You're not keeping up with current events. Bernis is slipping. Hillary will win in a route in SC tonight. And Super Tuesday, with the exception of Vermont and maybe Massachusetts looks like it might be a HRC sweep as well.

That's OK. If the Left of Center control the Court, the Senate and the Presidency, then I really want Righties in charge of the House anyway. Too much Leftist power is a very bad thing.

Historically the economy does best when the Prez is liberal and the critters are conservative.

I love Trump's NY bluster. It is absolutely amazing to watch him brawling against plastic characters like Rubio and Cruz. What throws me however is that a relatively normal candidate like Kaisich can't draw more than a handful of votes. I guess this is not the year for normal in the GOP.

I guess, we can't really count out Marco. He is pulling a lot of the heavy hitters his way right now. And, in some ways, he's a rather sharp politician. But, so far, he can't win anything except a narrow edge over Cruz.

Marco acting like he has had a personality transplant over the space of 24 hours is not going to go down well in the authenticity department. And endorsements might hurt more than they help. What gets me is the Carson can still pull 10% of the vote according to Reuters. Reuters Polling.

Roger Stone is saying that Romney is going to take up the establishment banner if Rubio fails according to Drudge.

The notion that Hillary will beat Trump is far from a certainty. The possibility of the establishment Senators going down IMO would not necessarily be a bad thing. Trump is not about Trump. Trump is about the establishment needing to be removed. McDonnell and those whut brung him there are the establishment.

The only way I see Trump winning is if a strong third-party candidate enters the race and pulls all the swing voters away from Clinton. Otherwise, it's a slam dunk.

TR was anti-corporate trusts, Mussolini wrote the book on corporatism. I have no idea how Trump gets anywhere near TR politically/ideologically on economic policy. TR was very deeply involved in progressive democracy for a very long time for the protection of citizens/workers. TR welcomed immigration, understanding it was the base for economic growth.

You gotta make allowances for changes in the situation that America finds itself it. Trump is very pro immigration so he is with TR there, but Trump has decided that the wealthy need to be brought along with a mixture of carrot and stick, which I think is right, because with the current free flow of capital around the globe they can go anywhere they want with a mouse click. Also, Trump speaking for the formerly disenfranchised is a deeply pro democracy action.

The crossover Dems are already voting for Trump. He's not going to get any Sanders voters. And, Hillary's army is fixed. Swing voters like me will either vote for her or stay home. I doubt we'll vote for Trump--are you kidding?

I see the big wild card being a Bloomberg type jumping in, a solid Centrist who appeals to the swing voters like me. But, That guy would lack a base. However, a strong third-party candidate will throw a monkey wrench into the whole equation, which makes the race a complete toss-up.

Sanders has begun attacking Trump the last few days.
The two bully boys need to be very careful how they attack back.
Attacks on Sanders by the GOP would drive his supporters to the polls.

Sanders will not release his delegates before the first ballot.
He wants to remain in the conversation for his issues--that's to be applauded and respected.

Sanders will be very helpful on the stump.
There's no way he wants to be accused of helping to elect Trump .

Minnesota is very liberal as DEMs and also a likely win.
Colorado is problematic for DEMs--voter totals will tell the tale.
As with SC being lower turnout--DEMs are losing white voters to Trump as cross-overs.

Sounds like DEMoron media types have finally caught up to the "excitement/enthusiasm" gap in their party .

SC wasn't going to vote D this year anyway. I was surprised though that one of the religious guys didn't beat Trump. But that's prbably die to them splitting the Evangelical vote between Cruz and Rubio.

Sanders isn't really trying to win. IMO, that's rather obvious. He's not going for Hillary's jugular. Sanders is not a real insurgent like Trump. He's more window dressing to attract the interests of the disaffected youth and keep them away from Trump.

He will help Hillary get elected in November, without question.

Hillary and Bernie will hammer trump's ass back to reality tv .

The whole "make America great again" BS is just a dog whistle to rally Obama haters.

You mean this?


​





The possibility of Romney stepping in has already been floated before Stone's commentary.
If this is true the Establishment is surely lost and it will only lead to the democrats winning.

the parallels continue...

French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen said he would vote for Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump if he could.

Le Pen, who led the far-right National Front party in France for almost 40 years, tweeted Saturday in French: “If I was American, I would vote for Donald Trump...May God protect him!”

Lame on it's surface.
It should be expected though.

There is a difference between those coming temporarily and legally on a visa to work vs those who come illegally to stay.

We allow a million people are year to come to America legally, and TRump is very open to bringing in even more if he can be convinced that it would be good for America, that is a very pro immigrant person right there.

So you wish to double down on the lameness of what you said and include insinuation that is false at that. Figures.

It knocked your argument on its ass to where it can't even address the counterpoint. That IS what lame means.

You assertion was lame.
You made no valid argument in the first place for it to even attempt to knock anything on it's ass.
