QuoteNationally, the YouGov data show a similar trend: Nearly 20 percent of Mr. Trump's voters disagreed with the freeing of slaves in Southern states after the Civil War. Only 5 percent of Mr. Rubio's voters share this view.

Ok now that has to be some kind of troll.  :lol: Legbiters just wanting to screw with the Liberals for the lulz.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
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.

Saw this on the Guardian live feed

QuoteCNN is reporting the results from Centennial high school in Las Vegas, a large caucus site where 40 precincts went to caucus today.

That caucus site - and it bears noting that this is just a single snapshot - is showing a 'uuuuuuge win for Trump, and a bad loss for Marco Rubio:

Donald Trump: 44 percent

Ted Cruz: 31 percent

Marco Rubio: 14 percent

John Kasich: 7 percent

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.

:huh: You posted that nearly two hours ago.  How many more times are you going to post it?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I tried to post that a couple of hours go and the site died on me.

I then tacked it on to my comment to Derspeiss about Lincoln Douglas. Have no idea how it suddenly popped up now.

A few other of my posts were eaten earlier, I wonder if they'll also show up suddenly now? :unsure:

I don't understand the idea of a wall in the US/Mexico border.  We are not talking about West Berlin.  The US/Mexico border is very long.  Building it is going to be really expensive, and I don't see how the Mexican government will agree to pay for it.  And it isn't just a matter of building it.  You have to man it, and maintain it.  And even then, the wall will not keep out everybody.  People will find ways.  They can go around the wall, dig underneath it, blow a hole in it, climb over it, or simply bribe their way through.  There was a wall between Hong Kong and Mainland China (there still is), and there was a time when hundreds of thousands of people still got through.  When you are escaping the Great Leap Forward or the Cultural Revolution, a mere wall won't stop you.  It just made the process more difficult, but if people are determined to go through, they will find a way.

You are missing the two key elements of Trump's plan:

#1: it will be a really good wall. He emphasizes this point a lot. Such a good wall won't be so easy to bypass.

#2: Trump is a really good negotiator. He wrote the book on negotiation. He will be able to convince Mexico to pay for the wall.

No need for alarm. This country has seen racist demagogues with presidential aspirations in the past, and none have yet taken office. How again did we stop Huey Long?

Trump has 43.5% of the vote as of now.

Carson and Cruz have 27.2% of the vote so far, if Trump only got 1/4th of those votes he'd add 6.8% to his total, bringing him to just over 50%. Does anyone really think Trump is only going to get 1/4th of those votes? if Cruz and Carson drop out?

He would likely have a strong majority in any two way matchup (except against Clinton of course--just talking about the primary).

However, on 538 someone said Trump's best two states nationally are New Jersey and Nevada. Lets hope so.

 What a horrible and unbecoming denigration of the Kingfish. The Kingfish sleeps abottom Lake Pontchartrain even now, husbanding his strength against the day when the corruption & waters reach their highest tide and threaten to engulf Louisiana once and for all. The Once and Future Kingfish is a river to his people in this and every year, in spite of what aspersions yankee beancounters may care to cast against the honored dead.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'
