is that real?  there something that looks GCI/green-screen about it… like those girls were superimposed on a scene of a trump gathering.

SNL is live this week. Imagine how hard they're scrambling right now to do something on this. Probably Cecily, Aidy and Kate working on the steps as I type this.

There are just so many incredible things about this.

– the fact that the short one looks exactly like Ted Cruz
– when the two taller girls lift the short one approximately 1 centimeter off the ground
– "DEAL FROM STRENGTH OR GET CRUSHED EVERY TIME!!!"
– the fact that they're clearly lip-syncing a song that has at least 5 voices in the chorus
– the fact that one of these girls is probably a future Mrs. Trump, probably the one on the left
– Gray haired guy sitting in middle of screen who can't quite nail the clap beat
– When they get trapped behind the lectern

Can't unsee that now.

Because…Florida.

interesting Bill Maher comment in an interview with politico

And I know Nate Silver and lots of other people say it?s impossible for Donald Trump to get elected president, but as I?ve always said: Something is impossible until it isn?t. And so far, Donald Trump has defied everybody?s predictions, and he?s still there, and he only seems to get stronger. The guy eats third rails for breakfast. I mean, what would he have to say? He?s already said, ?Carly Fiorina, you?re too ugly to be president! John McCain, you?re not a war hero! Hey, would you like to see my impression of a guy with cerebral palsy?? I mean, what would he have to do, fart in Jesus? face or call Ronald Reagan a fag? I have no idea what this guy would have to do to make his crowd turn on him. He?s like a movie monster who only gets stronger with the stuff that you?re using to try to kill him. So with this atmosphere, I think anything is possible?and that means Bernie Sanders is possible.

you know, i have to say it . . . trump was good, and likable on morning joe today.

what's next locust or boils

I find the fact some people take Sanders seriously mind boggling..but in general I'm keeping quiet and watching things…

That's what they said about Obama, and he was black, on top of being a socialist (and he probably liked Coldplay too. No way does a grumpy old man like Sanders listen to Coldplay.)

Space…Nailed it!

I imagine Berrnie like Simon and Garfunkel and Leo Kottke
as well as the Wu Tang Clan

I was wondering what kind of music Bernie has on his gizmo.

Well he tells us, right hea.

three things:

1. Will be 75 when he is sworn in.. lets think about that.. a President who would be 79 towards the end of his FIRST term…
2. socialist wants to break up banks, nationalize health care, raise taxes
3. jewish


maybe the country has changed dramatically in the last few years….. my guess is most of the US has no idea who Bernie sanders is other than the "not Hillary democrat"… I could see Trump beating Sanders 60-40.

Perhaps you didn't click on my link. He has Willie on his gizmo. Does America need to know anything beyond that? I bet Trump likes Coldplay.

Can we just start quoting Hutch's insanity for posterity's sake. What an absolute idiot who knows nothing about politics.

No presidential election is going to swing 60-40, but I hate to say it: I think Trump beats Sanders in a general. From my perspective, there's way more loony far-right idiots than there are loony far-left idiots, and they're much more motivated to not only vote, but to organize, to rally, to work phone banks, to arrange transportation.

I think the country is more leftward than the GOP candidates claim, but I also think most people want to be entertained and the Presidential race has become another sport. If its Donald v Bernie, Donald unleashes zinger after zinger, Bernie struggles to keep up, and the right cheers for their Alpha Male candidate.

Don't forget that Trump has unlimited money. This is very significant. He will never have to cut resources in one state in order to shore up another state. He will never have to tie together coalitions of competing interests. He'll never have to waste time holding fundraising parties. Bernie will still have to do all of that.

If Hillary is the candidate, I think she can take ahold of the narrative and defeat Trump. But I feel like if he's under fire, Bernie's persona will evolve into

Donald Trump will not get the GOP nomination. Anyone who thinks otherwise has an IQ in the 60s. His net favorability ratings among Republicans is 25-30 percentage points lower than Cruz or Rubio. His net favorability ratings among independents is -27%. He is unelectable. The second fringe candidates for the GOP nomination start to drop, the 65% of the Republican party who do not like him will coalesce around an establishment candidate. Again, look at who was leading in the polls in prior election cycles at this time.

How would Sanders do against Mike Huckabee, because he's your 2012 analogue to Trump.

Ok smart guy, who wins the GOP nomination?

It'll be one of Cruz, Rubio, or Bush. Whoever is in the best shape of those 3 after SC, the establishment will coalesce around them, the same way they have in the last two GOP nominations. I would find Bush, by far, the least likely of the three at current. I would find Rubio the most likely as of 1/20.

nope.  trump, trump, trump . . . all the way.  whether you like it or not.  I have not seen this much momentum for any candidate, whether either party, for awhile.  he's crazy and real and straight forward and an entertainer and a business man and a carnival barker.  he is, this country.

that is something that I keep saying, but doesn't seem to get traction
there is no way he can win a national

Independents are key and they are running away from trump like a smelly fart


Trump has changed things and a 6 month significant lead is really impressive
but getting the bozos who vote in Rebpub primaries are different than the people who come out on Election Day
