    The lowest common denominator culminating in the race to the bottom. Political discourse using flamebait for one The same techniques employed by much of FOX News and all of RW talk radio. Notice how symbiotic it all is??

    Donald Trump, Chris Christie and the Republican Race to the Bottom

    This story is included with an NYT Opinion subscription.


    While your attention is riveted on the competition for the Republican presidential nomination (well, maybe not riveted, or even focused, but maybe occasionally mildly interested), there is another contest among Republican politicians – to say the most obviously ridiculous thing that pops into their heads.

    The leaders in this category are much easier to define than those in the nominating contest itself: Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and Chris Christie. Not only are the crazy things they say crazier than what the average Republican says, they really don’t have anything at all to say that’s worth hearing...

    I am not at all worried that Christie or Trump will win the Republican nomination. So this story is more of a hyperbole story on candidates who have no chance.

    Sounds like the OP is in favor of Crooked Hillary and Pocahontas on the ticket. Beautiful pair and so honest.

    I personally am truly impressed that The Donald is attempting to tackle flaws in
    Federal Reserve policy.

    Trump Calls For Auditing the Fed

    GOP frontrunner makes good on promise to call for audit of Fed


    “It is so important to audit the Federal Reserve, and yet Ted Cruz missed the vote on the bill that would allow this to be done,” Trump tweeted out.

    During Friday’s appearance on the Alex Jones Show, Trump insider Roger Stone was asked if Trump would call for an audit, and Stone said that he thought so but would pass the message along to the Trump campaign.

    “He’s not a big fan of the Fed,” Stone pointed out. “He is scaring the central bankers; he is scaring the Washington/Wall Street/D.C. consultant/lobbyist class.”

    “He’s deeply suspicious of the Fed and I think he is open-minded about the Fed… I’d suspect you’d get an audit of the Fed [with Trump].”

    It's funny watching the left go into panic mode now. Too bad you guys don't believe in God because you could be asking in prayer that Trump doesn't win.

    But you dont so you can't.
