It is remarkable the amount of power that right wing talk radio stars perceive themselves to have. Laura Ingraham just told Cruz, Rubio and Walker to 'man up' and stop being such pussies for not endorsing Trump. She then called out the entire press corp and told them to 'do your jobs'. She then said 'let's send the consultants, lobbyists and pollsters packing'. As though any of these people give a shit what she thinks.
Why do I have a feeling that during the GOP convention, we're going to talk a lot about Trump and during the DNC convention, we're going to talk a lot about Trump?
Wife was watching PBS . She told me that Gwen Ifel and the other talking heads made it a practice to talk over the GOP speakers, particularly when said speakers were attacking Hillary. We're watching a movie now instead.
I was enjoying Laura Ingraham's speech before the pundits cut into it. After all, what THEY have to say is SO much more important than the convention, itself.
it's actually based on soviet educational templates, why it's call mind arson,
Laura helped topple eric cantor with the david brat endorsement, forcing amnesty supporters underground till judge haney slammed the door on them permanently,
Everybody knows what Common Core is. It is the latest in a string of failures in federal education central planning. By my understanding of such things, it has a 5 year window before the new failure is introduced.
yes, that's the one, but it's a failure by design, the magic beans the gulf investors sold neil, who planted them in the nclb bill, it leaves students less able to read and count then the year before,
Are folks making predictions re a Cruz endorsement?
I don't think Cruz can honestly say that he endorses Trump for POTUS. Cruz probably doesn't think the guy is suited for the job. And, he'd like a clearer lane in 20 w/o an R in the White House. Ironically, as Trump would note, this means that Lyin Ted will endorse Trump.
I like Harold Hamm. I only wish a better speaker covered this issue. We are paying terrorists to attack us. ISIS sells it oil to Turkey and Obama refuses to bomb the oil assets of ISIS.
Literally, just a few years ago, I was on the phone with the Koch Brothers. I gave them inside info on the protest plans to plant trouble makers in the crowd.
Is tonight the night when it dawns on everyone that Mike Pence was probably a third round draft pick for Veep? Any ideas as to how many people turned Trump down?
By all of the markers that make Pence an okay selection, Scott Walker, John Kasich and Greg Abbott all would have been better picks.
And remember, when Ted Cruz suspended his campaign, how many people -- Cruz supporters -- were talking about unification via a Trump-Cruz dream team? How much of a better campaigner and a better media presence would be Marco Rubio?
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
It is really stark tonight, given the Walker/Cruz/Pence lineup.
America deserves better than the media and ruling class we have.
I am not a Trump fan, but neither I nor the nation could not tolerate four years of Hillary! and her media minions making her out to be the best POTUS of all time, except maybe for Obama. The absurdity ...the utter absurdity.
Where is Kasich tonight? Probably getting drunk with the Bush Family and planning how they can get Trump before he gets them.
The Cable TV guys talked over him , but the RNC Network had Phil Ruffin's speech in full. It was sincere and powerful performance. Once again the politicians all seem to be reciting focus group tested cliches, while the business people and military guys all seem sincere and very interesting truth tellers.
The standard of authenticity is extremely high these days.
I'm going to pander to who ever I can even if it means dragging out the poor dead Benghazi victims out of their graves. Maybe we can bring Mrs.Smith up in the stage again.
I don't want to quibble w/ Ted, but isn't it possible that there have been other times where the phrase "I want to be free" has been more relevant than now. Isn't it possible that there has been a time w/ even less freedom for some Americans?
I'm only noting that that statement by Ted reveals an odd blind spot. He could have reformulated and made the same point w/o claiming that Americans have never been less free than now.
In a a heavily symbolic gesture a Democratic protester outside RNC who was trying to burn the flag set his pants on fire instead. The fire spread to others in the crowd and then the protesters beat up some police who were putting the fires out.
Just a little vignette of life among "progressives."
As someone who is sitting up in the nosebleed section at the convention, once again I am reminded why I don't like Trump-- his followers. What an ugly bunch -- including hundreds sitting in the Trump Guest section .
Cruz was by far the most effective of the three unsuccessful contenders for the nomination. Walker's constant yelling was unmodulated and wearing and Rubio's speech looked a bit like a hostage video, short and slightly out of focus. Yet, I can't see Ted ever being a successful at the national level. He is probably no more arrogant than Trump, or many other politicians, but he appears so smarmily self-satisfied with himself, so anxious piss off everyone he views as less 'pure' than himself that his achievements will never match his ambitions.
I did not believe that Cruz had the personality to win a national election, but he really cemented that tonight. If he did not want to endorse Trump, he should not have accepted the speaking engagement.

