I wonder if Jon Stewart is at least a little bit sorry he chose to retire before all this.

Yeah how is that South African guy doing?

Quit watching too. Couldnt stand him. He is too posh. Stewart had that New Jersey street charm.

That would be hilarious.

It is all about the LOLZ.

At this point, what else do we have??

Yeah if Trump wins I can at least find the President extremely amusing. I just wish Canada or somebody else was electing him.

What will Languish Republicans do in the actual election if (looking more like when) Trump wins this race? Vote for him, stay home, switch to Democrat?  :hmm:

My all-important foreigner non-vote would be for Hillary - the first time I'd have ever non-voted for a Democrat. :o

:huh:

I've been saying Trump is going to win the nomination for weeks now. :contract:

He is making fun of Dorsey I think. I should probably have changed "Jeffery Larson" to "Dorsey Foreisman".

When Trump is not the nominee, all of you guys, and especially BB, better acknowledge that I was right on this while you were wrong.

And in case something comes up scandal wise to knock Trump of his perch, that isn't a mitigating factor--I said way back that this was the point he would be vulnerable to such a thing - as the front runner getting sustained attacks from a small group of opponents that can concentrate a message as well as more scrutiny as an "imminent" nominee.

Also, I alluded to him being stopped like Huey Long was, so I have that covered too.  :ph34r:

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

Oh yeah, so amusing.

Not getting my hopes up, but if it happens I'm looking for a grade A meltdown from you.  Do not let me down.

I suspect you will be disappointed either way.

If Trump is not the GOP nominee then I will gladly put a quote in my signature of your choosing to the effect that you were right and I was wrong, which will remain until the general election. :contract:

Bernie is a fruitcake. But then so is FB so I can get that.

What really scares me is that Trump gets the nomination, then a few months before the election another bombshell about the email server crap gets dropped that destroys Clinton.

That would be hilarious.

Even more hilarious will be the reaction of the GOP Senators, after having stonewalled Obama's moderate supreme court pick for over a year, when President Trump nominates Elizabeth Warren to the Court.  :)

The race has been a boon to comedians. Not least, because of how hideously uncharismatic two of the three leading Republicans are.

Cruz looks just like Grampa Munster:

Come on - you know his first nominee will be Maryann Barry.

Canadians will support NAFTA. Even if Hillary is TOTALLY LYING about not being for free trade deals right now. That is my story and I am sticking to it.

If it's Trump vs. Hillary I will have to wait and see what the Ohio opinion polls look like.  Come November, if Ohio has one or the other leading in the polls by a substantial margin, I'll support a third party candidate to vote my conscience.  But if it's close (and I fear it will be), I'll have no choice but to grit my teeth and throw in our two votes for Trump.
