Right now, she's hiding behind attacks on Trump... talk about low hanging fruit... and that is helping her limp along to the primary. Otherwise, I fear that she would be doing a faceplant before the primaries even begin and I worry that O'Malley would be a tougher competitor.<br /><br />Of course, on the other hand, Trump is keeping the "conservatives hate minorities" thing running strong.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-86800646017162615452015-07-17T16:27:30.579-04:002015-07-17T16:27:30.579-04:00And Trump is actually saying stuff that the other ...And Trump is actually saying stuff that the other candidates probably WANT to say and don't have the nerve...so it gets the issue on the table, so that maybe clearer heads can work on their message...BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-34587952127374818672015-07-17T16:25:30.975-04:002015-07-17T16:25:30.975-04:00Personally, I am thrilled that Trump is taking all...Personally, I am thrilled that Trump is taking all the focus right now, so that when the real campaigning and debates start he will be completely out.

Is it fringe right thinking to be shocked when we find out that the person responsible for killing that pretty young woman in SF was previously deported 5 times and then scurried back to SF to continue his predatory acts? That the SF sheriff and council have no problem providing 'sanctuary' for lawbreakers in direct contravention of federal law?<br /><br />So, I think what Trump has done was turn on the light in the kitchen and all the cockroaches are scurrying. The same we're hearing now about the Planned Parenthood policy of selling aborted fetus's body parts. Will it be fringe if he mentions this and the press treats it the same way they're doing his illegal immigrant comments?<br /><br />I'm all for a loud and open "conversation" about these and other 'fringe' issues, except we know that even with+70% of the US against abortion at any time for any reason, the left has won that argument via the courts and now we on the 'fringe' have to sit back and take one for leftist cause. <br /><br />Where does it end? Those of us who read history know how this will end. <br /><br />Bob<br /><br />P.S. ...and yes, I would vote for Trump over Hillary any day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109181511738647017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-75151099585285756972015-07-17T12:20:52.417-04:002015-07-17T12:20:52.417-04:00Good morning folks.

Create anarchy, lawlessness, cronyism, graft, different rules and tax rates for minorities, all part and parcel of where we're heading.<br /><br />What this President has done to transform this country is amazing. When a black thug is killed by the police for breaking the law, he rushes in and condemns and takes sides. When a white girl is killed by an illegal, when muslims kill (and try to kill) Marines, etc., he is silent as he won't comment on an ongoing investigation. <br /><br />Embodied by his slimy, weaselly spokesidiots, he/they lie without repurcussions, sell us down the river to the global left, and basically "transform" this country into their version of totalitarian rule. There is no loyal opposition in Congress or in the major cities. They vote for their policies and bailouts and the rest of us grumble, complain and continue to take it and try to go about our lives and avoid places like NYC and SF. <br /><br />So, the leftists destroy, the rest of us, come in and clean it up, then lather, rinse and repeat. Thus does history carry on inexorably.<br /><br />We should treat these bastards like they did Coesceseau(sp?).<br /><br />Bob Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109181511738647017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-73060292671745265512015-07-17T02:01:06.245-04:002015-07-17T02:01:06.245-04:00Friday's Thoughts coming tonight.
