McCain alter-ego Mark Salter talks Trump:

Mark Salter, the most prominent and most defiant Republican to announce his support of Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, thinks the 2016 campaign could literally — no joke — drive the billionaire developer insane.

Go insane over this race? Trump will hardly be the first.

Comments

[James D]

I would say that I hope Salter dies in a fire.

But that would understate my feelings about him after reading that piece. By a lot.

[Miss Marple 2]

Some guy who is GOP from Florida was on NPR this morning. They gave him lots of time to call Trump a fascist and such.

I have heard a lot about how Trump is tempermentally unsuited, but these weasels grabbing the microphone to virtue signal that they won't vote for him (while auditioning for dem jobs and cash) are unsuited to be in politics as far as I am concerned.

Rapper Azealia Banks Endorses Trump – Says Hillary Talks to Black People “Like We’re Pets”

Right, black folk having been voting democrat for the last 70 years and we don't have shit to show for it.

it begins...

[henry]

the morning talk radio compared #NeverTrump to Hamilton campaigning against Burr. The virtue signaling is "historic."

[Theo]

I once briefly met Mark Salter. My impression is that he seems like a gloomy guy. FWIW.

[jimmyk on iPhone]

Well, henry, Trump did say he could shoot someone Weehauken Fifth Avenue and not lose voters.

[Theo]

Good line jimmyk, but Burr never won another election after the duel with Hamilton. As Hamilton's biographer put it, the duel ended the political careers of both men.

[jimmyk on iPhone]

Possibly Trump was being hyperbolic. :)

At this point, I despise them all. Anyone who does not see that the Democrat Party has gone insane, that it is a party of thieves and traitors and enemies of civilzation, is willfully blind. And anyone who would willingly cross over to them because of their dislike for Trump...thre are not enough curses in the language to describe them.

That's fine. Blacks and Hispanics can vote for the Democratic Party en masse and stay broke.

[Janet S.]

this is a good point with a comment -

"... every one of us should note well and remember long that this government was designed with the intention of having it affect the lives of citizens in a minimal fashion. The American people were not supposed to have to pay attention to every move they made in constant evaluations of those moves’ legalities. “Reformed Trombonist,” a commenter at the Instapundit blog, recently had this to say on the matter:

Before government was the 500-lb gorilla in the middle of every aspect of American life, your neighbor’s politics didn’t really matter that much. When business, family, and church mattered more than politics, we minded our own business. But now that government has seeped its way into every aspect of human existence, when you can’t eat a Twinkie or let your kid play in his own backyard by himself without providing probable cause to the Gestapo, then politics matters more and people care more. You like government’s overweening size, power, and expense, or you hate it. There’s no mystery here."

It looks to me like there is a law requiring Obama to get ready, so it would make sense that Trump would appoint someone to talk to the Obama transition team.

I assume Hillary would do the same thing.

Too many reporters are running with this as someone measuring the drapes, and it is highly irritating.

It'll be fun to watch him flick off Pelosi and All Talk No Action.

>>>The first rule in elections is: Go for the votes you can get. By that measure, Hillary Clinton is right to try to put the old Obama coalition on steroids.

Donald Trump will expand the Democrats’ opportunities among nonwhite Americans and produce Clinton landslides among Latinos. These groups have good reason to fear and despise the man who has demeaned them.

And watch Republicans for Clinton become a major force in American politics, an alliance of mostly well-off, well-educated voters — plus women of all classes. The members of the party of Lincoln who support Clinton will see that against Trump she is the safe and even, by the non-ideological definition of the term, conservative choice.<<<

In 2016, I am going to do what I do in a fair number of mysteries -- give up on trying to figure out how its all going to work out, and just hang on for the ride. My instinct says there is no way Trump should win. My instinct has sucked eggs all the way down the line.

If I make a prediction it will be a full Costanza. Meaning that Trump's going to win in a landslide, and he'll be the classiest best friend the Constitution ever had, leading us back to a halcyon era of modest government.

