The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[Omaha 680]

New poll in Ohio has Kasich down 5 to Trump. Trump is only down 8 to Cruz in Texas. Rubio more than 20 back.

Trump longs for the good old days when they would have to haul protesters out on stretchers.

Listened to conservative talk radio yesterday and today (a little bit of Limbaugh and Levin yesterday and the local hack this morning on the way to work) and it look like to me the fix is in to deliver a hatchet job to Rubio. Attack after attack after attack on Rubio about how unethical he is and how little experience he has (kinda funny since they all really want Cruz to win and he has been a senator for a shorter period than Rubio) and on and on.

Don't know if I am sad, mad, frustrated or in an I told you so mode. I was telling friends long ago the Hannity's, Beck's, Limbaugh's of the world were a cancer on the Republican party. The I am a conservative not a republican crap I never understood. They are dillusional or someone else can tell me what they are, but I get the feeling they think they represent a vast constituency that just isn't there. Look at their ratings. They have plummeted and even at their peaks their voice far outweighed the number of people who were actually following them.

I don't know why this hasn't happened to the democrats also. The radicals in their party have taken over, but the so called moderates have basically dissapeared.

The radicals in the republican party haven't taken over. If they had you wouldn't hear Hannity, Limbaugh and Beck whining so much and Cruz wouldn't be losing to Trump.

You are exactly right. I read the report by Buzzfeed, and my initial response was to soften my stance on Trump. The protestors were there to agitate and cause trouble. You yell over the speaker no matter who and you are there to cause trouble. Then the reporter leads with the so called words of a few idiots.

I heard someone say the media now is in the busines of accumulating followers. Unbiased reporting no longer occurs.

This would not cause me to vote for Trump, but I understand your point as to how the numbers would move.

Oh brother. Turn off your media paranoia for a moment. As the author says, these protestors show up at all of these things, including Obama speeches. Bernie Sanders had one of his speeches interrupted for a long time by the Black Lives Matter group. What is unique here is the manner in which Trump responded. Does that seem presidential to you?

The "so called words of a few idiots" you cite include Trump. The Idiot-In-Chief.

Oh really. I always appreciate your advice. Your wisdom is unmatched on this board.

I guess I have missed the idiotic quotes expressed by Sanders, Clinton or Obama supporters toward the protestors.

I actually don't know where the paranoia comes from. The media does such a great job providing unbias information. Well all of them except Fox which you seem to like to take on. I won't call it paranoia though because again you are the sage of the board.

Yes, all media sources are biased and everything should be filtered. But that doesn't mean one should discount everything reported in the media that doesn't confirm your pre-existing biases. Which is exactly what you routinely do.

I don't single out Fox News. I have stated several times that while I acknowledge their bias, I watch them as much or more than any other outlet. You are making unfounded assumptions.

And to further illustrate the absurdity of your "buzzfeed is biased" head-in-the-sand response, watch what happens when you google Trump's statement that he wants to punch the guy in the face:

That's unreal. Can't believe this is happening.

Quick break from the Trump crazy, to bring you an even higher level of insanity. Beck says America will undergo violent revolution in 10 years, if Hillary or Rubio(?!?) are elected. Of course, he said this while campaigning for Cruz.

http://www.mediaite.com/election-201...lary-or-rubio/

Can anyone identify the rabid citizens who have the same level of Hillary-hate with Rubio, who are going to violently protest if he gets elected? Is Beck one of them?

Let's hope most voters are keeping score of the idiots who are openly declaring themselves this election cycle, so they can be forgotten the next time.

I'm not sure what Beck sex America is but I don't want to find out.

Heck, if I had been Trump I would have wanted to punch the guy in the face. Many times after you respond to my posts I would like to punch you in the face. Difference between Trump and I is I wouldn't have said it.

All the news media has picked up on it prooves my point. By the way I would think it but I wouldn't really punch you. I am sure you would get many punches in in return for my one.
