Transcript:
Donald Trump: You're all thinking it. I'll say it! Sarah Palin heading up my birther operation? Genius! She's the total package-- solid conspiracy credentials, huge reality star! Off-the-charts homemaker! Incredible Tweeter! Fox contributor! A huge celeb! And Governor also. With an amazing figure! Seriously! You could've been a stewardess!

She majored in communications but one wouldn’t know by the way she speaks. Ann Coulter has a J.D. from Mich. but one wouldn’t know by her writing. It reminds me of what a world politician of the 1930s and ’40s said: “If you wish the sympathy of broad masses then you must tell them the crudest and most stupid things.” That was Adolf Hitler.

It would seem nearly all political parties have had their demagogues.

I can see Florida from my house. Of course, it helps that I live in Florida.

Interesting to note how Rick and Mark (reporters in the audience) seem to be amused, and the woman probably is. Roland, however, is all serious, like the horse in Ren and Stimpy. (See Google Images, horse ren and stimpy no sir)

Doonesbury is amused, too.

It’s good to remember that Trump was the chief fundraiser for Willard the ChickenHawk.-And, most of the Republican presidential candidates travelled to New York for Trump’s blessing.-Why, oh why, doesn’t someone on Fox “news” ask Donald if Rafael Cruz is constitutionally eligible to be president of the U.S.?

I’m amazed at all the good things he’s gotten done, dragging the dead weight of a treasonous republican/tea party behind him.

This example falls short of treason, but here goes:
A law was passed following the procedures spelled out in Article I, Section 7 of the US Constitution. It was subsequently challenged but declared by the Supreme Court to be constitutional. It has also withstood something like 41 attempts to repeal it. Now a fraction of the House of Representatives (not even a majority of it) is making an underhanded attempt to repeal it DE FACTO by shutting down most of the government, and playing chicken with default, rather than following the procedures of Article I to repeal it. Their effort may fall within the letter of the Constitution, but not its intent. The Congressmen involved disrespect the Constitution and have put themselves above it. James Madison must be turning over in his grave.
So much for John Adams’ notion that we have a “government of laws, and not of men.”
If the Republicans don’t like the ACA, they will need to win a few elections, so they can improve or repeal it in accordance with Article I, instead of saying “If I can’t be the quarterback, I’ll take my ball and go home,” when it isn’t even their ball.

I have never liked Trudeau’s attention to Trump who is a pig and shouldn’t even be given the attention to be made fun of. And than to add Palin……time to move to the next plot line.

You’re a prime example impaired higher functions…
