San Diego newspaper endorses Ronald Reagan over Trump in Calif. primary

Curiel is the judge in charge of a lawsuit over Trump University and Trump has accused him of being biased because he is of Mexican descent (Curiel was born in the United States.)“We believe in a more unifying message,” the board writes.

“So what do Republicans who don’t accept Trump’s style or substance — including all three Bushes, Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, George Will and Charles Krauthammer — do? Certainly, the Republican Party has an argument for the presidency. Today, the principles of the party of Ronald Reagan are as relevant as ever: a stable border, a strong military and economic policy focused on low taxes, less bureaucracy and limited regulation.

Those are not the principles of Trump, who promises to build a border wall, recommends torture and killing terrorists’ families and speculates about reneging on our debts. What would happen to Reagan’s party in the hands of Trump? What would happen to San Diego?”

The editorial board says that Trump “doesn’t deserve the party’s mandate” and encourages voters to write in Reagan’s name on the June 7 primary ballot instead.

“Maybe Trump will get the message,” the board writes.

The editorial comes the same day The Washington Post editorial board wrote a scathing editorial after House Speaker Paul Ryan announced he would support Donald Trump, after all. The editorial titled “Mr. Ryan’s endorsement of Trump is sad day for the GOP — and America.”

“On Thursday Mr. Ryan capitulated to ugliness. It was a sad day for the speaker, for his party and for all Americans who hoped that some Republican leaders would have the fortitude to put principle over partisanship, job security or the forlorn fantasy that Mr. Trump will advance a traditional GOP agenda,” the board wrote.

“there are so many ways Trump is unfit to lead the free world.”

We don’t want to lead the free world–let them lead themselves. We need to straighten out our own damn country first, which is Trump’s doctrine.

“there are so many ways Trump is unfit to lead the free world.”

For instance, eliminating regime change, thus stopping the slaughter and destruction of millions of lives. BUT, this would put a big crimp in our military arms producers – now I understand why Trump would be unfit to lead.

I still don’t see why people don’t like the man. He has few negative things i can see. Plus the rest of the Washington machine will only let him do so much.

Look up the phrase ‘loose cannon’ and you find Perot and Trump. They prove the rule that ‘you can be rich or smart, not both’.

If the USA votes in Trump, it will have gone mass bonkers. There’s hope: folks will come to their senses individually.

Look back years from now, you have this capacity since you are not an animal with a fixed sense of time. Look back, I say, after Trump has provoked every foreign leader, jailed all the reporters, attacked all his critics, waterboarded random Americans, droned folks who wanted to impeach him, imposed food rationing, assailed Saudi Arabia and the new oil embargo, watched the stock market fizzle to 1 times the price of gold, …

Your common sense could see all this coming down the pike but you chose to leave the kid in the woods overnight to ‘teach him a lesson’.

Scott Adams gave a fawning look at our would be Fuehrer. ‘He’s so smart’, Scott drooled.
His every utterance is calculated to elicit the best response….blah, blah, blah.

Trump is a bully. He employs bullying language. He’s a drama queen. He makes noise over every little slight. He will attack anyone and everyone not on his side.

How much more do you have to see to finally see through him?
Now we have decision bias, you bought off on him and now you have to keep making excuses for him: well, everybody hates him and that’s why I like him…

Yeah. He’s your messiah, right? Got it.

Your DAILY whining about Trump is getting tiresome. Just STFU already, and hop aboard the Trumptrain. You’re legal so you don’t have to worry about being sent to Mexico.

I don’t want to have to learn Spanish so I’m voting for Trump. I also don’t want my kids sent to invade Syria.

Stuck, if Admin would stop posting these Trump related articles, I would not say anything about Trump but somebody has to say something negative. Or I can just go along with everybody.

Heads in the sand, everybody. Everything is going to be OK.

Iska, either way, the USA is going to be drawn into a land war in the middle east. The changing of the guard doesn’t affect policy. The changes are superficial bullshit like Trannies in the bathroom. The really big shit like walling in the serfs in Murica, those things are a go from the git-go.

Your kids don’t have to learn Spanish, shit, my own kids never learned Spanish. English is the international language. American culture is the international culture. At some point, America will become irrelevant because the world will be America.

Shit, I hate myself for being so clear eyed.

Vote for Trump, everybody. Like Paul Ryan, I am finally aboard.

Whether we elect Nixon, Reagan or he who must remain nameless, it is all the same. I’m simply projecting things we can anticipate.

A leader is not just the one who says let’s go this way, leadership also involves knowing where the dragons hide.

Ahhh. Somewhere along the line, the trickster became convinced he was a sheepdog.

Fuck you all. EC going back to full retard mode.

Hold me tight
I don’t want to hear it,
No more fussin’ and fightin’ baby,
Hold me tight.
Let’s let bygones be bygones,
Let’s think about tomorrow Stuck,
Our future’s bright.
Well, I know I was wrong,
But, I was just a fool,
Too blind to see
Trump was the only one for me.
Ah but now I see the light,
and everything’s gonna be all right,
Stucky, Hold me tight.
