Super Duper Tuesday Open Thread; Can Trump be stopped? Will Hillary sweep?

Legal Insurrection  

"The Democrats bizarre super delegate situation, as explained in a cartoon"

Is it fair to say Donald Trump has some problems with women?

But if he is the GOP candidate, I will vote for Trump because I'm voting for Supreme Court Justices and an EPA head, not a president. I like the odds better with Trump than with Hillary or Bernie. TD

Top Trump Misogynistic Comments All In One Ad (with video)
"The good folks at Our Principles PAC take Donald Trump to task for his crude, disgusting and hurtful misogynistic comments with a new ad titled, “Quotes.” The ad  shows women reading some of the Donald’s meanest comments insulting and demeaning women — from bimbo to his infamous “blood coming out of her wherever” comment directed to Megyn Kelly, which got him uninvited to RedState. Watch the video:" 

About this 2016 Presidential election:

Never lose sight of the fact that we are choosing a Supreme Court , a Department of Justice and an EPA this November!

Obama sics his federal agencies on his enemies

First he sends his Department of Liberal "Justice" after them

AG Lynch testifies DoJ ‘discussed’ prosecuting ‘climate deniers
. . . "The stepping up of persecution of dissent indicates desperation on the part of warmists, who have resorted to revising data in order to support their failed hypothesis.  Corporations like Exxon may cave for P.R. reasons, as the warmists hope.  But principled truth-tellers, people like S. Fred Singer, Richard Lindzen, and Anthony Watts, will stand their ground.  Science is based on dispute.  Warmism is a religion, and religions have been known to persecute dissent. " . . .

A few simple questions for climate fanatics   "President Obama, Bernie Sanders, and Hillary Clinton state that climate change is more dangerous to future generations than terrorism.  They advocate destroying industries that have greatly improved our quality and length of life.  I believe that the American people are entitled to some actual scientific facts instead of talking points" . . .





And Obama's IRS comes after his opposition as we all have witnessed

And, in case you hadn't noticed already, the Obama EPA has and is wreaking havoc on the US economy.

After destroying health care and economy, Obama now using EPA to destroy industry   ". . . Yes, Obama plans to use the power of the bureaucracy, which falls under his control as head of the Executive Branch, to enact an environmentalist agenda that is focused not on "being green" but instead on killing off another U.S. industry."

Obama expected to severely limit oil drilling in Arctic and Atlantic   . . . "And Obama has given a number of indications in the last six months that he is becoming more responsive to campaigners’ arguments that if he is serious about fighting climate change he must stop the extraction of coal, oil, and gas – not just put curbs on emissions." . . .

Violence at Trump rallies is spiraling out of control. "You should be worried."

Violence at Trump rallies explained
"Trump rallies have become a magnet for protesters — and protesters have become a magnet for violence"
Not a family-friendly photo, but we must face things as they are.
"Trump had the opportunity to calm things down on Sunday. Instead, he offered to pay McGraw's legal fees — carrying through with an offer he'd been making at rallies since the Iowa caucuses.
"Rallies have been the stage on which these conflicts have played out. But Trump's endorsement of violence, and his egging on of supporters (spurring anti-Trump protests that are increasingly organized and aggressive themselves) threaten to destabilize not just this whole presidential cycle but democratic society itself.
. . . 
"But even if Trump is never elected president, his corrosive effects on democracy could be long-lasting." . . .
"Other Republicans are finally acknowledging that what Trump is doing is unacceptable"  Emphasis added, TD
Political Cartoons by Steve Breen

No, Sarah, NO!  Sarah Palin showed up at a Trump rally to decry “petty punk ass thuggery stuff.”

HopeNChange Is no fan of Trump, but fears the force of leftist rioters and their George Soros funded instigators.
" . . . we won't stand idly by while he's blamed for the increasingly violent protests being waged by the well-funded and entirely-orchestrated Left.

"What we're seeing is the culmination of over seven years of anti-Republican hate speech from the Democrats and media. Members of the GOP have been compared to terrorists and hostage takers. Hillary Clinton, no stranger to "Youtube videos which inspire violence," can be found on Youtube hysterically shrieking that Republicans "want to take away everybody's rights! Women's rights! Gay rights! Civil rights! Human rights!"  Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders blames billionaires like Trump for the woes of the world, then calls on his young supporters to commit themselves to revolution."


