If NOTHING else comes of this and like some here have predicted Trump bows out when the primaries start because he's not really serious (I don't necessarily buy that...but who knows?), at the LEAST he may have started the tinder enough to get a blaze going.
And we need a frackin' BONFIRE to clean up this debris!
I should just give up and realize this is what America is coming too.
We have had a community organizer why not have a slum lord reality star that has filed bankruptcy numerous times an had multiple wives.
At least we will get Universal health care....

Donald Trump is running strong in the early nominating states of Iowa and New Hampshire, according to two new NBC News-Marist polls.
Trump leads the Republican presidential field in New Hampshire, getting support from 21 percent of potential GOP primary voters. He's followed by Jeb Bush at 14 percent, Scott Walker at 12 percent and John Kasich at 7 percent.
Chris Christie and Ben Carson are tied at 6 percent in the Granite State, and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are at 5 percent each.
In Iowa, Walker and Trump are in the Top 2 - with Walker at 19 percent among potential Republican caucus-goers and Trump at 17 percent. They're followed by Bush at 12 percent, Carson at 8 percent, Mike Huckabee at 7 percent and Rand Paul at 5 percent.
Meanwhile, in another poll released Sunday by NBC News, Trump is leading in New Hampshire and second only to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in Iowa.
Together, the polls indicate there is no sign that the Trump juggernaut is slowing down. Both polls are notable because they were the first taken after the flap last weekend when Trump seemed to disparage the service record of Sen. John McCain during a forum in Iowa.
"...Republicans More Likely to See Own Party Unfavorably
Self-identified Republicans are more than twice as likely to view their own party unfavorably (27%) as Democrats are to see their own party unfavorably (13%). The GOP's unfavorable rating among Republicans is up eight points from September, compared with a one-point rise in Democratic Party unfavorables among Democrats. These findings may be consistent with the widely circulated narrative that the Republican Party is internally splintered on how best to handle the budgetary negotiations.
Independents, meanwhile, remain unimpressed with both parties: Thirty-two percent view the Democratic Party favorably, while 27% view the Republican Party favorably..."
Turns out that much of the decline comes from within the party itself. The eGOP leadership has continually shown itself to be allies of the obamunists by its tacit support of the policies regarding our border, illegal immigration, the anti-Christian genderconfused agenda, increases in scope, size, regulations of the controllers in Washington, ad nauseum. The eGOP leaders and their Chamber allies have shown that they will fight harder against their conservative members than the liberal proregressive agenda.
They were given a loud mandate and elected into control of both houses of Congress to stand up against the excesses of the Obama/Democrats...and have shown themselves more aligned with them than the voters who put them into office.
Is it no wonder why a clown like Trump who has shown that he has no fear of either the media nor the eGOP leadership can speak what is in the hearts of those the party has abandoned has shown such widespread popularity that has NOT diminished in spite of his comments regarding McCain?
Neither the media nor the GOP seems to understand how to handle Trump. He has shown that he does not need their support or money to get a message across that resonates with a large part of the party who not only feels abandoned, but knows that their only value was the vote that put the Republicans in office. Instead, the only thing the eGOP can do is attack the one part of the party that actually has held to the desires of the disaffected GOP voters: Cruz and the conservative elements. The GOP leadership has the support of the Chamber of Commerce to go after and remove them in the upcoming elections.
It will not be Trump that causes a Clinton victory, but the fact that Trump has shown what the GOP has become. If the GOP had the fire in its belly to stand up to the obamunist pogroms that Trump has no fear of talking about, it might actually have a chance. Instead, it will continue to be at war with those who put them into office.
WRT McCain himself...at what point does his recent and present voice and actions diminish his past military record? Like Trump, he has used his public voice to tarnish the reputations of those who have disagreed with his views. And, in his position and his military background, why has he not put the ever more exposed disgrace of the Veteran's Administration as a top priority over the problems we have from the illegal invaders.
At one time, Benedict Arnold was considered a military hero...
The only thing the eGOP seems to offer is the choice of the lesser weasel--meaning the only choice will be to vote against the Democrat proregressiv candidate vs. the opportunity of actually voting FOR a candidate/stance. Like most of those who see the Republican Party unfavorably, I am tired of defensive voting. I'd like to be on the offence for once.
Last I heard, there were 420+ candidates running for 2016 president. Bound to be one in there that agrees with you.

“You write a story that has Mr. Trump’s name in it, with the word ‘rape,’ and I’m going to mess your life up…for as long as you’re on this frickin’ planet … you’re going to have judgments against you, so much money, you’ll never know how to get out from underneath it,” Michael Cohen, special counsel to Trump, told The Daily Beast reporter Tim Mak.
During Friday's interview, Trump said the U.S. should take a two-step approach to the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the country.
"Well, the first thing we do is take the bad ones — of which there are, unfortunately, quite a few," said Trump, who owns three New Jersey golf courses and once owned three Atlantic City casinos. "We take the bad ones and get 'em the hell out. We get 'em out."
But he said the country should take a different approach with "the other ones" — i.e., undocumented immigrants who have "done a good job" since arriving in the U.S.
"I'm a very big believer in the merit system," Trump said. "I have to tell you: Some of these people have been here, they've done a good job. You know, in some cases, sadly, they've been living under the shadows. ... If somebody's been outstanding, we try and work something out.
"But before we do anything, we have to secure the border because the border is like having no border," he added.
If she denied it publicly why is the lawyer making such threats?
