And I or anyone should believe anything Moyers says why?

The CO of Maddox reported within 24 hours that he was no longer confident that he had been attacked, and that atmospheric anomalies affecting his radar created confusion. (I became intimately aware of those kinds of anomalies–which are common in the Mediterranean area–while serving as Combat Information Center Officer in USS John F. Kennedy. They can create havoc with radar.). Nevertheless, the incident was used as a pretext for bombing the NVN Naval base at Vinh and other targets.

The rest, as the saying goes, is history. I do not know what the discussions were within the Administration; only the ultimate actions. I have not read the Pentagon papers.

Parker, we agree. Walker has the cool demeanor, fronting an inner toughness, that I want.

I especially like the moral equivalence point Cruz makes, and the way he confronts her (very nicely buy firmly) with her rank double standards, hypocrisy and phoniness.
… and brings us ISIS while eating pork!

He has my vote!

Yep. How do you become a billionaire? First, start by getting a million dollars ….

Yes.
Also, my point was he was given an inheritance and made it grow. That in itself is unusual … most of the time a big fortune becomes much smaller.

Trump stumps.
Beyond all imagining: establishment has a problem, 27,000 in audience bothered to schlep to a stadium somewhere because …. antiestablishmentarianism.

the book stuff is genius … so is the talk about aptitude. Soon Cruz enters?

Cruz does not know he is being surprise “debated” by Ellen Page, and in five minutes she gets her comeuppance (in a polite way) .

I especially like the moral equivalence point Cruz makes, and the way he confronts her (very nicely buy firmly) with her rank double standards, hypocrisy and phoniness.

I also had to laugh at her defeated little rhetorical trick at the end where she thinks her awesome intellect will scold Cruz into submission.

Leftists – – they really are not nearly as smart of they think they are. Self-knowledge is a good thing to combat shallowness, but Page hasn’t gotten started yet.

The spate of “here’s what he is really like” stories sound very similar (and true).

Rush was gloating today about Trump, a very unappealing tone and attitude, and very uncharacteristic (from what I have ever heard).

I think many people are being unwise. The die are cast and we will see the number.

In case folks don’t know, Caro’s books on Moses and LBJ are required reading and the sort folks on this site would love.

The guy obviously has executive abilities, his style notwithstanding!

Remember discussions about Obama’s temperament [superb] and … intellect [first class]?
Not to mention the crease of his pants!
Ah, ah, ah!

Trump is flamboyant in his public/marketing persona but more personal and authentic in his private life. I’m not sure I believe it, but it does make some sense because he did build a big real estate empire, which takes some thoughtful planning and employee handling.

A political operative in Minnesota told me once that Ventura was actually a better governor (in one sense) than he was given credit for. He knew he didn’t know anything about government, so hired the best people he could find to run the various departments – and then gave them reasonable direction.

Ventura’s public statements and general beliefs are a different matter of course.

Maybe Trump would be most like Ventura?
