    Well, DH, ever bother reading the Wall Street Journal? They're about the most conservative outfit going. Stupid? They (and the conservative Republican college grads) are smart enough to see Trump for what he is- and he's scaring them badly. I could say for starters they don't want a loose cannon with his hands on the nuke codes. Or a guy proposing a financially impossible task- building that wall. Or proposing cutting taxes will balance the budget- that's never worked before- and it sure as hell won't work now. If you want to stick your head in the sand, be my guest. I'm old enough to remember Bob Dylan's "you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind's blowing." Goldwater got destroyed in 1964- for almost the same reasons Trump will in 2016. The media is being unfair? Man up, and quit bitching about it like a little kid. If the election were next week, my bet is Hillary would have 400+ electoral votes.

    PS BB- if you think electing Trump is magically going to stop rioting- not happening. UNLESS that is- you want a police state. Seems to be what Trump is advocating.

    I will take you up on any bet like that

    But WSJ is not particularly conservative, their editorial board may suck the dick of the likes of George W Bush - but it's establishment.

    And what Republican doesn't propose tax cuts? George W decided to implement large tax cuts while simultaneously increasing the budget.

    For real... 400+ today? At most it's 380-ish today...

    (McMullin's) plan is to deny both Clinton and Trump the 270 electoral votes which would throw it to the House where he could win there.

    First, I've heard him say that. All I've heard is kill Trump in Utah. Only other ballot I know he's on is Colorado and 2 states aren't nearly enough to throw this to the House.

    Is he on more now?

          I heard him speak on Fox last night and he is an impressive candidate. If he would have entered the race sooner and gotten on all the ballots I would have considered voting for him. He is being put up by the never Trump crowd at this late date only to play the spolier. No thanks for me and I will not vote for him.

            Trump would have shredded him as he did everybody else. Goldman sachs, CIA, establishment guy - he would have won Utah because he's a mormon.

              Trump must not think he is such a great debater as he ducked out of two of them in the primaries.

              Trump probably would have shredded him in the republican primary but as everyone keeps saying this isn't the republican primary any longer this is the general election....what worked for Trump in the primary will not work for him in the general election.

                He ducked one which was pretty justified after Fox's comments clearly showing they wouldn't be "fair and balanced"

                But he did the veterans event, which was pretty successful.

                The last one literally didn't matter, Trump was essentially the presumptive nominee at that point.

                      Heard him as well... found his CIA-experienced-based "I know how to defeat ISIS" off-putting, but otherwise not bad. He was conceding the social issues are settled although being personally opposed to everyplace they have settled.

                      Had he gotten in sooner he have gotten oppo'd and odds are something would have likely come out to knock the shine off of him.

                        The RNC shouldn't have let him get away with it and told him going to debates as a republican candidate is not optional it is a requirement.

                            Worse is when a team has locked up the playoffs and has nothing to play for and they sit out their starters while others teams on the bubble to make the playoffs needed them to win...........the Colts come to mind when they sat out their starters in the last game of the season and it cost the Browns making the playoffs that year.

                              Except for it's only that we are Browns fans that we would be upset that a team gives itself the best chance in the playoffs.

                                  I didn't see resting the starters for the Colts ever being that successful. Not a big Patriot fan but I will tip my hat to them when they had a chance to play for the perfect season they took it and played a meaningless last game of the season like a playoff game unlike the Colts who threw away their chance for a perfect season and sat out their starters which didn't help them in the play offs anyway.

                                    May have been the last strategic thing he did. He was ahead and had nothing to gain by attending. Helped himself more by showing he was an unconventional, man's man by not going.

                                    The RNC shouldn't have let him get away with it and told him going to debates as a republican candidate is not optional it is a requirement.

                                    Not sure they had a choice though... he was ahead... he was clearly "the star" of the GOP campaign... IIRC at the time he gave them their best chance in the general.

                                    If they take "a stand" and he doesn't budge, then what does the GOP do other than stand there emasculated?

                                      Admittedly Trump put the RNC in a position of being between a rock and a hard place no doubt. They were always scared to death he was going to run as a third party candidate (which he threatened to do often).