Remember Joe Biden and his 'Going to Put Y'all Back in Chains' ?

What we fear now that no matter who is the GOP candidate, these same rioters will disrupt their gatherings. Recall that disruptions have already been planned for the Republican Convention even before the Trump-Soros face-off began.
Of great concern is that there is no sign of outrage from Democrats or the mainstream media.TD

Sorry, WSJ, but the GOP Field Must Narrow

David is the brother of Rush Limbaugh and, as a
believer in Christ, authored the book, Jesus On Trial.
What does it tell you that Trump does better in open primary states where Democrats can vote for the Republican candidate? Cruz is said to do better in closed primary states where only GOP voters can vote for the GOP candidate. Liberals help pick the Republican candidate, then riot to protest him when he appears. I miss Carly. TD

David Limbaugh  "It is disheartening that the Wall Street Journal editorial board, for whom I had such respect for years, is discouraging a narrowing of the GOP field if either John Kasich or Marco Rubio wins his home state Tuesday.
"It’s bad enough for the editors to encourage Rubio to stay in if he wins Florida, but to invite Kasich to stay in is just madness.
"Their underlying assumptions are wrong. They strongly imply that if Trump wins both Ohio and Florida on Tuesday, he’ll be the inevitable nominee. They are encouraging a mainstream media narrative that is guaranteed to form Wednesday morning if Trump wins both states (and some of the others).
"In fact, truth be told, I’d wager that Ted Cruz’s team is hoping, grudgingly, that Trump does win those two states, because Cruz and company know, paradoxically, that this is their best chance to win the nomination outright, with the magic number of 1,237 delegates — or at least more delegates than Trump going into the convention." . . .

Genocide in Green

Doug Ross Journal  "The new leadership of the EPA proposed yesterday that the White House declare carbon dioxide a health danger. Carbon dioxide, which plants absorb and animals exhale, would be ruled a pollutant.

"It is a lie and fraud. You can't live without carbon dioxide and you can't live without water. Never mind that almost all greenhouse gas is water vapor." . . .

The post then moves to the consequences wrought by banning DDT:

"What does the hard left, environmentalist believe? I want you to know that they are responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of children all over Africa and Southeast Asia. Because they successfully banned DDT.
"DDT saved hundreds of millions of lives. DDT was used in the United States to destroy malaria."

. . . 
"In 1970, the National Academy of Sciences wrote in a report that ''to only a few chemicals does man owe as great a debt as to DDT'' and it credited the insecticide with preventing as many as 500,000,000 human deaths.

"But all of that changed in 1962, when Rachel Carson -- a rabid opponent of pesticides -- succeeded in spreading widespread hysteria about DDT's effects on wildlife and especially children. In her book Silent Spring, Carson decried the use of DDT.

. . . "She claimed DDT resulted in birth defects and mental retardation... and, yet, not one case has ever been proven. Not one. 

"Thus, it is a sickening irony that Carson's focus on children helped kill the use of DDT, when malaria causes the deaths of millions of children in the developing world. You see, the developing world is the target of the Enviro-Statist. For it is there that the Statist can more easily shape policy and control lives.


"And the mainstream media gobbled up Carson's lies. The Environmental Defense Fund and the Sierra Club brought litigation to pressure the government to ban DDT.

"An administrative law judge heard the case for months -- and ruled against the extremists. He said that DDT was not a carcinogenic hazard to man; that it was not a mutagenic hazard to man. He said the use of DDT does not have deleterious effects on freshwater fish, organisms, wild birds, or othe wildlife, let alone human beings.

"But the judge's ruling was rejected by the EPA administrator in 1972, William Ruckleshaus. He attended no hearings and reportedly never read the relevant documents. Evidence was later discovered that Ruckleshaus had a fatal conflict-of-interest: he served as a fundraiser for the Environmental Defense Fund, the very group spearheading the anti-DDT campaign. " . . .

Should Christians Vote for the Lesser of Two Evils?

Should Christians Vote for the Lesser of Two Evils?



