&q...From Nate Silver's Five Thirty-Eight blog:<br /><br /><b>"...the Trump’s-really-got-a-chance! case is rooted almost entirely in polls. If nothing Trump has said so far has harmed his standing with Republicans, the argument goes, why should we expect him to fade later on?<br /><br />One problem with this is that it’s not enough for Trump to merely avoid fading. Right now, he has 25 to 30 percent of the vote in polls among the roughly 25 percent of Americans who identify as Republican. (That’s something like 6 to 8 percent of the electorate overall, or about the same share of people who think the Apollo moon landings were faked.) As the rest of the field consolidates around him, Trump will need to gain additional support to win the nomination. That might not be easy, since some Trump actions that appeal to a faction of the Republican electorate may alienate the rest of it. Trump’s favorability ratings are middling among Republicans (and awful among the broader electorate)."</b>Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-15416583303128320502015-11-23T22:14:39.181-05:002015-11-23T22:14:39.181-05:00Flying Junior: "Let's work with our repu...Flying Junior: "Let's work with our republican brothers and sisters to defeat this menace."<br /><br />I've read that the sane Republicans are set to do that very thing.

We are talking about hatred and the JFK assassination, among several other things. Which is fine.<br /><br />The thing that blew my mind was the commentary on Trump. "Get him the hell outta here!" to loud cheers. Loud, fucking cheers. Something that might have been written or scripted by Orwell. The arrest is filmed rather well in the 1930s American Nazi Rally at Madison Square Garden. Right down to the policeman making sure that the evergreen tree didn't fall down in it's pot. It would be interesting to see how rough security was on the BLM guy at Trump's rally. Surely there were enough people getting video on their phones. Maybe a black blog? I will surely let you know if I get any better footage.<br /><br />Trump is channeling Hitler! He's the new American Hitler! No more talk about "Please win the denomination," s'il vous plait. You don't play with dynamite and you don't play soccer on a crowded freeway. Let's work with our republican brothers and sisters to defeat this menace.

To accept that we Americans will always approach politics with venom, hatred, and murderous intentions is to accept that we will always be an immature nation condemned to unrelenting hatreds for the rest of our history. That's not exactly how an "exceptional" country behaves, at least not in my opinion.<br /><br />Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-83335694622672899912015-11-23T13:21:54.714-05:002015-11-23T13:21:54.714-05:00Looking back on that day, it was as if something s...Looking back on that day, it was as if something snapped in our country. I was in a store with my mom shopping for items for my soon to be held birthday party when the news broke. One of the ladies running the store feinted. My mom grabbed me and said we needed to get home. And stay home. I was to turn 5 in a few days, but remember that day as if it were yesterday.<br /><br />It was if the US had lost her age of innocence.<br /><br />I often wonder if the wound we suffered that November day was a mortal wound to the United States.

Same with his brothers killing. Oswald never cried racial motives, or political motives; and neither did Sirhan Sirhan.<br />"he is a psychopathically disturbed young man" is the reason the author gives, yet, goes on to blame hate. They are not the same. (I guess Mr. McGill cannot spell either). <br />"some of the Southern newspapers received anonymous cheering calls, saying, "So they shot the Negro lover. Good for whoever did it." <br />No doubt some racist said that, but it was far from an accepted thought. And to infer that, is falsely stating the vast majority thinking when JFK was shot. Why would someone mislead with that kind of extremist example?<br />"For some years now the more vocal extremists, left and right, have directly or indirectly encouraged violence and defiance of federal authority."<br />For some years? Try since before the country became a nation (some centuries). In fact it's no worse now, than ever before. In fact, it used to be MUCH worse. <br />"It has been increasingly plain that there are American men and women who no longer feel any love for their country. They have withdrawn in hate."<br />That's nothing new and certainly much worse 100, or even 200 years ago. To find current examples of hate towards our president doesn't mean hate within America is worse now than ever before.

But the Geezus blog dedicates itself to Andrew Breitbart, who said this about Senator Ted Kennedy when he died:<br /><br /><b>@AndrewBreitbart<br />AndrewBreitbart<br />Rest in Chappaquiddick<br />26 Aug 09 via web<br /><br />To which, Breitbart added as descriptors of the recently deceased Senator<br />a “villain,” “a big ass motherf@#$er,” a “duplicitous bastard” and a “prick.”<br />And finally, this attempt at a joke<br /><br />“I’ll shut my mouth for Carter. That’s just politics. Kennedy was a special pile of human excrement,”</b><br /><br />That's the guy who the Geezus folks admire. That's as bad as anything that was said about Tony Snow, but we'll never read that on a blog that admires Breitbart and allows people to talk about assassinating the President of the United States.Anonymous Reader of TeaPublican Blogsnoreply@blogger.com
