Who cares about either of them.

There is so much Donald Trump doesn’t get– not the least of which is the respect of most Americans

There’s not much to get, Donald. You endorse Willard, and he loses three (3) primaries/caucuses/beauty contests. Badly. What is there to get?

What I don’t get is why people like Lard Limbaugh and our beloved Michelle-in-Utah, of fond and abiding memory, ever thought there was anything to you.

The solution is easy. “Unendorse” Willard and endorse Sanitarium. The former will rise again, the latter will plummet.

Can you feel it? I mean, can you really feel it? I can. A beat down is coming. I mean a real serious beat down is coming and the wingnuts are running scared. They are attempting to place the blame right now and they are looking for scapegoats. Go out and buy some more popcorn. The clown show is far from over. In fact, it is just heating up. Newton is not going to get mad, he intends to get even. So congratulations President Obama on four more years. You have rescued our economy and have but more bad asses in the ground than ol’ Georgie and Darth Vader did in 8 years of trying.

Trump, I like ya but go back to sleep as I can see you need the rest. 

Romneys’  winning Nevada was Trumps’ doing. Let’s see Romney losing…..Who’s doing?

The Don doen’t get much.

That makes three people then. Lard Limbaugh, Michelle in Utah and TT.

Trump and Coulter and other Romney-zombies know they’re gonna lose to Obama. They’re scared.

A dis from Trump is a boon for Santorum.  Which suits us Dems just fine.  Keep it up Trump!

Yep, the republicans are strapping on the suicide vests.  All of their candidates suck balls.  57-43 Obama.

 Guessing Obama’s IQ I see.

   Actually, Santorum lost by 17 percent, but leave it to Trump to stretch the truth.

So do I, I don’t get this Republican reality show event that has been going on. Santorum is a Big Govt. guy, voted for bridge to nowhere and various big govts ideas, now he is their conservative hero? What a joke. 

Since your stupid, it’s the margin of victory…or was your attempt at being clever?

The elite liberal media, obviously.  /sarcasm

That’s the point. No one understands it. Least of all the Republicans.

Right, Everybody knows it takes a low IQ to graduate with a J.D. magna cum laude From Harvard University.

Trump’s goal: to say he was responsible for the election of Mitt as next President.   For this reason alone, he will bash Santorum.

That’s funny because I don’t get Donald Trump.

But… But I thought the reason Romney was winning primaries was because of Trump’s endorsement and now he’s losing them? I don’t know what to think! Please, oh wise and mighty Donald, please tell us what happened! Was it the liberals? Was it Santorum’s wingnut superpowers? Or was it the fact you’re nowhere near as relevant a political figure as you seem to think? :D

Learn to spell before questioning another poster’s intelligence.

Ok, grammar queen…you win the day.

He opposed TARP, the auto bailout, FM/FM bailouts & the stimulus. He voted against cap & trade and for drilling in ANWR. He’s never supported government health care / public option and his personal life is clean. Mark Levin & Michele Malkin have been preaching that he’s the only consistent conservative in the race for at least a month, and people are hearing it. I think that’s what this is all about. (Not that I am convinced to vote for him… yet.)

Thats ok Donald, most people don’t get why you think you know anything about politics, or hair, or putting your name on everything you own

A lot of people are giving Donald credit for this.

You conveniently felt out the part where he voted for No child left behind, massive expansion of medicare, K-Street activities, Big Pork spender (not just for himself) including bridge to nowhere, endorsed Govt. intrusiveness of family life. Why do you guys pick and choose what part of Govt. you want and the part you want to leave you alone. It always come down to paying taxes (which in unpatriotic) vs individual liberty. 

Obama still hasn’t released his transcripts from Harvard.  Lots to hide Obama has!

Trump should stick to real estate (and didn’t he go — or nearly go– bankrupt at that?)

Santorum lost by 17 points.  But his boy Romney left the MA governor’s mansion after one lousy term with a HORRIBLE 35% approval rating!!!  He was too scared to actually face the voters, but chose to “run for president” on his last day of office to maintain his political relevance/ viability. Then, he put out his Lt. Governor to face the voters and she got beat by over 22 POINTS!

