Oh stop talking such utter rot. Suddenly they are now all murderers. All Bernie Sanders supporters are layabout, unemployed murderers. It got heated because its become such a nasty campaign. Whose to say who actually started the violence? Nobody was there to murder anyone.

If I believe the press .I just read that if Mr Trump want to jump tracks from Rep to Indie .They said he has to mid April to do so.And also they say we could have a Cruz/Rubio ticket if Mr Trump moves on.

The problem is .Nobody knows what the runners will do when they get to the stage.The same at concerts.Maybe they just want to get close to take a picture.Have Mr Trump sign his books.Nobody knows what could happen when that guy was trying to get to the stage.I know he was not there to take closeups of Mr Trump.Hey we do it for Stevie's EO17 handshake.I've watch some YT videos today and still shock that Bernie's supporters as they were wearing Bernie tee shirts and signs stopped Mr Trump's rally.Tuesday will be interesting in the states where winner takes all delegates .If Mr Trump folds .I say t that Cruz or maybe Rubio takes FL with 99 delegates and Kasich takes his home state of Ohio with 66.Its just a guess.I have to say that Mr Kasich is the only one is acting normal then all other candidates.

Here's a thought...What if neither Trump nor Sanders get the nomination of their respective parties...Imagine if they join forces (to destroy the "Hildabeast" ) and run on the same Trump/Sanders or Sanders/Trump ticket as independents. Now that would be something.

I doubt much that Trump is thinking positive with Sanders at this moment after this past weekends protesting.It would be interesting if they do.Ex NYC mayor Mike Bloomberg was going to run .I wonder how would he make out.To bad that Mr Kasich's numbers are not better.He seems to have the most experience doing the job as pres .Cruz and Rubio could get together if Cruz gets nominated.

The clock is ticking .We will see who will rise and fall tomorrow night after the results are tabulated. .

I hope the U.S. will not have to learn some things the hard way.

Which candidate early on tweeted out some b.s. about 81% of all white murders being by black people? And why would anybody wonder why there are people upset? And then there is the bible flaunting and praying in public and kindergarten level name calling on gender and size terms. Really embarrassing backward stuff for an election in any modern nation.

A formerly Republican friend said "Kaisich would be the logical choice for the Republicans therefore he is OUT! That is the nature of the game. Pick the Monkey who shrieks the LOUDEST and beats on his chest the hardest. EEEEEPPP!" Maybe it's not too late for a competent person like Kasich with a record of service who worked his way up? Or Hillary, even if you disagree with some of her fundamental ideas which I can understand, has proven competence which I think should be respected though one might want for something more than just competence usually. Or maybe people really do want some celebrity or outsider running their country, not sure why but... find out the hard way then. I wouldn't want to myself. Reactionism feels good in the moment I suppose but it's a four year term. I'm telling you, Trump won't be able to do thing, and he promises things like changing libel laws so he can sue the media which is typical of his ignorance, nor will Bernie or Cruz be able to do anything to varying degrees. Any of those three will make Carter and his public shaming speeches to stop doing and using look mild in actual practice.



Oh but, the woman, she has a "lust for power," you can just 'feel' it... I guess it's just too bad someone down there didn't do their jobs more often upholding the laws about illegal employment (benefiting only people like Trump), I mean other than using your tax money to build nice housing centers to get the illegal aliens off the street where they could be hired illegally. This could be a case of 'divided you fell' as so many seem ready to support a billionaire who normally has no contact with average people and their concerns day to day. Oops. I can understand it feels good in the moment though, exciting, historic even. I sure hope an actual conservative party comes back because I really think the U.S. really needs one.



Oh, and before I come to 'rant mode ended,' please people who cite Reagan constantly yet espouse things opposite to his recorded beliefs and actions.. at least know he raised taxes many times, more than tripled the national debt, sold weapons to Iraq and Iran, and (here's one for the liberals) wanted military style assault weapons of the streets and the Brady bill to be enforced (not allowed to lapse for some cheap points by the biggest lobby group in Washington D.C.).

I agree with you Becca. Some years ago my country was in a similar situation and ended up electing the wrong person.
I can assure you that, aside from all the other problems, electing a business man to guide a country almost ends up backfiring because everything will be run like a company, especially education and healthcare.

Yes. He wasn't literally the Monkey who shrieked the loudest, he was the monkey who instead of talking about his political program constantly told dirty jokes during the debates.
And yes, think that until recently we didn't even get to vote which politician represented each faction at the elections. The party itself decided it, hence why he was a constant presence in the government since the 80s.