Blacks were shot, but by other blacks in the hood, so those lives don't matter. They can't be used for the Dems political purposes. If blacks can't be used by the Left to gain power, leftists don't notice or care if they live or die. People exist only to be used.
Citizens United was all about the following: The federal government could not constitutionally ban the showing of a movie that was critical of Hillary Clinton. (You didn’t know that? Go ahead, read the decision for yourself.) It is perhaps understandable that Hillary would want the power to ban criticism of her in movies, magazines, web sites and books.
Barack Obama’s [Deputy] Solicitor General specifically stated in oral argument that the administration’s position was that it can constitutionally ban books if they criticize politicians who are running for office–but it is rather shocking that repealing the First Amendment would be one of Hillary’s key objectives as president.
"Has any Leftist on this thread said one thing of substance that deserved any legitimate consideration?
We need better trolls."
You are right, Birkel. They are a sad lot. But maybe they are all in Cleveland and they are the ones who set their pants on fire and now they are bravely trolling through pain. They should each get one of those attendance trophies - or each should get five trophies since I gather each has several personas.
Anyone who writes their own speech is a winner in my book. If speakers don't write their own words, we can only grade that person's acting ability. WTF is that?
pm317 said... Fuck Cruz. Trump does not need his endorsement.
Noted! I am so glad to read that. Because I really do not want to hear from the likes of you, that Trump needed more endorsements from establishment GOP types. And that Trump's excuse for losing, was some sort of failure on the part of the GOP establishment. You don't care about that support from the establishment. Donald Trump has said so, and so has Eric Trump.
I'm more contented with that, than you can possibly imagine. I'd like to be able to vote for Trump with a clear conscience. There are lots of Republicans like me. Just maybe, the difference between winning and losing in November.
Trump needs to win our votes. That's what you'd say, if Jeb Bush was the nominee. That he has to sell you; convince you that he's the right guy for the job. That he has earned your trust and your support and ultimately your vote.
Gingrich is a sharp debater and politician. He ad libbed and deftly turned Cruz's attack back on itself at the start of his speech before returning to his prepared remarks. Eric Trump lacked the flexibility to respond when it would have been even more effective, immediately after Cruz's speech. To be fair, Gingrich also had more time to prepare, but being a politician is a skilled trade and you don't pick up those skills in a few months.
CNN claims Cruz was screamed at and someone had to be restrained from going after him in one of the big donor boxes. And, His wife was screamed at and had to be hurried out of some other area.
But, Newt tells Rs that Cruz was telling them to vote for Trump.
"CNN claims Cruz was screamed at and someone had to be restrained from going after him in one of the big donor boxes. And, His wife was screamed at and had to be hurried out of some other area."
What's all this I'm hearing about big donut boxes? Why do we need such large boxes for donuts? Did the donuts get larger or are they simply wasting space and cardboard? I don't think it's wise to be this wasteful of sp.......er, what's that?
Chuck, Wouldn't you say that Trump is trying to win your support? Look at his Supreme Court list? look at his VP choice?
Look how he let his enemies from the primaries (who have many supporters still) speak.
Then, look outside the RNC convention. The ten of thousands of protesters who were going to mobilize and show Trump have melted away like snowflakes in the sun. That does mean something.
Look at how he has reduced the media to driveling Pajama Boys, spending their time attacking a attractive woman.
Isn't he right when he says it's time to spend time on America, not on the globalizers?
I don't mean this nastily - but what is it that you want Trump to do?

Not sure repeatedly yelling 'America deserves better' is entirely in the Donald's best interests.
Wisconsin is better than ever! I don't know why people are streaming over the border to Minnesota..
Walker and Althouse better deliver Wisconsin for Trump.
Okay speech by ?Scott.
PBS is all democrat operatives.
Why? Because Wisconsin doesn't deserve a Koch pet for a Governor.
I'm going to be very disappointed if Althouse doesn't have a thread specific to Scott Walkers speech with her thoughts.

