Yes, this was when he was first toying with the idea of running prior to the 2000 election.

oh man imagine Trump/Winfrey vs Clinton/DiCaprio

Sherrod is the Hill's Veep pick

so this 'carson should run for rubio's senate seat' thing -- is that serious or was it just a way to get him out of the presidential race

CNN banner as i left lunch was DONALD TRUMP TO RETURN FIRE AT ROMNEY

where are these brave GOPers willing to be Aaron Burr

The Trump crowd is shouting "we love you" at him

CNN article from '99 mentioning the Oprah veep pick. Makes for a very interesting time capsule on a number of levels.

I missed why everyone hates Cory Booker.

Romney:

"We will only really know if he’s a real deal or a phony if he releases his tax returns and the tape of his interview with The New York Times. I predict that there are more bombshells in his tax returns. I predict that he doesn’t give much, if anything, to the disabled and to our veterans. I predict that he told The New York Times that his immigration talk is just that — talk."

Christie has fun with "people on the internet"

Cruz has been mentioning it but I don't know what it refers to xp

okay i googled my way to some clarity. what a fucking world.

john cassidy theorized that they think trump, as a new york city real estate developer, has mob ties. he also theorized that if trump does, they're unlikely to appear in his tax returns

If I were the Mexican president, I would demand America build a wall to keep Americans in.

I missed why everyone hates Cory Booker.

old (2013) but still true

not much on his

...Senate career cuz he really hasnt done much

Listening to trump speaking rn. It's just bragging.

re: booker, there's also this: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/05/19/schooled

and this: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/12/the-cory-booker-show/266271/

Basically people think he is mainly good at getting national headlines as a rising star while doing a shitty job actually listening to and serving his constituents

TRUMP: I RUINED MY CARPET ENDORSING ROMNEY

Am I correct that there is a concerted push declaring Trumpf unfit to be president?

I don't know if I hate Cory Booker but his schtick always made me skeptical of him.

he's just an empty suit full of ambition and cash from i-bankers across the river in manhattan

as one tweeter said, man, that Obama DOJ is on a partisan witch hunt!

The Justice Department has granted immunity to the former State Department staffer who worked on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email server, a sign the FBI investigation into possible criminal wrongdoing is progressing.

A senior U.S. law enforcement official said the FBI had secured the cooperation of Bryan Pagliano who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign before setting up the server in her New York home in 2009.

As the FBI looks to wrap up its investigation in the coming months, agents will likely want to interview Clinton and her senior aides about the decision to use a private server, how it was set up, and whether any of the participants knew they were sending classified information in emails, current and former officials said.

Allegedly-smart money has been on Castro for a while - younger, diverser, more charismatic.

Not sure whether his last name will be a drag on the ticket or a hilarious tweaking of Cold War-era kneejerk anti-communists (who are, one presumes, either dead or Republican - or both - by now).

It's time for Senator Joe Hitler (D) to finally get his shot.

hillary clinton / ha ha clinton-dix

also this thread got off of bad elevator puns a few floors too early

You're just trying to push our buttons.

from what i understand the emails weren't classified top secret until after they were sent so i honestly do not get what part of this scandal is actually "real," and i suspect that the answer is "none of it."

Richard M. Nixon ‏@dick_nixon
Why in the name of God am I watching Romney now?

The mob has pitchforks and scythes and this son of a bitch says "innovation dynamic."

mitt smacks his lips a lot

i was on a walk through the skyway and i had headphones on but i swear the crawl on CNN on a TV i walked by in the lobby said "Trump: I Ruined My Carpet Endorsing Romney"

???

i saw that too but i don't remember what it refers to. i do remember trump said that romney wanted his endorsement so bad that he could've told romney to get on his knees and he would've done it

don't look at the carpet trump drew something awful on it

lol

He's not a wonderful person, and he's got problems.
