Also, you'll pry my cheesy gordita crunch from my cold dead hands!!!

ABC reporting that Manafort has reached a plea deal with Mueller. Unclear if he's just pleading guilty to all charges in the 2nd trial or if he's fully cooperating.

If you are doing a national poll you are going to get a national chain and TB has the fast food Mexican nearly all to itself

Yep. Everyone has a taco bell in their area. There is some great Mexican food in my town but they are nowhere else.

Lou Dobbs is an old, rapidly decaying, hate-filled piece of shit and a Birther before even Trump hopped on board that train. That is all!

EDIT" Oh and I applaud him for trying to discourage Trump voters from supporting any Republican who dares criticize or contradict Trump on ANY issue. TOnight he bashed both Ron DeSantis and Rick Scott for their despicable disloyalty to Dear Leader. They don';t support muh President, muh Flerda Republicans! Don't vote fer dem! Stay home!

They haven't had to live with a generation of backstabbers and phonies who undermine the agenda.

Demonstrably false. Look -- some people go to Washington to buy in, and some eventually sell out, and then you have a very small handful of pure people. Everybody who believes in anything has been undermined, unless you believe in abusing power to pool capital in the smallest and most exclusive pools.

Regardless, it all comes down to the fact that an entire generation of Republican leadership did not align with their electorate ideologically and they did not do what they had a mandate to do. The why isn't important.

I could not agree less. The "why" is the most important thing. It's money. You are being sold out for money. If you don't know what the problem is, you can't fix it.

Would you care to give some examples of these "pure people". Are you the one who does this judging?

Sounds a lot like the Catholic Church and the Pope to me. Certainly Catholics believe he is superior to mere mortals, but it seems to me Francis is a classic socialist trying to explain that if you put the right persons in charge you will have heaven on earth. Trouble is, there is no such person, and there never has been, which is the underlying problem with socialism, hack. Acton's formulation, "Power tends to corrupt. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.", is universally true, and the best way to handle the problem is to disburse power. That is why progs hate those of us who believe that protecting individual rights is the true goal of government. If each person is a power center unto himself, the ability of the progs to control others diminishes.

Whoever said that TB is prevalent in rural areas has it just backward, at least in the area in which I live, which is about 50% Hispanic. TB is reviled, and there are several Mom and Pop restaurants that put out incredible Mexican food. The people who hate TB the most are the Mexicans!

So you actually think that it's in the very liberal, prog,urban areas where Taco Bell is getting all those votes?

There's a litany of articles written by conservative authors about how it's elitist to poo-poo McDonald's, Applebee's, Long John Silver's, and other low-end chains because that's where "real America", the hard-working steelworkers and corn-strokers of the Midwest prefer to dine. I guess Taco Bell isn't in that group; it's the preferreed dining experience of the "Elite" who love them some 79 cent tacos made with genuine meat-based product.

Geezer doesn't know shit about Catholics but he is an expert on being an asshole.

Well, if only self-hating, elitist, sauce for the goose ain't sauce for me #GentryProg white folks lived in urban areas then you'd have a pretty solid claim. Those pretentious fucks are surely eating at the local non-GMO, purely organic Oaxaca specialty cantina. But urban folks also include AA and poor white folks. It may be impossible to find a Taco Bell on the Upper West Side, but swing a dead cat in Cleveland or Columbus or most other urban areas in the US.

Where I grew up -- out in rural Ohio, well, Youngstown exurb, it was quite the hike to the only Taco Bell even remotely close to our community.

But, yes, Lou Dobbs loves cheesy gorditas. Who doesn't?

[froot loops]

Actually that's not true in Downtown Detroit and it was a problem, no Taco Bells! All kinds of new restaurants and hipster joints but no Taco Bell. Not even at the RenCen food court, it was a problem and a running joke in the office.
