Bobby Jindal talks about the real issue with Hillary Clinton and her emails. The real issue, Bobby, is whether or not the use of her email had any security consequences and so far they have not. That is the only issue that exists in this whole atmosphere of conjecture, rumor and lies.
In everything else Jindal, like Scott Walker is constitutionally unable to give a straight or truthful answer to any quesdtion. No one has asked him anything that couldn’t be illuminated by a straight answer. It’s no wonder that his campaign is disappearing into the bayous. People see a slimy reptile, recognizable as a toad who can’t get it done and can’t even lie about it well.

The Republicans are all bent out of shape over Hillary seemingly to compare them to terrorists over women’s healthcare. Well, when you hold a position just to the right of Sharia law, maybe you should look to yourself before you get insulted about anything Hillary says.

Everybody likes Joe Biden and the GOP would love him to run against Hillary but the reality is that when he was at his strongest he lost in two previous bids for the presidency. That’s what makes him so appealing to the GOP. What makes anyone, especially Joe, think that he would be successful this time. He’s much older, he has family problems and responsibilities hanging around his neck like an anchor and he has two powerful opponents. He would have to run to the left of Bernie and to the right of Hillary, a serious problem of positioning. Joe would be foolish to run, but the GOP party line will not let his possible candidacy die any more than they will abandon Hillary’s email nonsense until the FBI clears her completely of any malfeasance and even then they will continue to gnaw and growl, like hyenas with a bone; even as they have with Benghazi. If you have no idea what to do for the nation you must attack what you can; that’s what the Republicans are doing. It’s the only thing they know how to do. They lie, cheat and lie some more. The hell with the American people and what they need, as long a the Republican’s can keep their cushy jobs and pick up the dough doled out by their corporate backers.

George Stephanopoulos tried to nail Trump down to some substantive answers to the questions about the promises he continues to make in his Make America Great Again campaign. George was almost completely unsuccessful, mainly because Trump has no answers to anything. All Trump can do is bloviate, all Trump can do is tell us that nobody knows nothing but him and that he will fix everything that is bad, just because he will. The fact is that regardless of the question, Trump has zero answers to everything. He is just a big blowhard bully that knows nothing and has nothing to offer… to anyone but himself.
The only one of his opponents that has really taken him on is Bush and Jeb really isn’t up to it.

If I hear one more moron talk about securing the border, I will call the INS and turn him and his illegal housekeeper in. The idea of building a wall is so brain dead that it should disqualify anyone from any office in the country. Scott Walker is especially guilty of this, along with other faults that show him unable to think straight enough to clean sewers. Watched an interview between him and George Stephanopoulos and he never answered one single question straight. This guy wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in the ass.
Stephanopoulos asked him two of the easiest questions you can ask a politician and he came up with nothing but bullshit on both.
- Do you believe in the 14th Amendment?
- Do you believe that Hillary’s email problems will hurt her long range?
Now what Republican couldn’t answer those two questions? Scott Walker, that’s who. It wasn’t that he didn’t know the answers. It was just that he is incapable of answering any question with a straight statement. He is the sleaziest pol ever.

Chris Christie was on the tube today running his mouth about, of all things, how dangerous New York City is. This is the guy who’s governor of the state that contains both Camden and Newark, two cities that make Fallujah look safe. Has Christie lost his mind? As one with divided allegiances, I grew up in New Jersey but have lived in New York for longer than most people have drawn breath, I can safely say that New York City is far safer than either of the biggest cities in New Jersey and that Christie is either a gross liar or dumber than dirt.
Why he would pick this idiotic fight is beyond comprehension. His premise, his facts, his point of view are all so factually wrong it’s hard to believe that he has allowed himself to stumble into this pit.
Then, just to prove that he really is dumber than we thought, Christie blunders into the immigration problem by attacking those that come here to study on visas and then try to stay. This, despite the fact that anyone with any intelligence is trying to keep those we educate here, so that they will take the unfilled tech jobs that we are desperate to fill. It makes no sense to educate them here and send them back to their countries to use that education to promote the economies of India or China or wherever.
It’s too bad that Christie doesn’t understand that, or at least can’t separate it from those who come here on tourist visas and stay to become part of the illegal immigration population.
If he had any brains at all, Christie would make this delineation and push for legislation that would keep the students here and allow them to help our economy. We’re not talking about field hands, but about our most educated foreigners, people who could help our country in innumerable ways. It’s too bad Christie isn’t bright enough to see that… or the fact that his state has a much higher crime rate than does Ne York.
Christie tried to sell himself to the voters as something different but along came Trump who did it better. Look at the polls. Trump and Carson, the amateurs, lead the pack by huge margins while the rest of the contenders, Christie included, are dragging along with between 6% and 2% of the votes.
Christie wants you to think he’s different but the people can see that he’s just more of what they have come to hate; a little louder, a little fatter and a little more obnoxious but still a lying politician who will say anything and sell out his mother to get a vote.
