Now, can you think of a realistic reason why Russia needs and prefers a strong central state?
Yeah, we've heard it: mysterious foreign influences - and those on the inside who are too westernized, disloyal. Ungrateful Georgians/Chechens/Hungarians/Finns/Ukrainians who for some reason don't appreciate the "civilizing" influence of the ogromnaya strana.
Seriously, I can handle the shit about "Mother Russia - ochenb prekrasno u grozneem ctrana!" - the winter war of 1940, Tannenberg, and 1905 notwithstanding - but the ceaseless blaming of foreign elements is just purely pathetic.

Huge Land Mass, few natural borders. The US and UK can have these Fox Debates because they're mostly surrounded by oceans, and in the first case absolutely overpower the neighbors where a land border exists BOTH in population and economy. Russia has China in the East, of old the Mongols and Turks in the South and Eat, and the Europeans in the West, who feel entitled to 'manage' Russian resources - be they Poles, Germans, or Swedes. "Oh Russia, they need to open up - by Panzer, Hussar, or IMF - their natural resources for our advantage and profit."

No sentient person could have watched that debate and not see it as a total train wreck for Trump. There is so much material and demonstrable lies to work with. This guy is a total hot mess.
- IRT to torture and killing terrorist's families - "They'll do what I tell them".
- Flipping on H1B Visas.
- "I didn't praise Putin"
- "It's a minor civil case!"

He got it from the biased mods, the two boobs on either side who have never ran a lemonade stand before, and of course the stacked audience.
Meanwhile, Young Gay Men, an important lesson from tonight's debate:
Don't use Drugs. By middle age, you'll look like this.
Seriously, he looks worse than Tony Montana at the end of Scarface.
Before Trump, Fox News was the source of facts and truth. Now he is becoming the source of truth and facts. :) Fox is pissed.
I think trump won the debate. The last one was bad-this he looked good and the other two didn't tag team him.

He was on the Ropes but never got KO'd. Good performance considering the deck from Audience to Mods to Competitors Prime Target - couldn't be more stacked against him unless they were tickle-torturing him the entire debate.
for their work in nonlinear differential equations
unless they work on wall street, I doubt most of those people are "good with money"
From a tactical point of view, I'd say Trump did fine. He started to frame his move to the center as a willingness to get things done by compromising when needed. His week kneed voters will read into that what they want.
I don't know the legality of Trump University, but calling something that is not accredited a University is a stretch. Are there other professional seminar type places that sell themselves as a University?

In what universe? But I am sure there is a Drudge poll that has Trump at 102% before the debate even started.
Again, last night we watched Trump:
- Totally reverse himself on one of his main core issues (H1B Visas) "I'm changing"
- Exposed as a total hypocrite employing foreigners and building his shit overseas "It's legal"
- Denied he praised Putin
- Said he would force the military to commit war crimes "They'll do what I tell them"
- Talked about the size of his dick
- Proved he knows fuck-all about the size and scope of government spending

I keep telling Trump-bots like Ironman that this is as Conservative as we will ever see Trump. He is trying to "Make a Deal" with Conservatives to get the nomination. Once he is safely nominated, he will then run to the Left of Hillary in the general election - because he has always been a New York liberal.
He is already ditching many of his key campaign promises like H1B visas that get all of the Trump monkeys all hot and excited.
If Trump thought he had a better opportunity to become president on the Democrat party he would do so - but since he is such great friends with Hillary, he decided to run as a Republican.
I think for the next debate they should dispense with the pleasantries and just unzip and measure