By that measure, Hillary Clinton is right to try to put the old Obama coalition on steroids.

Things get old so quickly these days.

The Clinton coalition is the old Dem coalition. That one is in tatters.

The Obama coalition is the new Dem coalition. It's not doing so great either with Hillary, but it's all she's got.

[henry]

Ryan also said he completely opposes efforts by party elders to put forth a conservative, third-party alternative to Trump.

The Dems did a real number on blacks, getting them to believe that the Tea Party was racist. I'm hoping that Azealia will come to regret her past vicious words about Sarah Palin, and learn to respect her as Mr. Trump always has.

[Miss Marple 2]

Who's involved in this 3rd Party thing? Kristol, Erickson, and I think Jen Rubin.

All those 3 know how to do is talk and write columns. They couldn't organize their way out of a paper bag.

Who are they going to get for volunteers? Where will they get the money? What about filing in the states where you ARE allowed to run a 3rd party?

Who are they going to run? Maybe they can put Mitt and Jeb! on the same ticket. They can run around the country telling us how evil we are and how swell immigrants are.

It would probably give another 10 points to Trump.

From the last thread...slow to catch up.

I have been to Brazil half a dozen times or so in the last 8 or 9 years.

In Rio always stay at the same hotel on Ipanema Beach, always contract the same driver who knows what neighborhoods to avoid. Also knows what end of his Taurus semi-auto to grab onto.

Sitting on the beach you can look across the street at the 7 figure condos, or look south at the neighborhood where poverty stretches for miles.

A lot of people will lose their wallets at the Olympics.

I am sure the rapper made her comments based on carp she heard in the media. Ms. Palin is probably willing to overlook them if said rapper gets some black votes headed Mr. Trump's way.

You go to war with the army you have, not the one you wish you had.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/may/08/harvard-students-hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-2016-election?CMP=share_btn_tw

Walk around any college campus and Bernie Sanders’ popularity is immediately apparent. Depending on the climate, you’re likely to see Bernie T-shirts or Bernie sweaters or Bernie hats or Bernie scarves.

You’re less likely to encounter Hillary Clinton memorabilia. In a setting where students are meant to be rebelling against the status quo, to be wearing berets and hanging Che Guevara posters on their walls, supporting Clinton just isn’t cool.

It turns out this is even true at Harvard University – hardly known for revolutionary politics.

But it's the Rs who have the deep, probably irreparable rift, right?

[James D]

THe first paragraph of a post at NRO about London's new mayor:

London has just elected a new mayor, and he is Sadiq Khan, a Muslim in his forties, of Pakistani origins, son of a bus driver, a former lawyer in the field of human rights, a socialist politician, member of Parliament, and a Minister in the last Labour-party government. This is undoubtedly an unusually impressive record.

What exactly is "impressive' about being a socialist politican, a human rights lawyer or a Minister in a Labour government?

Those are all black marks against anyone, as far as I can tell.

[James D]

From the comments to that Londonistan post at NRO:

What is happening now is not military defeat, but voluntary submission to an inferior culture via an entirely voluntary and unwise immigration policy, combined with white guilt, multiculturalism, and political correctness.

Which we are seeing here as well, and our betters (in both parties) tell us to shut up and accept it because wanting to maintain our identity and culture is "not who we are."

Again, is it any wonder Trump won the nomination?

Although HUD’s “demonstration project” may have improved the lives of some who moved, it’s ended up harming the lives of many of their new neighbors. And now Castro wants to roll it out nationwide. Soon he will give Section 8 recipients money to afford rent wherever they choose — and if they don’t want to move, he’ll make them an offer they can’t refuse.

Ironically, Hillary’s own hometown of Chappaqua is fighting Section 8 housing because of links to drugs and crime and other problems.

This is a big policy shift that will have broad implications, affecting everything from crime to property values. And it could even impact the presidential election, especially if Castro joins Hillary on the Democratic ticket.

I sure hope Trump pounds the hell out of these assholes on the campaign trail for this.
