exactly. sometimes people simply won't see what's in front of them because it seems too... well...

Ahem....

As I told you, it would be absolutely, totally, and in all other ways inconceivable!

the pundits are all comfortably patting themselves on the back, telling each other, "well, everyone got it wrong" and "it was a 'black swan' event nobody could have seen coming" and other such weak excuses. What all of this ignores is that it really wasn't. exactly. sometimes people simply won't see what's in front of them because it seems too... well... As I told you, it would be absolutely, totally, and in all other ways inconceivable! ~vizzini (wallace shawn), the princess bride

And if I may be so presumptuous as to put a little bug in your ear vis a vis the MDDOTW award??

Clinton is doing exactly what you said she shouldn't do. Telling Bernie to get out of the race...

But getting back to the subject of the commentary..

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2016/05/19/what-trumps-supreme-court-list-and-hillary-clintons-reaction-to-it-tells-us.html?intcmp=hphz05

Trumps journey to an acceptable conservative is continuing apace... :D

Personally, I don't give a rip about conservative... I just want a good leader..

And Trump has already proven he is a good leader...

But, if ya'all are hoping for a knock down drag out in Cleveland???

Looks like the only knock down drag out we're gonna see will be in Philly.. :D

Ooops a bit o the powder got wet.. :D

I realize that much of the political press is currently dissecting the continuing division amongst the Democratic base, at least those who aren't caught up in the he said/she said fight over who has treated women worse on a personal basis (Donald Trump or Bill Clinton?). But I'm putting all that aside for today (I'll address some of it tomorrow, never fear...), Looking forward to it.. :D But come on?? Who treated women worst??? That's like saying "Who treats women worse?? Don Juan or Bill Cosby" Michale

Oops. Did the opposite of usual. Said I'd done a dupe, when I was previewing, then posted first draft AND second. Oh well.

The punditocracy and much of the media simply couldn't accept that the GOP had spawned a base that would find Trump preferable to anyone else. They couldn't believe years of Republican "anything goes if we win-ness" coupled with their epistemic closure-inducing media constellation would impact their captive audience. They'd spent so many years pretending "both sides do it" and "everyone knows the people at FOX aren't meant to be taken seriously " and "just because GOP leaders are both continuously dishonest and utterly inconsistent doesn't mean they believe what they say, except when they do and how can you tell?" and "just because Republican Governors refused Medicaid money and let their citizens go without healthcare because it's the evil Obamacare doesn't mean they aren't heartless ideologues who prefer to let people die rather than give President Obama a success" and all the rest. Gun sales UP, hate-crimes UP, racism loud & proud but none of that is because Republicans believe in nothing except holding power and destroying their opponents. No, it's because...because...hey, here comes another election! Let's play! Chris: you just looked at the data. How much fun is that?
