around there neck---------------and I think it is just great.



They are damned if they do and damned if they don't-----------------you made your right wing bed , now sleep in it.


Couldn't happen to a bunch of narcissistic supporters of a narcissistic individual, that have no empathy for anything except spreading hate and fear, and this down ticket jerks are going to feel this coming down this November --------------yeah


And just think----------------there narcissistic candidate is "trying" to weasel out of the debates, Clinton should be asking why is he trying to do this, if (herr drumpfster) doesn't show up, she should be there, and asking where is the trump, the man who wants to "make america great again" slogan , with that white nationalist jingoistic mantra to the millions watching

I want to see this guy in a debate ----------------one on one, with that albatross just in front of the Chinese communist slave labor tie he wears

He probably will send someone else that is just as narcissist has he his maybe other *******, maybe his son, or daughter

I want to see those tax returns --------------David Cay Johnston on the XM progressive radio with Joey Reid ( she was sitting in for Michelangelo Signorile), and Malcolm Mann just explained who and what this fascists fraud really is---------he really has some explaining to do.

In fact I think the Khans should be one of moderators at the first debate, and then Tammy Duckworth with her Purple heart standing or sitting right along the Khan's, after all she lost both of her legs, and having Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and "all" the republicans being asked who is the patriot, for forty five years we've been hearing its your worthless party

3. Did he earn his purple heart at the Battle of Harrisburg?

The McCain repugs pulled the same kind of tone-deaf gambit in '08 in Pittsburgh. They had Ashley Todd pretend to get pole-axed by a scary Black guy, in a strongly Italian neighborhood. They thought the right wing would rally around the white 'victim' against the 'criminal Black', the 'prejudiced' Italians in the neighborhood would get furious at Black people and the Black Prez candidate.

Instead, the neighborhood got furious at the idea that they had a dangerous neighborhood where crimes like that could occur, right on the main drag. dRumpf is making the same bad move, it's just a question of whether his Harrisburg area yahoo followers get to hear that he dumped on their city.

How hard it is to pick just one, and whether you'll be replacing it with another completely new slam before the day is out.

9. Speaker Ryand and Leader McConnell certainly show no leadership of either the House

or Senate. They are the puppets of a few conservatives, trying to please them. They have done nothing for the nation while leaders. I think McConnell is the birth of Donald Trump, allowing him to hijack the party. I now see the Republican Party dead as we had known it.
I also think Trump is an old, senile man, maybe mentally ill too. God save us if he get elected.

13. There is what is called the October Supprise

Trump may have fallen out of the wider so called Conservative Republican Party, or as many know it is the party in criminal behavior in all but a legal sense.

That said when the Republican Congress can shut down the government to tax legislation their way and hold the American tax payer hostage, yet, the citizen going on strike for real living wages is forbidden shows wry hypocrisy.

Its only a hunch on my part, yet, Paul Ryan, has the ability to be the Republican Party hero in waiting. From my view he has the wherewithal to change the rules and declare Trump in violation of Republican ethics Reagan Rule style, don’t screw up idolatry. :chuckle

Paul Ryan could very well declare by the Reagan Rule Trump violated not just the Republican Conservative Party, yet, proceed to appoint a panel to relieve Trump from his position and make Mike Pence, the for runner to pick a new interesting running mate.

The Republicans have to find a way to rid themselves of Trump. He is too, too controversial as time goes on.

Seems Trump is so unconscious about what he says or natural at keeping the hateful stress response in America the Republican mainstream media grimace wrinkle and fold in conversations they have with Trump. The Republican mainstream media having a hard to admit it cannot believe how disingenuous Trump appears to the American public.

Across the board they know Trump has got to change or go…yet Trump knows if he goes his Billion Dollar domain is going to be punished. So the Republicans have to buy him out.
