QOTD: "The world of 2016 is eerily beginning to resemble the powder keg of 1939 Europe.

Iran, China and North Korea, along with radical Islamic terrorist groups, all have particular contempt for Western democracies. Almost daily, various aggressive nations or organizations seek provocation by shooting off intercontinental missiles, boarding American boats, sending millions of young male Middle Easterners into the West, and issuing unending threats. China is creating new artificial islands to control commercial routes to and from Asia.

The European Union is largely unarmed. Yet it still trusts that it can use its vaunted “smart diplomacy” to reason with its enemies.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin’s Russia cuts deals with Iran, Syria and most of the enemies of the West. Like Stalin before, Putin cynically assumes that his triangulations will turn aggressive powers exclusively against the West. Recently, he warned the West of a “new world war” starting in the Middle East.

[And] America is slowly withdrawing from involvement abroad, using the same isolationist arguments heard in the 1920s." --Victor Davis Hanson

Of course it's your site Doug but it's getting tiresome. I never expect a RealClear Politics experience coming here, how much EJ Dionne can one take but I would prefer a more even handed treatment of the candidates. But again, I ain't paying the bills...

9 Trump bashing links and just in case there are any Rubio supporters lurking
3 Rubio bashing links

and
1 CTH

I can understand someone supporting a candidate but constantly bashing Trump with ridiculous polls, lies of omission, videos from ancient times and other Cruzbot tactics are painting yourself into a corner. Why not link top some positive accomplishments of Cruz? I mean other then the fact you'd have nothing after Day 1 and Day 1 would be a skimpy affair to begin with...

Trump OTOH could keep you busy for weeks linking the things he's accomplished in his life-try Art of the Deal sometime. This is the guy I want. Do a comparison sometime of Trump and Cruz answering questions. If you loved the ramblings of Obama, Cruz is a natural. I happen to like directness. That's the trait of an Alpha Male. Being coy is for women.

Trump is a conservative-he's got some views I'm not done with but he's a can do man, has been all his life.

Any questions?

So the fbi is not asking Apple for the backdoor, no, but they'll wait and Gibson Guitar you, and if that doesn't work they'll get you in the woods and make it look like your Apple did it.
