GG Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 it actually was. it was about self interest. and I replied that it's generally not in a students financial self interest to become a scientist. it's about passion and hunger for knowledge. you wouldn't understand.

I just hope that Kelly continues to show things that sheds a true light on his positions. It's important that people understand them and not allow him to just get away with the things he says. The mainstream media, in all honesty has really given him a pass. Yes, there has been criticism, but it's sort of like when Joe Biden says something, they shrug and chuckle it off as "there goes Uncle Joe again". Same with Trump, they give him a pass. You and I both know that ends once it becomes a two person race. If he were to manage to win the nomination, there would be no more passes. The press would turn on him in a big way.

Ozymandius Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 The interesting thing is that I think there's a decent chance Malkin will vote for Trump. As all long-time readers of Malkin know, she's a border hawk. Magox, since you love Domenech opinions so much, check this out: http://hotair.com/archives/2015/08/24/is-ted-cruz-the-new-frontrunner-for-the-nomination/ That is the end-game I'm hoping for, but I know the GOP is too stupid to do it. They're going to shove Jeb down our throats and have him get trounced in the general elections. Nobody wants to comment on Domenech and Allahpundit's theory that the GOP will eventually have to turn to Cruz to bridge the divide? I am very skeptical that will happen, but I'll be rooting for it. A united front of base + cuckservatives will be very hard for the Dems to beat. And don't give me any of that crap about Cruz being unelectable. They will have Presidential debates, right? Can anyone see Cruz NOT destroying Hillary or Biden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine two or three presidential debates with Cruz calling her out on her scandals, and every time the moderator tries to give him a gotcha, Cruz deftly spins out of it with a good, conservative answer no matter the topic. He's too good a debater and her trust factor is too low for Cruz to not be a huge favorite, imo.

But she's a strong voice for the conservative movement and she has a crapload of followers. Going after her accomplishes absolutely zero except to provide more fuel to the left to talk about the clown car. Trump is completely unhinged at this point.

Rubio's views on immigration are inline with what the majority of the American public wants, which NOW he supports border security first and then a pathway to legal status. He is the best bet. I dunno. These Floridians seem really upset at him about lying during his Senate campaign: http://www.marcorubioamnestyman.com/ Two things happened that would set the course for a Rubio victory. The immigration issue came up and Charlie Crist said he supported amnesty. When Rubio saw the reaction of citizens to Crist’s support of amnesty, he knew all he had to do to seal the deal was take an anti-amnesty stand and he would be the next senator from Florida. After all, being anti-amnesty had worked for his predecessor, Senator Mel Martinez, who ran on an anti-amnesty platform, then went on to join Senator McCain in drafting the 2007 amnesty bill. The similarities between Martinez’s actions and Rubio has earned Rubio the nickname “Little Mel.” I'll mull him over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is Yuri? Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If he were near as smart as he thinks he is, he'd shut up and listen to the way Carly Fiorina handles things. When she rises up the ranks in the next few months, he's going to have to do more than call her a pig or suggest he'd like to see her on her knees. Her discussion with Couric on global warming cooling climate change is making the rounds lately, and it's simply brilliant. Spend 5 minutes to see how you get a point across. Coal provides 39% of electricity in this nation, not 50% as Carly claims. http://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=427&t=3 Her Clean Coal angle is extremely 1999ish.

meazza Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 http://www.redstate.com/2015/08/25/awesome-terrible-majesty-donald-trump-press-conference/ He opened the conference by yelling at Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, who he claimed asked a question without being called on. He continued to yell at Ramos at some length about being out of turn, then turned to one of his campaign staffers, nodded, and pointed at Ramos, whereupon the staffer removed Ramos from the conference. (Note: I would have zero problem on principle with throwing Ramos out of a press conference on the merits). The next reporter’s question, naturally, was, “Why did you have him thrown out?” Amazingly, Trump responded to this question, I’m not kidding, by answering, “I didn’t have him thrown out, you’ll have to ask security, whoever they are.” When reporters pressed him with the obvious fact that the person who had him removed was on his staff (he appeared to be wearing a Trump button even, but I can’t swear to that), he immediately changed his tune to say that it was because the reporter was a “highly emotional person,” with no mention of the fact that 30 seconds earlier he had been denying that he had Ramos thrown out at all. ... Trump seemed particularly fixated on Jeb Bush, belittling his standings in the polls and calling him a “low energy person.” He also said, “You know, Jeb Bush has raised $114 million and no one knows who any of his donors are, you can’t find it out!” – apparently unaware that the FEC and numerous other sites contain easily searchable online databases of campaign donors. ... When a politician goofs once, it’s easy for that to get stuck in the feedback loop of the media and other candidates. Watching Donald Trump speak and answer questions, though, is like watching a billion targets appear in the sky all at once, for a political opponent. Each thing he says is so bizarre, or ill informed, or demonstrably false, or un presidential in tone or character, that it becomes impossible to know which target to lock on to or focus on. And to the extent that he makes a policy statement, it is so hopelessly vague and ludicrous that it’s impossible to know where to begin, at least within the context of the 30-second soundbite that the modern political consumer requires (and chances are, he will say something diametrically opposed to it before the press conference is over anyway). Donald Trump is the political equivalent of chaff, a billion shiny objects all floating through the sky at once, ephemeral, practically without substance, serving almost exclusively to distract from more important things – yet nonetheless completely impossible to ignore.
