If only Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (sic) was head of the RNC, perhaps the uber-electable-in-a-general-election John Kasich could have been rigged into the nomination instead of this vile moron. But the GOP and conservatives in general have sadly been going after the lowest common denominator for years now and only have themselves to blame.

Just for the weak minded - Donald Trump wasn't considered a vile moron before running for the Presidency. Mitt Romney had bipartisan respect, successfully running Massachusetts, a very blue state, before the left demonized him in 2008. Before that, they ridiculed McCain, a war hero with a political history of reaching across the aisle, even making fun of the fact that he couldn't fully raise his arms that were broken as a POW. So when the leftists who hijacked the Democratic party stat with the name calling - Gov. Christie is a fat slob, etc etc, and littering their private emails with racist, anti-semitic venom, it's no wonder Hillary had to delete 30,000 emails before turning her private (illegal) server that compromised national security over to the state department.
I recommend you review your notes regarding the US invasion of Iraq under false circumstances and the impact of that act on a faux country drawn on a map after WWI.
Our invasion of Iraq set up the implosion and Civil War that followed. Bush & Co., aggressively de-Baathistized the country (following the people throwing flowers at our troops), empowered the Shiites (60%+ of the population) and ultimately Al-Maliki. Al-Maliki began a vicious oppression of the non-Kurd Sunnis, the country's former ruling sect--although ~25% of the population.
Baathists and tribal Sunni Sheiks led the rebellion against this oppression. The famed 'surge' was nothing more than the USA bribing Sunni Sheiks to form an alliance with the Shiites (who offered concessions) to fight Al Qaeda In Iraq, the original post invasion Islamic insurgent group.
This effort initially succeeded until Al-Maliki again oppressed the Sunnis. This spawned ISIL, now ISIS, around 2007 - 2008, well before Obama took office. ISIS is comprised of about 30%+ of former senior Baathists and generals who are prominent in that monstrous group.
The USA stayed in Iraq until 2011-12. One reason for pulling out US troops was that they were needed to stabilize Afghanistan.
Bush had turned victory in that country to defeat when he allowed Musharraf to give haven to Bin Laden and the Taliban and when he invaded Iraq.
By 2011, no President would've been able to generate popular public support for two multi-front wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Iraq was always unwinnable and Afghanistan became a quagmire driven by Bush's obsequious handling of Musharraf and his de-mobilization of our troop presence there.
The truth is that Bush's dishonest invasion of Iraq set off the implosion of Iraq and the entire Middle East, including Syria and Libya and Egypt and Tunisia (the only country still having some form of a 'Republic').
The winners of Bush & Co's hideous crimes have been Iran (now the regional hegemon), Russia (loved by Republicans & Trump), and the extremists.
Bush and Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Mushroom Cloud Condoleeza Rice, Bolton, Wolfowitz, et al, should've been impeached, indicted, and prosecuted.
I'm a YUGE believer in redemption. Sadly, the American People are still waiting for those pompous lying B*tards to apologize.

You'd love to have one of your kids be as stupid in business.
Wow I never realized that the Republicans were so defenseless and victimized. Right now Trump is killing Trump and he has NOBODY to blame but himself.
I voted for Romney for Governor, that person didn't run for President and it was a shame for him. I would imagine the shots taken at Obama were legitimate and the poor boys were attacked unfairly?
Other than that you are one of my favorite basketball posters! Go figure.

The only problem with your diatribe is that President Clinton (the first one to like women he wasn't married to) believed that Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, and that Hussein did use chemical weapons against Kuwaitis when they invaded in 2003.
There were no shortage of troops to place in Afghanistan, and that was never Obama's goal (troop redeployment). Even in bungling Afghanistan, he ignored his own military leadership and kept troops at dangerously low level.
The fallacy that Obama was handed an Iraq that was out of control is a liberal myth. It was stable, but sorely still in need of security forces, and Obama destabilized the region by pulling troops out. For that matter, who fights a war and announces a pullout date before the war is over. Only an incompetent idiot who had the foolish notion that he was the world's president and world history would treat him favorably by not using American military might.
I do agree that the solution to ethnic hatred in Iraq could have been to divide the country in three (several politicians on both sides of the aisle had proposed this in theory).
While the experience of running a multibillion dollar corporation is not adequate to take the reigns of the most powerful nation on earth, neither is being a community organizer who never had a single person report to him. Of course the divisive Obama told small business owners, the backbone of the American economy, that "you didn't build that - somebody else did".
Now for all of his incompetencies, one of Obama's strengths is reading a teleprompter. Of course, to him the truth is irrelevant. Aside from a deep hatred for one another the common ground between Hilliary and Barry is they will continually lie through their teeth. Both are also good at the politics of divisiveness.
There is no need to dial it back 8 years, when Hillary is running as Obama II. Just look at the last 8 years.
If you want to vote for a woman whose hand doesn't get caught in the cookie jar, but has always been in the cookie jar, then vote for Clinton. There's a good chance that every speech she makes will put $250K - $1 mm in her pocket.

A pompous moron who brags about having graduated from Penn but it took his brother's influence with a friend who was an admisssions officer and his father's hefty donation to get him out of Fordham after 2 years. He may have turned out to be a better human being had he stayed with the Jesuits.

Pompous - yes. Moron - no.
Politically astute - no.
But akso the mainstream media will jump on and twist every little gaffe out of context and blow it out of proportion.
For my money Khan is a coward who attacked Trump mercilessly and then hid behind his hero son's service to make himself inmune from criticism.

Things were so great when George Bush was President. I can't wait for another Republican President.
Was the mother of one of our murdered embassy people in Benghazi, who attacked Hillary Clinton 'mercilessly' at the Republican Convention also a coward?
Did Hillary attack that woman, following those 'vicious' comments?
No?
Oh.
And don't rant on the # of embassies and consulates attacked or the number of US employees killed under GW Bush versus under Obama.
You'll lose.
Granted, the Benghazi tragedy is more 'controversial' because we lost an Ambassador (first time since the '70s) and all our embassies lacked adequate 'security forces' because Republicans voted / blocked necessary funding for embassies in 2010--but that's another story, ain't it?

And let me guess, you believe the 30,000 emails deleted were strictly yoga class schedules and wedding plans. No, hill showed her true colors when she lied to the families while the bodies were coming off the plane. But the sheep will believe evrything they are fed......enjoy life in the bubble.
