Lindsey Graham: 'My Party Has Gone Batshit Crazy'
Sen. Lindsey Graham is disgusted with the GOP's embrace of Donald Trump: "My party has gone batshit crazy." Well, I would say turnabout is fair play, the RNC and associated idiots have been Batsh@t crazy for the last 3 elections or so. Maybe the Republicrat voters are just fed up with the imperial families who run both parties and want to dictate their policies and laws to us, and then hand us the bill on top of it. No thanks, to all of them. BS crazy is ok if it means cutting them down even a little.
Trump will easily win, with largely the tactic Obama used in 2008, running on a very vague theme, in his case: "Make America Great Again," similar in its generality to "Hope and Change." The difference is, Trump's slogan has powerful emotionally positive resonance, appealing to nationalistic pride, whereas Obama's tactic was intentionally neutral, since "Change through Socialism and Legal Thievery" probably wouldn't have gotten him elected. Obama may be smooth, articulate and smart, but Trump understands people at a deeper level. Therein lies his paradox: a seemingly narcissistic blowhard, yet with a deep capacity for empathy. This is as good as it gets, folks!
Best real world explanation I''ve ever heard.
So NO, he is not the lesser of two evils. The Democrat/Socialists disgust me; but I fear the quick loss of liberty in the camouflage of an unprincipled Salesman.
Trump is right out there telling you where he is at. Hillary is hidden behind layers of emails and lies. At least Sanders tells us where HE is at.

You're dealing with (in the nicest terms) a professional marketer, a salesman. He brags about it all the time and it goes right over the heads of most. He sells what you want to hear, but his end game is to get more power and grow his brand. It's what he always does. One cannot afford to hide from it.
I'm hoping to change the minds of others willing to investigate beyond the superficial rhetoric of a master marketer with a penchant for political power.

"When men reduce their virtues to the approximate, then evil acquires the force of an absolute, when loyalty to an unyielding purpose is dropped by the virtuous, it's picked up by scoundrels—and you get the indecent spectacle of a cringing, bargaining, traitorous good and a self-righteously uncompromising evil."

1) It is often not easy to tell which choice is worse when the two candidates are bad in different ways.
2) The "not-so-bad" candidate may have a better shot at implementing his/her agenda. For example, here in Nevada we have a Republican governor that was able to push a huge tax increase through a Republican-dominated legislature. A Democrat in the governor's office would have had a much harder time accomplishing this.
I really fear Hildebeast, although Sanders is more honest and pushes us where most of the voters want to go in the end anyway. Hildebeast is bought and paid for by Wall St and Goldman- that is scary since they will mess with the money and steal from us that way as well as raising taxes on all of us.
I dont think Trump is bought and paid for. I like the fact he runs his campaign on his own dime. He isnt perfect, but he will speak what needs to be spoken, be good in foreign relations and stick up for the USA for a change, isnt muslim-leaning, and will be good for the economy here
I say we're in the dumper regardless of who wins I. November. And Trump is bs'ing his supporters. He is as conservative as Hillary.
Trump isnt spouting that stuff at least. He will negotiate better deals than Obamacare, or the Iran deal (both of which Hillary supports ), and he is against political correctness and basically tells us where he is at (The only other one that does that is Sanders- and at least he tells us straight up what he would do.
The congress isnt to be trusted, and the only way to stop them is for a presidential veto.
Hillary Clinton's shift from declaimer of Big Finance shenanigans to collaborator with Goldman—the firm has donated between $250,000 and $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation—prompts an obvious question: Can the former secretary of state cultivate populist cred while hobnobbing with Goldman and pocketing money from it and other Wall Street firms? Last year, she gave two paid speeches to Goldman Sachs audiences. (Her customary fee is $200,000 a speech.)
The problem is, the pea brain sheeple cannot grasp using your position for personal gain is a bad thing, they think it is normal business, so that is why they can look past it. As well as all the other criminal crap we have been subjected to.
His brand of koolaid is more effective than Jones. Here is more of Trump "telling it like it is" from 2013 and 2006.

