Trump is bringing in millions of new voters. But they're not people who are disillusioned with the political process. They're people who don't care about the political process and just want a big show.

Assumes facts not in evidence..

He'll still lose the general election (assuming he wins the nomination, which I think he will).

X2

There is nothing corrupt about having Southern votes count. Hillary won by huge margins in the South, and the South has more people than the states Bernie has been winning, so she's won more delegates. Bernie's wins happened more recently, but so what?

It's called MOMENTUM and is a relevant factor..

Not on this planet. They'll be convinced that the True Conservative lost because the Establishment stabbed him in the back.

In spades.... :D

Michale

Not on this planet. They'll be convinced that the True Conservative lost because the Establishment stabbed him in the back.

He'll still lose the general election (assuming he wins the nomination, which I think he will). There are more millions of voters who do care at least a little about the political process, and won't vote for Trump. But they'll be back in subsequent elections, and they'll vote in down-ballot elections this fall. Trump is a pure boon for the Party, unless they "steal" the nomination from him.

"I tell you, it's unfair even from the Democrats' side. Every time I turn on the television, Bernie wins, Bernie wins — for weeks — Bernie wins, Bernie wins, Bernie wins. And then I watch the commentators and they say, 'Bernie can't win.' How do you win every single week, every single state and you can't win? You know why? Because it's a corrupt system. It's corrupt there, and it's more corrupt on the Republican side."
-Donald Trump

If give you FACTS that prove them wrong... :D

COLORADO GOP DECIDES VOTERS DON’T NEED TO VOTE. WAIT! WHAT?
https://radio.foxnews.com/2016/04/11/colorado-gop-decides-voters-dont-need-to-vote-wait-what/

No slams against the GOP for disenfranchising voters???

Is it because they are GOP voters so they don't matter???

Here, let me help ya'all out...

The GOP is a bunch of frakin' turd blossoms for disenfranchising Colorado voters...

There.. Better?? :D

Michale

C'mon Michale - you know that Fox News is going to be completely biased on this. They use 'revelations about Hillary' as a teaser to keep desperate viewers on the hook through the commercial breaks.

And yet, NO ONE can refute the FACTS of the issue..

I get it. The messenger is frak'ed so the message MUST be bogus..

I am the same way.. Ya'all post something from HuffPoop or DK and treat it as gospel and I scoff and denigrate the message by way of the messenger...

So yer not alone..

But the facts ARE the facts...

It's universally accepted that Hillary made a mistake and used very poor judgment in setting up her private home-brew insecure bathroom closet email server.

This is ADMITTED by Hillary, Obama and everyone else...

Even without the illegality of her actions, such poor judgment disqualifies Hillary from being President.

Michale

I am actually surprised ta hear you say that.. Kudos.. :D

You mean like when we pulled out after the suicide bombing in Beirut?

One incident does not refute the idea..

Under Reagan, the US was unchallenged in military prowess..

The rest of the world regarded Reagan as a clown.

SOME of the ingnorant in the rest of the world regarded Reagan as a clown...

The ENTIRE world regards Obama as a clown..

at the time - I mean, the whole Grenada thing - really? Pathetic.

Funny you should mention that.. After my Heartbreak Ridge quote, I got a hankering to watch the movie.. Which was about the Grenada action.. :D

But I take it you have never served in the military...

Michale

You mean like when we pulled out after the suicide bombing in Beirut?

The rest of the world regarded Reagan as a clown. It is a right wing wet-dream that America wasn't regarded as anything but a dangerous child at the time - I mean, the whole Grenada thing - really? Pathetic.

Yup - but of an eye-opener for me.

OH well, off to watch Season 9 of Big Bang Theory.. Almost caught up!! :D

Barack Obama [] @BarackObama

LIVE: President Obama is speaking about women's equality on #EqualPayDay. ofa.bo/fA5j

Yea, Obama SPEAKS about women quality pay all the time..

But his White House pays women, on average about 20-30 cents less than men for the same work...

Obama speaks about a lot of things..

But when it's time for the rubber to hit the road??

He punks out...

Michale

"OOOOOoooo!!! Obama is going to give me a free phone and pay my mortgage!!!"
-Average Obama voter....

Michale

Sorry... Neil..... My bust....

Michale

You DID catch the poll that show Clinton and Trump neck and neck in the general, right??

Not that polls mean anything this far out, but ya'all REALLY do like the polls..

At least, ya'all like the polls that say what you want to hear... :D

Michale

GOVERNMENT lenders are making that same mistake again...

Why??? Because the Democrat Party needs votes. And the ONLY way that the Democrat Party can get votes is to bribe people with free stuff...

Michale

yea.. That's the Left Wingery claim...

But Joe and Jane Sixpack remember how awesome everything was under Reagan... How the world trembled at our might..

Now, the world laughs and ridicules the US and it's "red lines"...

