The most remarkable think Trump said at the town hall had nothing to do with the loyalty pledge ...

... it was that two of the most important functions of government are to provide healthcare and education (and he even throws in housing).

These concepts are anathema to wingnut dogma.

I can't believe that Cruz, and Kasich, and the establishment aren't lighting their hair on fire over this.

They finally have an opening, and they're missing it.

healthcare should be private. Cooper presses for clarification, but of course, Trump just blathers and says nothing.

... but, with great bluster, and his idiot minions dutifully eat it all up with a spoon.

It's really remarkable and quite tragic at the same time.

It's like he had to say something, but he's too stupid to actually think about something he actually would believe in.

So pressed on the spot, he throws out education and healthcare as two important functions of the federal government.....and then, knowing he can't say that, says he doesn't believe either should be in the function of the federal government.

This guy's got no substantive beliefs of his own. His only motivating factor is his narcissistic driven ego. That's where it begins and ends with him. Everything else he says is the Art of the Con.

I think it was Colbert who said he wants Lady Liberty as his next trophy wife.

in the past couple days -?- where he literally whines about having to be transparent. He just wants us to not pay attention while he fudges up the planet so he can be ruler over all... which seems to be the prime reason for running for president in the minds of the R ticket.

i can't remember where I saw it, could have been on Comedy Central or some news show.
