As one of the FiveThirtyEight guys said to highlight the point, "Primary polls at this point have been +/- as much as 30 percent. So I predict Trump to get between 8 and 68% of the vote."No, Politifact said Isis was not actively using Trump as propaganda.
Islamophobia still being something that hurts us and helps the enemy is something fairly obvious. There's a ton of Muslims who hate Isis, and we can potentially use them, but why should they work with someone who says they hate them in return?
Since Obama and the liberal rhetoric has always been Isis is not Islam or does it represent Islam, how can you even justify this statement..
How would they convert the "moderate muslims" the ones who supposedly are peaceful?

Let's Elect Hillary Now- A frustrated Conservative annoyed with his party and how it feels like they'd rather be angry at a Democratic President than to put aside their purity tests and elect a Republican one.
"We want a president we can loathe all of the time, not support some of the time."
If you don't have a Wall Street Journal subscription, here's the first part
We want a president we can loathe all of the time, not support some of the time.Dear fellow conservatives:
Let us now pledge to elect Hillary Clinton as the 45th president of the United States.
Let's skip the petty dramas of primaries and caucuses, the debate histrionics, the sour spectacle of the convention in Cleveland. Let's fast-forward past that sinking October feeling when we belatedly realize we're going to lose and lose badly.
Let's move straight to that first Tuesday in November, when we grimly pull the lever for the candidate who has passed all the Conservative Purity Tests, meaning we've upheld the honor of our politically hopeless cause. Let's stop pretending we want to be governed by someone we agree with much of the time, when we can have the easy and total satisfaction of a president we can loathe and revile all the time.
Let's do this because it's what we want. Maybe secretly, maybe unconsciously, but desperately. We want four- and probably eight- more years of cable-news neuralgia. We want to drive ourselves to work as Mark Levin or Laura Ingraham scratch our ideological itches until they bleed a little. We want the refiner's fire that is our righteous indignation at a country we claim no longer to recognize ruled by impostors and overrun by foreigners.
We also want to turn the Republican Party into a gated community. So much nicer that way. If the lesson of Mitt Romney's predictable loss in 2012 was that it's bad politics to tell America's fastest-growing ethnic group that some of their relatives should self-deport, or to castigate 47% of the country as a bunch of moochers, well, so what? Abraham Lincoln once said, 'If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.' What. Ever.
There's more in the WSJ one, but you get the idea- He talks about how so much of the party is cast as Rinos, how there's so little attempt to appeal to those on the edge of the party rather than the most pure, etc..
Here's I think the best quote from the rest:
Of course we'll tell ourselves that the polls don't matter, that a congenital liar like Mrs. Clinton can't possibly win, that all we have to do is turn out the hidden Republican base that supposedly didn't show up to the polls for Mitt Romney.
That's really familiar to those on this thread 🙂
Note this is a conservative in a paper owned by Rupert Murdock, the conservative behind Fox. The writer is Pulitzer Prize winning conservative writer Bret Stephens.

Sounds like it.
"Let's stop pretending we want to be governed by someone we agree with much of the time, when we can have the easy and total satisfaction of a president we can loathe and revile all the time."
Hilarious stuff. Last seven years supports that.
Ted Cruz blasts Washington Post after the left-wing rag showed cartoon of his daughters as monkeys:
This just goes to show how low the biased liberal media will go to attack Republican candidates. Can you imagine the backlash if a conservative source showed a cartoon of Obama's daughters as monkeys? To quote TI: "If it wasn't for double standards, libs wouldn't have any standards".
