Jeb Bush would support Donald Trump if the real estate billionaire were to win the Republican presidential nomination, “because anybody is better than Hillary Clinton”.
The former Florida governor thinks that outcome unlikely, however, because the more voters hear of Trump, particularly on foreign policy, “the less likely he’s going to get the Republican nomination”.
They can’t win on their merits, so they just take every opportunity to chip away at the opposition:
LANSING, MI — Michigan voters would lose the ability to cast a straight-ticket ballot for candidates of a single political party under fast-tracked legislation approved Tuesday evening in the state Senate.
The Republican-backed bill advanced through committee earlier the same day before reaching the floor, where it was amended to include a $1 million appropriation that would make it immune to referendum.
Michigan voters overturned a similar law in 2002 after Democrats forced a ballot referendum via petition drive.
The new bill would provide funding to the Michigan Secretary of State to assess the impact of eliminating straight-ticket voting, assist in ongoing fraud prevention and “provide equipment to facilitate the integrity of the election process,” among other things.
Sen. Dave Robertson, R-Grand Blanc, called the appropriation “entirely legitimate,” but critics pointed out that most state spending decisions are made during the budget process, not within policy bills.
“Let’s not lie to each other, and let’s not lie to voters of this state. This appropriation is a $1 million insurance policy against the will of the people,” said Sen. Curtis Hertel Jr., D-Meridian Township.

Moussa Koussa. That is the name of the “classified source” in an old email from Hillary Clinton released last week by Republicans purportedly investigating the 2012 attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Under the instructions of the Benghazi committee’s chairman, Republican Representative Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, Koussa’s name was blacked-out on the publicly… Continue reading “Benghazi biopsy: A thorough guide to a fake scandal”

He “loves” the Bible, but doesn’t seem to remember which parts:
Donald Trump declined to name a favorite verse in the Bible on Bloomberg’s “With All Due Respect” on Wednesday. He also wouldn’t say which testament he preferred, saying he liked both equally. “The Bible means a lot to me, but I don’t want to get into specifics,” Trump said.
The response on Twitter:
