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.

    • Yes!!! Mona feels  like one of my aunts, love the way she carries herself. Loved seeing Eva pop-up at the gambling place.  Monday was all around good soap. Can't remember the last time an entire episode held my interest.  Loving the fallout and reverberations from Ted and Shea-Butter Sheila's affair

      . As nice as it would've been to see Anita embrace Eva, I'm glad she didn't because we can squeeze a lot more years of conflict out of Eva, Leslie and the Duprees.   Lauren & Sheila, Viki & Dorian, Katherine & Jill all gave us good conflict for decades. Hopefully this follows suit. I understand the concern. Right now there's an issue of quality of black representation on shows more so than quantity of black shows. I'd like to see more predominantly black sci-fi, legal, political, supernatural or medical dramas over the typical who is sleeping with who. However, this is a soap, and this is what happens on soaps. White soap characters do these things all the time, but have the luxury of being seen as individuals, not representations of their entire race. Husbands/fathers like Todd Manning, Victor Newman and Asa Buchanan cheat, lie and swindle all the time but aren't seen as a commentary on white men. Black characters like Ted and New Dollar Bill should be able to do the same.
    • And that area of the DMV has a high-end glamorous casino the MGM National Harbor. 
    • Even under the new writers, Jamey episodes are the shortest and the weakest A lot of people were unnecessarily clowny and bitchy today. There was a lot of fluff and filler too. And the dialogue was a little… ehhh as well. But welcome back, Kevin! It’s been a long time lol his return still seems really random but I don’t mind it. Philip’s actions make sense to me based on everything that’s happened to him lately and it could possibly set up more tension between him and Xander/Alex. And I wouldn’t mind seeing him and Kevin team up. I thought the actor did a good job too. Too bad that they couldn’t get Robert Benvenisti back though. I didn’t realize it in 2001 but he was hot

      And, we got the word that Arianna wants to come home. I’m looking forward to that, and seeing her relationships with Gabi, Marlena, etc. on display and I hope that

      As for Rachel’s birthday party… was Days hinting at something that we’ve been speculating about since EJ was shot?

    • Portugal qualifying was the only shocker. I'm really happy for Iceland. IMO, the automatic finalists – Spain, Switzerland and Italy – had the best performances. I love the studio version of Azerbaijan, but on stage, it was a disaster.
