    In a state where registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans 44% to 31% it's not too surprising that an incumbent Democrat would win against a novice Republican.

    But, what the hell, Mags? Did I say I'm a Fiorina supporter? Color me undecided so far except that Trump has earned a "NO WAY IN HELL" from me.

    My mistake... I guess that's when she said "My daughter"

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...lculating-tragic-stepdaughter-s-mom-says.html

    Her use of the phrase has been reported elsewhere; she used it in an interview with the Des Moines Register, while her campaign website for the California senate shows how she mentioned it in 2010, saying of she and her husband: 'They have a daughter and two granddaughters. Another daughter is recently deceased.'

    Yet it was Patricia who was granted custody of the girls following her divorce from their father.


    When approached by Daily Mail Online, Patricia would only say: 'There are two sides to every story. That's not how I remember it. Lori was my daughter and I grieve her every day.'

    According to Todd Bartlem, there is nothing surprising in Carly's tendency to place herself at the front and center of every narrative.

    'She is pathologically narcissistic and all she cares about is her,' he said. 'Nothing holds together with her.

    'I got kind of suspicious of her towards the end of the marriage because she had no old friends. She had nobody that she knew in the past, and I thought, "God that's kind of weird."'

    Today Bartlem believes the reason lies in Carly's 'modus operandi' of 'dropping people' as soon as they have fulfilled their useful purpose in her life. Certainly it's what he believes happened to him.

    'I had no utility and that's what the judgment was,' he said. 'If you aren't useful to her, your time is over. She learned that in business school. I was heartbroken. It was brutal.'

    Bartlem claims that when Carly walked out on him she did so without leaving so much as a forwarding address or phone number. A year after the divorce, he claims, she pulled up in the driveway of their former home and calmly said, 'I will never see you again.'

    True to her word, all contact ceased.

    You mean, set up nuclear missiles in Poland, not talk to Putin and surround Europe with group troops? LOL

    I'm not saying you are a Carly supporter. Anyone that supports Carly is a fool

    But I respect your "NO WAY IN HELL" vote for Trump. Can you respect my "DAMN STRAIGHT" vote for Trump?

    Sure. I just asked for an explanation of your thinking and you gave it.

    Don't know what The Donald's sexual orientation has to do with anything, though. ;)

    BLITZER: If Hillary Clinton had been the Democratic nominee, as opposed to Barack Obama, would you have endorsed her or John McCain?

    TRUMP: Well, I would rather not say, because I don’t have to worry about that.

    But Hillary’s a great friend of mine. Her husband is a great friend of mine. They’re fantastic people. I mean, they’re — you know, the thing, they get a bad knock. She’s a very nice woman. People think, tough, tough. And I guess she’s tough, but she’s a very nice woman. And he’s a very nice guy. We know all about the smarts and how smart they are, and all, but they are good people.

    http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczy...ain-he-wanted-clinton-as-obamas-vp#.mpmVOZ9QE

    “I know her very well,” Trump said. “She’s very talented. And she has a husband that I also like very much. I think she’s going to get the nomination rather easily.”


    And those gems don't do the same in your world?

    But, what you've failed to mention is Trump actually said "I have endorsed and supported the Clintons".

    Carly has openly said and even accused others of being Clintonites.

    Its like sometimes in an attempt to further your point, you don't realize you say things that contradict your own point.

    My point, which has always been my point, is Carly will say whatever she thinks will progress her agenda.

    Trump has publicly said "I did support Clinton. It's good business", knowing this would hurt his conservative views. Not a typical politician...

    Trump is such a rock star. If he becomes president, is there anything this guy can't do? Like seriously, if you wrote up a fantasy life you'd like to have.... Rich, celebrity, models for wives, president. He is near the top of the list

    This post seems pretty childish. Unless you've actually witnessed it. Did you see trumps asshole actually shoot out gold dust in person?

    The fact that trump is probably the most liberal Gop candidate ever is the only chance the republicans have. That's a good thing, not a bad thing as the article suggests

    In addition to #5, which is obvious, #2 & #3 are the most significant IMO.

    Now where's the list of reasons why he could win the nomination, starting with the built-in name recognition, his willingness to attack anyone in any manner that might be worthwhile, and the fact that he's the only candidate guaranteed to at least survive the inevitable war of attrition that will pare the number of GOP candidates down to probably 6 between now and the primaries.

    Exactly!!!! In order to win the general, you must win independent votes. They lean more towards the middle (obviously). No far left or far right candidate will do that.