The problem is that all you have is conjecture vs the facts that the conservatives/republicans have destroyed their base and their country with the advent of the neocons, and the democrats even worse with the advent of the progressive left. Why not give him a chance, the majority of people think it cannot get any worse. This is the country of giving everyone a chance and the past 15 years have been an absolute establishment clusterfuck sell-out. Time to try something different, it's all what this country is about, no heavyweight cultural or intellectual legacy, it's all about pragmatism. The people have been fucked over long enough by the last administration and the one before, they simply want change (why does change sound so familiar?).
and the democrats even worse with the advent of the progressive left
Bwahahaha. There has never been a progressive in the White House. It's been all neocons from both parties. Thunder is correct about that.
How many times do you need to be told, Trump ISN'T a Conservative!!!
I know, Trump is a Liberal Fascist and crony capitalist.
I know why Thundercommie supports the Putin loving Alpha "strongman". I am trying to figure out why Trump has so many fanboys in the Conservative wing of the party. Do they really think "blowing up the GOPe" by nominating this New York Liberal is sound strategy? Are they trying to make the Republican party more Liberal like the Democrats? Is that what blowing up the GOPe is all about? Making it more Liberal?
I know some Conservatives are willing to hold their nose and vote for Trump despite all his manifest Liberal history and positions because they think Trump is strong on immigration. But last night I think the mask finally fell and Trump admitted he is just telling the rubes what they want to hear.
Trump is a total fraud who has a cult following that makes the Obambots of 2008 look sober.
Bwahahaha. There has never been a progressive in the White House. It's been all neocons from both parties.
You're making a mistake in your thought process here. These 2 are not mutually exclusive. Esp. the hawks on the democratic side use SWJs and progressive left memes to silence their critics - Hillary is all about grrl power and more feminism and now selling herself as the voice for the black people. There is no reason why the progressive left cannot go on a warpath, they may welcome oriental rapefugees, but they are all for battling evil Russia with its conservative anti-gay policies. And they are willing to silence and imprison/oppress anybody not agreeing with their ideology. It would be naive to underestimate their hostility and candid appreciation of fascism (on their terms).
Did you ever think maybe it's because they don't want another 4 years of Obama? You're wonderful conservatives handed the Senate over to the Repubs in 2014. What did they get for it?
Just so I am clear because your previous posts and support for Trump is schizo.
Do you want our government and the Republican party to be more Conservative or Libertarian (shrinking taxes, shrinking the size of government, reducing regulations, eliminating public sector unions, reforming entitlements etc.)?
If the above is true, how on earth can you support someone like Trump who claims he won't even touch entitlements which is our government's biggest liability? How can you support Trump when he brazenly flip flops on his main immigration issue on H1B visas last night? How can you support Trump when he was exposed as an ignoramus last night on the size and scope of our government expenditures? The guy had no clue.
Again, if your goal is to make the Republican party more like the Democrat party (or elect Hillary outright) - Trump is the man to do it.

Yes, they are. Progressives are not neocons. Progressives are not hawks. Neocons can adopt a bit of the progressive platform to appeal to the Dem. base, but that doesn't make them a progressive.
- Totally reverse himself on one of his main core issues (H1B Visas) "I'm changing"
Nope.

- Denied he praised Putin
Which he never did, only that he accepted Putin's praise and thought it would be great to work with Russia to crush ISIS. TO neocons whose top priority is to suck Saudi Dick and overthrown anti-Radical secular dictators like Assad, this is the same as loving Putin.
socal2 says
- Talked about the size of his dick
The Bottom initiated that BS, Bottom's ass is medium rare and wide as the Intercoastal waterway, and he likes to feel full.
socal2 says
- Proved he knows fuck-all about the size and scope of government spending
But first Term Senators who have missed almost 250 votes and hearings between them are experts. Trump has been the final decision maker on budgets these two have ever come within 0.01% of handling.
socal2 says
- Said he would force the military to commit war crimes "They'll do what I tell them"
Total Twisting.

Liberal warmongers like Hillary, Nuland, and Powers are "Liberal Interventionists" who selectively apply "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P) to justify military intervention.
We need to honor land borders first, before we get into abstract crap like human rights - and it's easily abused. If it's Human Rights, invading Saudi Arabia should be Job #1.
'd like to see BOTH parties go away and be replaced with the AMERICAN party, that actually serves the people, because we're all in this TOGETHER, but idiots like you love to put "labels" on issues/parties.
Meaningless drivel.
What policies will make it an "AMERICAN" party? Specifics please.
Trump reversed himself on one of his biggest populist promises on immigration last night. "He's changing" as he openly admitted. The problem with the Republican party is that we send Conservatives to DC and they "change" to become Liberals so they can be liked by all of the "Establishment".
Nope.

So Trump had a stroke during the debate last night when he said the exact opposite when asked? Another case of having a bad earpiece? The fucker changes his positions every 24 hours now.

