"We will either find a way, or make one."
The Establishment will feel smug and confident and then they'll soil their undergarments when Hannibal actually turns up and starts battering them. [NB the Establishment will eventually triumph, but it might be badly treated in the meantime].
Mr. Eek, I'm not flabbergasted. Turkey being dodgy or the EU being incompetent and profligate is pretty much par for the course.
FPT2: Mr. Eagles, Corbyn is like an anti-matter version of Grand Admiral Thrawn, Tywin Lannister and Hannibal rolled into one.
Trump: UK may leave EU. They're having a lot of problems...
In the House of Commons today facing Cameron the Opposition Leader with an open goal didn't just miss the net he missed the ball...
Isn’t his Lordship a Cameroon lackey?
And some thought Ed Miliband was the best sleeper agent the Conservatives ever had.
Corbyn won't either.
Hilarious that less than 90 minutes after poo-pooing him at less than 50/1 IDS resigns and the next day Crabb takes his job, and everyone starts talking about him as a potential leader.
He probably followed it too literally.
Check my Saturday posts :-)
Remember I did a thread offering some fashion advice to Corbyn, he didn't listen and got into terrible trouble over it.

They already burned $150 million supporting Jeb, $65 million supporting Rubio and 50 million attacking Trump for zero results, and are thinking of pitching Rick Perry and Tom Coburn as successful 3rd party candidates.
He talks normal, communicates well and has an interesting backstory.
If he has a shave, impresses in his new post and dries out a bit on the EU and immigration he could go far.
In my view, that's what Corbyn's trying to do. He's just the first act, and his job is to make it hard for a more moderate Labour figure to become leader.
The only question is whether anyone could be brilliant enough to sell Corbynite policies to enough of the electorate to win a GE ...
If there are 5 million 'disabled' then most 'disabled' people are fraudsters.

Looking through that it's very clear why there are 12! million disabled in the UK.
2008 - Osborne's 'rabbit stuck in the headlights' response to recession allows Brown to remain Labour leader.
2012 - Osborne's 'omnishambles' Budget allows EdM to remain Labour leader.
2016 - Osborne's 'ultrashambles' Budget allows Corbyn to remain Labour leader.
Perhaps Osborne really is a 'master strategist'
They wont mind that Trump is multiple married but they wont like he's also multiple divorced.
I can only think of one party leader in modern times who was more inept than Corbyn - Iain Duncan Smith

Yes Mike, IDS was a poor leader for a major party, probably any party. However he has over the passing years, grown as a man. Something I doubt that Corbyn will ever do.
Where is your evidence that they aren't disabled or aren't sick?

It's not a Never Trump strategy Cruz needs to run in Utah. It's a Never Kasich one.
Arizona is firmly in Trump's hands.
Only tiny offshoots of the Church practice polygamy since over 100 years ago but I get you wanted the punchline.
Also, if you think young Mormon women aren't hot.... I pity you
By a Tory MP.
And frankly, I do think Corbyn is partly responsible for that -- he has moved the overall political debate to the left and has left the government with no margin for error if any of their own side speak out against government policies. That for me is preferable to Kendall/Umunna/Reeves etc. who would probably be posturing as "tough on welfare" and giving the Tories the political space to push on with cuts.
They went after Andrew Jackson's wife Rachel, like they are with Melania now, lack of class. Actually I think Trump is an even bigger iconoclast than Old Hickory was.
Hell, we're seeing that even in the States with Bernie Sanders now (ahead of the Republican contenders in most polling).

The SNP are agin the Tories, whatever.
For Labour it's more complicated. There is a large number of people - not a majority but a large number - who do want to take in more migrants who they see as refugees unfairly demonised by the right-wing press. They absolutely expect Labour to take that stand. But then there's the problem that Labour aspires to office so tries to win over floating voters with such things as the Controls on Immigration mug. Or rather Ed-Labour did. Clearly Jez-Labour won't.
And you need an individual's name to seal them
I'm not really convinced that Corbyn has helped the left cause though. Sure, he has removed the "but the other side would cut too" argument. On the other hand his Labour Party doesn't look like a credible alternative government and so is not really able to cash in on this.
Of course, as usual, the Leavers are right ;-)
Not much else to do in Nuneaton tbh.
