Pledge supports your thoughts please

Real estate mogul Donald Trump will honor a pledge to release his own financial and tax information if President Obama released his birth certificate "at the appropriate time," he told ABC News today.

He's lining up a Cruz/Pence 2020 run. Still disgusting and utterly beta, low t stuff.
Fuck I've been reading speedy's stuff

Cruz/Pence 2020....I just threw up in my mouth a little. Trump at least acknowledges women exist. Now he may grope and berate them...but he still knows they exist and serve some purpose. These two clowns will take us to Women's Suffrage 2.0.

Trump re-tweeting unflattering pics of Cruz wife (during a time when the GOP was openly trying to sabotage trump) after Cruz's billionaire super pac tried to slut shame Melania is peanuts in the grand scheme of things.

They reduced the GOP race to a sissy fight and conducted themselves like monkeys flinging shit at each other. Did you see Ronald Reagan or either Bush act like that? Most Americans, myself included, are moderates and Republicans could have easily destroyed Clinton with a viable candidate and respectable campaign but no. Thanks for nothing.
 
Lol. Didn't trump call him crooked Ted for like 6 months straight, the very same stuff he is calling Hillary?

I'll agree in a sense here. They used the "pledge" to try to trap Trump but he played the negotiating game much better. Trump was very smart not agreeing to it.
This doesn't make Cruz any better a pledge to support is more important that your wife, your father?
Cruz=Beta

The pledge is stupid and is a trap question for career politicians. Didn't matter for Trump since he knew he could just slink off back to his empire if things didn't go his way.

I am talking about personal honor and following through with the promises you make.

I think the Dems also have the same as they have all bowed to the Queen Hillary. Look at how they manipulated around Bernie. He was screwed from the start and didn't even know it, or have enough sense to see it.

Finally! Now let's hope this concept you have that pledges can be voluntary will spread throughout the ever-narrowing conservative hallways lest they continue to fight this absurdity of requiring the pledge of allegiance in our public schools.

Maybe he figured at best Trump would later be impeached and he would be pres. At worst he'd get a front row seat to the shit show. Or maybe he thought he could tame the orange warning light.
 
Don't forget Trump wants to be a top down leader. He isn't interested in doing the work. He has said on multiple occasions that he'd leave that stuff to his VP. Not a bad decision in the business world, I'm not sure if its a good decision in this setting.

This makes no sense. Let's say that you make a pledge to your buddy that you have his back. Then you later find out that he's a murderer, rapist, and possibly slept with your wife. Are you going to still honor that pledge?

I don't think that any of those apply in this situation. You do know what I mean, Don't be obtuse.
 
From the news reports I saw last night, during his appearance with Pence purportedly supporting Trump Lying Ted didn't even mention Trump's name even once. Sounds more like obligatory community service/facetime for Ted than support.
 
Hilarious new leaks:

From December 15th, after just two debates:

*Secondary objective will be communicating Democratic unity and using Sanders and
others to help drive contrast and urgency.

We should be very aggressive about saying the primary has ended as early as possible, since it
will save us money and give us a further head start on four key transition activities:
1. HRC rest/downtimewouldbe ideal to give her 45days of downtime
2. Fundraising
a. PUSA meetings, small events (assume these can be organized early?)
b. Megaeventsfor HVF, to raise general election money and party funds for stateprograms (question for Dennis: can these be organized relatively quickly)
3. Unity event with Sanders
4. General election messaging tour (see below)

And May 26th, the day he officially announced his campaign:

This isn't in keeping w the agreement. Since we clearly have some leverage, would be good to flag this for him [Sanders]. I could send a signal via Welch--or did you establish a direct line w him?

So either Sanders was a deep Clinton plant, or a failed Clinton plant gone maverick. lmao. And people want to attack Cruz for being slimy.

Are you this naive at work, too?
 
Naive in what way? For thinking Sanders may have been genuine at one point? I linked directly to the sources and don't see how to interpret "This isn't in keeping w the agreement. Since we clearly have some leverage, would be good to flag this for him", except as some form of collusion in their mutual run. Unless maybe the DNC threatened to kick him from their caucus if he made any comments against HRC? I don't know much about caucusing rules, but that seem just as unethical, albeit absolving Sanders. Or maybe political blackmail? "Attack her again and we're going to unleash that blurb you wrote about women fantasizing of being raped" or something like that? I mean, there are probably plenty of possible interpretations, let me know how you read it.

These are professional politicians, ostensibly competing for the top spot in the same team. Of course they're not throwing the game just because they don't get what they want. If this were a sport, would you even qualify for weekend league?

Not to pick on you in particular, but politics commentary is often akin to yahoos down at the dive bar who've literally never played at any appreciable level offering opinions on the pros.

Pretty sure that's wasn't any kind of answer bro.

In a racing team with more than one car running, of course every driver wants to beat their teammate(s) to win, but the worst mistake is taking each other out and handing it to other teams. Safe to say someone who can't figure this out isn't in much of a position to comment on the dynamics of a race.
 
So you're saying that the email simply meant "H-hey, if you keep attacking me, I-I'm gonna attack you back, meanie!"? Considering that Sanders continued to attack Clinton for Wall Street money and yada-yada, I'm curious what Clinton's leverage against him was in the first place, because he was attacked more for policy than character during the debates iirc.
 
democrats rejected Hillary when she ran against Obama because of reasons.

Now she is the best person ever to be president and everyone has to vote for her.


Stay stupid liberals.
