Yep, seeing steam coming out of the treehouse, for sure.

And they so followed (promoted) everything

until they did the side step for Trump. Now breitbart needs sunshine (disinfectant).
Ugly, ugly, ugly, always was, always will be. Thing is, Trump has always bought what he wanted. It's probably why he has no respect for women, but beyond that he really doesn't have any skeletons. Cruz is a professional politician. It's very likely his bible thumping ass has some skeletons.
Neither sounds like a winner to me.

Donald says he alone can fix the ISIS crisis.
Also, it looks like he's going to start painting Ted Cruz as being unstable, of having mental health issues...and I haven't even read any news yet, those are just headlines I saw right off the bat this morning.
Good job, Donald, all that's left to do is gift wrap the Presidency for Hillary.

There is a theory this is what he's been secretly doing all along. If it turns out true Donald will go down in history as the greatest troll ever.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.

Wooo. I said that months ago in this thread. Wouldn't that be something if that were true. Oh man.

Today's Democratic Caucuses
News organizations are reporting record-breaking voter turn-outs for the Democratic caucuses in Washington and Alaska. Hawaiian Democrats will also caucus later today.
Bernie's got Washington in the bag, by a lot. He's expected to rake in about 70+% of the vote and earn around 70 delegates as compared to Hillary's 30 or so.
Even the birds like Bernie...
There are about 40 more delegates up for grabs in Alaska and Hawaii combined. Bernie can't catch up to Hillary today even if he wins all three states by 40 or more percentage points, but he's still in the game and bringing a lot of people into the party.

I've been listening to CNN as I putter around. I heard a man interviewed, he's a former Republican who jumped to Bernie's team and he said he was there to vote for Bernie because the polls show Bernie is the only one who can beat Donald. It was said the room was filled with (former) Republicans who think the same way.

A petition to allow guns inside the RNC has been signed by 22,000 people. They are pushing for the state of Ohio to override the hosting venue's rule of no firearms on the premises. Bitch please. These are people who can't control their tempers and they want to be allowed to have their weapons in there. Hahahaha!
On second thought, let 'em.

We just watched Friday's Bill Maher show.
It's not in the clip below, but it made me laugh when he talked about 5 women supposedly having extramarital affairs with Ted Cruz: “That’s where you close your eyes and imagine you’re fucking Newt Gingrich. I mean, really, even Bill Cosby’s pharmacist says, ‘I don’t think I’ve got anything strong enough for that.’
So, Maher made his formal choice between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

I finally had a chance to watch this morning's episode of Meet The Press. One of the topics discussed was Donald's interview with the editorial board of The Washington Post. It was a opportunity for him to talk about his vision for the future, his foreign policy, his ideas, etc. It was absurd. I'll enclose a link to the interview and there is audio of it as well.
A couple of highlights - he spent 550 words and several minutes defending the size of his hands.
- he wants libel laws loosened in some unspecified way so that he could more easily sue the media.
and this little gem - Post publisher Fred Ryan asked Trump if he would consider using a tactical nuclear strike against the forces of the Islamic State, were he president. Trump responded that he didn't want to "start the process of nuclear," then reminding the editors that he was "a counter-puncher."
"Remember, one thing that everybody has said, I’m a counter-puncher," Trump said. "Rubio hit me. Bush hit me. When I said low energy, he’s a low-energy individual, he hit me first. He spent, by the way -- he spent 18 million dollars’ worth of negative ads on me. That’s putting..."
Ryan jumped in. "This is about ISIS," he reminded Trump. "You would not use a tactical nuclear weapon against ISIS?"
"I’ll tell you one thing," Trump replied. "This is a very good looking group of people here. Could I just go around so I know who the hell I’m talking to?"

He is a counter puncher. Cruz put out that crap about Trumps wife first. I don't blame him for smacking Cruz around a bit. Bernie and Hillary do the same thing and it's only gonna get better as the summer progresses. Its like a year long Academy award special. I was reading that some college kids were in emotional turmoil from a chalk writing on a sidewalk "Trump 2016" ...........these are our future leaders? All is lost.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

I'd pay more credence to the fact that Trump is close friends with David Pecker the CEO of the National Enquirer. Odd the way no one is talking about that.

You are drinking the Trump PR Kool-aid big time, Mags. "I'm a counter-puncher", Trumps says. Yeah, right.
What punch did Carly Fiorina throw at Trump to get the "look at that face, would you vote for that face?" punch? None. She was simply rising in the polls and getting a lot of buzz after a strong debate performance.
What punch did Ben Carson throw at Donald Trump to get characterized as a psychopath and likened to a child molester? None. He was simply rising in the polls after getting a lot of media attention.
What punch did Megyn Kelley throw at Donald Trump to get characterized as an obsessed, unfair, unprofessional, crazy woman on the rag? None. She asked him a question about his OWN WORDS in regards to women. Just like she and the other moderators asked every other candidate about their own words, bad records, and criticisms against them.
Those are just three of the tons of examples of Trump throwing first punches at candidates and others -- on the debate stage, in the press, and on Twitter. They aren't 'counter-punches'. I don't know if they're sincere seriously childish reactions, or planned strategies to get certain types of viewers to rally behind his reality-show like drama, or what. But, it's been working for Trump so far.
Whether Cruz had any involvement in the stupid Melania Trump ad or not, Donald Trump could have left his counter-punching to making fools outta the anti-Trump PAC and Cruz for even going so low. He chose to instead make it a "whose wife is hotter?" shitfest and get involved in spreading rumors about Cruz's sex life.
All of which is very good for the Democrats when it comes to general election time, in my opinion. It's blatantly false, Maggot, to claim that Clinton and Sanders are engaging in the same kinds of shitfests as the GOP candidates, Trump and Cruz specifically. They sometimes attack each other on their records or call out each other's public statements. But, they are not calling each other names, insulting each others' spouses, or bringing each others' personal and sex lives into the political forum.

That's fine and not unexpected. I wouldn't read too much into it. Hillary will be the nominee.

I like Bernie but he's getting a little bitchy about those who fund raise for Hillary, this particular time it's George Clooney. He said tickets for his events are $15-50 while the dinner George is hosting is getting donations of over $33,000 a plate with 2 tickets at Hillary's table going for $353,000.

If her last name wasn't Clinton I imagine you'd agree with Bern.

Nope, not when it comes to fundraising.
