Hey Bernie,

RCBracco (Nick) is a communist. He wishes the education system would change history lessons to a pack of lies.

Just ignore him.

As long as you admit your a fascist I will admit to being a socalist

You already admitted to being a Commie. Moveon.org and Soros are the fascists and I am not a part of those turds.

WASHINGTON — Not since the fifth century has a Germanic leader arrived at the gates of a fearful imperial capital with an offer of peace and the threat of mayhem.

Sixteen centuries ago it was a Visigoth named Alaric, who, backed by an army of Germanic tribes and former slaves, marched on Rome. He got the locals to hand over all of their wealth in tribute, then laid waste to the city anyway.

This week it is Donald the Orange, descended from the German Drumpfs, who arrives in the imperium of Washington to get a better sense of how messy — even bloody — it will be for him to become emperor of the United States.

The current occupant of that office, President Barack Obama, has vacated the city with his family for an annual educational trip abroad for his daughters, timed to spring break at their Washington private school, Sidwell Friends.

And in comes Donald Trump.

Backed by impressive primary season victories and expecting another this week in immigration-wracked Arizona, the Republican front-runner, provocateur and political arsonist will meet with some of the key forces in the city that either oppose him outright or fear his rule.

They include Republican members of Congress, the U.S. and global media and an ideological array of supporters of Israel, from Sen. Bernie Sanders’ liberal Jews to Sen. Ted Cruz’s born-again Christians. Depending on how things go, Trump will either seek peaceful tribute or warn again that to reject him would mean “riots” in the streets.

And he will have an appropriately symbolic palace as his base camp. He and his family have established their own citadel within the walls of the city (aka the Beltway), and it will remain his outpost no matter what happens.

A new Trump luxury hotel, rising in the innards of the grand Old Post Office building, will feature a giant ballroom, a seven-story grand atrium and a suite called the “Trump Townhouse” that will have its own private entrance.

The 19th-century granite edifice looms over Pennsylvania Avenue, exactly halfway between the U.S. Capitol and the White House.

SO WHAT TRIBE OF TURDS ARE YOU PART OF A##HOLE?

PART TWO

The hotel originally was slated to open in time for the next presidential inauguration, in late January of 2017. But, sparing no expense and putting his capable and hard-charging daughter, Ivanka, in charge, the mogul now expects to open his palace in the city by September.

The building is far enough along that Trump can hold his first press conference in Washington there since the campaign season began.

His campaign posted an offer of credentials on the processing site Eventbrite, but it wasn’t yet clear whom the campaign would — or would not — allow into what is certain to be a contentious session with an alarmed press corps that has lately become ashamed of its role in the Trump Rise.

They will try to make Trump lose his cool. He is sure to do so without much provocation, since his whole campaign has been about the expression of unbridled, “politically incorrect” emotions and fears about people not like him.

Before that circus-to-be, Trump will meet privately with some GOP congressmembers at the stately D.C. offices of the law firm Jones Day, in a neighborhood near the Capitol. Led by anti-immigration stalwart Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, Trump is expected to meet with about a score of GOP members who either are or could be declared supporters. Trump will mention their names later to the press.

(In an ironic note that Trump would love, Jones Day is the law firm where Megyn Kelly once worked as an attorney.)

Trump’s trickiest event of the day is his appearance at the annual D.C. meeting of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which many reporters label uniquely “powerful” among lobbying groups, apparently because it was founded by and is run mostly by Jews, who Trump said not long ago are especially adept at negotiations.

He will be picketed and denounced by liberal Jews for his fascist-style attacks on racial and ethnic groups. He will be viewed suspiciously by Christian fundamentalists who have lately joined the hardline Greater Israel faction of Zionists. Most of the other attendees will sit in nervous silence as Trump tries to explain his previous lack of Cruz-level blind support for all things Israel.

Reviled and derided in New York real estate circles for his failure to pay his business bills on time, Trump is nevertheless a master of public dealmaking and has gotten rich that way.

And there signs that he is making progress in the citadels of power. On Sunday Richard Haass, the president of the august Council on Foreign Relations, refused to answer the question of whether he would serve in a Trump administration if there was one.

