Donald Trump makes up so much fiction that the media can't even keep up to his lies. Pointing out the lies does not sell the ads that fund the media. The Republicans by encouraging the Tea Party and the media by themselves in order to sell up, have painted all politicians as liars who are only out for themselves so Trump's behaviour fits the public's expectations.Bernie Sanders campaign has been virtually overlooked by the biased media who only want to cover the outrageous and I fear that Hillary Clinton, being a career politician, who has taken many many regressive positions throughout her spotted career may lose to Trump because she is seen as very dishonest. When people are seen in that light, Trumps lies and posturing don't seem that bad any more. See what it is like to be in the media covering Trump's campaign. It is a very frightening experience. Even worse than covering Harper was during his reign in Canada. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/cover_story/2016/03/on_the_trail_with_donald_trump_s_disgusting_press_corps.html?wpsrc=sh_all_mob_tw_topJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05694781164121246396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-65957812629573941622016-03-21T07:03:03.732-04:002016-03-21T07:03:03.732-04:00hi e.a.f...I really don't care what happens to...hi e.a.f...I really don't care what happens to Trump, but if he splits the Republican Party he will have done us a favour.

I also don't agree with people disrupting his rallies. I just find that his positions are too simplistic, like wrestler talk, and that he is stirring up passions that could tear the U.S. apart.

As for Trump, I van't help feeling that he is just a poseur. He'll say anything to be elected, and does as I said in my post draw heavily on his wrestling infatuation, where as you know it's fair game to caricature ethnic stereotypes, and words are just hot air. But please don't tell his followers that, because I do want them to destroy the Republican party...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-79369570934293896822016-03-20T20:35:45.395-04:002016-03-20T20:35:45.395-04:00In a party which isn't keen on democracy, they...In a party which isn't keen on democracy, they sure got their fare share of the problem. It is in Republican states, that voter suppression laws were instigated. it was an effort to keep people from voting for the Democrats. Its also took a lot of voters out of the game, which might be useful to have in the game now. <br /><br />The Republicans preached a form of non tolerance for years. Now they have the pinnacle of non tolerance and they're not happy about it. Forgive me, but Trump was democratically elected by Republicans. Now the party wants to subvert this democracy so they can get rid of what they were working to achieve.<br /><br />its weird. welcome to American politics.e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-75498355357474008892016-03-20T11:37:25.241-04:002016-03-20T11:37:25.241-04:00Any idiot can lose money.

Cries go to the heavens, “save the Republican Party before Trump wrecks it.”<br /><br />As a life-long (but now fallen away) Republican, I say “good riddance”. More power to Trump to blast apart this deeply corrupt, cynical party steeped in political payoffs and religious fanaticism, and run by former used car dealers from Pocatello.<br /><br />http://ericmargolis.com/2016/03/donald-bulldoze-the-rotten-gop/<br /><br />By the way Simon,how would feel if 11 million illegal immigrants came across the border into Canada?<br />Many people call Trump a facist.What do you call people who block hyways and impede other's from proceeding?<br />What do you call those who showed up in NY last night with their faces covered?<br />The very ones who complain about democracy.That's who.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-28819190366819100442016-03-20T10:04:16.121-04:002016-03-20T10:04:16.121-04:00The Republicans have spent years demonizing govern...The Republicans have spent years demonizing government and creating the Tea Party. Their chief political philosopher/theorist seems to be Rush Limbaugh since Newt Gingrich seems to be staying in the background.<br /><br />They have created their own monster, and he's one they don't own. All the money from people like the Koch brothers just is not working. Oh dear!<br /><br />I have heard a number of people compare Trump to Silvio Berlusconi---same blather without substance and so on---but Berlusconi is a very successful businessman which Trump is not and he has better hair. Of course, Berlusconi had some weird policy ideas. <br /><br />I wonder if he were PM of Italy today, would he be advocating a large boom across the Mediterranean to keep out migrants? Libya could pay for it.<br /><br /><br />jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.com
