What planet are you posting from? Is it nice there?
Trump's one and only media skill is getting his blather broadcast over the airwaves. And he achieved that by being reliable, as he just proved beyond a shadow of a doubt by breaking every campaign promise he ever made except the one about breaking the bank to make the MIC richer.
No, Rand Paul does not need this "Trump skill". Rand Paul would not be Rand Paul if he had this "Trump skill". He would then be just another establishment-planted cuck like Trump.
There are plenty of those. We don't need more.
Kicking the media in the balls isn't exactly easy if they never get within twenty yards of you, on the orders of their corporate masters. If I kick the media in the balls in the woods where no one can hear, and there is no film at eleven, do they howl in pain?
Do they wince as they drop me on the cutting room floor, or just laugh? Does it have any impact at all on Joe Sixpack either way?
Only reliable tools get the chance to handle the media. The "Trump skill" of which you speak is called Selling Out.

Rand is essentially Ron with better media skills
“I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul
a little better, but not impressive
Hey, acptulsa! Welcome back! I didn't know you were banned; thought you were just taking a break.
Good back and study the replies here about Trump during the primary. Trump is going to implode. Trump that. Trump this.
And nothing has changed those assertions.

Partisan politics, misleading or emotional bill titles, and 4D chess theories are manifestations of the same lie—that the text of the Constitution, the text of legislation, and plain facts do not matter; what matters is what you want to believe. From this comes hypocrisy. And where hypocrisy thrives, virtue recedes. Without virtue, liberty dies. - Justin Amash, March 2018
Actually, that's not true. He stopped the Trans Pacific Partnership on his first day in office.
Not happy at all with him right now. Who knows; it's still early. He may do something else he promised. lol
Learning how to work the media is a valuable skill for someone in politics. It's a tool in their toolkit. Just like knowing Robert's Rules of Order. The more Rand knows how to do this, the more successful he will be IF he runs again. Because if he does, the media will do their best to destroy him. Should be no newsflash there.No, Rand Paul does not need this "Trump skill". Rand Paul would not be Rand Paul if he had this "Trump skill". He would then be just another establishment-planted cuck like Trump.

Hhmmm. Did you notice what I bolded in what I quoted? That was what my remark was aimed at. Go try again now.

Yes I did. It's as if you bolded it for me to use. Anybody who continues to support trump is a Globalist NWO supporter. NATO is globalism itself.Hhmmm. Did you notice what I bolded in what I quoted? That was what my remark was aimed at. Go try again now.

My God you've lost your way LE! Do you realize that Ron Paul criticized Trump during the campaign? Do you think he is a "cuck" or "NWO puppet" or "Hillary supporter/voter?" Great Trump stopped the TPP. Great he put the kibash on the climate change protocols. It's an ill will that doesn't blow somebody some good. Obama got us out of Iraq sooner than Trump would have. (Trump joined in with the GOP jackasses who said we got out of Iraq too soon.) Obama didn't "bomb bomb bomb Iran" like McCain wanted to. Ron Paul called the Obama nuke deal and the opening of relations with Cuba "two most important achievements of an otherwise pretty dismal Obama presidency." So just because you can find a couple of things to like about theHhmmm. Did you notice what I bolded in what I quoted? That was what my remark was aimed at. Go try again now.Obamathird term of the Obama presidency doesn't mean that those who criticized Trump during the general election "Cucks, Hillary Supporters, NWO puppets" or whatever. In fact your boy Trump got money from George Soros. That, by definition, makes him a NWO puppet.

On the bright side, her avatar is finally appropriate again, only now she ironically fills the John McCain role.
Ouch!
That is a true statement. As bad or disappointing as Trump will likely be, this reailty will not cleanse the subjectivity of the haters. I think Jmdrake and one other stated that Trump would win, despite them being opposed to his dubious candidacy. Other people couldn't separate the hate from the political analysis.

that seems fair
The election is over. Time to focus on issues, and return to a more normal and civil environment. Thanks.
Guidelines:

Community Values
As a community:
We value independent thought, critical thinking and logical arguments that provide unique insight.
We value a plethora of viewpoints. All are welcomed except those based on negativity in collectivist mindsets that view humans as members of groups rather than as individuals. Sexism, racism and anti-semitism are the antithesis of our values.
We value the sharing of news and information relevant to our Mission.
We value the development of wisdom though a high level of community discourse.
We value a focus on debating issues while being civil, on-topic and avoiding personal commentary on other members.
We value an understanding that name-calling of any person or group proves nothing and has no worthy intellectual foundation.
We value efforts and attitudes that build fellowship and an effective community. We encourage the personal development, success and individual enrichment of our members, as well as the welcoming of new members.
We value efforts to achieve success within our Mission.
Community Guidelines
In order to effectively achieve our Mission the site's Community Guidelines must be followed, which apply to forum posts, reputation comments, blogs, private messages and all other forms of site content.

