Republicans review the Republican candidate

See, progressive friends? Decent conservatives do exist. (And watch Hillary continue to reach out to them in the weeks to come.)

    Learned a great new word the other day, and it occurred to me that it describes my reaction to Donald Trump. It’s “backpfeifengesicht”. German for “a face in need of a fist”.

    “William Kristol was Dan Quayle’s chief of staff and was often referred to as Quayle’s brain.
    Then I remembered, Quayle didn’t have a brain.”

    I understand why a great many Americans who feel totally forgotten in the new US economy support him.
    I understand why so many Americans who feel they’ve been lied to over the past 16 years support him.
    He will garner close to 60 million votes in the next election, and, by people who are not racist or xenophobes.
    But, the debate should be reminder to all of those voters just how arrogant and uneducated this man really is.
    The biggest 90 minutes of your life and you think you can “wing” it.
    Not gonna lie, I was fooled, I honestly thought this he was playing rope a dope, I really didn’t think he was that unhinged and had such a disregard for anyone else but himself.

    Sure. The National Post says similar things about him. Kelly McParland, this morning: “Donald Trump is an ugly blot on the national landscape, a base creature belched up from the crassest levels of popular culture.”

    Of course decent Conservatives exist. And to return the favour, I will admit that intelligent, sensible Liberals also exist. 🙂

    The Clinton campaign has hit the Trump train with lots of mud. They keep repeating the ‘Russian’ stuff. They would like to find child porn on his computer, but are just switching from the ‘origin of #Trumpwon.’

    If polls stay close, especially in swing states, I expect smears of Stein and company. The Washington Post BS about Stein on vaccinations worked well; mainstream media did not carry Stein’s response at all to that one.
    I tend to think that people govern with the same ethics, and even morality, that they apply in their campaigns.

    As you can guess, I figure Trump would be bad, but Clinton would be far worse.

    I read a couple of this fellow’s books, including a memoir, close to 20 years ago. It was just after I found a small news story that we had signed a free trade agreement of some kind with Israel. I was curious about, to me, the odd obsession in North America with Israel. I read a whole stack of books by Israelis and Palestinians trying to figure out the special treatment for Israel.
    Peres and his colleagues in leadership have done well in making room for themselves in Palestine, and in using Western European and North American support for Israel to build their nation state.

    Those writers are not “decent conservatives’, they are corrupt neocons who are being purged from the new party of the right.

    As a long time conservative, I don’t recognize ANY of these names except Jennifer Rubin. Who the hell (on either side ) gives a shit what Dan Quayle’s former advisor has to say?????
