listening to him for it to matter. He’ll probably never realize how stupid he was to say this.

Then you’re cool withthe President bringing the U.S. military into D.C. to force Congress to act on issues he regards as important?

[QUOTE=Lindsay Graham]
And here’s the first thing I would do if I were president of the United States. I wouldn’t let Congress leave town until we fix this. I would literally use the military to keep them in if I had to. We’re not leaving town until we restore these defense cuts. We are not leaving town until we restore the intel cuts.…

Sure, let’s resolve differences between the executive and legislative branches by bringing in the military! Why should such actions be limited to countries whose major exports include bananas? (Sheesh, even most of them have gotten past that in recent decades.)

I guess it’s too late to hope for a GOP that’s not insane.

ETA: Ninja’d by BobLibDem.

FTW!

Can I put $10 on the candidate who mentions “rape” in a totally insane way to make it to the sweet 16 or elite 8?

No, you can’t; that would not narrow the field.

OBAMA: Ha! What a loon! I never even would have thought of . . . of . . .

[cartoon light bulb appears over Obama’s head]

His staff just said that the statement “I would literally use the military to keep them in if I had to” was not meant to be taken literally.

That is hilarious, both in a grammatical and political sense.

Rand Paul works on his down-with-the-kidz approach:

A few years ago Alec Baldwin said, “You know your party has a problem when someone asks, ‘How did the rape guy do?,’ and you have to ask, ‘Which one?’”

Huckabee’s a huckster, peddling a bullshit “cure” for diabetes.

Piss poor bass player as well. Not that it matters. But still…

Well, we better start taking The Donald more seriously!

This makes me happy.

Is there a universe in which Donald Trump would release his tax returns or file the requisite disclosure forms? Perhaps there is, but it isn’t the one that we live in. The purpose of Trump’s exploratory committee is to get Trump’s name in the news.

So, that means the WH might well fall under control of that parasitic extraterrestrial mind-controlling organism that lives atop Donald’s scalp?! :eek:

I wouldn’t bet on it. Trumps’ not even much of a conservative. He’s more Perot than Ted Cruz. Minus the folksiness that made voters overlook Perot’s vast wealth. Trump’s from New York. Not gonna fly.
