2016 Primary Endorsements megathread.

Andrew Napolitano is a bloviating dumb-dumb, and it speaks to the intellectual vapidity of the libertarian "movement" that he would be their go-to constitutional law scholar.

You have an example of a "dumb-dumb" comment of his?  Color me curious. I have not heard him say anything myself that I considered way, way out there, but that does not mean that he hasn't.

Gold-bug, Federal reserve conspiracy theorist, 9/11 truther, crazy views on the Civil war, etc., etc.

His role on the right is that he's a non-expert and a dumb-dumb so he can say whatever Obama does is unconstitutional because he isn't constrained by having actual knowledge.

OK, he has kooky policy views, but that does not make him necessarily clueless when it comes to parsing the current play of the law as it is, as opposed to what he wants it to be.

Here's a map of Congressional endorsements.  Tell me about any errors.


For dems Hillary is purple and O'Malley is the tealish colour.


For Reps Bush is Blue, Filorina is Pink, Rubio in Red, Santorum in Dark pink, Paul in Yellow, Huckabee in Brown, Cruz in Orange, Graham in extremely light pink, Christie in ocean blue and Kasich is the blue in Ohio, who's colour I don't really know.

Fix for color descriptions:

For dems Hillary is purple and O'Malley is the tealish colour (no example of teal).


For Reps Bush is Blue, Filorina is Pink, Rubio in Red, Santorum in Dark pink [magenta], Paul in Yellow, Huckabee in Brown, Cruz in Orange, Graham in extremely light pink [lavender], Christie in ocean blue [cyan]and Kasich is the blue in Ohio, who's colour I don't really know [sky blue].

I only put this up, because well, a certain poster here just posted a comment below the article, just to stir the pot a bit.

[Torie]

Joni Ernst is not endorsing Rubio, but is going to travel around with him, introducing him at campaign events. Talk about a threading a needle.

[Torie]

Yawn. That's the "powerful endorsement" eh?  LOL.

[Torie]

Let's get some links folks.

Unless you want someone to enter this thread and say "The Martian King endorses Fiorina" or something.

"As with Palin, whose former aide, Michael Glassner, serves as Trump's political director, Trump is also connected to McMaster through a staff member: Trump's South Carolina political director, Jeff Taillon, who served as McMaster's campaign manager during his successful 2014 bid for lieutenant governor."

Is Trump buying endorsements? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Torie]

Thank God, TRUMP needs all the help he can get from patriotic Americans after the media hilariously decided Lavenous Marco coming in third was a win.

Did you post unkind things about Scott Brown in the past? Inquiring minds want to know. I guess this Trump thing is going to flogged by the usual suspects for some time to come, for our reading pleasure. And it will be more pleasurable to savor it all, as his brand slowly sinks to the bottom of the Mindanao Trench, and they begin to start sweating like abused dogs!

[Torie]

Well, I already knew he was, shall we say, strange.

[Torie]

Not a huge fan of Governor LePage, but I'd like to see President TRUMP bring back the guillotine.  It'd a humane, if showy way of removing undesirable elements from our society, like some of the posters around here.

Are you opebo per chance?

[Torie]

I thought opebo is Donald Trump.

Think about this: misspellings, obsession with "bearded men", exploitation of the poors.

Opebo does not have an Northeastern seaboard accent. I know, because I have spoken to him on the telephone. Opebo could not handle the gay thing, thus no actual adventures, even if not actually involving each other. He's at bottom, really quite fragile. Tough talk, but nothing there really in reality. Wimpish really. And whatever one thinks about Trump, and I think a lot about him, almost entirely negative, he's no wimp.

It's actually frightening you know that much about him.

Well, it's a big world out there. One thing I have learned in my old age. Be brave, take some risks, and go for it. You only live once. In the end, the sum total of your life, is your experiences, the skill set you develop, and what you do for others, to try to make some positive difference (your family of course if you have one being job one), with your skill set. The rest is noise.
