Stephanie, I'm asking you nicely...please stop posting off topic in my thread. Start your own, please.
What exactly is the topic? Stupid analogies?
You're closer than the inbred twins, well done.
You don't think Trump is harming the GOP and the establishment can't do much about it? Why not? You think he's good for the party? How so?
Say what?
No, I'm serious.
So your topic is Trump and the GOP eh?
I'm beginning to think that Trump is a puppet of the Clinton campaign. That is just what I am starting to think.
This was my reading this morning. . . .
Donald Trump: A False Flag Candidate?
A warmongering racist lunatic lets loose – and he’s crazy like a fox
Donald Trump: A False Flag Candidate? - Antiwar.com Original
Finally, one has to wonder about the provenance of the Trump phenomenon. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, it’s been attributed to a populist upsurge against the regnant elites, who are so out of touch with the people that they never saw what was coming. The media, we are told, are biased against Trump – this is one of The Donald’s chief complaints – and now The People are rising up against the Washington-New York know-it-alls with their “big words” and pretentious airs.
Yet this analysis is lacking in one key ingredient: the facts. For the reality is that the media, far from ignoring Trump, have lavished so much attention on him that he’s eating up coverage that would otherwise go to the rest of the crowded Republican field. And that may be a clue as to what’s really going on here….
The usual “mainstream” media tactics regarding a political outsider they hate is to ignore him or her: the example of Ron Paul should suffice to make this point. Indeed, Jon Stewart pointed this out in a memorable “Daily Show” segment, and it took Paul three runs for the White House to get their attention. Trump has suffered no such fate: quite the opposite, in fact. The Donald’s every demagogic pronouncement is faithfully recorded and broadcast far and wide. Over a hundred reporters crowded into his latest appearances in Las Vegas and Phoenix. Jeb Bush, for all the many millions stuffed into his campaign coffers, couldn’t buy that kind of exposure.
This gift to the Trump campaign is being celebrated by Democratic politicos and consultants as if it were manna from heaven. The Republican “brand,” they aver, is being sullied beyond redemption, and they’re watching this unanticipated and providential miracle from the peanut gallery with unalloyed glee.
And yet … just how unanticipated is it?
Jeb Bush Floats Donald Trump-Hillary Clinton Conspiracy Theory
Jeb Bush Floats Donald Trump-Hillary Clinton Conspiracy Theory
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush responded to a poll promoted by Donald Trump -- which showed the billionaire holding on to 68 percent of his supporters if he ran as an independent -- by floating the theory that the GOP frontrunner's candidacy might be a false flag operation planted by Hillary Clinton.
Is Donald Trump Running a False Flag Campaign to Help Hillary Clinton?

It would, of course, be incredible—and virtually unprecedented in modern American politics—if a major party’s top candidate were to run a campaign for the purpose of electing that party’s most imposing political opponent. So what exactly supports the theory that Trump is such a candidate? Though he has recently rebranded himself as the only Republican brave enough to speak the truth about undocumented immigrants, his past associations and political positions suggest the theory is, if not entirely believable, not exactly implausible, either.
There are three main lines of argument supporting the assertion that Donald Trump is running a false flag campaign:
- [1]Trump cannot possibly be considered either a Republican or a conservative, once you account for his apparent political beliefs (many of which are remarkably liberal) and concrete policy proposals (or lack thereof).
- [2]Trump has close ties to both Hillary and Bill Clinton, and has in fact donated to her and other Democrats’ campaigns in the past.
- [3]Trump’s apparent intent to run on an independent ticket—should he lose the Republican nomination—indicates he cares more about splitting the Republican vote (essentially ensuring the election of a Democratic president) than he does about actually electing Republicans. He also lacks the wherewithal and/or long-term funding to mount a legitimate presidential campaign were he to become the actual Republican nominee.
Let’s discuss each of these in detail:
Nah...he's all the GOP's creation. They've been feeding him since his birther shit a few years ago and now he's broken his bonds and is ransacking the village...and the GOP can just watch.
We must remember that this "birther conspiracy crap" was born among the supporters of Hillary, and was a last ditch attempt in the Clinton campaign against Obama in the primaries last time around. Although no links can be tied directly to Hillary herself, that should be enough to give us some clue as to what is going on. . .
To ignore that the elites control both parties is to not understand how the Hegelian dialectic works. It really is.
When you let your partisan likes and dislikes cloud your judgement, you loose sight of more important facts. Trump will sell out to the highest bidder. Remember, he's a deal maker. Trump isn't about "Making America great again." Trump is all about "Making Trump great again."
