I listen to a lot of talk radio because I get tired of listening the same music all the time. The blind support for Trump with these people is insane! This is why the party can never get better. The conservative media voice is so loud it drowns out all sensible discussion. They are doing a disservice to the Republican party. They care about their ratings more than their party.
And the people that buy into this drivel don't know any better because it's all they pay attention to. All other media is propaganda for the left according to them. -

Them MSNBC dudes was sayin , i think his end game is that and he is hoping to lose by 1/2 a point or less to say forever this election was stolen from him , thats his victory or win scenario, coz its the Clinton and he will have a sizable amount of paranoid people/conspiracy theorists/Fox News/Talk Show radio who will eat that ? up.He doesnt want to lose but he really doesnt want to win , coz he doesnt want to do the things you have to do to govern.
The fact that his camp reached out to kasich the way that they did tells me that at his core trump knows hes in over his head despite his public egocentricity -

The mother identified herself in a brief interview with a small group of reporters as Pam Kohler of Mount Vernon, Va., but she would not name her son or say how old he is. -

It's funny you mention this because Trump recently said he "heard" the election is going to be rigged lmao!

Trump: "I love babies. I hear that baby cry and I love to hear that." To the mother "Don't worry"
(Crowd cheers)
2 minutes later
Trump: "I was only kidding you can get that baby out of here. I think she really believed me. Like I like babies crying while I'm speaking?"
(Crowd cheers)
Lol. ? .

The Republican party is getting exactly what they deserve! They clung to their aging, out of touch with modernity base and are now paying for not stepping into the millennium. A couple of years ago they wanted to be more inclusive and now they are less inclusive than before.
What pushed them even further right? Conservative media. The Republican party lets the conservative media drive the party bus and now if it falls below 50mph it explodes. I hope this election exposes this fact and the Hannity's and Limbaugh's are marginalized to the very edges of history's pages.
This.
They created this Trump monster and his supporters. They fed this fire, and now they can't control it. Trump is the living embodiment of everything the GOP is against. So right now, they're reaping what they sowed.
I hope Trump does takes the whole party over the edge wit him and his supporters, and the GOP crumbles. -

I cosigned but hesitate to suggest that the GOP crumbles. I think we need an opposition party because it keeps the other party in check. We need a balance. The country can't be too far left or too far right. I do hope that the tea party types and conservative media are abolished though. Conservative media is a cancer to the political process. -

Good ? Almighty
Morning Joe was talking to retired General Michael Hayden, who's isn't supporting Hillary (yet) but couldn't imagine Trump ever winning him over, right?
Then Joe Scarborough decides to drop this off-the-record anecdote into the discussion:
Joe knows a senior foreign policy type that gave Trump a briefing months ago.....and during this hour long briefing Trump straight up asked the guy "Why can't we use nuclear weapons?" 3 times.
....
There was stunned silence, dead air and shocked faces in the studio for like 10 seconds after he said that.

People probably thought he was joking when he said this back in march.Let me explain. Let me explain. Somebody hits us within ISIS, you wouldn't fight back with a nuke?Look, nuclear should be off the table. But would there be a time when it could be used, possibly, possibly?Well, just say it. "I will never use a nuclear weapon in Europe."

Yeah they say the RNC have to elect them the earliest of September. And Manafort has checked out. -

lol NBC actually made some poor reporter ask immigration officials about how the Muslim ban would actually work logistically.........ofc only one Muslim country even lists religion on passports so......
-
A Muslim ban is not impossible by muslim ban i believe trump means that we should stop immigration from islamic nations regardless of the religious affiliation of the individual.
FOR example there are christians in egypt (they are horribly oppressed) but egypt is a muslim majority nation therefore all immigration from egypt should stop. Unless of course there is verifiable way to prove the individual really isn't a muslim. -
