Sensationalize it?  Yes!  Distort it?  No!  The media -- mainstream/old line and newfangled -- all want you to read/see what they offer.  That is how they make money.  Everyone tarts it up to a degree.  Most everything Trump says is taped, so there is little that can be distorted as the proof is there for all to see.

I this case, Trump was even given a chance and suggestion by the host that he walk it back a bit, and he doubled down.  It is not that anyone thinks he actually believes it.  That is not the worrisome part.  The worrisome part is that he runs his mouth with his brain in neutral.  Then to top it off, when caught out he can't admit that he may have misspoken, so he doubles down on whatever stupid thing he said.

The sad truth is that a lying, self-serving, probably corrupt politician like Hillary is a better choice the Trump.  Sadly, the best candidate on the ballot will not win, but I am still voting for him.

If you were going to hire a manager to take care of your family's finances and security, would you rather have an accomplished loudmouth or a thief?

==============================================

And an AR-15 is a M-16 modified so it's sales would not be restricted by the NFA. There have been further modifications over the years to get around various "assault weapon" bans, but they are silly and minor. We can dispense with all the silliness we want but the Left will not. They will argue that the AR-15 still retains nearly all of the characteristics that make the M-16 a great weapon of war.

You really need to learn history.  Because your knowledge is flawed, your entire post is invalid.

The M-16 is a modified AR-15.  The AR was the first gun, built and designed prior to the Vietnam War.  The ARmalite company sold the AR publicly and then sold the design to Colt who turned it into the M-16 and made it the weapon of the US Army.

The design of it was nothing new. I have a Sears Ranger .22 "rapidfire" rifle from before WWII which operates on the same principle - a bolt is pushed back by the expanding gas, a spring returns the bolt to position, picking up a new round along the way. 

Now, using your newly acquired knowledge, go back and read what you wrote.

Move the Republican Party to the right, at least the Presidential campaign, and it'll run smack into Hillary.  Trump's more liberal than she is.

Fucking ridiculous.

I find it intellectually dishonest of the anti-gunners to not define terms like "weapon of war"

They can't define it but they know it when they see it. 

  Haven't heard a peep from the mainstream media on any of this. 

Color me not surprised. MSM totally in tank for any D regardless of how repulsive.

Ryan is not perfect by any means. However, he was also left with a steaming pile of shit from Boehner that he had to dispense with.

Remember, he's only been Speaker for nine  months.  I think he's a man of character, and believe that's what carried the day in his district. (I'm about a mile from the northern edge of his Congressional district, so I didn't get a chance to vote for him, but I would have if he were my Representative.

I'm not speaking about you, Gimp, but I find it interesting that the harshest critics of Ryan are demanding conservative purity, but are strongly backing the most liberal person to ever to win the GOP nomination. See Sarah Palin, Ann "Skelator" Coulter, lucifer, et al.

Understood. 

Speaking for myself, given that we do have a liberal (for the GOP) candidate (much like the last 2 times IMO) I want the Speaker and the Senate Minority/Majority leader for the GOP to be staunchly conservative to help offset that.  I had high hopes for Ryan but have been deeply disappointed in his leadership to-date - it is no more accurate to pin the blame this far out on Boehner than it is for Obama to blame Bush IMO, but I get what you are saying.

However, I think Trump's economic policy/tax speech, and his list of potential SCOTUS nominees cover the vast majority of my small 'c' conservative objectives for FedGov, add in the moratorium on new reg's and withdrawal of previous Executive Orders and the platform is something I can get behind, even if the personality delivering it is problematic.

'Gimp

Hillary's functions are so tightly controlled, it is hard to believe he got there, behind the stage in full view of the audience and cameras, without someone arranging it or at least knowing about it.
