We are so screwed. Trump Clinton. 2 Democrates running for POTUS. So much for a representative "opposition" government.

I'm going back to bed.... Why bother anymore. The people of this nation are officially the dumbest ever. I give up.

Giving up is exactly what they want you to do.

Last night best moment for me was on CNN when that communist prick named Van Jones said that they spent a lot of time talking about Trump and KKK and it had absolutely no effect on people. He was really disappointed.
Media is becoming only some entertainment tool, fewer and fewer pay any attention and believe to what those presstitutes say. As I said before, we are at the beginning of a transformation.
About Trump, I wrote here some 2 years ago when it was the UKIP moment in UK and Nigel Farage had some nice truths said (or yelled) in the European Parliament. I said then that we need one guy like that, that will create a movement. In UK it did not get much traction, socialist cancer got too many people there. We still have a chance.
Is Trump a Democrat? My personal thinking is that he is like me: in some (most) parts he is a conservative, not a republican. In some other parts, he is leaning democratic. But how many republicans in the congress are other than RINOs? Maybe 30? And wasn't Reagan a Democrat too?

Marc, don't give up. This moment with it's momentum it's the best chance you had in a lifetime to change something. Use the people anger and create or rally behind a movement that will bring new faces in the congress this year. Throw out the traitors.

I pointed out to my wife this morning how dishonest (reporting things in a way to slant opinion/belief vs. reporting facts) the TV media is.

In talking about Trump vs. Clinton, they keep talking about percentages - not numbers.

I only looked at Alabama.

In the Alabama primaries over 1,100,000 republicans voted for their favorite republican candidate. I don't know Trump's exact percentage of those 1.1 million votes.

I did see that the total number of democratic voters in the primary was less than 500,000.

If yesterday was the November vote for president, Trump would have gotten over 2/3'ds of the popular vote.

I didn't bother to look at all the states that had primaries yesterday. Maybe it was different in other states but the media isn't being entirely honest about support for the candidates when all they report is percentages.

And they keep talking about how many people don't like Trump vs. Cruz or Rubio. Why would anyone vote for Trump in the primary if they didn't intend to vote for him in November?

In Alabama (the only state I looked up numbers for) if everyone who voted for someone besides Trump or Clinton stayed home and didn't vote, Trump would still have won by a handy margin.

Don't just accept what you hear on the news. Look things up for yourself and try to be aware of information that is not being dribbled out on the TV news shows.

That's what the last Congressional election was about. The people who were elected are mostly spineless. Cruz was the only one that did what he said he would. Everyone else floundered in same way.

We need a Convention of States so we can force term limits for all members of Congress.

Here's your flying pig moment of the week. Lindsey Graham is saying that the GOP may have to put there ever-quivering support behind Ted Cruz in order to defeat Trump.

I'm sure Rubio's solid one state win on Super Tuesday had nothing to do with that. :dunno:

But don't worry, you guys... Mitt Romney just might enter the race. So there's that.

Regarding number of people that voted yesterday in each state, maybe this will help:

1 million more people have voted in Republican primaries than Democratic ones

Note the caveats near the end of the article.

Hello from the other side:
"The movement is called “Bernie or Bust,” and it means just that: If Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont loses the Democratic presidential nomination, a group of his supporters will either write in his name in the general election or consider casting their ballot for a Republican."
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... ers-suppo/

Both parties will suffer serious changes.
I smelled something in the air since last summer, before Trump announced his candidacy. It's similar with the same feeling I had in 88-89 before communism fell in Eastern Europe.