. . . "For starters, unless Jesus of Nazareth is on the ballot, any election forces us to choose the lesser of evils. Across every party and platform, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Still, the question is a valid one. Believing in human depravity doesn’t negate our sense of responsibility. By the standard of God’s law, every person is a liar, but that doesn’t mean we should hire an employee we know has a pattern of lying. Jesus taught that all who have lust in their hearts are adulterers, but that doesn’t mean a woman should shrug her shoulders when she learns her potential new husband is a serial philanderer.
"When considering the question of choosing between the lesser of two evils, we must begin with what voting is within our system of government. In our system, citizen is an office; we too bear responsibility for the actions of the government. Just as the lordship of Christ made demands for public justice on office-holders in the New Testament (Luke 4:15), the same is true for those who rule as citizens." . . .
'This side of the New Jerusalem, we will never have a perfect candidate. But we cannot vote for evil, even if it’s our only option.'

. . . "On that particular September morning when I was kneeling by the bed something interrupted the normal prayer process. It was this feeling of uncontrollable anger. It was so strong that I suddenly stop praying and started confronting God with questions. “Why have you left me alone to fight against these godless secularists?” “Why have you abandoned me after I have come to faith and taken a stand?” “Why have you left me weary and without the energy to go on?” And, finally, “Why won’t you cure me of the propensity to end my sentences with prepositions?” Just kidding on the last one."

" . . .I had a single message sent from a woman I met working at Summit Ministries several years earlier. The message was a literal Godsend. I have copied her words below and not a single one has been altered:

Hey Mike! So, this is really random, but tonight I was talking with the Father and He put you on my heart to be praying for. Sometimes He shows me pictures or gives me specific words also, and He gave me some for you. First, I saw you kneeling and it looked like you were all alone in a dark place somewhere. But then He let me see that picture zoomed out, and I realized you weren't alone or lost in darkness, you were inside His heart. Then I heard Him say that you have a very special place inside His heart. In addition, I pray specifically against any weariness or abandonment in your life and that you speak out His abundance, joy, comfort, and encouragement! You are not alone!!
. . . " Regardless, I thought it would be good to run this column for any of my readers who are presently in a dark place. The picture will eventually zoom out. Then you will see that you weren't really alone or abandoned in the darkness."

The Only Candidate Ohioans Dislike More Than Trump Is John Kasich

Whatever happened to that deep well of talent the GOP was originally said to have had before the first debate?

Kimberly Fletcher


"Why won’t Ohioans vote for their own governor for president? That is a questions I’ve been asked a lot lately. The short answer is he is no conservative. When you have a liberal media personality saying Kasich would make a great running mate for Hillary Clinton, well, that kind of says it all." . . .

. . . "Kasich went from being loudly outspoken againstObamacare in Ohio to embracing it. He went from promoting school choice to pushing Common Core on Ohio Schools. What’s more, he is opposed to requiring photo IDs to vote in a state that is overrun with voter fraud."

. . . "But I don’t doubt for a minute Trump could cuddle up to Kasich for VP if he thought it would win him Ohio. A vote for Kasich is either a vote for the establishment, or a vote for Trump—or worse—both."

Here Are The Radical Leftist Anti-Trump Groups Behind The Chicago Protest

Daily Caller
OCTOBER 12: Demonstrators hold up a piñata of Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump during a protest outside Trump Tower on October 12, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. 

ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Chicago is the Chicago franchise of an international network started in the wake of 9/11 and among the first to protest against a response in Afghanistan; since then the group is involved in most of the radical left’s favorite causes: anti-capitalist, pro-union, open borders, anti-war, anti-police causes. The day after the Trump rally the group was holding a forum entitled “Taking Action to Support Palestine.' ”


Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Rights "This radical leftist group, specializing in immigration, is a more extreme version of the far left version of National Council on La Raza in Illinois." . . .

Hillary promises, ‘We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business’

Thomas Lifson   . . . "Asking for votes on the basis of pity is one thing.  But promising to throw them out of work is even worse.  And that’s what Hillary, who needs to win coal-producing states Pennsylvania and Ohio, did yesterday.  Daid Rutz in theWashington Free Beacon:
Hillary Clinton said that her policies would “put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business” during Sunday night’s Ohio town hall on CNN.
Clinton was asked by TVOne’s Roland Martin about her Democratic primary success in states that tend to vote Republican in general elections, and he wondered how she could carry such states once matched up with a Republican rather than a far-left candidate like Sen. Bernie Sanders . . ."

Does Hillary have a political death wish?   "Ineptness alone does not seem adequate to explain the series of gaffes that have characterized Hillary Clinton’s campaign recently.  While violence at Trump events (but not the organized effort behind the disruptors) has grabbed airtime among talking heads, Hillary has been taking a wrecking ball to her appeal to voters." . . .
