    Tell us what you think and quit trying to imagine what I think because you really suck at it.

    El Chapo versus El Guapo.

    Let us be amused by The Donald. It's livening up the decidedly dull herd of GOP candidates. The poor schmuck is walking through the minefields and testing all the issues for the dull boys. They see what is selling and what ain't and the smart ones are adapting quickly.

    Hillary made a major policy speech and all the "liberal" media is glued to Trump.

    Trump may be a self-righteous, egotistical, immoral opportunist with delusions of grandeur, but he is very good at that and has made a career of it. In the last week he has managed to upstage all 16 other Republican candidates, Sir Hillary, and himself!

    All eyes on The Donald, at least until we tire of his act.

    We might have to put up with his act for 4 years.

    Scott Walker the Koch Brothers puppet announced he is running, like we didn't already know. The Onion pretty much nailed him.

    Scott Walker:

    Birthplace: tea party comment thread

    Greatest Strength: possesses the image and credentials to appeal to both Koch Brothers.

    Personal Beliefs: reasonably well concealed.

    Personal hero: sixth grade teacher that inspired him to strip educators of collective bargaining rights and dismantle publicly funded higher education.

    Greatest achievement: stood up to people who make a living pulling people from burning buildings.

    Gubinatorial record: first governor in history to raise enough out of state money to overcome recall challenge from own constituents.

    Chief political rival: those who want to make a living wage.

    He had to reach out to the FBI because he is scared now. El Chapo could probably have him sporting a Colombian neck tie with the snap of a few fingers. Maybe he should have called the Feds.

    That'll be the day . . .

    No one is going to elect a clown to run the united States like a personal fiefdom.

    If Chapo is foolish enough to attack a US Presidential candidate, the gloves will come off about respecting foreign sovereignty. It won't just be the DEA after him. CIA and SOF will go after him wherever he hides.

    I thought the same thing about Obama in 2008. Trump probably won't get the nomination but what he has done so far is a stroke of genius. Lets face it. Nobody liked Donald Trump before this. He is an egotistical megalomaniac.
    But he will say what nobody else will dare say and damn the consequences to his businesses. His non political correctness resonates with a lot of people.

    If Trump gets the nomination we face the prospect of two extremely personally unlikable candidates facing off. Nobody with a personality as unlikable as Trump or Hillary has been elected since Richard Nixon.

    I can't believe you are putting Hillary Clinton in the same breath with Donald Trump. Y'all's Clintonphobia is hilarious. The republicans can't put a likable candidate in the field.

    Cruz? He is despicable
    Jindal? Yeah right
    Bush? Need I say more
    Rubio? He isn't likable either
    Walker? He is a scumbag


    Tell me who on the right is even remotely likable?