"You cross THIS line, you die... Uhhh You cross THIS line you die... You cross THIS line, you die!! Fine! You knock on my door, I not come out!!"
Robin William's impression of Barack Obama...

and they are messing it up for the sensible people voting Democrat to try to balance the Capital vs. Labor power struggle.

yea.. "sensible" is what got us the Coward Of The Country, Barack Obama....

Michale

Have Joe and Jane Sixpack supporting Trump figured out Reagonomics has screwed them over for 35 years yet? When they do, get back to me, until then they get what they vote for. Their loss, but the whining is a bit boring and they are messing it up for the sensible people voting Democrat to try to balance the Capital vs. Labor power struggle.

So what are you saying Michale - even though the average wage has increased, and the average net worth, the median wage and the median net worth hasn't budget.

Let's vote in Trump or Cruz and lower the 1% tax rates again, that should fix it ;)

Joe and Jane Sixpack need to vote for somebody who is going to increase Income, Capital Gains and Inheritance taxes to redistribute the wealth. But Joe and Jane Sixpack don't want to do that because they've been trained to say "socialist" if anybody proposes it.

Get back to me when you conclude that "trickle down" is a huge joke. Tell me, do you still buy into the Laffer Curve logic? Seriously, I'm wondering when the right wingers like yourself will conclude that Reagonomics is a disaster for the middle class. I want to know because it will be time to phone a friendly lawyer in the Caymens ;)

And yet, if one asks Joe and Jane Sixpack if their lives are any better and what will you hear???

Not only a resounding NO!!! but a resounding HELL NO!!!!!

Which is why Donald Trump is going to be our next President...

You heard it here first.. :D

Michale

Gotta link? :)

Don't I always... :D

Team Obama is setting us up for another housing-market collapse
http://nypost.com/2016/04/09/team-obama-is-setting-us-up-for-another-housing-market-collapse/

But sssshhhhhhhhhhhh

Weigantian natives don't like it when their Messiah is slapped down.. :D

Michale

"At least" leaves quite a lot more that will be much worse than boring.

If that makes any sense at all. But, you know what I mean. :)

Gotta link? :)

No.. I am talking about the Obama Administration forcing lenders to lend money to people with crappy credit and ridiculously low down payments..

Circumstances that CAUSED the 2008 economic implosion...

Michale

Good luck with that.

At least it won't be boring... :D

:D

Michale

Are you talking about the credits involved in the bank settlements?

I hope lenders won't make that mistake again.

And yet, as I have pointed out, Obama is creating the EXACT same "perfect storm" by pushing lenders to make housing loans to those who can't afford it...

What's that saying about doing the exact same thing over and over again hoping for a different result??

Michale

But the mark of a good leader is how he or she handles things when they go sideways...

In the case of Obama and the Democratic congress, there was not only the most destructive financial crisis since the Great Depression greeting them on their first day in office but also an opposition whose sole priority, in the midst of the most destructive global financial crisis since the Great Depression when many Americans were suffering terribly, was to make President Obama a one-term president.

That is the sort of thing that doesn't skew the results of an experiment but rather makes those results unusable for any serious analysis of the experiment.

That is the sort of thing that doesn't skew the results of an experiment but rather makes those results unusable for any serious analysis of the experiment.

Good luck with that.

Oh I am sure there will ALWAYS be something that will "skew" the results..

But the mark of a good leader is how he or she handles things when they go sideways...

Michale

Comments???

Michale

What do Ohioans say??

David???? :D

Well, why not give the experiment a go with Republicans?

Nope.. I am going to go with NONE OF THE ABOVE as far as Political Partys go..

Donald Trump. He's my guy... :D Sure, he's an asshole.. But maybe that's what we need. An asshole who will slam down all the OTHER assholes on the planet...

"Alright, whoever the hell you are. Use of military frequencies by unauthorized personnel is a felony. As we have no aircraft carrier Nimitz and no Captain Yelland I suggest, asshole, that you stop impersonating some other asshole and get off the air! You're wasting our time!"
-Pearl Harbor Radio Operator, THE FINAL COUNTDOWN

:D

Michale

Not saying that there won't be another such crisis that puts a fly in the ointment this time around. Still, I'd like to see how a Republican like Governor Kasich would act and lead as POTUS.

Yea, I tried the same experiment when I voted for Obama in 2008...

Didn't work out so well... :^./

Michale

Actually, I would like to see a Republican in the White House AND a Republican congress. Because, I'd like to see how they govern. I think John Kasich is the best - scratch that, the ONLY - candidate in this election cycle for that experiment.

And the fact that Kasich has absolutely NO CHANCE of beating Hillary, even when she is indicted, has nothing to do with it, right?? :D

Just kidding you. :D I know you are 1000% sincere in your desire to have what you view as a real and substantial debate...

