Exposing The Donald...

Rational Nation USA
Purveyor of Truth


The following excerpt of an article written by Brent Budowsky and published in The Hill is spot on in defining Donald Trump as well as the strategy his opponents should use to defeat him.

A “Trump the loser” branding strategy would weave undisputed facts into a compelling narrative that voters understand.

When Trump the loser created businesses that went bankrupt, he turned workers and investors who trusted him — as Caesar trusted Brutus — into victims who lost their jobs and money because they believed in him.

When Trump the loser makes money from sales of clothes made in low-wage China and complains that wages for Americans are too high, those deals helped make China great, not America. In his low-wage deals on foreign-made clothing, Trump was a friend to American workers the way Benedict Arnold was a friend to the original tea party patriots.

When repeated polls show Trump the loser being overwhelmingly defeated by Hillary Clinton and by Bernie Sanders, his contagious losing will turn GOP members of the House and Senate into losers for having to defend or support him. When he falsely claims numerous polls show him defeating Clinton in November, Trump the loser becomes Trump the liar.

When Vladimir Putin toys with Trump’s vanity by praising him, Trump the loser reciprocates by praising Putin effusively even when he is asked about rumors that the Russian strongman has ordered the murder of journalists.

When Trump tells The Washington Post the day before a terror attack in Brussels that NATO is not as good a concept as it used to be, and that he is afraid of starting World War III by opposing Russian aggression in Ukraine and Chinese aggression in the South China Sea, Trump the loser would make Putin and Chinese aggressors the winners. No wonder more than 100 Republican national security leaders warned that Trump is unfit to be commander in chief.

While Trump the loser spent more than 20 years praising Clinton — as recently as 2012, when she was finishing her tenure as secretary of State, which he then praised with admiration — he now claims he did so because he was an influence-peddling businessman currying favor with her.

When Trump the loser keep his tax returns secret, is this the public relations equivalent of a witness taking the Fifth Amendment on grounds of self-incrimination? Perhaps the self-proclaimed great dealmaker doesn’t want voters to learn some details about the deals he brags about so often.

Elizabeth Warren is right. Trump is a loser.

Truth is Trump's enemy and those who seek and speak truth should be taking every possible step to expose Trump for the con artist he really is.

    Trump's done his damage. Now we have Cruz, the real threat.

      The National Enquirer. A tabloid rag. Every once in awhile they get something right. I'm fine wating this one out to see if there is any credibility at all in the story.

      Who knows, might be a Drumpf orchestrated attack. Wouldn't put it past the POS.

      If it takes down Cruz, then I applaud Trump if he did it. Cruz is far more dangerous to our republic than Trump could ever be.

      Applauding a fabrication, regardless of the outcome, makes those who do so no better than the one fabricating the lie.

      Sorry Jersey, I have principles and cannot agree with you on this.

      Lawyer for the DC madam wants to release client list. He says there is info there that the voters need to know. Don't forget the Enquirer was right about John Edwards. Cruz is likely a cheater and maybe on that list, I think.

    Each day brings a few more nails in the Trump coffin. What his followers do not understand is that the party has no desire to 100% implode, so they will dispatch with the Donald at the convention.

    Movement is already underway to move his delegates, legal under party rules, to other candidates.

    And as it becomes apparent that he will not get more than about 30% of the women's vote, a Trump nomination will kill down ticket candidates.

    Either way, with or without Trump, the GOP is in a world of hurt.

    "Speaker Ryan, Speaker Ryan... can you help us?" will soon be the clarion call of the GOP, but it won't matter. The Trumpistas hate him too!

    They've created a mess, now they cam wallow in it. Sadly...

    Very astute observations Dave. You are correct, the GOP/TeaPublicans have brought this mess down upon themselves. Unfortunately having done so they effectively put the proverbial gun to their own collective head. It remains to be seen whether or not the shot when fired will be fatal.

    RN... if you take a look at the NY Times interview with Trump, it is stunning to see his lack of understanding at all about foreign policy.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say I think a great majority of people supporting him think Pres Obama has been a beginner in the Oval Office. So if that's true, I wonder why they are considering putting someone else with even less understanding of foreign policy experience.

    It is incredible how blinded people can be by their anger...

    My theory Dave is that the issue of lack of experience in not at all important if the candidates views basically mimic your own.

    Since the TeaPublicans, extreme conservatives, neo cons, and Evangelicals are primarily driven by uncertainly, anger, fear, and a feeling they are losing their country, they are ripe for a demagogue like Drumpf who promises to alleviate all their insecurities and fears.

    Blinded by anger, fear, or uncertainty is certainly no path the Making America Great Again. But those who are duped will never recognize he danger they are toying with.

    Has credible evidence been found Cruz has engaged in such activities Dervish? If so please provide a link to the credible evidence.

    In my never humble opinion the National Esquire is credible a source in and of itself.

