I had seen references to it before but never read an entire article on it until tonight. 

 

Meanwhile, "Trump said that Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders should have stayed in the race and not thrown his support behind Clinton.

"He would’ve been a hero," Trump said. "But he made a deal with the devil. She’s the devil. He made a deal with the devil."

...

He did admit, however, to looking forward to meeting Clinton later this fall on the debate stage.

"I look so forward to the debate with Hillary, I look so forward."

 

If he's so looking forward to it, why does he keep trying to get out of it?

Trump reaffirms support for warmer relations with Putin

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/02/us/politics/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-russia.html

"He professed disbelief that political opponents have said he should swear off Mr. Putin. “He said nice things about me,” Mr. Trump said. “Why would I disavow it? Why?”

So I guess we should be friendly with Russia because he says nice things about Trump. This man's narcissism knows no bounds.

That has been known for years. Which is why it's so pathetic to see all Hillary supporters have this moral superiority against Trump supporters. The US have, along with their pals in the UK, France, Turkey, Qatar and wahhabi Saudi Arabia, armed, trained and funded islamic terror groups in Libya and Syria.
Obama and Hillary are no better than Bush. They are responsible for so much death and destruction in MENA, and all the negative effects it's having on Europe, yet Trump is the bad guy because of his language.

When someone says we should support Russia because Putin is nice to them personally, it's not just about language. Hillary's war votes and the claims that she's a warmonger have followed her for years and still do, moreso than Trump, who is seen by many as some type of anti-war crusader for some inexplicable reason.

Who's naive enough to believe that good relations with Russia can be achieved as long as Putin is at the helm? The man double-crossed his own mentor who made it possible for Putin, an unremarkable KGB agent to rise through the ranks of the Russian government!  There is no loyalty there.

 Same people who think Neville Chamberlain was a great Prime Minister.

I think there are some who erroneously believe that Reagan and Gorbachev were buddy buddy, failing to see the only reason that relations were able to "stabilize" to an extent was because the Soviet Union was cracking under many years of communism and suppression and the United States were coming from a position of strength.

    • Add me to the group of people who think that Brandon has improved. He has. There's no doubt about it. Especially compared to the beginning. And he's improving in a way that... it makes me think that he realizes what the issues are and is addressing them. Of course, he's no master of acting at this point... but I don't cringe as much as I did. And I've seen people in Bold... I won't even have to name names, because everyone knows who they are... who are becoming even worse than what they were offering in the first place. So... I'm happy that in BTG... people are actually blossoming and improving. It surely means that the atmosphere is creative and nurturing talent.  BUT and it's a big butt... his relationship with his husband is still so lacking and ghastly. I am craving to see more action from these guys. I want to see Smitty's character. If he has any. 
    • Thank you. You guys come to the rescue again. I'll take a look later.   Thank you for the info!!! Now I find myself less confused. You and @DRW50 are amazing.
    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
