It's a good thing that he's sucking up so much oxygen, that Carson and Rubio can't get their noxious antiabortion messages out, and that Bush can't catapult his bogus claims of economic miracles in Florida, and Walker can't spew his anti labor teacher bashing garbage. The GOP <i>IS</i> rotten at it's core right now. Rick Perry who should have dropped out by now, will crawl on, due to his PAC stepping in to keep the lights on. If this indicates a trend for weak candidates with sugardaddy money, the crowded GOP dais will stay that way for a much longer time than usual, allowing these rodents (including the Donald)to chew each other to stumps before super Tuesday.petrillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889489779105405703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-33363890452799007552015-08-13T20:49:37.850-04:002015-08-13T20:49:37.850-04:00I should know better than to argue with someone fr...I should know better than to argue with someone from "The City", but I am just a yokel from the Midwest, so what do I know. What I know is that because I live near Cleveland, Ohio, a bell weather state, more people watched the Fox debate than I ever thought that would. And I am here to tell you, the Would be Republican voters all came away depressed. "There's no one to vote for," they all said. Apparently most people here in the great unwashed part of the country feel that none of these candidates stood for anything they could believe in. The local Cleveland Pain Feeler, the obedient dog of the uber-rich, crowed that they were all remarkable. But 30 minutes south in Akron, the old BJ (try.naming your publication that!) said the equivalent of "Oy vey!" Us poor folks of no great consequence can see that these emperors have no clothes. The Mook is right to crow. If this keeps up, we are looking at an electoral landslide not seen since Grandpa Ronnie titty twisted Mondale. Only, it will be the Dems that will be smiling.<br /><br />Of course, what do I know. Just a dirt farmer with a PhD. Not as smart as you city slickers.<br /><br />With much appreciation,<br />Luigid, Pemerton, Dixie, Shed & the SilksterLuigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483229810538275725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-38982857702710670962015-08-13T15:58:28.880-04:002015-08-13T15:58:28.880-04:00I agree Unknown,
The media profit structure thing ...I agree Unknown,<br />The media profit structure thing is not going away...what I don't understand is that corporations are wealthier than ever and people running them have benefited more than in the past. Most republicans of the past would be democrats today. Why this aversion to redistribution to maintain the middle class??…it’s now being artificially maintained through cheap debt…why not replace that debt with wealth redistribution like in the past.<br />In a nutshell…it’s the corporate leadership tied to republicanism philosophy of today which does not resemble the past which shows too much the incompetence when they speak which is scary…<br />Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07068578537190718769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-44290847375785164262015-08-13T14:57:51.638-04:002015-08-13T14:57:51.638-04:00"Rot" was meant as a reference to the GO..."Rot" was meant as a reference to the GOP and its failures, though I may not have been clear about that.Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11963290427258439242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-27090463390566356912015-08-13T14:50:31.972-04:002015-08-13T14:50:31.972-04:00I disagree with calling the media support for the ...I disagree with calling the media support for the GOP brand as "rot". It's simply a function of ownership. <br /><br />All the major network, cable, AM, FM and print media are own by corporations who to some significant extent identify with the Republican establishment and the goals of its leadership. Some minority of media outlets have a branding strategy that includes appearing to reach out to some minority groups, like women, non-whites and liberals, but it's almost entirely motivated by business analysis, not idealism, philosophy or ideology. It's the hypocrisy within those media outlets faking outreach that give off the whiff of rot.Feud Turgidsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379322096770703017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-15268997260406590162015-08-13T14:31:34.834-04:002015-08-13T14:31:34.834-04:00The rot is in the media itself…they are just hired...The rot is in the media itself…they are just hired help in advertising products….be careful with Trump he is a competent messenger…no one in the republican field can match him at the political level he knows how to feed them and blow the competition… its now obvious that the republican field is very weak….if the billionaire republican sugar daddies, GE and Disney line up against him that can prove his downfall. He would have no oxygen to fight back and he is not dumb enough to use his own money…so far hate radio is protecting him…can’t wait to see a sign that he has bagged one of the sugar daddies…then you know he will win… poor JEB it was obvious from the start that he is not a very good politician…all that money and can’t message…the media will have to help himMarcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07068578537190718769noreply@blogger.com
