Trump Planning To Just Let Mike Pence Run The Country
Post Date: 2016-07-21 10:07:23 by Willie Green

Trump plans to saddle his veep with most of the duties of being president. Because why not? Anyone looking to tune in to the Republican National Convention this week to hear from the man the GOP is seeking to send to Washington to run the country needs to adjust their DVRs, because that speech won’t be given by Republican presidential nominee and apocalyptic circus peanut Donald Trump on Thursday. Rather, it will be given by the party’s vice-presidential nominee, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, on Wednesday night. So what gives? Well, it’s not entirely surprising. See, Trump has, throughout his campaign, made it clear that he believes that being president is a really easy job ...
"Why do Republicans Respect Marijuana Prohibition Like it Came From Moses?" [Full Thread]

"Bad law needs to be dealt with, we don't need to follow it blindly," says 86-year-old Ann Lee, the founder and executive director of Republicans Against Marijuana Prohibition (RAMP). In an interview with Reason at a Cleveland hotel near the Republican National Convention (RNC), Lee adds, "The mystery to me is why Republicans respect this law like it came from Moses, and when you read how it came about in 1937 under FDR...why Republicans support that is beyond me." Lee is a staunch pro-life social conservative who had her come-to-Jesus moment in when it came to marijuana prohibition after her son suffered a devastating accident in 1990. While recovering, he ...
In Cleveland, sea of white reflects GOP's math problem

After Mitt Romney lost the 2012 presidential election, Republican Party heavyweights uniformly agreed that white voters alone do not hold the keys to winning the White House. Yet in 2016, another overwhelmingly white gathering of Republican convention delegates - the makeup clear on television images or a walk through the Quicken Loans Arena floor - has nominated an all-white male ticket: businessman Donald Trump and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. Trump leaned almost exclusively on white voters to win the nomination and, in the process, alienated swaths of minorities with his push for a border wall to stop illegal immigration, calls for a "deportation force" and proposals to ban ...

Election Update: Clinton’s Lead Is As Safe As Kerry’s Was In 2004

There has been a lot of polling over the past few days in advance of the Republican National Convention, which got underway Monday in Cleveland. But it mostly confirmed the conclusion our election forecast models had arrived at late last week: Hillary Clinton leads Donald Trump by 3 or 4 percentage points. That’s down from a lead of 6 or 7 percentage points a few weeks ago. As a result, Trump’s odds have improved. He has a 36 percent chance of winning the election, according to our polls- only forecast, and a 38 percent chance according to polls-plus. (While the polls-only and polls-plus forecasts are well aligned now, they may begin to diverge during the conventions — more ...
What Everyone is Missing About Melania Trump’s Plagiarized Speech

Cleveland, OH — Melania Trump’s RNC speech, which was partially plagiarized from a Michelle Obama speech, has become such a popular subject that #FamousMelaniaTrumpQuotes has turned into a trending topic on Facebook and Twitter. As you can see in the video below, several segments of Melania Trump’s speech were lifted directly from Michelle Obama’s 2008 DNC speech, but there’s one detail everyone is missing about this whole debacle. The missing detail is summarized perfectly—and ironically—by an official statement from Melania Trump’s Facebook page following the fallout: “[S]ome instances” of the speech, the statement ...
Republicans Adopt ‘Most Conservative Platform in Modern History’

CLEVELAND—Delegates at the Republican National Convention officially adopted the platform recommended by the Platform Committee, called by one “the most conservative platform in modern history.” Republican delegates from across the nation are accepting the work of the 112-member Platform Committee, ratifying a platform that starkly contrasts with Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party. Here are the highlights: MarriageThe American family is the foundation of civil society and the cornerstone is marriage, the union of one man and one woman…we do not accept the Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage and we urge its reversal, whether through judicial ...

(CNN) -- As the Republican convention kicks off in Cleveland, the status of the race for the presidency continues to be advantage Hillary Clinton. Little has changed in overall support for either candidate since the end of the primaries in mid-June, despite major moments in the campaign including Donald Trump's announcement of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate, Clinton's endorsement by her main rival for the Democratic nomination, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and the announcement by the FBI that Clinton would not face charges for her use of a personal email server while secretary of state. But one candidate has made gains since last month: Libertarian Gary Johnson. In ...

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump selected Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate Friday in part because Pence is popular among social conservatives, particularly evangelical Christians. Pence’s Christian values present a contrast to those of Trump, whose own ethics, decency, and sense of morality are stored in an off-shore account near one of the circles of Dante’s hell.Trump needs someone like Pence. But what about Pence?Pence often describes himself as “a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order”? But he is a politician above everything else.

