The GOP Machine Can’t Touch Donald Trump, Even When He Attacks Republican Lies About 9/11

Whether taking on GOP sacred cows or being caught in flat-out lies, Trump always manages to survive.

Donald Trump gave a good Town Hall performance last night on CNN. Sure, he said the same insane stuff he’s been saying for months, but for people who only see him in snippets on the evening news ranting about Mexicans or Muslims, he probably seemed pretty human. He dodged all the usual questions with his usual bravado and obsessed about his own greatness. But he was comfortably sitting down and seemed relaxed and confident and unintimidating. After all, he’s not really a politician, he’s a celebrity. He dished on his famous friends and his three beautiful wives and their children and talked about how very, very rich he is. He even shared that he’s a clean freak who prefers to eat at fast food chains like McDonalds on the road because he thinks they have higher sanitation standards. It was more like watching an Oprah interview with a TV star than a political interview.

That this happened on the same day that Trump got into a huge public fight with the Pope makes it all the more amazing. But then that’s Trump’s specialty. He makes sure he dominates the news cycle somehow. By day he’s calling out the Pope and by night he’s talking about his pal Michael Jackson’s plastic surgery. Frankly, he’s just more interesting than any politician out there. It’s a shame about his authoritarian white nationalist program and the fact the job of president requires many more skills than those that have gotten him this far.

He was absolutely right about Bush, 9/11 and Iraq. Why not say it?

I wanna see Putin as his VP and Ben Carson the head butler in the White House.Marco can be a bartender like his dad was and Ted can start a website that offers lies for all occasions.

It was the Democrats that made the case that WMD's were in Iraq.

They are afraid that Trump will discover what the government is actually doing. They are afraid of losing their gravy train. My hope is he investigates Hillary and has her locked up. And all the other criminals in the government.And that he also enforces ALL of our laws. Even against those in Congress and the Senate. I also hope he finds out who bought stocks with inside information like it was reported they did, and brings them to justice. He needs to turn them upside down and shake out all the bad seeds. Trump, all the way.
