March 3rd Republican debate on Fox News - 9 pm ET

[CaptUSA]

No point and no need.

It doesn't actually matter who anyone votes for, does it?

Well, except that because these folks were able to fall under this spell (as you did yourself), it prevented the one candidate who was really anti-establishment from gaining a foothold. I'd say it matters. Not for 2016. Hell, Hillary's had that for awhile. But for our future.

300mln is nothing in some circles.

Good excuse to help keep the enemedia in the black.

 

[thoughtomator]

The one he reads about in the papers all the time. It isn't comforting, but it doesn't mean they are friends.

It could be but it's a massively bad sign when the first name off the top of his head is the head of CFR.

 

[AuH20]

Unless he was the prepared "solution" in a Hegelian Dialectic.

Problem -> corrupt and oppressive government
Reaction -> overwhelming popular support for anything that looks like another option
Solution -> Donald Trump, fake alternative working for the same people

It's not like he named just any CFR guy, he named the President of the Board of Directors as his go-to for defense policy.

Do you realize what you're suggesting? That they set up a fall guy to destroy his reputation and potentially his business interests, so they could set up an electoral scenario that angers the world? How many players would that include? Hundreds across multiple nations and countless media departments?

The main problem with Donald Trump is that he is very stubborn and does not put in the necessary prep time for these debates. It is well documented that his notoriously unprepared to compete at the big level with highly detailed 'gotcha' policy questions. Just look at his struggles with the nuclear triad question. The Haas answer probably falls into the same realm as the SCOTUS question. Just feverishly throw out names that you saw or read.

Space based missile defense? Is this the same as Star Wars from Reagan era?

 

[AuH20]

Trump better do his homework or he will be carved up in the general election debates. They are going to make it about geopolitical nonsense, like what is the capital of Uzbekistan and other nuanced bullshit. I can already see where the media is heading with their agenda.

That's not the order in which things happened. The real anti-establishment guy had plenty of time to rally these folks and chose to make himself as establishment as he could, instead. Trump's name came in way late into the game.

I was not ever "under his spell". The logic was absolutely sound and remains so, only the information has changed. The logic was contingent on Trump not being a direct party to the CFR agenda, no evidence was produced previously that he was, and new evidence has emerged now, which gives us a different final answer.

Trump not CFR = best choice by a landslide, by default
Trump CFR = election outcome predetermined since the day Rand dropped out

The only reason to participate in an election is to get someone who is not part of the shadow government in a position to do something effective.

There will only be three debates hopefully, and he will have a lot more time to get prepared after he secures the nomination.

He has to realize that he can't charm his way to the presidency like a pending real estate deal. Do the necessary work. Build up your bona fides as a man of the world and take down Hillary.

Trump just got exposed as a CFR puppet who is weak on immigration. Tonight's debate probably just cost him the nomination.

Trump does not seem like a guy who is much into preparations. He knows he can wing it once in the office and he is very reluctant to do any homework before hand. His strategy is blitzkrieg, a prolonged back and forth - not so much.

 

[misterx]

That was a great answer by Cain. He could've added in his choice of Secretary of State and it will be their job to know these things, and keep him properly informed.

 

[CPUd]

Uh oh...

 

[misterx]

Now Rubio will support Trump as nominee? I don't believe it.

which works to a degree. But the enemy has pulled out the stops.

They're not destroying his reputation, they're spreading it. The Trump brand will be more widely known than ever before. They don't intend for him to win, they intend to use him to cockblock anyone else who may channel that anger in a way they don't control. They used Fred Thompson this way in 2008, with his months of will-he-or-won't-he ambiguity, preventing conservatives from rallying around an alternative. Thompson is a member of - you guessed it - CFR.

I will see to it that plucky young lads/lasses in strange clothes and with the accent of an outlander shall REGULARLY climb some monument in the main square of my capital and denounce me, claim to know the secret of my power, rally the masses to rebellion, etc. That way, the citizens will be jaded in case the real thing ever comes along.

That is so 1980's.

Widely known? He's alienated every crony capitalist in the Western Hemisphere. He's getting numerous death threats from hundreds of people worldwide. His star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was recently defaced with a swastika? Do you think all of this can be easily fixed with a 'Hey Guys, I was just kidding? Can we be friends now?' He will die with the stigma of this POTUS run if he cannot win. He will be mocked as a 'Loser' as well.