Although the radical left has days of protests planned and has a history of protests, the Cleveland police has issued a stand down order to officers, I can exclusively report. Remember when thugs from the left attacked Trump supporters at his San Jose rally? The San Jose mayor and police chief claimed it would have been “too dangerous” for officers to do their jobs by defending Trump supporters. That same “logic” is being applied by Cleveland officials, who have given up on even trying to control the radical left. If you’re attending the RNC, do not travel alone. Be street smart and travel in groups. Police will not help you. I and others will be covering ...
Trump Super PAC launches ad campaign targeting the Amish

A Super PAC with ties to Donald Trump has launched a print ad campaign targeting Amish voters in places like Pennsylvania, where the mobilization of conservative balloters could make a difference in a close race come November. The ad, featuring a large photo of Trump in his office, emphasizes Trump's lack of political experience as an asset, his work ethic, his success as a businessman — a fact likely to resonate with the Amish, many of whom own and operate their own — and his family ties and his willingness to appoint a conservative supreme court justice able to defend pro-life principles. Also highlighted is Trump's personal distaste for alcohol — ...

Donald Trump has settled upon a campaign trope that belongs in the archives of unintentional comedy, casting himself as the law and order candidate, which is like peddling Newt Gingrich as your go-to guy for family values. The GOP nominee used Chris Christie to float this trial balloon during his introduction Monday in Virginia, and our governor – now a sad pastiche of fear-stoker and celebrity appendage – downshifted into the cadence one might use while addressing a slow child: "Law and order," Christie said solemnly, "needs to be once again the first priority in our country. In this coming election, there can be little question about where law and order stands and ...

For several weeks I’ve been watching Fox news commentators slamming Muslim societies for not permitting, among other things, gay marriage and special protection for the transgendered. It is strange indeed that our media “conservatives” should be loudly championing culturally leftist causes, an advocacy that is becoming integral to how they define themselves politically. About ten years ago I also started noticing neoconservative journalists defending gay marriage as a “family value.” In the Republican New York Post, editorials have been calling for turning Stonewall Inn, the pub in NYC where gays in 1969 demanded a right to party and to enjoy public moral ...
In Donald Trump's America, Freedom From Due-Process Constraints

The horrifying thing about Trump's recent remarks about Saddam Hussein is not that he expressed admiration for the late Iraqi dictator—in fact Trump called him a "bad guy" three times. What is horrifying is that Trump seemed envious that Saddam could "kill terrorists" without due process—the most important element of which is the presumption of innocence, which places the burden of proof of guilt squarely on the government's shoulders. "He killed terrorists" Trump said of Saddam. "He did that so good. They didn't read them the rights. They didn't talk." (Emphasis added.) This should concern any Trump fans who believe ...

Donald Trump is a "pathological liar" who "doesn't know the difference between truth and lies." Trump "lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth." Trump is "utterly amoral" and "will betray his supporters on every issue." Remember the great orator who heaped such calumny upon The Donald? It wasn't Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders or President Barack Obama. It was Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, shortly after Trump both accused Cruz's father of being complicit in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and mocked Cruz's wife's looks.That also would be the same Ted Cruz who, on Thursday of this week, ...

Kansas’ Insane Right-Wing Experiment Is About to Destroy Its Roads

Kansas has had trouble paying for much of anything since 2012, when conservative legislators decided to implement a bevy of right-wing economic policies—and lead their state into a fiscal crisis. In order to keep funding its government despite dramatically decreased tax revenue, the Legislature has flipped all its piggy banks. One of them is the Kansas Department of Transportation—or what sarcastic Kansans now call “the Bank of KDOT,” for the stupendous quantity of money that has been diverted from its coffers to the Kansas general fund and state agencies. Kneecapping the agency that builds roads isn’t just a great metaphor for Gov. Sam Brownback’s tenure. Like ...

Libertarians consider freedom the highest value and government the greatest restraint on freedom, from which they conclude that government is an evil to be eliminated. But given human nature, the variability of human desires and the scarcity of resources to satisfy those desires, human existence in the absence of government, or in what Hobbes called a state of nature, will degenerate into a war of all against all: … there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain, and consequently, not culture of the earth, no navigation, nor the use of commodities that may be imported by sea, no commodious building, no instruments of moving and removing such things as require ...

Last week, the Libertarian Party’s presidential nominee Gary Johnson and his running mate Bill Weld made a cordial appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” to pitch their libertarian message to America. With some recent surveys showing the Libertarian ticket nearing 15 percent in national polls, there is a slim chance that Johnson could end up participating in the presidential debates (third-party candidates need to reach 15 percent in five national surveys to be included). Thus, the more exposure the better. The two candidates mostly stuck to their “socially liberal” talking points, which are always a hit with the young viewers, and only briefly alluded ...
