It's a colloquialism, and one that everybody uses. If not, you might want to present your view to Benjamin Netanyahu:
JERUSALEM POST---

"Netanyahu repeated several times that Israel seeks to maintain the status quo on the Temple Mount and protect the holy places of all religions.

He said that lies are being disseminated by Hamas, the northern branch of the Islamic Movement of Israel – which the prime minister is seeking to outlaw – and the Palestinian Authority.Netanyahu urged PA President Mahmoud Abbas to denounce terrorism as Netanyahu did hate crimes by Israelis against Arabs.

Netanyahu said that Abbas constantly refuses to negotiate, because he knows that would mean declaring an end to the conflict, giving up on the right of return and recognizing Israel as the Jewish state. “[The Palestinians’] refusal to recognize a Jewish state in any borders is and has always been the root of the conflict,” he said.

BTW, Trump got standing ovations at AIPAC. I don't think he's anywhere near as stupid or inept as you let on.

With regard to the GOP trying to fix the primary process it's like they say, you can't fix stupid. One last thing. I heard today that uber Trump hater Glen Beck said that Ted Cruz is a fulfillment of Mormon prophesy. I told you those folks, and their converts evidently, are different. :biggrin:

Sorry, TRT, my best friend in school was a Mormon. You may prefer a hedonistic charlatan for president, but I prefer a knowledgeable, hard working, honest candidate. Trump deserves all the ridicule and scorn that he gets, and then some. When it comes to knowledge of this nation's Constitution and basic civics, Trump is a buffoon who has used government throughout his career for personal enrichment - and no, it is not necessary for business owners to buy favors from crooked, liberal politicians to succeed in this country.

As for AIPAC, it is a non-partisan group, which seeks to maintain bipartisan support, and whose leadership was embarrassed by Trump's speech.

On Tuesday morning, AIPAC President Lillian Pinkus issued rebuked Trump’s remarks, reading a statement from the stage ahead of an address by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who appeared via satellite.

“Last evening something occurred which has the potential to drive us apart, to divide us,” Pinkus said. “We say, unequivocally, that we do not countenance ad hominem attacks and we take great offense against those that are levied against the president of the United States of America from our stage.”

“While we may have policy differences, we deeply respect the office of the United States and our president, Barack Obama,” she continued. “There are people in our AIPAC family who were deeply hurt last night and for that we are deeply sorry. We are disappointed that so many people applauded a sentiment that we neither agree with or condone.”

If AIPAC did not want to hear ad hominem attacks, then the organization should not have invited Trump to speak.