Many of us Americans prefer a President who can actually get things done and make Americans lives better, regardless of their political/ideological affiliation...

The only one who has a chance of doing that is Donald Trump...

Michale

C'mon Michale - you know that Fox News is going to be completely biased on this. They use 'revelations about Hillary' as a teaser to keep desperate viewers on the hook through the commercial breaks.

His speech today in New York was a breath of fresh air and it would be a great thing for America and for the rest of us out in the world if Kasich could manage to win the Republican nomination. Because, that is the only outcome that would, at the very least, ensure that there will be a real and substantial debate on the critical challenges facing the country and on what solutions will work best.

And there are STILL people out there who think Hillary is innocent of any crime..

"Fascinating"
-Spock

:D

Michale

I would honestly prefer a President Trump over a President Cruz - even though I fully expect a President Clinton.

I wouldn't be too sure about that...

http://media2.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2016_15/1491896/if_these_were_the_candidates_in_november_would_you_chartbuilder_2_8a0f19b81397ce6c7dd8faa12ffaf2d5.nbcnews-ux-600-480.png

And THAT poll doesn't even take into account the Clinton/staff indictment...

Imagine what the polls will look like when Clinton and/or staff is under indictment...

Michale

Of course, I wasn't talking about Hillary. :)

Oh... Then who were you talking about??

Because she's the only one I can think of who I revel in their "misfortune".. :D

Neil,

All we hear from Trump is that he is such a great businessman. How do you reconcile that with losing all the CO delegates?

Because that's not business. That's politics..

:D

Michale

The San Bernardino terrorists left behind a baby. Does Trump want to kill babies?

But, of course, Cruz doesn't HAVE any smarts..

Cruz has the smarts to outmaneuver Trump in the CO process. I told you Cruz is evil.

I would honestly prefer a President Trump over a President Cruz - even though I fully expect a President Clinton.

The real question is: how many more byzantine delegate selection processes are there?

For example, Iowa has still not chosen their complete roster of delegates. Iowa! (See below the line.)

All we hear from Trump is that he is such a great businessman. How do you reconcile that with losing all the CO delegates?

Saturday 9 April 2016: Republican Party District Conventions convene in each congressional district to choose the state's district delegates to the Republican National Convention according to the results of the Precinct Caucuses. Each of Iowa's 4 congressional districts is assigned 3 National Convention delegates.

Saturday 21 May 2016: The Iowa State Republican Convention officially convenes. 15 of 30 National Convention delegates are selected according to the results of the Precinct Caucuses.

The State Convention as a whole chooses Iowa's statewide delegates (10 base at-large delegates plus 5 bonus delegates) to the Republican National Convention.
In addition, 3 party leaders, the National Committeeman, the National Committeewoman, and the chairman of the Iowa's Republican Party, will attend the convention as pledged delegates by virtue of their position.

Of course, I wasn't talking about Hillary. :)

Let's talk about THAT (lack of) compassion, eh?? :D

Michale

Au contraire... I am the most compassionate guy you would ever hope to meet..

But I am ALSO a guy who cares about justice and gleefully celebrates when crooks and scumbags get what they deserve...

Make no mistake.. There is no "misfortune" when it comes to Hillary Clinton..

She made a conscious decision to break the law and do something that indicates an appalling lack of judgement..

sans humanite'

I am trying to find the Romulan translation, but the latin will serve for now...

Michale

I notice that you take great pleasure in other peoples' misfortune and displeasure.

someone said something about gestapo tactics?

If Cruz had ANY smarts at all, he would relinquish the Colorado Delegates and tell the State GOP Party to have a REAL caucus...

But, of course, Cruz doesn't HAVE any smarts..

All he has is ego...

Michale

Hillary was indicted?

Just imagine what it's going to be like when Director Comey takes to the podium at a press conference and announces that he has forwarded a recommendation of indictment to the DOJ against Hillary and/or senior staff...

Just imagine how the Democrat Party's world will come crashing down.. It's going to make what's going on with the Republican Party look like nothing..

Of course, there will be those on the Left who will scream, "IT'S ALL POLITICS!!!"..

But wait.. We have Obama explicitly STATING for the record that there is absolutely NO POLITICS in play over this issue...

And those Left Wingers will have painted themselves in a corner because they have ALSO stated for the record that Obama doesn't lie....

This is truly going to be a May to remember... If we're lucky, it will happen on May 4th... :D

Michale

WOW...

These guys shouldn't hold it all in. They should tell us how they REALLY feel! :D

Michale

Not yet.. 21 +/- more days.. :D

And it's going to be a wild ride!!! :D

Michale

EARMED??? WTF!? :D

Michale

Sounds kinda uh... bigoted.. :D

Seriously though... Establishment Republicans just HAVE to know that if they don't give Trump the nomination that he has EARMED, there is simply NO PATH to victory..

Even with the Hillary indictment..

Michale
