Just wait till trump gets on hillary for her lies, email scandal, incompetency, bengahzi scandal.

The media revels in dishing on the GOP and they always hide the dirt on democrats. Trump won’t let them get away with it. He’s the only one who will go there with Hillary.

👍 I really think that Hillary will not be in a position to argue with anyone soon! It can’t be soon enough IMO.

The voices of Gruber will fade away when reality crashes down.

All of these are complicated issues over which no US diplomat has much control. The instability in the Middle East is due more to the incompetence of the Bush administration than to anything Clinton did.

That’s true.

You preferred the dictatorship of the Muslim Brotherhood? Fortunately for Egypt, the Egyptian army didn’t.

So you like army dictatorships better? You make it sound as if all these issues have easy solutions, but they don’t. And although I’m no fan of Morsi, general Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is hardly any better.

Here’s something interesting:

nytimes.com/2016/04/02/us/politics/gop-fears-donald-trump-as-zombie-candidate-damaged-but-unstoppable.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0

That’s an interesting image, Donald Trump as zombie candidate.

The zombie candidate is one of the reasons that the Dems invented superdelegates, so that the supers could knock out someone that did great early but became unelectable. I have never liked the idea of superdelegates, but many in the GOP are now wishing they had them.

She won’t even be indicted let alone go to prison. That is probably the last thing on her mind, as it should be.

After 8 years and people still blaming Bush…

Some things are worse than others. Radical Islamic dictatorships are generally worse than any others. Morsi’s “party” is the Muslim Brotherhood, father of Al Quaeda, Hamas and ISIS.

And Al-Sisi is the one who is responsible for pushing new legislation for the protection of Christian churches in Egypt. He is the one who got the Islamic clerics together in order to urge them to preach non-violence. The Obama/Clinton administration, of course, shuns and penalizes Al-Sisi.

Never did I say any of those things have easy solutions. But backing the “Arab Spring” was a disaster without redeeming feature.

The GOP does have unbound delegates though which still could help them in their current predicament.

Unless she knows the fix is in, which it might be, she would have to be made of stone for it not to bother her. Well, thinking that out again, and remembering her laughing about the torture of Quaddhaffi and her unlimited backing of abortion, including partial birth abortion, she just might be made of stone alright.
 
MODERATOR NOTICE

Please keep to the topic of the thread.

For example:

Please keep the Hillary Clinton topics on the Hillary Clinton thread and the Trump topics on the Trump thread

No she is not made of stone. Unless down the road she is added to Mt Rushmore.
 
Of note: Media has focused on historical high of Trump’s unfavorables, but so too are Cruz and Hillary. All are historical highs.

Who gets to define which is a zombie candidate? You and those who don’t like trump?

Trump is a very weak candidate. He should have collapsed a long time ago. The only thing keeping him going was the huge number of other candidates and the odd way the primaries played out.

I have to disagree with you there: that’s one reason he has kept going, but there are others. Including the fact that the media has portrayed him as the “Clark Kent” of presidential candidates.

I don’t think so. The media has put him on because he is entertaining. More like the Teddy Roosevelt or Andrew Jackson of this era.

“A lot of people love Trump” seems to translate to about 37% give or take of those voting in his own party’s primaries and caucuses. There is a “Stop Trump” movement going on right now within the Republican ranks.

Trump has won 37 percent of Republican votes and is regarded unfavorably by more than 60 percent of general election voters. It’s hard to get from there to 270 electoral votes.

Your numbers seem right to me, but let me add that his supporters are a diverse group, so it’s quite hard to estimate e.g. how many people love him, etc.

No, I was referring to the superdelegates. The idea would be that the superdelegates do, to protect the party. As I said, I don’t like the idea myself.