They cut to Trump before Cruz finished lol.
Ted Cruz was booed, now that wasn't nice.
Cruz is a good man. Cruz haters should f off.
The lefties seem to be quite bitter tonight. There must have been too few cops killed today.
Disappointed that Cruz couldn't just throw a few bones to Trump. Seems petty.
But I do understand how ugly the primaries were, so something has to give, and I guess this was it.
No for Cruz in 2020.
It looks like Cruz decided to not be Lyin Ted. He didn't fib and say he endorses Trump.
Hang in there lefties. Tomorrow is a brand new day.

go for it demonrats you know how to do it!!11!!
Bad New Yorkers, booing at Cruz.
Ted Cruz is such a turd.
Voter supression laws, just bringing back the bad old days of Jim Crow.
"Ted Cruz is such a turd."
He's always seemed creepy. Even before that little white blob he ate in the debate.
Cruz gets an F. Terrible speech. I thought he was smarter and a better speech maker. Too long.
Anonymous: "Voter supression laws, just bringing back the bad old days of Jim Crow."
You simply can't get Jim Crow laws off the minds of democrats. Perhaps it's genetic and/or politically hereditary.
Cruz was rude and classless. Trump did the right thing cutting him out.
Damn..Cruz slipped it in a little..too bad.
Voter suppression = voter integrity.
Just words.
In addition to "lock her up" signs, they should have printed some "lyin' Ted"s too.
"Voter suppression" = not letting illegals vote...multiple times.
That right is reserved for dead democrats.

That was awesome.
Trump will break rice bowls!

Sore loser?
Gotta say, I now regret having voted for Ted Cruz during the Primaries.
I refused to believe all the crap people spewed about him being self serving. Thought he meant the things he said.
But this takes the cake. I was hoping he'd be the bigger man tonight. What a disappointment.
"set his pants on fire "
At least that pants on fire liar stayed outside. Lyin Ted brought his mischief to the main stage
I admit I was fooled too.
"I refused to believe all the crap people spewed about him being self serving. Thought he meant the things he said."
Have you considered questioning some of your other beliefs and assumptions?
Another sore loser.
"I admit I was fooled too."
Maybe you'll consider that you've been fooled in other ways too.
Cruz was by far the most effective of the three unsuccessful contenders for the nomination.

"You're on fire! You're on fire, stupid!" a Cleveland officer shouted at a lefty protester.

Peggy showed up in the 80's.
That doesn't explain the extraordinary volume of Reagans writings, notes, musings all captured from the 50's on.
I am not minimizing Peggy's contribution, but it's not like things were "dullsville" before she showed up.
AReasonableMan: "As a moderate, it had not occurred to me that I might require a character witness."
You never know when you will find yourself facing Twelve Angry Men.
Ted Cruz is a quick-witted thrust and parry kind of guy - that's when you see him at his best. Next attorney general, I hope.
Anonymous taking a potty break.
Jon Ericson: "Anonymous taking a potty break."
Diaper change.
ARM, Cruz may be cursing at Newt for stealing his thunder.
You will not find Cruz in Trump administration. That bridge was burned tonight.
G. Soros message broke her widdle heart.
Jesus that band reaffirms every awkward republican stereotype.
CNN claims Cruz was screamed at and someone had to be restrained from going after him in one of the big donor boxes. And, His wife was screamed at and had to be hurried out of some other area.
But, Newt tells Rs that Cruz was telling them to vote for Trump.
How dump are y'all?
"AReasonableMan" has declared himself a moderate. Of all the statist, collectivists I know "AReasonableMan" is the most moderate.
It's Cleveland Mannnn.
Not in the at all.
"How dump [sic] are y'all?"
Perfect in every respect, that comment is.
"CNN claims Cruz was screamed at and someone had to be restrained from going after him in one of the big donor boxes. And, His wife was screamed at and had to be hurried out of some other area."
Nah, Trump people aren't a bit violent.
If the Ds truly cared about the downtrodden and unfortunate wouldn't they through some wrenches in their convention to make the Rs feel better?
Birkel,
Don't assume everything that seems like an error is. Are you new to these threads?
PB&J: "...big donor boxes..."
What's all this I'm hearing about big donut boxes? Why do we need such large boxes for donuts? Did the donuts get larger or are they simply wasting space and cardboard? I don't think it's wise to be this wasteful of sp.......er, what's that?
Never mind.
How was the potty break Anonymous, Everything come out O.K.?
I denounce myself.
Millions of new voters y'all.
Don't be forgettin' now: I know you won't.
Mwhahahaha.
"...wouldn't they through [sic] some wrenches..."
Comedy gold.
Chuck,
Wouldn't you say that Trump is trying to win your support? Look at his Supreme Court list? look at his VP choice?
Look how he let his enemies from the primaries (who have many supporters still) speak.
Then, look outside the RNC convention. The ten of thousands of protesters who were going to mobilize and show Trump have melted away like snowflakes in the sun. That does mean something.
Look at how he has reduced the media to driveling Pajama Boys, spending their time attacking a attractive woman.
Isn't he right when he says it's time to spend time on America, not on the globalizers?
I don't mean this nastily - but what is it that you want Trump to do?
