And he’s right.

Sure, the Bush/Cheney administration’s lies about WMDs are well documented. As are the lies about the costs. And the “weeks rather than months”, “no one is talking about occupying Iraq” lies about the duration. It’s well documented that Haliburton/KBR made $billions off the Iraq war, making former CEO and current stock-holder Cheney and his friends very wealthy indeed. Turning America into a torture state has long been well documented, as are Cheney and the rest of the administration lying about it.

So yes, OF COURSE Trump ‘sounds like a liberal Democrat’ for saying that Bush (and Cheney) lied about the Iraq war. But only in that he didn’t continue by calling for them to be twitching on the end of a rope.

Indeed.

I’m confused. Is Jeb trying to say “this is what’s great about America” or “this is everything that’s wrong about America?”

Also, can any gun enthusiasts confirm whether or not the safety is on? I thought that when the switch is in “down” position and the little red dot is showing that usually means “ready to fire.”

Apparently the gun is Belgian, anyway.

Either way it’s clearly some kind of call for help.

In a few days the news coverage is going to be full of teary-eyed people saying “all the signs were there but nobody was willing to step up and force him to get help.”

I’m sure this is tied into the Bush family assassination of Scalia, somehow.

So has anyone noticed that http://www.jebbush.com goes somewhere interesting now.
I wonder if Jeb really has his heart in the campaign.

It’s been doing that for months.

I don’t think his heart was ever in it.

Is this the last night we’ll have an opportunity to laugh at Jeb!?

(nah, we’ll always be able to laugh at him)

I think he and Carson will be done tonight.

ThinkProgress as well as a few other publications seem to think the whole point of Carson’s campaign is for the fundraisers to raise funds to fund themselves. They’re not spending it on his campaign. This would suggest that Carson’s campaign will go on as long as they’re still raising funds.