Moonbats, Reporters, and MSNBC

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism One has to wonder, I mean really really wonder about the Moonbats that heavily populate the democratic party, and the progressive movement. Author and reporter David Cay Johnston has just taken Moonbattery to new heights. I mean really new heights! During an MSNBC segment with Ed Schultz {one of the moonbats} discussing Rep. Paul Ryan's Path to Prosperity deficit reduction proposal he questioned Ryan's legitimacy because he is an advocate of Rand's views. He pointed to Rand's bestseller The Fountainhead , a story about a fiercely individualistic young struggling architect  as as a reason to question Rep. Ryan's legitimacy. Of course by condensing the entire plot to a singular event in the book, without giving proper lead in and explanation, Mr. Johnston was attempting to question not only Ryan's legitimacy, but his motive and integrity as well.

Obama on the Campaign Trail...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -v s- Tyranny For a President that has talked about unifying in the past it certainly seems this segment of the Presidents recent remarks focus more on divisiveness than unity. I guess politics are, after all just politics. It is more about building a base, telling people what you think they want to hear, and getting reelected than it is about telling the truth. Unfortunately this can be said about both party's. The President: "The Republican plan comes down to this, ‘Dirtier air, dirtier water, less people with health insurance.” h/t: Real Clear Politics "My plan says we’re going to put teachers back in the classrooms, construction workers back to work," President Obama said at a campaign event today. "Tax cuts for small businesses, tax cuts for hiring veterans, tax cuts if you give your workers a raise –- that’s my plan." "The Republicans plan, Obama says, boils down to this: 'Dirtier a

A Liberals View of OWS... From the New Republic

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -v s- Tyranny OWS, the movement lacking leadership as well as defined objectives having a reasonable chance of success. The longer it grinds on the more it look like a bunch of misfit radicals looking for the free ride. However, on the other hand there are certainly those who have a clear vision as to what and why Wall Street needs to change. The reasonable people supporting OWS are doing so to end crony capitalism, corporatism, the unethical practices of banking executives and mortgage lenders, as well as government bailouts of businesses. They also recognize corporate lobbyist must become a extinct group. Given the majority of people would tend to agree with the above someone ought to be asking the question, why doesn't the reasonable Tea Party folks and the reasonable OWS folks come together and pool resources so to speak? Tea Party individuals want more fiscal discipline and restraint so as to bring balance to national fis

The Hearing On Muslim Extremists and Protecting Civil Rights

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservative House Republicans under the leadership of Representative Peter King (R-NY) held the first in what he anticipates to be a series of hearings examining the potential dangers of radical Islam and radicalized American Muslims. The hearings are a prudent and necessary activity given the realities of our modern world. In response to the hearings being held by the House of Representatives Senate Democrats are responding with meetings of their own following their return from a ten day vacation recess. The Senate meetings will focus on what is perceived to be a spoke in anti Muslim bigotry, and to examine Muslim's civil rights. The debate about exactly what constitutes Anti Muslim bigotry, as well as the debate on the impact radicalized Muslims residing in American have on our society and it's wellbeing is worth having. This nation must come to terms with how to handle radical Islam on our shores as we

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers.

Two Quotes to Consider

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism The following two quotes were e-mailed to me by a reader of Rational Nation USA. They were taken from a small southern publication called "Tidbits." I thought perhaps my readers might enjoy them. "We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one further." My take is that all those many billions of people through out history believed just as firmly in their gods as many do today. So who is right and who is wrong? It doesn't really make any difference to me.     Richard Dawkins, Evolutionary Biologist "A conservative is a man who believes that nothing should be done for the first time." Atributed to Alfred Wiggams As the RN USA reader commented,  "Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in between the true conservative and those in public office today who call themselves conservatives." They have a point! Enj

Finally... Recognizing the Futility... The Founding Fathers and Ayn Rand Had It Right

To the bigoted, altruistic, and irrational left I must at this point say, piss off, I am through with trying to reason, or give further consideration to your delusional destructive BS! Your constant class warfare, your constant justifying your hero Barrack Hussein Obama's policies, even when they mirror your hated past President George W. Bush is hypocritical and sickening.

South Dakota Bringing Abortion Front and Center

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism I am at a complete loss for words. A long time independent conservative, a strong advocate of limited government, an advocate of laissez faire capitalism, with libertarian leanings I can not even find the words to comment on the South Dakota House Bill 1171. It is such a bill as one might find existent in a extremist and repressive Islamic Theocracy. It is supported along a party line vote. Republicans are the supporter of this ill advised and dangerous bill. While I do not approve of  the language, "murdering abortion doctors will be legal", and I have not used this site as a source for information in the past, SD House Bill 1171 is so egregiously profane I found myself in general agreement with the following article. Generally staying away the abortion debate this report pushed me into the fray of it all so to speak. There are times when one simply believes they must register in, even if they
