If we actually have a president trump, for the first time I think I will be genuinely embarrassed to be an American.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Kasich has blown past Fiorina!

I suspect he would be doing a lot better if anyone could remember how his name is spelled.

It is campaign slogan bullshit of course, but his actual statements are actually rather reasoned and reasonable.

It is no wonder he cannot get any traction.

I have to wonder though, if he isn't trying to just hang around, hang around, and once the crazies shake themselves out, hope that he will be one of just a couple left, possibly to position himself as a viable VP choice?

I think he's term limited as governor. Otherwise he'd have an easy ride for a 3rd term. The Dems are just awful in Ohio.

The South Americans are starting to show some sanity just as we are on the verge of electing Trump.  :hmm:

Having 30-something % support in the primaries of one of the two major parties, before any primary elections have been held, doesn't count as "on the verge of electing"  :P

MadImmortalMan

Well, yeah. But even getting the nomination of one of the parties would qualify as one of the craziest choices made by the US electorate in my lifetime.

At least Jesse Ventura was just one state.

Jesse Ventura turned out to be a pretty good governor and a pretty smart guy.
