    I think they are being absolutely delusional, they really need to come out of their Ivory Towers and talk to some real Republicans.

    Most Republicans are MORE bigoted and hateful than Trump. Trump isn't saying we should nuke Mexico and that genocide should be our solution to all our racial and ethnic problems. Most all of the Republicans I have talked to say exactly that.

    Does the Huffington Post have a funny pages section?

    I believe that is where they put the Kissenger, Krauhthammer, and Shapiro items. Because alternative views are not permitted.

    Excellent post!

    Can you imagine how different our nation would be if the National News Media did not have such a heavy Liberal Bias.

    Studies have shown that Democrats enjoy a 5% - 7% bump due to Media Coverage. I hope as the new media takes over that this evaporates. But, we already see internet powers like Google screwing with search results. Liberals are very overt about their ideology and insuring when they have power that they exercise it.

    The thread title stuff is irritating. It was abused by a lot of Liberal posters with this titles that had no basis of reality when you read their links, but an event like this where HuffPo failed huge (on purpose) with their title, an honest title change that remains on topic should have been permitted. It's just some common sense to help the debate.

    I am weary due to past Trump positions and allies like his donation to the Clintons.

    I will however keep an open mind and watch. I would doubt I vote for him in the primaries.

    My top candidates are (in no particular order): Carson, Cruz, Paul, and Fiorina

    I guess some Liberals will now start calling me an ageist! Look! Surfer hates old people, he only went with a black guy, Hispanic guy, white guy, and a women... no old people!

    Well as you know I honestly believe that leftists have already gained so much permanent control of the nation's educational process and dominance of the bulk of the news media that the United States can never now recover. Hopefully I am wrong; and were I still a drinker I most certainly would drink to that hope!

    Sorry [MENTION=63496]Gatewood[/MENTION] your thread got nuked to the wasteland too.

    Along with the title change a thread I got... I don't expect this to get any real discussion. So much for promoting debate and discussion.

    The smarter people have begun to reject the National Public Media. It's already happened with the newspapers and magazine industry. Those fools chose to die rather that offer a fair reporting of events. Liberals will put ideology over business. (SEE MSNBC)

    On education, we have to get rid of Public Education or we are doomed. The product they produce is not only inferior, but hammered with a huge hardcore leftwing bias.

    Liberals also control our bureaucracies. The IRS, EPA, Justice Department, and more are loaded with left wing hacks.

    We have to let the system fail before it will swing back, and trust me it will fail in a dramatic, but hopefully not bloody way.

    Being an old FDR liberal, and you must be a faux liberal, so... the cons are right about these modern liberals. They are little petty fascists.....

    The HP is just a propaganda outlet, and Goebbels is right proud of it, and the people that consume it, to become brain dead.

    I generally blast FOX an conservative talk radio, but looks the HP is trying to be even more overt in their propaganda tactics. I think since their readership is already braindead, they do no figure that will notice the overtness.

    I've never considered myself a single-voter person, but right now the US needs someone who thinks the US is actually that: A country on the world map whose interests will be best served by reflecting its own interests, rather than the rest of the world. While Hillary Clinton would pal with U.N and friends, I'm personally like "It's OUR way, or the high way."

    The US must remain the world's dominate and lone super power, and it can't do that if it doesn't even bother protecting its borders. A vast majority of Americans polled want English to be our National Language. I included. ETC. I hold tremendous pride in our country. I don't believe many US politicians or any US politicians on either side of the aisle have that pride.

    If one wants to take away my philosophical positions, and strip it down to its bare essentials, one could also call me a Populist. I'll do whatever is in the U.S's best interest as a nation, both pluralistically and individually. Hence, Trump appeals to me. Not likely to heed someone's call to "do this" when we need to do THAT instead.

    I agree. The single issue voters are idiots politically and ideologically.

    If it came down to Trump or Clinton / Sanders there is no choice. Trump it is.

    Nobody is a bigger joke than 0bama.

    And everybody with an IQ over .05 already knew HuffPo was not a legitimate news source.

    So what else is new?

    They're also idiots personally. If you become somewhat skilled at watching people walk down the street, you can tell by their actions whether or not theyre decently competent(and probably, whether they're a Liberal or not). How? The Liberal is the idiot who doesn't care, whose wearing crappy clothes and who you have to beat the horn, lest you're really tempted to run the dumbasses over XD.

    They're also the ones who raise the damn kids who walk across the street slowly, as though they have all day while we have "nothing better to do than drive" lol. The Liberal Revolution coincided with a real dumbing down of this country. Being born in the 90's(92 to be specific), I'm a very rare and happy exception to the rule.

    lol. And the silly thing still can't speak decent English!

    0bama called her nothing but a blogger. One of the rare times he was 100% correct.

    As some Indian guy who is less well known than Trumpnado said.

    First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you and then you win.

    Lol...The Huffington Post is no longer a valid news source. It is no different than: faux news

    HuffingPaint makes the assumption that anyone views their site as anything but entertainment! LOL :)

    - - - Updated - - -

    Donald Trump is the Republican frontrunner. Period.

    HuffPo has just disgraced itself in any pretensions it might have had to being a genuine news organization.

    No one who reads HuffPo is going to vote for Trump anyway, so I don't any reason for outrage.

    It's funny to see all of the right-wingers shooting their wads over Trump.
    What are you people going to do when he craps out and goes back to his tv show and leaves the cons without their bigot poster boy?
    Cruz will try to jump in to take his mantle, but he's almost as big a joke as Trump and as unelectable.
    You guys better get cracking and find someone who isn't a complete buffoon if you hope to win an election.
    Jeb is the only serious candidate you have and is your best hope to reclaim the White House, but you people prefer to wallow in the mud with your lunatic fringe while the rest of the country dismisses you.

    You really don't get it, do you? Trump has nothing to do with left or right. His role is pushing ideas out into the public. For discussion. What makes him special is he's the only one willing to do it. Everyone else had their heads up their PC butts, whereas Trump just comes right out and states the issue.

    And that, ultimately, is much more important than any partisan politics. You'll see. Hillary will be bitten by this whether or not Trump runs. (I hope he does, just 'cause I want to see the debate - lol ;) )

    Really? Fox News refused to cover which candidate with their political team?

    Your post is just a lie. We define you here by the posts you make. Do you ever wonder why virtually no one takes you seriously?

    Jeb is the worst candidate the GOP has. He is an establishment whore that will continue to play the Crony Capitalism game.

    Your view is that of the standard left wing talking points. Where is your original thought?

    huh. I don't seem to recall them putting Kucinich, Gravel, or Sanders into the entertainment section.