Donald, do your homework and know of what you speak.  Otherwise, just shut up because you make yourself look like a blithering idiot.
 

 If Trump despises Santorum, maybe it’s time to give Santorum a second look!

The things I listed are Newt and Romney’s biggest liabilities w/ fiscal conservatives. You’re right — he did vote for medicare Part D & NCLB. He also has a history of pork spending abuse (not nearly as bad as many, but bad nonetheless). However, those are off the political radar right now.

Santorum was defeated in 2006. He did not vote on TARP, auto bailout, Fannie/Freddie and certainly not the Bush or Obama stimulus.

I realize people put Trump on TV because he is bat shit crazy and it’s like looking at a train wreck in slow motion. I just wish the TV personalities would do a better job of calling him out on his lies, distortions, and bull.

 If he released them, people like you would say they were forgeries. So what’s the point?

Do you understand what Magna Cum Laude means?
It is a rarely used ddistinctionthat is only awarded to students with the highest grades. What possible reason would Harvard have for giving this honor to Obama if he didn’t deserve it?
Wait, I know! It’s all part of the big coconspiracyHarvard knew Obama would be president of The United States someday.That must be it!
LOL.

 His defeat in PA is irrelevant. This is a national election.

I never said he “voted” on those things. I said he opposed them. He was very vocal about it.

 Donald Trump Slams Rick Santorum On Early Start: ‘I Don’t Get Rick Santorum, I Don’t Get That Whole Thing’

Maye Dan Savage can show him.

Hay Donald, Take your endorsement and  whine? And shove it.

Your not anywhere near as important in the scheme of things as You combed over ego believes.

Trump’s endorsement is already sinking Mittens.  The kiss of death.

You are correct. However, simply being opposed is just not that big a deal overall. Being vocal is also not that big a deal.

He (and most of his supporters) create the impression that he voted on this stuff, when, indeed, he had been rejected by his former constituents 2 years earlier.

The truth is that, on balance, he voted big money and big government more often than not as a Senator.

Trump is a clown…that being said he does have a point….A point that many have brought up including candidates in the debates. It may not have a bearing in the primaries but it is something to think about for the general.

not everyone has to have a high IQ to get into or graduate from harvard.  duh.

yeah.  i think there was a reason.

Now will he take “credit” for this as he did the win RMoney got?

I agree, but the issue is how does he match up against Romney and Newt. Head-to-Head, he’s more conservative than either of them on the issues that most conservative voters are focused on right now.

Most people don’t get Trump. He should just go away and play with his dad’s money.

 Love the new avatar.

And the circus continues to nominate the candidate that is going to get his ass handed to him in the general election against Obama. I guess it is entertaining but completely meaningless.

One of the reasons that Rick Santorum lost in 2006, was that the Democrats ran Robert Casey Jr., the pro-life son of their former popular pro-life Democratic Governor Robert Casey, Sr.  Robert Casey Sr. became a hero of the pro-life movement when the Democrats would not permit him to speak at their 1992 National Convention in NYC which nominated Bill Clinton.

He is literally delusional.  His endorsing Romney was exactly want Santorum wanted.  And for gods sake, fix your hair, you look like a f’n clown.

Trump single-handedly buried the Romney campaign…He’s the Tea Party’s Nuclear Weapon of death!

  I know all this, of course, but perhaps others do not. Rick Santorum is far more pro-life than Casey. In fact, he doesn’t believe in contraception of any kind. Can’t understand why, after seven children, he was willing to let his wife go for unlucky number eight. She was 48-years old and statistics say that at that age you have a one-in-22 chance of a child having a birth defect. Before age 40 it’s one in 1500. A good argument for contraception, I think, particularly if you already have seven.

Trump is just all talk and no substance.  

