1. It was so ugly and full of lies I could only handle it for 3 minutes. The high lite was Trump

telling the truth about the war.

Now, I believe he did that for a specific reason, it is time for phase 2 of his and Bill's plan to split the GOP vote.

Watch for 3rd party run soon.

2. Seems He Is Trying To Save Some Face

eom

3. Actually, I'd prefer he say less

He has put himself in the Hillary camp.

So it goes...

(hey, who's got the keys to that bus?)

4. Great meme from Prof. Krugman

5. he's defending the faction that wants to put Medicare and SS on the table,

opens the ACA to corporate veto, gave us Clarence Thomas, discourages turnout, is built on machine politics, sends our jobs overseas and brings indenturees here, follows the donors on pharma, insurance, dirty energy, Wall Street, blocks legal weed, got us in Iraq, Syria, Honduras, Libya, and would toss any social liberalism in the rubbish the moment the polls shift

one reason the GOP went off the deep end is because of the Gingrich Revolution, sucking in the Dixiecrats; the other is because the Dems have moved rightwards (except on gay marriage) since 1993

6. you realize that almost everything you cite in your

list applies to democrats, as well, yes?

enablers, most of them, at the very least

not that I won't be holding my nose (for, let's see, about the tenth time) and vote HRC, if that sad turn of events comes to pass

7. I *was* talking about Krugman!
