I've said it before and I'll say it again, if the end game wasn't somone in charge of a massive army and nuclear arsenal, it would be fascinating to watch this play out, like a science experiment. He just seems to say the first thing he thinks of, and within minutes can be saying the opposite.

 

Equally disturbing is watching the GOP coalesce around Ted Cruz, who isn't really any better, and in some ways worse.

Is this Trump's response to a Cruz supprter attack ad using a picture of his naked model wife?

 

One of the women Cruz is alleged to have been boinking is Sarah Igur Flores, who was the campaign manager for early republican runner, Carly Fiorina. Cruz allegedly handed over $500k funds (hush money?) to the Fiorina campaign in what looks like a decidedly dodgy set of shenanigans.

let alone when he's talking to a cunt of even more epic proportions.

Hmm... I dunno. I don't think there's much in it. Although if I had a gun held to my head and had to pick one of them to invite to a dinner party, it would be trump.

 

Edit: unless you were calling piers the bigger cunt, in which case I agree.

A petition to allow attendees to carry guns at an event where one of the candidates has promised riots if he's not allowed to win. What could possibly go wrong?

Tens of thousands of people have signed a petition calling for Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland to allow guns at the Republican National Convention — all in the name of safety.

 

The Change.org petition, which had more than 26,000 supporters as of Saturday evening, claims that the arena’s weapon ban makes those who attend the RNC in July “sitting ducks, utterly helpless against evil-doers and criminals.”

 

It’s addressed to Republican candidates like Donald Trump, who’s quoted as promising to eliminate gun-free zones in schools should he be elected.

 

“Cleveland, Ohio is consistently ranked as one of the top ten most dangerous cities in America,” the petition states. “By forcing attendees to leave their firearms at home, the RNC and Quicken Loans Arena are putting tens of thousands of people at risk both inside and outside of the convention site.”

 

The argument that gun-free zones are dangerous is thrown around loosely in political circles. It’s often legitimized by misguided anecdotes.

 

Trump and other candidates often finger the October mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon as a prime example of gun-free zones leaving locals at risk. While the college does prohibit guns on campus, school officials said at the time that the policy doesn’t apply to concealed carries allowed by state law. There were students on campus with guns, anyway — The Huffington Post spoke to an Air Force veteran who had a legal gun on his hip during the shooting that left 10 dead.

 

Ohio is an open carry state, but there’s no indication that the petition will have any effect on the arena’s rules, and gun advocates regularly use Change.org to propose sweeping policy change in the wake of tragedy. The gun ban has precedent, too — firearms were banned by the Secret Service at the RNC in Tampa in 2012, AFP reports.

 

If recent Republican rallies are any indication, it’s Trump who is putting convention-goers at risk. He regularly encourages violence at his events, and rallies that feature The Donald at the podium tend to conclude with fist fights, arrests and racism.

Yes. Hell be do far out of his depth he'll be totally reliant on the people around him. He'll just be a fall guy.

 

 

It's not the case of being totally reliant on anyone.  He will fall under the will of corporate interests and will be as malleable as all Republican (and most Democrat) politicians.  

 

He will just be the latest - and most grotesque - puppet to hold that office.