Yes, there are few people who are more pro-life than Rick and I do not endorse his position on birth control.  My point (and I know you understand this) was that when the Democrats nominated a pro-life Democrat to run against him, it cut into Rick’s base and Robert Casey is a name in Pennsylvania that packs almost as big a punch as the name “Kennedy” in Massachusettes.  Donald Trump ignores these facts when he talks about Rick’s loss in 2006!

I’ve been trying to make understand the reasoning behind the RNC backing all these dozens of debates.  

I THINK I already got the reasoning & dynamics behind the new RNC rules on state primaries: the RNC wanted to stretch the process out longer in order to introduce & ‘vet’ the candidates for the nomination & at the same time stretch their backers’ megadollars with cooperative free media coverage, thus an extended form of product roll-out & brand-building (& brand RE-building, the RNC must have expected, or hoped anyway).  But – so many of the individual state GOP organizations rebelled (rebelled, verb., see root word rebel, noun), it’s brought about several unintended & unfortunate events: rather than given MORE control to the GOP voter base in the selection of delegates, it’s produced LESS control to that & MORE control to local state GOP organizations, resulting in a greater likelihood of a contested, or at least apparently contested, convention.  And but – rather than narrowing the field to a few, hopefully two, ideally the two strongest candidates, to whack at each other through the first two quarters of the year & re-create the sort of synergy the RNC has been so envious of the DNC having achieved in 2008 in the battle between Hillary Clinton & Obama, the STARTING field was so weakened by several potentially better candidates sitting this one out (Christie, Daniels, Ryan) that the membership of the WINNOWED field came down largely to who could best animate die-hard parts of the GOP base, with the result that a majority of the base are acting like they’ve sworn a blood oath against ever coalescing with those unAmerican marxist socialist commie heathen bastards, Republican establishment moderates. So I’m thinking now that that the same thing must have happened to the RNC vision for these debates as has happened with the state primaries: a best-laid plans of mice-and-men going aft affray thing – the ‘law’ of unintended consequences. I’m thinking that at some point no later than early in 2011, the RNC realized the problem with the large number of insurgencies among state organizations in resisting & even defying the RNC plan for the primary process, & determined to resort to an extended series of several dozen debate events in order to offset that problem. But instead of alleviating the problem, it’s made it worse, by allowing otherwise uncompetitive candidates of a peculiar stripe – insurgent populists – to compete without big money backing, without organization, without any real hope of attracting a broad coalition, yet LONGER: thus, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich & Rick Santorum. 

They didn’t have this dynamic in 2008, where, paradoxically, money didn’t matter as much (McCain had huge money problems through 2007), because the populist candidates – Tancredo & Hunter – had no Tea Party energy (Bircher legitimacy) to build on; so, with the exception of Ron Paul (who wasn’t then in-it-to-win-it & probably still isn’t), the candidates were all well within the party establishment, where these sort of dynamics the RNC sought to impose stand a better chance of working. But for 2012, the field started out chock-a-bloc with splinter populists (Bachmann in addition to Cain & Newt), & two of the three establishment candidates had unrealized flaws: Perry was so out of his depth he started drowning in the wading pool, & the party determined that agreeing to work in the Obama administration was a disqualifying mortal sin from the get-go (Huntsman). So – rather than two establishment candidates going battlebot at each other through the spring in emulation of the 2008 Dem contest, they’re stuck with an establishment candidate the base hates, hardly anyone actually likes & who’s also a progressive in the two senses that are most fatal ot the GOP base (1. as the progenitor of the main symbol of Tea Party scorn, Obomneycare, & 2. as having one of those sorts of personalities who people tend to dislike more the more one hears from him). 

So, it’s only February 8, already the writing is on the wall, & from this point on things only get worse & worse & worse for the RNC. Things are going to get so bad that Obama is going to be immunized against the effects of $4 plus gas. Things are going to get so bad that Obama is going to be immunized against the effects of a slowdown in the economic recovery, even a complete stall. And yes, Obama’s re-election is already looking inevitable. 

But what happens down the line to a party in such disarray it’s done this to itself? The extreme parts of the base are bound to blame the establishment & the RNC – that is, after all, what happened in 2009  - along with the rise of the Tea Party; the two are largely inseparable from each other. After 2012, things are about to get worse for the GOP.