Respect others' copyrights, intellectual property and contracts, per legal standards. Limit fair-use posting of copyright material to the lesser of four paragraphs or a quarter of the writing.
Posts should not promote negativity in collectivist mindsets that view humans as members of groups rather than individuals. Such forms of collectivism include sexism, racism and anti-semitism; they will not be tolerated here.
No insulting, antagonizing or personally attacking other users.
Do note disrupt Mission-supporting activism efforts.
The Community Guidelines are as follows:
1) Be ethical.
Be honest and truthful.
Operate within morally sound laws. Promoting violence, theft or other illegal activities will not be tolerated.
Respect others' copyrights, intellectual property and contracts, per legal standards. Limit fair-use posting of copyright material to the lesser of four paragraphs or a quarter of the writing.

Be respectful of others' religion or lack thereof.
No posting of anyone's personal contact information or members' personal details.
See the "Being Respectful" section below for more details.
...
Being Respectful
Maintaining a proper decorum is essential for any group, and is critically important for online political forums. Being respectful of others is an important part of that and required by the Community Guidelines. Here are some examples of being respectful vs. not:
"You're an idiot for thinking that." -- not respectful since the statement is based on an insult.
"Your delusional thinking" -- not respectful since your statement is based on an insult.
"Here are the problems with your line of thinking..." -- respectful, you don't have to agree and can present logical counter-arguments.
"Troll" -- calling other members a troll is not respectful and implies you know the intent of the member.
Religious context: See this special instructional thread.
...
Dealing with Conflict and Guideline Violations
If you see a problem with a specific post violating the guidelines you can report it to the site staff with the use of the report option grouped with that post.
If you see another member's behavior driving down the level of site discourse, not contained to a single message, you can report it to the site staff.
If you take issue with another member:
Do:
Debate the issues. Attack bad ideas and questionable information.
If a user keeps rehashing the same debate, call for a "Site Issue Evaluation" debate thread on the issues in accordance with our "Site Issue Evaluations - Managing Contentious Issues" policy. Message the staff for details if needed.
Put the user on your ignore list.
Don't:
Do not call other members names such as idiot, troll, liberal (unless self-labeled) or other names.
Do not antagonize other members by calling them out in thread titles.
Do not hunt down random posts by a user to apply negative reputation points.
Do not use PMs or rep messages as a backhanded way to break the guidelines.
Do not attempt to rally a negative campaign against the member.
Do not accuse others of violating the guidelines.
Do not retaliate if attacked; refocus the discussion to the topic, call for the discussion to be kept civil or do not respond.

Dr Paul reached me many years ago with his "Texas Straight Talk" articles.
I don't know if Rand would of been as effective moving me away from bad ideas as Ron was.
Ron is good for 20 minute sitdown interviews, Rand is better at doing the 8-minute TV hits with the cable networks where they are constantly trying to get him to react on the trivial stuff of the day. Ron used to get frustrated with them during the 2012 campaign.

Right but you conclusion of point number 3 is off base. People are going to notice.
As for the renewal of antipathy, most Trump supporters agree what is happening is bad. However those paid shills continue to use emotions, fake arguments, FUD. All the arsenal of a trained FUDer. The same paid for shills that FUDDED the Coffee McDonald case with the old lady eventually getting big bucks. But the FUD kepting pouring. Because it is their job. As LibertyEagle said.. we are not happy. There is a logical reason for what is happening. As Mr Medvedev said.. the deep state eventually got Trump compromised. And anyways Trump never was elected as a Libertarian. I knew Trump was moderate in his soul. He is a former democrat.
All of the Joe-Sixpack Trump voters that I know IRL support the expanded wars. As far as the media, they think that Trump has tamed the media and the media is finally coming around.

Appears he has been totally castrated and housebroken by the deep state and neocons.
His mistake was allowing any of the neocon warmongers into his administration at all, which began with his choice of Pence for VP, and then not immediately cleaning house when he got there.
"Let it not be said that we did nothing." - Dr. Ron Paul. "Stand up for what you believe in, even if you are standing alone." - Sophie Magdalena Scholl

WRONG! [Channel Alec Baldwin] Trump's Lies are the best! The best words and the best lies! That, I can tell you.
Brawndo's got what plants crave. Its got electrolytes.
H. L. Mencken said it best:
“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
Mr. Medved ? As in Michael Medved? Oh, are you a regular listener of his?
"The Patriarch"
His lies sucked. He even try to hint people with the Snake song:
Russian's prime minister.
