#1 And so it begins. I thought he sounded like a Donk a few days ago, slamming Bush on WMDs. Now he's exposed the spoiled brat side - "I don't like the rules, so I'm going to play another game."

#5 Keeping his word was never a strong suit for this jackass.

#6 Well, he's right about stacking the audiences. If it makes no difference to the donors, then give the tickets to a truly representative audience. But they won't. Because it makes a difference.

#7 Trump hasn't broken his word - he's "evolved". If you haven't noticed he does that alot.

#8 Yeah, what a fool. He thought the RNC would play fair.

#9 Goodbye Reagan blue collar democrats, hello socialism.

The Left believes in the fantasy that socialism is economically viable.
The Right believes in the fantasy that its still a constitutional republic.

Both lie to themselves that if they just get the right person in place, he/she can make it work. Too much power and money has been concentrated to scale back. Those holding it are not going to politely give it up. It's an oligarchy. Your real choice is Caesar, Pompey or Crassus.

The choice is between anti-American socialists or a boorish pro-American crony capitalist. I held my nose for liberals passing as in Bush I, Bush II, Romney, and the Trunks version of Hillary, McCain. If it comes to it, you can hold your nose too.

#10 Not a dime's worth of difference between Hildebeest and Bush III. If it comes to that I'll vote third party in protest. It won't make any difference because Bush-Clinton turned California blue with illegal immigration so my vote is nullified anyway. Republicans are so stupid they gave the state with the most electoral votes to the Democrats. That's how they lost me. Screw 'em.

#11 That agreement was created by the GOP to buy time. The stupid GOP thought Trump would implode but instead eh has done better. So now Jeb and the establishment would rather back Hillary than Trump. Trump has no choice; the GOP cannot be trusted.

#12 It'll be fascinating to see his numbers if he breaks away. Somehow I think they'll go down big time but maybe the Republican label is keeping a lot of Union folks from joining up with Trump.

#13 It would be interesting to see him go independent, and to see Bloomberg run as an independent. We'd have a European style multi-party election for once.

#14 Maybe that's what we need because this Bush-Clinton business isn't working any more.

#15 Whaddaya mean "any more," #14 EU?

#16 The thing I like least about Trump that he's constantly whining about others not being "fair" to him... journalists, the GOP and what have you.

He should know best that life isn't fair, and that It's a lot easier to make a billion when you get started with daddy's millions. And if you can't handle Megan, how will you handle the Russians, the Chinese, the Saudis or Pudgy?

Being president is not about yourself, Donald.

#17 So many misread him. Especially the media types.He has the people behind him. He was reaching out to the people who are usually left out. He will pull form all demographics. He is a master at controlling the media. The elites and those who think they are elites don't get it. They want to control who gets to play in this game.
"DONALD J TRUMP AWARDED AN HONORARY CAMELOT CASTLE KNIGHTHOOD IN ENGLAND.

Today Camelot Castle - England - Formally recognized Donald Trump's Humanitarian deeds and Services to Humanity and awarded him an Honorary, Hereditary Camelot Castle Knighthood - Henceforth at Camelot Castle Donald Trump shall be referred to as Sir Donald Trump of Camelot.

The Round Table. This Historic and noble, very rarely granted honor, "The Excalibur Award" was awarded to Mr Trump along with the Arms and Colors of Camelot Castle for extending tremendous courage and noble intentions towards his country and to the world." Let the dogs bark this wagon train is moving on.

#18 What did that post #17 mean? Can someone translate it to English?

#19 "Though Donald's not modeled on Ronald,
He needn't by you lot be coddled!
A new suit of armor
Encumbered the charmer
As from the Round Table he waddled."

No diss to Dale. I'm leaning Trump myself, barring better reasons than I've heard thus far to put the pin back in.

#20 Good as always ZF. Suit of armor indeed. I enjoy the Camelot idea. Only a person larger than life could assume such a title. Hillary, hardly, Sanders no way. We have a grand show to watch. The silent majority is silent no longer. Now he is a magnificent target from both sides. I hope he has good security.

#21 I disagree - much as I dislike Bush III, he is still so much less odious than Clinton that one should hold one's nose and vote for him rather than third party or staying home. Have we learned nothing from 2008 & 2012?

#22 If Dale's post is giving GCG7496 brain hiccups, I can't wait until he encounters one of Joe M's belt-fed masterpieces with a fritter on top.