If you want someone who can win an election, you should probably go with someone who can win a primary.
Not voting (or voting third-party) is a valid option when both major-party candidates are unacceptable. And who knows what junk Romney would have been able to get through a Republican Congress if he had been elected President. Here in Nevada a Republican governor was able to ram a huge tax increase through a Republican legislature, something that a Democrat would never have been able to do.
Thanks for your comment.
The GOP will choose someone they can control.
If they have enough dirt on Trump then he will be allowed to run for the GOP. If not, the GOP will make sure Trump can't be elected.
noodles who just "go along to get along" and never
do a d--n thing about repealing Obama care? Or
anything else?
He has shown that he will use anyone as a stooge depending on the audience of the moment. He sells "Trump", at any cost, using innuendo, rumor, doublespeak, threats and the actions of a spoiled child. His election is the quickest path to fascism.
Your comments above are exactly what Hildebeast does.
1.) He's not 'their' guy..
2.) The ilk of Karl Rove, etc. are not going to be getting new $300k govie jobs in a Trump administration.
3.) I suspect he will eliminate a lot of government overhead, I just can't picture him tolerating waste & fat.
4.) He will obviously hold departments accountable. "You're Fired" has never before been uttered in the corridors of the federal government, but needs to be on a daily basis.
5.) He can't be bended & molded by threats of pulling or making campaign contributions. No one will have any control over him.
6.) Obviously, a lot of large American business really likes the free import of made-in-China and Vietnam crap. The anti-Trump attack-ads PACs are going to be flying... Hillary is pretty hooked-up with Walmart, they stand to lose a lot from free trade going away.
I think on his own, he certainly is a crazy SOB, but really think Eric & Ivanka hold tremendous sway over him and they are quite grounded. There will be a lot of times when they just call him and say "Dad.. WTF? you are embarrassing us..." And he will calm down again for a while, you can already see it in his campaign.
Nonetheless, fully expect the real dirt & mud slinging machines to come out... it's pretty obvious the whole David Duke & KKK nonsense is a fabrication of Jeff Roe (Cruz's Campaign Manager), that is 100% in his past performance dirty-campaigning playbook... All these guys are about to be jobless, its going to be very ugly for a while. We'll see the real 'ilk' of all of them come out when they are unemployed and jump to the Hillary camp to run 'get out the vote' efforts. I saw that, and quite honestly, if someone had told me the KKK had endorsed me, I would be like "who? they still exist?". Actually, I looked it up... many, many more people claim to be abducted by aliens each year than are members of the KKK. That's Jeff Roe - Google his prior Missouri state campaign tactics...

Fat Slob. Maybe he will die of a heart attack while eating a jelly donut... we can only hope, one less Medicare suckling piglet to support in later years...
Trump has no problem rejecting people for petty reason. If he had wanted to, he knows how to take petty cheap shots at people.
Yes. Usually it's best to let those people self-destruct rather than explain to them or others that he looks like an idiot. As you say, it's not working here. If you want to see someone tear Trump apart, John Oliver made him look like a stupid huckster: https://youtu.be/DnpO_RTSNmQ
Regarding the his failure to respond to the white supremacist comment, if he were generally reluctant to condemn people, I would just think the question caught him off guard and he was too polite to respond off-hand. Turmp, however, is not someone afraid to be rude. It makes people wonder if he agrees with racists or at least wants their votes.
Unfortunately, I'm sure that was probably the 15th interview of the morning and he is probably going 20 hours a day right now at least, its easier said than done... Its not a fair point of criticism, all politicians have momentary gaffes. I still remember GW Bush walking away from an event where some reporter crashed and was just assailing him with BS and as he was walking away, he didn't realize his wireless mic was still on - "What an asshole" is all he said. Of course, that is all that played on the news, but the guy was being an asshole.
Lindsey Graham just needs to go ahead and join the Democrat party. He doesn't even qualify as a RINO Republican.
That's because all the RINOs are terrified. their certain that Trump will pluck the golden goose, fry her eggs, and send all the K Streeters to GITMO.
If you think that's crazy, watch what happens if Hillary gets in.
The truly shameful thing is that the two front runners are miscreants who have yet to be held responsible for their crimes. Since Mrs. Clinton's crimes are far worse than Mr. Trump's we will be forced into the unenviable, ancient situation of having to pick the lesser of two evils.

They are so 'out of touch' that they actually think their BS & rhetoric is at all relevant to the voters.
He backed out of the primary with basically 0%, and he comes out with a statement like that as if he's 'relevant' and 'respected'. I guess he's not the problem... its everyone else.
I don't think piss and shit are dirty words any more. Lately, you hear those words used more and more on TV shows.
They have evolved from "dirty" to slang.
The f-word will evolve next.
Irrevocable, what a delightful adjective.
- not able to be changed, reversed, or recovered.
If the losses go to a candidate with principles and integrity, my dreams could be realized. In that case, the heavy losses will also be experienced by the Dem candidate and the third party candidate will have a plurality.
It is the best peaceful chance for individual liberty.
