Half Hour Of "Highlights" From Last Night's Republican Candidates' Food Fight

Donald Trump
"Hey! The way to win the GOP nomination is to woo voters as if they were preparing to choose a Middle School class president. 
The prime directive is: "Find out what the aggressively ignorant want to hear, and then tell it to them.
Only one in a hundred will bother to fact-check.
And if that one in a hundred does not like what s/he discovers, s/he will deny any inconvenient truth as part of a liberal plot.
That's the winning strategy folks!
My opponents on this stage are either too stupid to know this... 
or too duplicitous to admit it."

Debate rips open GOP wounds, and party risks tearing itself apar

Alan: Rubio asserted that "it's been over 80 year"since a "lame duck president" appointed a justice to the Supreme Court. In fact, Anthony Kennedy was confirmed by the Senate on Feb. 3, 1988, in the final year of Ronald Reagan's presidency, by a 97-0 vote. That was also a presidential election year.

Republicans mistakenly assume that ISIS can be defeated through application of sufficient force. This belief in the salvific power of violence is at the heart of American conservatism and consequent failure to understand the radically decentralicentralized, hydra-headed nature of asymmetric warfare is breathtaking. Not only does it assume victory can be won militarily, it ignores the trap set by jihadists whose foremost strategic goal is to engage U.S. soldiers in direct combat.

http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2014/06/israeli-war-historian-martin-van.html

Excerpt: "For misleading the American people, and launching the most foolish war since Emperor Augustus in 9 B.C sent his legions into Germany and lost them, Bush deserves to be impeached and, once he has been removed from office, put on trial along with the rest of the president’s men. If convicted, they’ll have plenty of time to mull over their sins." War historian Martin van Creveld is the only non-U.S. author whose writings are obligatory reading by America's Officer Corps."

Alan: Despite Trump's encouragement of the worst angels of our nature, I want him to win the Republican nomination 

in order to reveal the terrified face of American conservatism.

Remember: If you're terrified, the terrorists won.
And you made their victory possible.
