Donald Trump spreads the message that 'Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband'
Real estate mogul Donald Trump might want to check whatever reflex makes him compulsively retweet his supporters' #Trump2016 messages.

The potential presidential hopeful on Thursday shared a fan's tweet that read "If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?"

Trump deleted the tweet, but not before actor Lenny Jacobson got a screenshot of it:

People wonder why I don't want this guy in the election. He is going to say (or support/retweet) stupid shit like this throughout his campaign. The result will be he gets the attention he desperate craves and the GOP's credibility will be the one to suffer since Trump already lost his. Complete idiot.
 
Jeb Bush on 2016: 'It's Nobody's Turn'

After spending the past six months telling voters, "I am my own man," Jeb Bush on Monday seized the opportunity to prove it, launching his campaign for president here while branding himself as a big-hearted candidate with a multicultural family and a proven record of reforming government.

Inside a modest auditorium at Miami Dade College, Bush reminded Floridians why he left office with an approval rating north of 60 percent. The former governor, with the blessing of an hour-long introduction from friends and onetime colleagues, ticked off a laundry list of accomplishments, striking a sharp contrast with many of his fresher-faced but less-tested Republican rivals.

Jeb Bush's 'Lose the Primary to Win the General' Could Just Mean 'Lose the Primary'

In declaring his campaign for president, Jeb Bush opens a maverick White House bid that could reshape Republican politics for a generation and make him the third member of his family to occupy the Oval Office in three decades.

Or, his candidacy could crater after colliding with the party's most conservative elements and become a cautionary tale for future candidates

We Are All Donald Trump Now
Back in 2000, my grandmother returned from visiting my uncle in Chattanooga to the Coles County Airport of Mattoon, Illinois. She flew as cheaply as possible, which meant she took tiny US Airways shuttles from Chattanooga to West Lafayette, Indiana, to Mattoon. When I picked her up from the airport, I was able to drive right up to the runway and watch the plane land

Sheldon Adelson Beats 2016 Drum for Marco Rubio Through Free Israeli Newspaper
While billionaire Sheldon Adelson has yet to disclose his Republican presidential pick, the Israeli newspaper he publishes seems to have all but anointed Marco Rubio.

Many of the candidates have visited Israel this year to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, an Adelson favorite who has grown closer to the Republican leadership as he has tangled with President Barack Obama.

Rubio, though, received singular treatment by the newspaper, Israel Hayom, when he declared his candidacy in April for the 2016 nomination. The announcement merited a front-page headline, leading to an interview with the paper

Is their a Republican candidate who currently has a, I'm not even sure how to describe this... a widely accepted and approved of plan for immigration issues?

It seems like theirs not a stance to be taken for Republican candidates that doesn't go against the extreme positions of their parties fringe (who seem to be extremely important in getting the nomination), which I would think they can't side with and still hope to be able to use the issue to win the Presidency.

Rubio has been the closest with the Dream Act but so far, little has been completed on either side when it comes to legislation. Dems are perfectly fine with pointing to any condition in a bill like tighter border security, path to citizenship, back taxes, etc and scream racist instead of figuring out the bill. After 2016, they will need to compromise if there is a Democratic president.

Dems are using immigration as a campaign tool at this point. It may help them, it may not. All depends on who gets a grip on the narrative. In all reality, there isn't really a war between parties to get this done. Both sides want to pass it, they just want all the credit and to make the other party look bad when it happens.
 
Trump announcing today. This is going to be comedy gold. I'm actually rooting for him.
 
I will be interested to see if Trump gets much traction in the race.

He should've ran in 2012 if he really wanted to. To enter a serious race like this one does a disservice to the party he is supposedly trying to help.
 
I can't believe we're going to have to watch that buffoon on a debate stage with people who actually know things about politics. It's like if Hulk Hogan snuck into an MMA cage and everyone just shrugged and said "Yeah, let's go with it." Hopefully we get some good comedy out of it, and maybe even his secret plan to destroy ISIS.
