I can only click 'like" on DBOAPD's comment once. What kind of site is this?

HEY YOU says

Trump will dig up all the stupid his critics have said.

There's only one flaw in Trump's fiendish calculation: Republicans are indifferent to stupidity from their own paid whores.

That's why Thomas Sowell, Charles Krauthammer and Megan McArdle can still find work.

""By the way, the guy (Erick Erickson) who made the decision about RedState called Supreme Court Justice David Souter a 'goat [expletive] child molester' and First Lady Michelle Obama a 'Marxist Harpy.' He was forced to make a humbling apology," the real-estate developer's campaign declared."

As a progressive I would think the Democrats would consider Trump God's gift to them. Finally, a conservative candidate exposes what many on the right really think or feel without the filters of political euphemisms or silent dog whistles designed by the right wing media adviser Frank Luntz. Trump can fire off on the hypocrisy of what conservatives have said in their recent past much more effectively and quicker than any progressive could shouting from the rooftops.

Trump took the lime light away from the other candidates, and made them look kinda silly. I think the Republican Party is now looking to get him before he ruins the chances of a Republican winning the Presidential elections.

The sad part is, he IS the Republican candidate.

Republicans and Democrats alike have said that the Republican party needs to realign and reinvent its self. Donald is the best chance at reforming the Republican party back into the sensible party since Ronald Reagan. The Right should totally be galvanizing around him. The other candidates were there to debate Donald but at times, after Donald had the podium it often looked like they were there to be awe inspired and watch a Master at work.

Now of course what the Democrat party means when they say the Republican party needs to reinvent its self, is they expected the Republican party to grow into the Democrat companion party. A party that will kiss their ass on Capitol hill day in and day out without bad press and political theater.

Last week FOX news showed 80% of their viewers, the one's that have defended watching Fox news for 15 years, because they were watching "The Other Story". Were showed they were NOT watching the other story all of those years, they were watching "Another Story". The Koch Bro message will not be displaced by a rogue messenger.
Even if they have to align with Huffingtonpost and CNN to protect their information Empire.

A dog whistle is not silent to a dog, or a human with an abnormal ear defect.

Here's the deal folks.

In 2015 the goals and objectives for both parties and pretty much anyone with a pulse is the same.
There is no difference in the call for policy between the two parties, so it sounds silly when people say Trump is a Democrat.
Why because he said he would help the poor as well and not leave them out? This is where it gets sticky. Believe it or not, even Republicans know that the poor have to be taken care of to some degree. No Republican has ever said "Well let them eat cake". Where the Republicans and Democrats differ, is the execution of those policies.
Democrats want a blank check and the bulk of the money will go to Left leaning unionized high dollar salaries to administer what ever few cents is left over after the budget to the social cause. Which just creates a perpetual need for them to go back to Congress time and time again to ask for more. Because every time they pass a piece of legislation designed to help some social injustice, it only serves to create more waste, corruption and fraud. Between the administrators and the organized criminals that take advantage of those laws. You'd think these two groups have been dealing with each other for so long, every Democrat in Washington would know the Nigerian Prince by name by now.
When Donald Trump says he wants to help the poor. He's not talking about giving a Lithuanian Lesbian studies major a tenured union job for life, while the conditions in the hood gets even more dire straight.

Republicans prefer to reach out to the faith based organizations to partner with for help with social services. They'll do it for free, no one is making a career out of it.
Also if your high paying career depends on having poor people to help, then what is your end game?

What separates Democrats from Republicans or the Left from the Right today is only our petty differences, the Options are limited and there isn't but one way to skin a cat.
So what's the libs and reps to do, but fight over the verbiage in the copy?
