[Ariadna: Both Rubio and Cruz attacked Trump in last night’s debate for his stated position of being “neutral” in a putative negotiation between the Israelis and the Palestinians, accusing him of being “anti-Israel.”
• Trump refused to budge from his position, arguing that a successful negotiator needs to be seen as free of bias.
Trump: +10 Points for logic.
• Rubio and Cruz both claimed that “a deal is not a deal when negotiating with terrorists” and the next POTUS needs to be “firmly on the side of Israel.” Rubio and Cruz: -10 Points each for violating the very premise of the argument, i.e., negotiation.
• Despite his avowed neutrality, Trump wants it known by everyone that he is staunchly pro-Israel, as proven by the many tokens of recognition received from Israel. Trump: -10 Points for invalidating his own claim of neutrality.
• In effect, in this argument Trump has cleverly and stealthily redefined “negotiator” as “arbitrageur.” Trump: + 5 Points for glib semantic tricks.
Final point score: Trump: + 5. Rubio: -10; Cruz: -10.]

I wish it were not so but every politician in this country is a whore for israel or they are removed. It has been this way for quite somectime now. Even if it were the case that whoever was put into office as president was in fact “nuetral”, he/she would just be assasinated by some nutty lone gunman. Likely an arab, maybe even a palestinian. “By deception…………………. ……………….”
An accurate analysis.
If you or I where on the stage, Ariad I would of tirn into them. Trump is doing the best he can but I assure him his blending pro Israel bromides into his comments will merit him zero.
“Obama has NOT treated Israel terrible.” He knows that, and so do his advisors …but it plays well with the “base.”
The Tea Party held by Koch, and Evangelicals owned by Yahweh.
The Jews will not be satisfied by the Donald’s assurances.
Attention …they know Trump has read 911 Truth Books by Victor Thorn, and that author denies the official Holocaust story too!
This was revealed on Roger Stone’s website …Trump’s inside campaign manager.
Again …what is the alternative ….I admire Trump for going this far and for the enemies he has made.
It’s incredible, and the best we can do !
This is truly one of the most memorable election campaigns I have seen over my far too many years. Trump is playing the game well.
When out and about, any mention of Trump to my fellow Canadians evokes a sneer or shudder of revulsion. Canada is an Israeli satellite after all so they know little better and are, on the whole, too complacent to care about American politics, all still being so happy about little Justin T. not being Harper…..
I have never watched a tennis match before… yawn. But this “debate” was so amusing. The Donald really did stand head and shoulders above the little peons nipping in unison at his heels every time he spoke. They did indeed tag team him and … he still left them in the dust.
He has definitely revitalized American interest in politics.
As I say, he can do all he wants… but if Americans don’t vote, the Jews will still get who they want in. Options for presidential elections are always pretty nasty folks or they would not be where they are…. Trump at least does not have a filthy voting past in his background and his deals have not involved killing people in far off wars….
Sad to say that Trump is the most common sense of the lot. He is saying, in many cases, what he has to say to stay alive… but we know he is not necessarily sincere in his Israeli bottom-kissing and is playing the multiple levels of truth game that the Jews have mastered…. brilliantly.
Added bonus: he is not an empty suit waiting to be filled up the way Obama was when he was first introduced by Oprah so many years ago… I remember seeing that and thinking… “He is flat like a piece of paper from the side… waiting to be written on…. a proverbial empty suit.” Next thing you know I am pitying the poor deluded black folks thinking his election would improve their lives.
Personally, I figure, just knock the Republicans out of the way and let the Donald purchase the White House…. get the money wasting election over and move on.
