The attacks against Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump have done little to stem the increasing flow of support for his campaign. Most of the attacks have stemmed from the mainstream media and the establishment Republicans, but now the Communist Party is taking a swing.
The Communist Party USA News, People’s World, took a trip to San Francisco State University to find individuals who aren’t exactly fans of Donald Trump. Needless to say that while the Communists were successful, their results are best described as cringe worthy. The Commies attempted to slam Mr. Trump by asking the students what they thought about the candidate’s immigration policy. But instead of creating a politically damaging video reflecting the intelligence of the Progressive Youth, the production instead leaves the viewer with the distinct impression that the interviewees aren’t exactly playing with a full deck.
The video begins with a rather homely young lady stating that Donald Trump will “pass laws” to deport Hispanics who haven’t resided in the U.S. for at least 5 generations, and that his idea of building a wall is “strange”. The video then continues with yet another Progressive brain trust staring blankly into the camera lens asking, “Who is going to build the wall?” The thankfully short production then concludes with another Progressive youth claiming that it’s “wrong” to deport those who have lived in this country longer than “Donald Trump and his whole family” and sums up her beliefs by saying that it’s scary to think there are people who would actually vote for Trump.
The Communist’s attempt at attacking Donald Trump is, without a doubt, a huge fail. Especially since it has left me wondering if the video wasn’t really just a poorly made skit from Saturday Night Live, or a Public Service Announcement encouraging kids to “Just Say No”…to Progressivism.

The communist have everyone up in arms.

No one is trying to take away anyone’s right to vote. This is a fake issue, made up by progressive activists and perpetuated by Democrat politicians and liberals in media.
The clip below is from a Democratic forum on MSNBC Friday night which was hosted by Rachel Maddow.
Here’s a partial transcript via the liberal blog Talking Points Memo:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) called Republicans “political cowards” for their efforts to restrict voting rights and suggested a constitutional amendment might be necessary to protect the franchise.
“Maybe this is personal because I run for office. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win,” Sanders said, when Rachel Maddow brought the topic up at Friday’s MSNBC Democratic 2016 Forum.”It has never occurred to me as a candidate to figure out a way to deny the vote to people because they might vote against me. People who do that are political cowards. They’re afraid of a fair election.”
He said the push for voting restrictions was a “a real crisis in this country” and said legislation or “maybe a constitutional amendment” was needed to guarentee that everyone 18 years of age is registered to vote.
What is he talking about? We already have a system which guarantees that everyone 18 years of age is eligible to vote.
Watch the video:
I like Ted! :-)

Having surged to the lead (according to some polls) in the GOP presidential nominee race, Ben Carson may have a problem. As Politico reports, Carson's campaign on Friday admitted that a central point in his inspirational personal story (his application and acceptance into the U.S. Military Academy at West Point) was fabricated. The details are stunning as the big lie (something Hillary would be proud of) has been maintained for years, but his PR people are spinning like crazy...
The U.S. Military Academy at West Point has occupied a central place in Carson’s tale for years. According to a story told in Carson’s book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by a “full scholarship” to the military academy.
But, as Politico details, West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission.
“In 1969, those who would have completed the entire process would have received their acceptance letters from the Army Adjutant General,” said Theresa Brinkerhoff, a spokeswoman for the academy. She said West Point has no records that indicate Carson even began the application process. “If he chose to pursue (the application process) then we would have records indicating such,” she said.
When presented with this evidence, Carson’s campaign conceded the story was false.
“Dr. Carson was the top ROTC student in the City of Detroit,” campaign manager Barry Bennett wrote in an email to POLITICO. “In that role he was invited to meet General Westmoreland. He believes it was at a banquet. He can’t remember with specificity their brief conversation but it centered around Dr. Carson’s performance as ROTC City Executive Officer.”
“He was introduced to folks from West Point by his ROTC Supervisors,” Bennett went on. “They told him they could help him get an appointment based on his grades and performance in ROTC. He considered it but in the end did not seek admission.”
This admission comes as serious questions about other points of fact in Carson’s personal narrative are questioned, including the seminal episode in which he claimed to have attempted to stab a close friend.
Similarly, details have emerged that cast doubt on the nature of Carson’s encounter with one of the most prominent military men of that era.

