2016 elections - because it's never too early

[The Minsky Moment]

Nuking the hell out of ISIS (and Mecca, while we are at it) would be the best thing ever.

But only after we drop the bomb on all the internet trolls.

I didn't pay that much attention to his interviews during primary, so I missed this 'gem'.

DICKERSON: They talk about the presidency and who has the finger on the button. The United States has not used nuclear weapons since 1945. When should it?

TRUMP: Well, it is an absolute last stance. And, you know, I use the word unpredictable. You want to be unpredictable.

And somebody recently said — I made a great business deal. And the person on the other side was interviewed by a newspaper. And how did Trump do this? And they said, he`s so unpredictable. And I didn`t know if he meant it positively or negative. It turned out he meant it positively.

I've no idea what any of that means.

The press just keeps hammering poor Hillary. 

The "hatred" between the two is ridiculous. Didn't she attend his last wedding? Didn't he call Bill before deciding to run?

Turns out Kasich is a moron after all.

Do we have any reliable news sites? With a quick Google I only found an echo chamber on several blogs.

Oh, nevermind, I found it for myself on the Concord Monitor. They've only a snippet saying he said then and then quickly switched topics. Seems like you'd have to be a really thin-skinned atheist to have that be the reason that you hate Kasich.

The Dallas Morning News endorses its first Democrat for president since World War II, says Trump's not a real Republican, and they know 'em when they see 'em.

Well he's certainly not a conservative.

I wish I could agree with that, but I think he's actually sort of his own brand of populist conservative.  Pretty much the opposite of a Rand Paul conservative.

He's right wing, but not conservative.  His own "Brand" is right wing populism.  If you want a label, think of him as an "Al Capone" Republican.

Depends on how you define "conservative".  I think he's along the lines of a Pat Buchanan conservative.

I'm not one of those who try and argue "Hitler was really a leftist".  Trump certainly does fit in with a certain brand of conservative, like as you suggest, Pat Buchanan.

I guess I gave conservatism far to much credit.

When you spoon with Marti, are you the innie or outie?  I'm thinking outie.

You in need of some body-positivity Seedy? She's got a new lingerie spread out.

Some of the Democrats fellow travellers are just as bad Raz.

I wish I could say he's not a conservative of any sort.  He's wishy-washy if that makes you feel better.

Also since we are filtering c-uck, can we turn on a Lena Dunham filter that replaces pics of her with Kate Upton?

Who wouldn't attend a Trump wedding?  The catering alone had to have been magnificent.

Trump said it best.  She was at his wedding because he paid her.
