I'm not sure if this is more suited to this thread or the Bergdahl thread, but I'll just leave it here.

Bowe Bergdahl's attorney asks to interview Donald Trump - CNNPolitics.com

Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl's attorney is asking to meet with Donald Trump, setting up a possible attempt by the captive soldier's team to depose the real estate mogul who has repeatedly called him a "traitor."

"I request to interview you as soon as possible about your comments about Sergeant Bergdahl during frequent appearances in front of large audiences in advance of his court-martial," Rosenblatt writes, adding that this request is "based on your personal knowledge of matters that are relevant to Sergeant Bergdahl's right to a fair trial."

And legal types want to chime in as to what this could accomplish? Other than the obvious publicity stunt of course.

I caught the last few minutes of the Dem debate to apparently witness what I like to refer to as the "Are you religious enough to be president?" section of the debate. Sanders was asked essentially why he seems to disassociate himself from his Jewish origins and answered the question about as awkwardly as a man who is clearly an atheist (but can't admit the fact for obvious reasons) should be expected to answer. Then, a woman in the crowd, who is apparently a local church-goer asked Clinton "to whom and for whom do you pray," as if the question was a life-or-death matter. Clinton answered it very intelligently, as any politician pandering to the religious should be expected to do.

But all this got me to thinking: say what you will about Europe (I'm personally no great fan), but at least this is something they whooped several decades ago, so that they can move on to discuss other matters. Here in America, however, we're still debating crucial topics like whether or not being gay is "icky" and how much prayer is essential to the appropriately performing the tasks of the presidency.

Just think of all the other dumb stuff we could focus upon with renewed vigor if we could just find some way to move beyond the "Are gays icky?" and "Are you religious enough?" components of American politics.

Somehow it appears you are peering into the future.

Have you placed your bets with Vegas yet? And how does UT's football season unfold?

Ha Ha . It had been announced that Arnold would be at a campaign event with Kasich. That says one thing, endorsement.


Edit: Dang, just now caught I put 10/3 instead of 3/3.

Who does Clinton pray to?

Satan. And if he's busy, Goldman Sachs.