Hmmm – have you seen Romney’s transcripts? After all, he too went to Harvard, in the combined Law & Business faculties program Harvard had there for a few years. And Romney is said to have finished at or near the top of that class. But have you seen Romney’s transcripts, to verify that? No, you haven’t – & unless Romney first gets the GOP nomination & second challenges Obama to release Obama’s grades by agreeing to release his own, then it’s unlikely you’ll ever see the Harvard grades of either. Now – Romney is a very connected guy, & the GOP has lots & lots of very connected people in their party: do you really think they don’t already know what Obama’s grades were? I mean, if they really suspected that Obama’s grades would prove Obama was a ‘project’ student, a product of ‘affirmative action’, why wouldn’t the RNC itself, & why wouldn’t Romney in particular, be demanding the release of Obama’s grades? The only SENSE to this is that the RNC & Romney already know what they are, & that they prefer the current situation where ignorant moops like you keep repeating this meme to the scenario of the actual grades of each coming out side-by-side.  

BTW – there’s lots & lots of stuff on the Google machine & the YouTube about Obama’s time at Harvard. For example, did you know that each of Harvard Law professors Lawrence Tribe & Charles Ogletree call him the most brilliant Harvard Law student they ever saw? You can even watch & listen to testimonials from Harvard Law classmates of Obama – but they’re kind of boring, because they’re all the same: brilliant student, leader, etc.

Maybe not from “harvard”, true; it’s a big university, & there are lots of faculties – but it’s pretty much impossible to get into Harvard Law without extremely strong undergraduate grades, & absolutely impossible to survive to graduation there without having first class academic ability. 

And defeated by 19%. That’s huge. That’s a record. No incumbent U.S. Senator ever before or since took such a beating. 

Now – why is that? What did that happen? What is it about Santorum that the people of Pennsylvania, after he served two terms there, turfed him so massively in 2006? 

  Donald Trump ignores a lot of facts and makes up his own.

Goggle:Magna Cum Laude.
You must be ignorant.

Perhaps its not too late for donnie to buy some real estate on the moon in gingrich’s colony?  Because he sure has no contact with earth reality. . .

I’m sorry but I don’t believe that is always true.

Very deep answer by the Donald as usual. Hard to believe Romney couldn’t win in MN CO & MO with his endorsement.

you really should stay off the internet pissedoffandbroke.

Everything isn’t for everyone.

Hout Bosques has dismantled you and those whines about wanting to see Obama’s transcript.  Only folks who are pissed off and broke could be so idiotic.

The Donald get’s an Erection from the sound of his voice….

He’s lost most of it.  He has filed for bankruptcy 3 times.  And, that is the reason he will never run for president – he would actually have to disclose his financial worth.

BUT, he was sure a fan of pork.

He screwed the people of Pennsylvania over by having them pay for his kid’s education from his home in Maryland.

And at age 48 she had Bella who does have a birth defect.

That may have been part of it, but people in Pennsylvania will also tell you that there were many things that Santorum did like charge the local school district in Pennsylvania for educating his 7 kids in Maryland.

What do grades tell you?  Nothing.  What tells you more about the guy is the fact that he was Editor of the Harvard Law Review and that he graduated Magna Cum Laude.  If that doesn’t tell you how smart the guy is, that just indicates how stupid you are.

Exactly.

Actually, Virginia.

you really should f yourself sweetheart. that may be just the thing FOR you.

That weasel on his head seems to get stiffer anyway………………….or is it a honey badger????????????

There are multiple reasons why an election turns out the way it does.  I just think that Donald Trump too easily dismisses the idea of a “political comeback.”  In 1962, when Richard Nixon was defeated in his campaign for Governor of California, Newscaster Howard K. Smith, produced a TV show entitled “The Political Obituary of Richard Nixon.”  Six years later he and a lot of others had to eat crow!

It pains me to say this – but, this may be the only time I ever agreed with Trump.  I don’t get Santorum either.  I don’t get anything about him.