The capital may be in more danger than we think.

I've said it before... wait til dull Hillary wins the democrat nomination and the high energy, very young sanders supporters feel cheated by the super delegates Hillary wrung up... Sanders fans have taken to twitter already... #stillsanders. They are not going to get out the vote for Hillary... They have NO interest in her. I talk to enough college students excited for Bernie to know this.

I blame our education system. We lead the world in the production of idiots

Raucous, if you think I'm going to shy away from this fight, you've picked the wrong guy.

The Islamic world is in total chaos, because some of them realize that they're stuck in the 11th century, and some don't (or REALLY don't, you could say). I visited Europe many times in the late 1990's and early 2000's. People I know there now tell me I shouldn't bother visiting anymore.

Throughout the past 60 years, there was been a well-documented inverse relationship between the negative attitude of foreign regimes towards the United States, and the attitudes of the people in those countries towards the US. I know it's hard for you lefties to get into your heads, but we actually now stand as a symbol of progress to all the suppressed minority groups in backwards countries who watch YouTube and realize that locally, things aren't the way they should be. Naturally, these people are left in the dust if the US President says nothing about this, or especially if he tries to make friends with the crazy government that's oppressing them. Our attitude makes a difference.

Even after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, there were calls in France for a "French Patriot Act." Certainly never thought I'd see that...

This is a time for some Nationalism. Time for us to stand up and say that our way of doing things -- secular Liberalism with tough anti-terrorism policies -- is the best. Our governmental system is broken, but this business about "leading the world in the production of idiots" is disgusting.

We don't have time for cultural relativism right now.

Trump for President.

PS
If nominated, Trump will win more minorities than any Republican has in a long time. Even Tavis Smiley wrote an essay about how this could play out (noting that Trump is not an ultra-"white" candidate like Romney was). This might not have occurred to you, but minorities can think for themselves, and they've realized that LBJ's approach still isn't working...

Trump always led the other GOP candidates in the polls. People didn't believe his lead would hold despite the polls. Trump doesn't lead Clinton in the polls. He's behind. Way behind. Now, it's the Trump supporters who don't believe the polls.

More BS to try to downplay Trump's rise. He was actually no better than 8th before he got serious. Here's the truth:

A new Quinnipiac University poll of Republican voters shows a five-way tie for first — each with only 10% support.

The top five: Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker.

Rounding out the top ten, according to Quinnipiac: Rand Paul (7%), Ted Cruz (6%), Donald Trump (5%), Chris Christie (4%), Carly Fiorina (2%) and John Kasich (2%).

Anymore "facts' you want to make-up and have blown-away?

Trump has been the consensus leader since last summer when he announced his candidacy.

He announced in June where he was a joke to most pundits.... He started to gain traction in July once he KO'd Jorge Ramos and John McCain.

You're splitting hairs. He announced June 16. He took a commanding lead in the primary polls starting July 9th.

So, yeah, for three weeks he wasn't the front runner. But since then, despite pessimism from just about everyone, he's held on to the lead.

That isn't the case for the general election. He doesn't lead in the polls. He's never lead in the polls. There is no reason to think he will win that election.

Look at it this way. Utah hasn't gone blue in something like 50 years. In a poll from this weekend, Cruz beat Clinton by 28 points. Kasich beats her by 30 points.

Clinton beats Trump by 2 points.

Trump is a disaster for the GOP.

Says the guy who argued polls are worthless this far out. Trump is not your 'typical' political candidate nor is he running a 'typical' campaign. When he turns his antics on Hillary you will see his favorables move from very negative to a much more favorable position in the general election. He will turn that tide like he did with the Republican party when 70% of them dispised him.

"This far out" was last year. If someone was arguing that a hypothetical nominee was trailing in the polls 16 months out, yeah it probably doesn't matter. We're no longer 16 months out and there is a presumptive nominee for both parties (assuming the GOP doesn't yank the nomination away from Trump). The polls today are much more predictive.

And, news flash, most of the GOP still hates Trump
