Which TRUTH would that be?   I thought the clip was funny.  

Hmm.  I do think it's interesting that the TRUMP campaign wants to put to bed a distracting story.  Apparently this person confessing her error will be retained by TRUMP and suffer no repercussions.  I admire loyalty above no other human capacity.  Perhaps we witness ownership.  Perhaps we witness the evolution of a candidate, embracing his own persona, yet... heeding advice.  
There is much to consider.  Such a perspective is unworthy of thought?

LOL Rush was just talking about it and playing sound bites of the so called Plagiarized speech. Then he played sounds bites of Michelle Obama's speech and Elizabeth Dole's speech. Seemed that Michelle stole Elizabeth's words - but the truth is the words that all 3 women were common words that had a narrow expression. This is as much as plagiarism as if one can claim the Texas Chain Saw Massacre 2 chain saw fight was plagiarizing the chain saw fight in Motel Hell.

Uhm... it wasn't plagiarizing... as you well know.  The chain saw fight in MOTEL HELL...was spoofing TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE.

Yeah... but Motel Hell was the first with dualing chain saw fights.

WOW Ted Cruz is such a baby. If Ted Cruz cannot handle the mud from Trump; than how the hell can we (the American Voter) expect Ted Cruz could handle the mud from Hillary. Anybody thinks Hillary is not going to get dirtier is day dreaming.

And right now - Trump is correct - Lying Ted... :D

[indianasmith]

I don't care for Cruz that much, but personally, I wanted to hug him.
He was unwilling to sell his soul to this horrible demagogue my party has embraced.

I think Ross Perot was a better Trump, if that makes sense. I like Trump's anti NATO stuff though.

I'm not sure what was the point of Cruz's speech.

1 - if Cruz didn't show up... Trump looks good and Cruz looks like a crybaby but his political career was not over.  Trump wins.

2 - if Cruz did show up and supported Trump... Both men look good. Trump wins and Cruz wins.

3 - What Cruz had done in the speech... Cruz looks like a whining little b***h.  Cruz is now unlike and has no political career. Trump wins.

The only thing that annoyed me about Cruz is that he was assumed to be the next Reagan now he's nothing.


I did like Cruz but he seemed to hold his personal affairs at a higher standard than the needs of the American people (No vote for Trump is a vote for Hillary). Supporting Trump don't mean - licking Trump's toe jam! So I don't know what the F he's b***hing about.


I do agree with Rush. Rush pointed out that the other republican's will start to think twice on not supporting Trump because Cruz was booed off the stage; and it looked really ugly.

I'm sorry but backing Hilary is a terrible idea, and Trump's even f*cking worse.

Either of them in charge, we've got WW3.

I agree-Trump is a fearmonger-he's got an itchy trigger finger.
And Hillary will just let Isis run wild. Sigh.  Ah well-I always wanted to see how cool it would look to see thousands of IBM trails zooming overhead.
That would be a sight!

Yeah, I remember when Reagan was running for president and everybody thought we were looking at World War 3, too...

Trump is far more of a threat to the DC pro war consensus than Hillary. Every day on my twitter feed ex Bush/ Iraq war guys bellyache about him. Especially about how he wants better relations with Russia, who they all hate for some reason.

"Trump Enrages the War Party"

Here's my prediction, and we are going to have to wait for about 2020 to see if I'm right:

After Trump wins the Presidency, all the 'doom and gloom' forecasts are shown, by what actually happens during his Presidency, to be pure and utter pontificating horse feces.

Just like pretty much the predictions made by every political pundit / talking head out there, such as, but not limited to:

(a) Liberalization of the laws against guns in an area will cause  "Blood in the streets! Gun Violence will go UP!"

Proven wrong so many times it takes a special kind of stupid to make that statement now, after over 20 years of active research showing it's a wrong assumption / forecast.

(b) Anthropogenic Global Warming  

I'll leave these here:

https://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/04/02/the-big-list-of-failed-climate-predictions/

(c) The GOP won't let Trump have the nomination

Well, I think we see how that worked out.

(d) Bernie can beat Hillary in the primaries.

So, what's the common theme with ALL these 'predictions?'

They are promulgated by those with decidedly left-authoritarian leaning sources...D or R.  

So, you will forgive me as I look at the big picture surrounding all this press, all the discussion, all the ire (against Trump) and all the pearl clutching and pronounce my OWN conclusion based on the data in front of me:

The already discredited whiners that try to predict the future are once again going to have to eat the words of their predictions.  They are WRONG about everything else, so the safe money is that they are DEAD WRONG about Trump as well.

Your mileage may vary.  I don't care, but that's MY prediction.  Let's meet back here in 5 years and see who was right.  You know, just for grins.