This post made me more excited than Marco Rubio seeing a Bear at a Foam Party. Right on!

Total Twisting.
Dude is a total fascist. I know that is why you swoon for him.

Bullcrap, You can see his core Trade position from Oprah 30 some odd years ago, hasn't changed. His H1-B visa position is the same - it's not for entry level, not to replace Americans already in the job, have to exhaust all possibilities finding Americans first, and has to be strictly limited to critical shortages.
Considering the Audience, Mods, and of course his competitors were hammering him, he stumbled a bit. The Lion still came out mostly unhurt from his tangle with the Jackals.

No, the fascists are the GOPe and Clinton wing: The blending of Corporate Power with State Power and Endless War.
A guy who brags that he will win more Minority Votes than anyone in recent memory, who wants to work with other Great Power Rivals, etc. is no Fascist.
We haven't seen an American nationalist in so long, anything that isn't total Cuck to Corporations Open Borders and One-sided Trade looks Extreme.
Trump's positions, if in the US, Canada, UK 1930-1990, would be boringly bourgeois.

Trump "exhausted" all opportunities to hire Americans for his Mar-a-lago resort?
"Since 2010, nearly 300 United States residents have applied or been referred for jobs as waiters, waitresses, cooks and housekeepers there. But according to federal records, only 17 have been hired."
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/26/us/politics/donald-trump-taps-foreign-work-force-for-his-florida-club.html?_r=0
The man is a living breathing fraud.
Trump "exhausted" all opportunities to hire Americans for his Mar-a-lago resort?
Job is 50-60 hours per week, and peak season is October-March, the exact opposite of when College Students are available - unlike other areas where the peak resort season in the Summer time.
He created 17 jobs for Americans - how many have Rubio and Cruz employed outside Government or Politics?
Lifetime Government officials criticizing a Billionaire who employs 22,000 people - unbelievable.
"Not a real Conservative" - INDEED!
And they are willing to silence and imprison/oppress anybody not agreeing with their ideology. It would be naive to underestimate their hostility and candid appreciation of fascism (on their terms).
Bullcrap. Who has ever been imprisoned for not agreeing with liberal ideology?
Anybody hardcore for either side of the establishment are blind shit wolves....
When it's ok for the leaders to cut the books in half concerning federal law as to
what applies to them and the pubic acts like it is no problem.... You definitely have
problems... And when nothing changes..... nothing changes....
PS Marriott Hotels, Club Med, and others aggressively shift their employees around internationally, for the purposes of maximizing hospitality. It's par for the course.
But that's something that a GOP official wouldn't understand, not being in any kind of productive enterprise.
BTW, I think Trump was suckered a little bit last night. With the article about Ailes dumping Rubio, articles about the GOPe accepting Reality, etc. he may have thought he wasn't going to get Megyn'd, and walked into an ambush. Even so, he fired both sides of the ship and kept moving forward, which is the correct strategy.
He specifically referenced this last night saying they were part time, seasonal jobs and many Americans who applied were looking for full time jobs.
300 Americans applied for the part time jobs. But Trump chose foreign labor over Americans so he could make more money on their slave wages. So I guess you can argue that these 300 Americans were too stupid to know what they were applying for, or that the jobs Trump was offering were "Jobs Americans won't do".
But as Thundercommie just said - it's just "par for the course". Everyone does it. Trump can't be expected to live by the campaign promises he tells his cult followers.
People thinking Trump will reform shit are high on crack. He will go along to get along as he has done his entire life.
I'm just messing with you ducky.....got to have a sense of humor.... Your ok,
Don't take yourself to serious now.....

Oh FFS. Trump thought maybe he wouldn't be asked some tough questions? Otherwise he would have ran away like he did on the last Fox debate?
What questions were out of bounds?
Remember the last Fox Debate that Trump bailed on where both Cruz and Rubio were presented with videos of their flip flops on immigration and other issues? Just imagine if Trump was made to explain his massive hypocrisy and flip-flops at that debate based on all of the video they have on Trump's past statements? In retrospect, it was smart for Trump to run away from that debate to keep his cult in the dark.

Only 50 tix to the public, hundreds to GOPe insiders and Media.
