    I don't agree with that.

    He came very close to beating Cruz at a time when he had almost no name recognition outside his own district.

    By the end of that race, when he scared the heck out of the GOP, he had become a national name.  He was actually on the cover of Vanity Fair.

    It all went to his head and he decided to try to run for the Democratic nomination.  Bad error on his part.

    But what Beto did is he began to turn Texas from red to purple.  Which is a really estimable achievement.

    I think this https://www.dallasnews.com/business/real-estate/2019/12/10/almost-700000-californians-moved-out-of-state-last-year/ is why Texas is heading blue. People coming from California and bringing their California "values" with them.

    But then to talk about a junior Senator from Hawaii meeting dictator Assad in the same breathe as JfK and Khrushev with the world in the balance as I heard once on this forum is the weeniest comparison I could imagine and shows absolutely no knowledge of historical precedence. 
     
     
     
     
     
    'Peach Dat!

    She is not a Senator. Talk about a lack of knowledge!

    Trump has been a disaster just waiting to happen. Now it's happening. Surprise!

    U.S. presidents have always said that "we will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons." That can only mean one thing, and that's war. But if you're going to start a war, you better be prepared first. We don't even have a draft. So what do we do (after we wait, of course, till Iran blows up some Americans in retaliation for this Trump tat for tat)? Invade Iran and get hit with a million Iranian soldiers? That ought to turn out well.

     

     

     

    A quick Googling leads to the following troop numbers:

     

    Iran- 563,000 Total Troops

    Us- 1,300,000 Active Duty

           865,000 Reserve Troops

    Tell me why we need a draft?

    We Are Republicans, and We Want Trump Defeated

    The president and his enablers have replaced conservatism

    Stunts such as this only serve to strengthen support for the President. We elected Trump to change the status quo. When I see garbage like this or the impeachment attempts, it is proof positive that he is succeeding in his mission. Here's to 4 more years!

    I would have to agree about Crossfire Hurricane being problematic and perhaps a pretext.

    With the  Durham Report upcoming, and this one already out, its pretty easy to see why the liberal blogosphere has done all it could to spin these in advance.

    The senate trial was always going to be an uphill battle. 

    With this stuff, I now think it won't even be that.  It is DOA.

    In fact, I now think it actually may backfire.

    Senator Kennedy coined the term "Misfire Hurricane" yesterday.

    Very insightful. Yes, Trump is being compared to JFK by the ‘conspiracy theorists’ on the Right. What’s astounding is how many people buy it. The Left has never had an active echo chamber like today’s Right. It’s my belief that the money and brains behind the Right Wing conspiracy theorists don’t believe what they spout, but think it’s useful to divide and confuse the public. 

    Paul, with 90% of the mass media leaning far left, they do have quite an active "echo chamber". Perhaps you meant "effective"?

        If Epstein was working for the Mossad, as Phillip Giraldi believes, we'll probably never hear about it in the mainstream media.

         When was the last time the MSM ever published a story about activities of the world's most sophisticated, effective intelligence agency?  Entebbe?

    We need someone who can channel FDR to get his advice on how to handle Trump and his new neo-Nazi political crusade.

    Is that the same FDR that put Japanese Americans in internment camps?

    I thought all of the Nazi references were in regards to Omar and Tlaib.

    David, I see.

    Of course they may have wanted FDR to see this WPA created and funded project.

    Another question:

    Could JFK's limo been driven to the Trade Mart without any problems if it had stayed on Main  Street versus turning off and through the Dealey Plaza exit?

    Was this Houston Street/Elm Street diversion turnoff a real convenience saver in this regards?

    Wasn't there talk that going up main would require the motorcade to hop a curb? If I recall, they proposed installing a makeshift wooden ramp to get over the curb.

  10. So Iran shot down our drone and placed mines on oil tankers because MuH DrUmPf pulled out of a garbage deal?

    You don't realize that Trump artificially created a crisis by dropping out of the Iran nuke deal?

    Could our moderators post a permanent link to the Trump political thread perhaps at the top of our opening forum page?

    I am willing to go there with this subject matter versus posting on our JFK forum, however I keep losing the link.

     

    Joe,

    If you look at the top of the page just above the thread title and Mr. Caddy's picture it says home > controversial issues in history etc... Clicking on controversial issues gets you to where all the sub forums are located. The Trump bashing section is at the bottom. Not sure if you already use this but this is how I navigate to other forums.
