Jeb: Boy, that Trump is going to go down in flames on Megyn Kelly. Can you believe that?

Advisor: No, Jeb, he's going to double down. After a few days of being alternately told she's an empty-headed bimbo and a vicious conniving bitch by Trump's minions on twitter he'll go up in the polls and she'll learn to keep quiet.

Jeb: Really? So he's saying more outrageous things to get out of the first outrageous thing? And that works?

Advisor: Yup.

Jeb: Hmmm. Let's talk about our position on my family's wars in Iraq.

In other news from Cuba, when do we think Donald Trump is going to go full birther on Ted Cruz? You know, that guy who was ACTUALLY born abroad and whose father wasn't a citizen at the time. Will anyone beat Trump to Cruz birtherism?

I've always wondered exactly who thinks this issue is grave, aside from the Washington Press and people who don't like Hillary to begin with.

And of course she's utterly clueless about technology.

Neither. It means she is trying to act clueless. "Gosh, what ever do you mean???"

There is more gravity in deep space than there is of this issue.

I will say that what I said about why journalists were getting prosecuted for leaks a few months ago applies here, too -- the laws surrounding the classification of material and the institutional incentives within DOJ mean that the former is going to chase anyone who leaves the wrong trail, and now that those trails are digital instead of paper, it's lot of easier to find the evidence that gets these investigations going, pointless as they are on national-security grounds.

Meanwhile, the GOP primary never fails to entertain:

2. But she's getting a pass on this one anyway. The DOJ isn't going to knock a Presidential front runner out of the race with a dubious investigation.

Question: Is Trump Chance the gardener?

I tend to think that he's more self aware and knows he's playing a celebrity marketing game (obviously, he's had practice) but sometimes what he says, how he says it and how his supporters react are so buffoonish, I don't know.

nah, Trump realizes what he says, and the harm that will come if his plan was ever effected. when Chauncey (hi thurgreed!) spoke of pruning back the garden to enjoy growth in the spring that was what he meant.

Of course, there is no shortage of "independents" who are total whack jobs, too. My personal favorite are the folks who want absolutely every program in the world and also want to not have to pay for any of them, the people who are often referred to as "socially liberal but fiscally conservative". Total whack jobs not conversant with reality. Who are usually also self-righteously "moderate".

See the linked cartoon and the presence of "Entitlements Disastrous" and the "smart reasonable person" saying, "We are putting our children in peril if we do not... rein in entitlement spending."

There's nothing smart, reasonable or independent about buying into the right's attempt to use a crisis to permanently gut Medicaid and Medicare. Or for that matter do away with Obamacare cost cutting measures.

Like maybe a statue of "mankind crucified on a cross of gold" or something like that?

Or perhaps President Trump will just rename Puerto Rico as "McKinleyland."

Re: They're going north, the rush is on.
 
Just reading Donald Trump's interview with Hewitt, that he said was full of "gotcha" questions. Here's the one he had the most trouble with:

HH: But on the front of Islamist terrorism, I知 looking for the next commander-in-chief, to know who Hassan Nasrallah is, and Zawahiri, and al-Julani, and al-Baghdadi. Do you know the players without a scorecard, yet, Donald Trump?
DT: No, you know, I値l tell you honestly, I think by the time we get to office, they値l all be changed.


Now, forget the Donald's self-professed ignorance - this reads to me like he just volunteered that he expects the whole cast of major terrorist leaders to be taken out before Obama's term is over. Isn't that the real story: Trump thinks Obama can decapitate terrorism worldwide in the coming months?
