    With all the goo -goo gah gah over this guy, it reminds me of Chris Matthews "I have a tingle down my leg" in regards to Obama. What, exactly, has Trudeau done as of yet? Has he done anything at all worthy of praise besides just "look dreamy"?

    When I see quotes like:

    the Associated Press talked up his “star power,” and on Tuesday the Beltway-based Politico ran a story titled “Justin Fever Hits Washington,” which opened with a quote from an unnamed senior Obama administration official who declared that “with his looks, heart, and mind, he’s dreamy … my new political crush.”

    Trump has backed up on the wall ("subject to negotiation"), the deportations (same), killing terrorists' families ("take 'em out" means... for coffee!), and torture ("I wouldn't break international law"). What's left of his platform and promises now, the blockade of Muslim immigrants?

  4. Trump is full of crap and people are eating it up. I would suggest an after-dinner mint.

  5. One chart that shows how wrong Donald Trump is about the economy


    Donald Trump doesn't have a positive view of the US economy. "GDP was 0 essentially for the last two quarters," Trump said at Thursday night's debate. "If that ever happened in China you would have had a depression like nobody has ever seen. They go down to 7 percent, 8 percent and it's a national tragedy. We're at zero. We've lost our jobs. We've lost everything. We're losing everything."

    By "GDP," Trump presumably means the growth rate of gross domestic product. And Trump is simply wrong about this. Even if you adjust for inflation, the US economy has been growing the last couple of quarters:

    GDP grew at a 2.1 percent annual rate in the third quarter of 2015, and 1.9 percent in the fourth quarter.

    The other key thing to note, however, is that the United States is way, way richer than China. The median household income in the United States was $53,657 in 2014. The average income of an urban household in China was around $4,500 — and households in rural areas earn even less.

    So Americans haven't "lost everything." The average Chinese person would be ecstatic to earn the wages of an average American.

    The only thing that matters to Trump supporters is that he is the only candidate that cares about the white race.

    I just saw an anti-Trump commercial on CNN about his statements on women that was pretty devastating. Heavy artillery.

    Yes because the sky is green and the ocean is black.

    He later clarified with Hannity the wall and deportations are non-negotiable. What is negotiable is whether the wall is 40 feet high. Or 50 feet high etc. He backed off on killing terrorist families but said they will be prosecuted/interrogated etc. Torture he recently said waterboarding is fine and he's willing to go further.

    Trump has doubled down with his decision to prosecute rioters at his speeches. Another bold move.
