Trust me, the Democrats are not "in total control". If they were the social programs would be piling up all over the place and you would have 120 days to turn in your guns. We have what's called stalemate. Nothing is happening and our ultra lame, lame duck president is using his executive powers in hopes that a Democrat will win in November and that the courts will rule his moves constitutional.

Also I would not be calling Obama a "radical". If he were, he would be calling for the government take over of private enterprise and the means of production. He would be playing Robin Hood by force. Basically nearly everyone would be shocked and he would likely be arrested. No, he is just a regular ol' left wing politician. He ain't the devil.

The problem with our government isn't the president. It isn't the congress. It's the people of the United States. We are divided. We no longer have common goals, or even in some cases, common values. To my knowledge, the country has never been like this before.

It will take the right orator with a lot of charisma and a fantastic plan to bring the people back together and move forward with that plan. Sadly this person has yet to arise and nobody running for president this November is this person.

Don't think the Dems are in total control?  Please show some Republican legislation that has passed.  The budget was just approved (with Paul Ryan taking the lead) and handed Obama and the left everything they wanted, and more.  McConnell is powerless having to let Harry Reid keep calling the shots.  Obama rules via "executive order" and goes unchecked by Congress (Republican majority, no less)

But you are right, Congress is one huge fucked up mess.  They ALL need to go in November, lock, stock and barrel.

Probably somebody finally told him how our government works. It must be a huge disappointment to him. He has to work with Congress. He can't make laws on his own.

To my knowledge there is no Trump party with loyal Trump Party candidates running for the House and the Senate. He promised them power because he has no choice in the matter. They do have power and even though he can impede their power, he can't take it from them, but they can over ride him if need be.

 How's that been working out so far?   A radical left wing President, and a Congress and Senate led by Republicans.  Yet the Democrats are in total control.

LMAO, it was OK when it was "Constitutional scholar" BH O'Bama.

Another trait of the liberals is to degrade anyone who is conservative, mock them as being stupid, uneducated and devoid of anything intelligent.

Alinsky's Rules for Radicals #5 and 13:

5.  “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

13.  “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

Got it. So just to clarify, your hatred of Cruz has nothing to do with your belief that he is not a Constitutionalist and that he doesn't understand the First Amendment, as you stated, and everything to do with your own anti- Christian bigotry.

Thanks for the explanation.

Ding ding ding........We have a winner!

that devil.

Pardon?

On POA, that would be grounds for shutting the entire board down!   

don't know abou that, SZ material can still be found in Hangar Talk

That's because members of the MC are participating.  Once they get the feeling they are being seriously challenged, they may will probably delete the thread.

 You just have to be a part of the clique.

I think Rubio is electable.  You heard it here first 

I think he is too. I think he is the GOP's best shot at this point, but sadly, the conservative constituents seem to mostly favor Trump, or Cruz. I hate to say it, but it's all setting up to be another Clinton win. However, a lot can change between now and November.

 If Clinton makes it to the convention and has enough delegates for the nomination, Sanders will give the DNC a middle finger and run as an Independent.  This will split the vote and put the Republican nominee in the WH.  Now Bloomberg is making noise he may jump in as an Independent will further dilute the vote for the democrats.

 The other scenario is Hillary doesn't make it, the convention happens and the DNC (in desperation) drafts Biden.  Then Bernie does his thing and Bloomberg jumps in as well.

 The DNC is facing a long uphill battle this time.  They pinned their hopes on HRC and presumed it to be her coronation. Little did they realize (a) The public is sick and tired of "establishment" politicians, and (b) The appeal of "outsiders" to the voting public.

I think Rubio is the only electable GOP candidate.  He MUST make it onto the ticket.

 He won't, his polling numbers confirm that.
