Cruz has gotten an endorsement from a right-wing preacher who's publicly stated that Oprah may be the Anti-Christ among other stupid things l.
That wouldn't really be news, except that Cruz has publicly thanked the dude for his endorsement.
Trump isn't going to take anyone messing with his VP lying down.
I can't believe he said he wanted Oprah as his VP and got no backlash from his base.
He panders.
He's a panderer.
He'll say and do anything to convince people to like him.
The fact that he can make the base believe he is just saying it like he sees it is what makes him such a good panderer. Romney could never pander that well. McCain could never pander that well either.
Of course Trump is pro-life. He needs more warboys.
A proud political tradition going back to at least Conscience of a Conservative, nominally written by Goldwater. "Well, I read the book. I even agreed with parts of it."
Has Trump actually shared why he switched on abortion? Or did he just gloss over that because the real reason is "political expediency"?
Only thing I ever saw was a pretty vague story about a friend having a child and loving it despite having considered an abortion. Not a very good story to base such a change on given that it seems to imply it always turns out well to decide to not get an abortion, and a person personally deciding to not get an abortion isn't really something the pro-choice people are against.
Q: Evangelicals want to feel secure that they're going to have a nominee that's solid on those social issues.
A: One thing about me, I'm a very honorable guy. I'm pro-life, but I changed my view a number of years ago. One of the primary reasons I changed [was] a friend of mine's wife was pregnant, and he didn't really want the baby. He was crying as he was telling me the story. He ends up having the baby and the baby is the apple of his eye. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to him. And you know here's a baby that wasn't going to be let into life. And I heard this, and some other stories, and I am pro-life.
Q: So those stories did change you, they came around and changed you?
A: They changed me. Yeah, they changed my view as to that, absolutely.

i think it was the 1st debate(maybe 2nd) that he rambled on about friends that were gonna have an abortion but then decided not to and they love their kid so abortions are bad....
Donald Trump said Saturday that his supporters are so loyal that he would not lose backers even if he were to shoot someone in the middle of downtown Manhattan.
"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, okay, and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay?" Trump said at a rally in Sioux Center, Iowa as the audience laughed. "It's, like, incredible."
If there wasn't video, I'd think this was satire. And the thing is he's not wrong.
So Trump is now openly trolling his own supporters. Half of them will not realize this, and the other half will approve because he's also trolling the media, and the ends justify the means.
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

Well, it depends. Did he shoot a Democrat?
Also, I cannot imagine the high that Trump must get when he goes on stage in front of thousands of people and says "I could shoot a guy and you all would love me for it!" and they cheer.

Every day now I get a Republican coming to my door to beg for my vote. The other day I was assured in no uncertain terms that the candidate was a born-again Christian and today I was visited by the candidate himself, who held up a sign and asked me what, on the sign, was the most important thing I considered.
The list was, "2nd Amendment Rights, Prayer in Schools, Pro-Life"... and so on. I said, "I'm a Democrat," and they hurriedly excused themselves and walked off.
I yelled after them, "Aw, c'mon! I'm not that scary, am I?"
Literally up to "pure breed" rhetoric. What the fuck.
Trump's mother is from Scotland. I am sure having a problem with a parent being born in Mexico or Africa but not a parent being born in Scotland has a reasonable explanation that isn't racist as fuck.
This stuff is what I would expect from a person wearing a bullet necklace. There isn't a checkmark on twitter, but it does appear to be her twitter account and the tweets are over several years and from well before she became big via association with trump. News articles from before this also link to the twitter account.
Probably matters less than zero, but the Des Moines Register endorsed Rubio (for the primary, picked Clinton for the Dems) today.
They keep trying to make Rubio the establishment candidate but he's just not, I mean he polls in double digits barely but he's never even been in second place! He's even pulling out of Iowa to focus on South Carolina where he's also getting killed.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

i think Rubio jumped in to early. if he'd wait till next time or even 2024 i think he'd be in a better position to get that establishment candidate slot, plus he'd have a record to run on and probably more recognition too. maybe even a smaller field in which to stand out rather than the clown car we've had this time. am sure he'll try again though, assuming he doesn't get the nod this time.

To have a record to run on he'd have to actually do his job

which i'd assume he would be doing if he weren't involved in the current race. perhaps that's me being generous to Marco, but his campaign does seem to be the thing keeping him away from the Senate floor. if he'd sat this one out and still didn't do his job then yeah, he'd be a complete non starter in any future bid but he strikes me as being more overly ambitious than just outright dumb.

Government that governs least, governs best.
And with that philosophy, he's the greatest policy maker of all time.

What keeps him from the senate floor are his own two feet. Even before this campaign, his did fuck all that he was elected to do.

I'm not sure what this reflects more negatively on - Redditors or Trump supporters.

the sad thing is i really don't know if you're joking or not and i really don't want to check and find out.
Then he could give himself a presidential pardon!
:rotate:
tps://readthiscomicbook.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/img_05
But would he also get your apology for getting shot by him?
No, you would be apologizing to him per the Cheney Protocol.
But you can chuck that one, I trimmed on down to a forum friendlier size.
He thinks Hitler was doing gods work.
Cruz and his wife put out a statement personally thanking him for his endorsement and saying they are glad to have it.
And we all know how that completely sunk McCain's candidacy, right?
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
He has become Senator Rourke from Sin City.
Literally up to "pure breed" rhetoric. What the fuck.

That's marked from 2012 but has a picture from this year or 2015. It's fake.
(well probably fake. Forgot twitter updates avatars)
It appears to be her legit Twitter account.

This was the first time I'd seen him since, I think, Best in Show maybe?

Yeah my bad, I didn't even think about the image size limit. Thoughtless of me.

And since there were a few people calling him the savior of this cycle, he risked being Christie'd if he sat out.
Besides, this way he gets to be national news for a while and fall into a nice golden pillow at some consultancy when he fails to win the nomination.
