would anyone be thirsty for some salty tears?

birthers from wnd:

As one of those who has suggested Donald Trump has the potential not only to win the 2016 presidential election, but to win in a landslide, it’s time for a note of clarification.

With Hillary Clinton skyrocketing in polls, Trump getting off message and shooting from the hip in too many gaffe-prone appearances and the Democrats relentlessly attacking Trump in TV ads, my predictions are looking, well, a little less than prophetic.

While Trump is out publicly day after day commenting on too much, Hillary is in virtual hiding, realizing the more the American public see her, the less they like her.

Thus, Hillary’s stealth strategy is working, and Trump’s “Zelig” strategy is not.

As a Trump supporter, let me state this plainly and unequivocally: Trump is blowing it. He’s not acting presidential. He’s talking too much about extraneous matters – and doing so recklessly. He’s not on message. He’s actually doing his best to feed the image crafted by his adversaries – a guy not prepared or equipped for the presidency.

But it’s not too late for Trump to win.

It’s not too late for him to turn this thing around.

It’s not even too late for him to rack up a historic landslide victory.

It’s late, but it’s not too late.

its a mine of salt in their opinion section.


It’s so obvious what Trump needs to do to recover and win:

He’s running against an opponent who is not liked even by those supporting her. He needs to attack her where she is vulnerable. He needs to do it consistently and expertly, without any more backfires. She’s a crook, a liar, a national security nightmare, a socialist demagogue, a seriously unhealthy contender for the presidency and a political relic of the past who wants to carry on business as usual, while she gets richer along the way through her “public service.” Attack, attack, attack.
The only other target in his political crosshairs should be Barack Obama. Hillary represents four more years of what we’ve had – but without the “charm” many mysteriously see in Obama’s personality. It means Wall Street has its way with us. It means taxation without representation as more and more decisions about America’s fate are made by foreigner and those who would transfer political power to global institutions. It means less freedom. It means more political correctness. It means more government control over our lives. It means less prosperity for all. It means a Supreme Court that rules like an unaccountable oligarchy. It means an end to the Second Amendment and the absolute, God-given right to defend oneself and one’s family and property. How hard is this to do?
He needs to stay on script. He needs to be calmer, cooler – to demonstrate that he is not controlled by emotions. Stop all the tweeting and the Facebooking. Act like someone who wants to be and is equipped to be the commander in chief. You don’t have to say whatever is on your mind at a given moment. Take a breath and think before you speak.
If Donald Trump does these three things – and only these three things – he can still win this race and win it big.

I’m sure of that.

I’m just not sure he is disciplined to follow this advice. I’m sure I’m not the only offering it to him. But it’s just that simple.

Visited the world trade center memorial today.

Really something else. Brought up a lot of memories of being on top of the tower as a tourist when they were up, 9/11 , and the people whom I knew who died.

They did a great job with it aside from the fact that many treated it as a place to get selfies and stuff.

I love Archer. :)

Why would you willingly drink a Bloody Mary when a Mamosa is socially acceptable in the morning? Also socially acceptable is putting vodka in your coffee....or your apple juice. Just drink vodka in the morning. Whatever. Tomatoes are gross.

Also, the comments on that WND are HILARIOUS

Not only is Trump ahead. He's ahead by 20-30...plus an additional 10-15 who are too embarrassed to admit it. What delusion do these people live in!?

Have not watched really many Sorkin things, but the clips that surface from his political shows often tend to make me vicariously embarrassed as a writer.

I've always been a big fan of Grosse Pointe Blank, but you need to be in a particular mindset to appreciate the dark, sometimes violent absurdity or a lot of the little things I love about it won't click. Killer soundtrack too.

The wonderful feeling you get from an cold gin and tonic almost makes the unbearable heat worth it. Almost. Fuck this heat.

The olive celery and garlic with tomatoe juice provide nutrients. It's actually the only thing I drink with vodka in it. I'm currently drinking a Kentucky mule

That polling observer page is really scary.

How much voter suppression is there going to be by the right come November? People at these conservative polling places not letting people vote?


That being said, I did have some fun with it...

Great, now he's encouraging voter suppression and intimidation.

Every time he does something bad, it always gets worse. It's surprising even though I should know better by now.

They won't be allowed in polling places in most states, but it's still disturbing.

Hi guys,

Using my first post here today. Adam is wonderful.

I'm a Canadian guy who grew up in DC while my parents were diplomats. I love your politics, but I am even getting tired of Trump and his surrogates.

I hope Hillary stomps him into the ground. While our conservatives are "right", they definitely aren't as "right" as the GOP. I hope you show them in November that Trump isn't right, at all.

I few weeks ago my bf and I drove down to Yellowstone and spent a week driving through your national parks. The parks and the people along the way were wonderful. Thankfully I didn't hear trumpish trash along the way.

What did I get from this? Your aren't much different than Canada.

Mike

Another adam fanboy!? :p

Welcome, we're all as shocked about Trump as the rest of the world. We figured the republicans would at least keep dog-whistling and not straight up saying crazy bigoted shit