One wonders what happens to this chart next?
Of course being a blatant lying shitbag is not necessarily going to end his chances of election... just ask the people of East Chicago who just elected a new councilman who is in jail facing murder and drug charges...

I like Ben but I find that very disturbing. He is highly thought of in his profession, no need IMO to make things up.
“Your message to your followers and even the people who on the Republican establishment side who oppose you is that, like John Paul Jones, you have not yet begun to fight ?” Breitbart News Executive Chairmain Steve Bannon, a former naval officer, asked Carson on Sirius XM Radio’s Breitbart News Saturday.
“Barack Obama has elected more Republicans than any human being in the history of mankind,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) asserted on Fox News on Wednesday night. And despite the hyperbole built into that, he might be right.
Roll Calls predicts the unpopular Trans-Pacific Partnership will shape the 2016 elections.
The Bush name is the only reason that an uninspiring, petulant figure like Jeb! even has a chance at the presidency, but it’s also his greatest obstacle. The country is still smarting from the pointless wars and economic catastrophe that we brought on ourselves the last time we tossed some mediocrity into the White House just because he had that fancy Bush name. That puts Jeb Bush in a no-win situation. Denouncing your brother means turning your back on family. But endorsing W.’s infamously failed presidency isn’t a great idea, either.
Now Poppa Bush is going to step in and blame someone, anyone, not named “Bush” for the failures of the Bush presidency. In a handily timed biography of the senior Bush, written by Jon Meacham, George H.W. Bush lays out the case that his son was a hapless pawn of the true villains of his presidency: Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.
“I don’t know, he just became very hard-line and very different from the Dick Cheney I knew and worked with,” Bush reportedly told Meacham about his son’s vice president. “The reaction [to 9/11], what to do about the Middle East. Just iron-ass. His seeming knuckling under to the real hard-charging guys who want to fight about everything, use force to get our way in the Middle East.”
Bush also told Meacham that he was never a fan of Rumsfeld, who served as his son’s secretary of defense during 9/11. “I don’t like what he did, and I think it hurt the President.”
“I’ve never been that close to him anyway,” Bush explained. “There’s a lack of humility, a lack of seeing what the other guy thinks. He’s more kick ass and take names, take numbers. I think he paid a price for that. Rumsfeld was an arrogant fellow.”
On one hand, it’s fascinating watching the Bushes take a favorite liberal talking point from the Bush era — that George W. Bush is a half-wit manipulated by evil men — and try to turn it to an asset.
On the other hand, the implication is that we should just roll the dice again by going with his brother. Is the idea here that evil is genetic but imbecility is not? If so, Jeb! and his team might try to work a little harder on reducing the number of times he’s out in public looking stupid.
Being intellectually bested by Marco Rubio isn’t really reassuring the public that you’re not a nimrod like your brother.
“Jeb can fix it!” isn’t winning over anyone who thinks that they’d be up for another Bush in office, so long as he’s sporting a couple more IQ points.
Bush likes to brag that he eats nails because it sounds tough, but under the circumstances, he should worry that people will think the poor dear just doesn’t know that nails aren’t food.
Donald Rumsfeld, for one, is not having it, implying that H.W. is just some old man who doesn’t know what he’s talking about and saying that W. Bush “made his own decisions”.
Jeb Bush himself is trying to distance himself from this narrative, giving all credit to his father and arguing that W. is “a big boy” and that his “administration was shaped by his thinking.” It’s a smart move, trying to distance himself from his father’s narrative—makes it seem like his father’s take on it is totally independent, without any input from the campaign.
It may even be true, but either way, that this narrative was going to happen was inevitable. As noted, the brother issue is a sticky situation, and there are few good outs for the campaign. To make it worse, Jeb Bush has very few legitimate resources at his disposal. He’s not a gifted politician or a particularly smart man, so his father has to swoop in and rescue him.
Still, the whole gambit should open up a basket of questions. Even if Cheney and Rumsfeld are the true architects of evil here, that doesn’t really exonerate W. Bush. It not only calls into question W. Bush’s judgment, but that of his whole family. If they knew that W. Bush was so easily controlled by his underlings, why did they not discourage him from running? We all love our family, but letting incompetent family members run the entire country when you know they’re not capable of it shows bad judgment all around.
