WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)?By easing tensions with Cuba and now Iran, President Obama is ?recklessly squandering America?s precious supply of enemies,? the leader of a conservative think tank said on Tuesday.
?Our adversarial relationships with Cuba and Iran took years of frostiness and saber-rattling to maintain,? Harland Dorrinson, the executive director of the Washington-based Institute for Infinite Conflict, said. ?Thanks to the President, decades of well-crafted hostility have been thrown out the window.?
According to Dorrinson, fears abound in conservative circles that the President might be ?capriciously casting about for other powder kegs to defuse? during his remaining time in office.
?If his shameful record is any guide, he?ll probably try to disarm North Korea,? Dorrinson said. ?That?s the doomsday scenario.?
Regardless of his future actions, Obama?s detente with Cuba and Iran will likely tarnish his legacy forever, Dorrinson said. ?On this President?s watch, America lost two of its most enduring foes,? he said. ?He?s going to have to live with that for the rest of his life.?

Today Donald Trump criticized Arizona Senator John McCain?s heroism during the Vietnam War. ?He was a war hero because he was captured,? Trump said at today?s Family Leadership Summit, in Ames, Iowa. ?I like people who weren?t captured.?

Trump is rising in the polls because he says outrageous things like this, which cause other Republicans to lash out at him (several GOP candidates have already criticized him for today?s McCain remark), making Trump seem even more of a rebel and outsider. It?s the strategy of a demagogue.

Should the media be reporting Trump?s bizarre antics at all?

Democrats love this guy (Trump).

He is establishing the Republican's brand for them in a bad way (from a PR point of view).

Trump is nothing but a big mouth arrogant prick,and anyone who would vote for him is either the same,or an ass kissing want to be.

Far too many folks in this country have a Jerry Springer mentality.  If he doesn't drop out, I think you might be surprised how many votes he gets.  I was certainly taken back by the number of folks that voted for Romney after he basically said the retired and hard working people of this country were just second rate citizens in his book. 

It would certainly be nice if the republicans would field a viable candidate this time around.....

Nice read Jon.  Yes, perhaps the republican party is so full of itself that it will never right the ship.....

Yes, they are, as evident by mass race for the nomination.....no cohesiveness at all.....just a 'clown car' full of egos....sad.....we really do need better choices than are being presented...by both parties.

Lots of folks are with Bernie, but while he has good ideas, and a proven public record being for the middle class....he is not Presidential material IMHO...he'll get eaten alive in that position. He and Warren are much better off in supportive roles. That is where they work the best.
