rick sumner: Your credibility with me is shot - not just because of your cherry-picking of history, but mainly because of your ridiculous accusation of me having "ideological" blinders.
I repeat: I do not have an ideology. I have a mind of my own, and am perfectly comfortable pissing off "lefties" if I feel that is what the the occasion demands.
Stop using Fox news as a substitute for your brain.

Why would either of us consider the other credible Stew? Now the subject was why you interject yourself into another countries politics with such virulent rhetoric? Trouble at home?
Anyway, any of you prognosticators have predictions?

The "cluster B" personality disorders are notorious:
-Antisocial personality disorder
-Narcissistic personality disorder
-Borderline personality disorder
They are all closely related and share the same traits: a lack or morality, lack of conscience, lack of empathy, and an overpowering sense of entitlement. These people will lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, blame, and do whatever it takes to get benefit for themselves.
These people will destroy you, if you let them in. They are so manipulative that you will find yourself questioning your own self worth, and they will make you feel that everything is your fault, and everything that you do is wrong.
Often these people are intelligent and highly functional, so they are extremely talented in, and well-practiced at, the manipulation game. The manipulation will start out insidiously. If you don't get out quickly, then you could find yourself mired in an abusive relationship in which you're always trying harder and harder to earn their forgiveness, trying to "give" more and more to redeem your self worth. But you'll never be successful because the sociopath keeps moving the goal line.
Narcissists in particular are often very popular and love attention, so it is easy to be drawn into their web. But they leave in their wake many turbulent and destroyed relationships http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/2758191/Narcissists-Covert-Narcissists-and-Sociopaths
Shall we ask Ivana Trump about him?
no, we can read the divorce court record deposition.

Ex-Wife: Donald Trump Made Me Feel ‘Violated’ During Sex
Ivana Trump once accused the real-estate tycoon of ‘rape,’ although she later clarified: not in the ‘criminal sense.’
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/07/27/ex-wife-donald-trump-made-feel-violated-during-sex.html
Donald Trump introduced his presidential campaign to the world with a slur against Mexican immigrants, accusing them of being “rapists” and bringing crime into the country.
“I mean somebody’s doing it!… Who’s doing the raping?” Donald Trump said, when asked to defend his characterization.
It was an unfortunate turn of phrase for Trump—in more ways than one. Not only does the current frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination have a history of controversial remarks about sexual assault, but as it turns out, his ex-wife Ivana Trump once used “rape” to describe an incident between them in 1989. She later said she felt “violated” by the experience.
"Someone is doing the raping", yes
that is one thing you are right about

Trump losing to Cruz by 4000 votes so far.
edit: Trump is a chump.
http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-republicans-iowa-caucuses-20160201-story.html
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz surprised national front-runner Donald Trump in the Iowa caucuses Monday, galvanizing evangelical Republicans with his arch-conservative message.
Cruz's victory in the first nominating contest over Trump, the reality star and real estate mogul who is leading in most national polls, broadens the fight for the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump remains the favorite but will now see his self-made image as persistent winner take a hit as the primary season shifts to New Hampshire as a three-way race.
The billionaire businessman barely edged out Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who surged to a particularly strong third-place finish. That sets Rubio up as the chief establishment rival against the outsider campaigns of Trump and Cruz.

Hey rick: You really don't get it - I already told you: whether you like it or not, the most powerful nation on the planet's politics affect the entire world. Just ask the Iraqis after dubya Bush and his Cabinet of thieves and war criminals destroyed their entire nation and killed over 100,000 civilians.
Besides, it looks like there's a chance your next Prez is going to be a Canadian. A total scumbag just like Trump, but a Canadian nevertheless. Now you can go away and see what Fox news wants you to "think".
Craig Fry: Love those cartoons.

Upthread, someone wrote:
It would be interesting see how many women he employees and of those women, how many are high profile/salary jobs.
I don't know abut Trump's corporations, but it looks like he pays women less for the same jobs, and holds them back in comparison to men, in his presidential campaign(which is self-funded, so it's not that difficult to presume the behavior is relevant as well as relative)
From Maire Claire article at http://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a18386/ex-trump-staffer-says-his-campaign-is-sexist-women-are-paid-less-than-men/
According to the Times, Davidson was paid $2,000 a month and was classified as part-time because she also worked as a paralegal. But she said another campaign worker, a man named Marc Elcock, was paid more than her for the same job even though he also has a day job as a lawyer. Public filings revealed that several men with the same title as Davidson—including Elcock—were indeed paid between $3,500 and $4,000 a month.

So can we say goodbye to Trumpty Dumpty now?
No, he's still the front runner, if slightly less so than yesterday.
Carson got 9%, but seems stuck. If he bails soon, Cruz seems like a natural home for Carson voters.

So now Donald is complaining that Cruz cheated him out of a victory in Iowa, and that there should be a do-over.
I dunno, I don't think "sore loser" is consistent with his self-trumpeted winning aura. Maybe he should zip it?

Blessed be the peacemaker. MSNBC reports Trump nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
On his first day in office I hope he throws out of the country the illegals, the radical muslims (by some accounts a large percentage) along with the rabble rousers in the progressive, socialist, LGBT, etc. Etc. communities.
Stewart would welcome them all to his community and personal home in canuckistan.
Vote Bernie if you're deluded, Cruz if you are sane.
