And?
And?
Trump winning...seriously!?! :o
Nothing wrong with Trump winning. People are tired of politicians who promise things and never deliver. People are tried of politicians who are easily bribed by lobbyist groups and help their rich friends get richer.
Trump winning is a shot in the arm for America. He just may be the best candidate in this entire election.

Do you really think he wont be helping his rich friends and himself get richer? Are people really that naive? The system doesn't work, it really doesn't matter who makes the false promises before the election. I wouldn't trust Trump or Clinton, they both have a shady past.

Looking at the presidential race with a European perspective but also having experienced a couple of elections while living in the US I think that Trump has one simple advantage over most of his competitors (both Republican or Democrat):Do you really think trump is genuine? Even his hair is made up :) He gets angry and walks away whenever someone makes allegations about his business deals. An honest genuine person could admit to past mistakes but politicians can't do that, so I think Donald Trump is just another politician. He isn't PC but he has his own way to not answer questions or to make the person asking an awkward question look stupid. He is so verbally abusive to anyone that seriously questions him, how can anyone think that makes him genuine?
He has no background in politics and he speaks his mind.
No matter how crazy his ideas are, he just speaks the way he feels and it looks genuine and authentic. Something the other candidates do not show!!!
Ever since I somewhat followed the presidential elections in the US I felt like all candidates are not "real". They didn't look, talk and present themselves as a natural person rather than something that their advisors tell them to be.
Political correctness gone mad if you will. Always being careful what to say. Trying not offend anyone (which obviously is impossible).
Trump on the other hand loves to offend, to be difficult and nasty. He surely f$%&ed up many businesses and pi$$ed off many people on the way but still he managed to build a little empire. He is definitely not an economical loser.
Anyhow, IMO as long as there is no other candidate standing up like a genuine, authentic person who also says things that not everybody likes, this may be a big wake up call for America.
I'm not saying that Trump would be a good president but so far it shows that he is doing something right.
That is just my feeling. Your experience may vary. Any half-brained person would not vote for someone that suggests building a wall to Mexico etc. - that being another issue, how it's possible that so many Americans still support someone who makes such claims.Looking at the presidential race with a European perspective but also having experienced a couple of elections while living in the US I think that Trump has one simple advantage over most of his competitors (both Republican or Democrat):Do you really think trump is genuine?

Ultimately, you get the government you deserve.
I really worry about some of the rhetoric coming out of Trump's mouth and the fact that he gets more support from saying it. Americans are pretty quick to deride communism, socialism etc but apparently very few have any understanding of what fascism is and why it is so dangerous (and seductive).
But, it is none of my business what happens south of the border. I'm strapped to the bomb but can't control it. Just along for the ride.

There are many of us who recognize fascist rhetoric when we see it. I just hope there are enough of us.
Trump is the George Wallace for 2016. GW didn't work out so well as a general candidate.
A two party system works best when there are two strong parties. Unfortunately the GOPs insistence of fighting lost battles (social change, changing demographics, general progress) and trying to turn back the clocks to the 1930s is a losing strategy.
The exclusive strategy didn't work with the last rich business man they ran - Mitt Romney and the numbers haven't changed. America didn't become more white, more straight, more male dominated in the past few years but on the surface it appears to have become stupider.
Trump will keep his percentage of uneducated, racist, angry voters but will lose in a landslide in the national election dragging his party down with him.
As it is the GOP only appears viable due to gerrymandering and the use of fear as a governing tactic. There aren't any actual ideas and they've given up on trying to govern. At this point they are so weak they are afraid of the supreme court nomination process.
Meanwhile, as with the last election cycle, the media will play along with the notion that the race is tight even though the results are rather well predicted - you can't win by excluding women, minorities, unions, LGBT community etc. There just aren't enough poorly educated, angry white men to pull it off.
At this point Bernie is done. Time to start bringing the party in around Hillary to make sure we don't elect our own version of Putin.
I don't understand the mentality. If people think the system is corrupt why vote in some super rich guy? Why not vote in someone that wants to reform the system like Bernie. Does the electorate think the solution is to only have super rich politicians from now on? And by the way rich doesn't mean incorruptible, they didn't get rich by not being greedy or knowing enough is enough.

Trump has barely received any campaign funding. He doesn't have to return many favors. The Republican establishment is trying everything to stop Trump for one simple reason...their friends won't be getting any deals. Trump is more of an independent in the way he thinks and he's not going to allow a lot of pork to go through to friends of either party. Behind all the rhetoric is a successful businessman who has ran a gigantic organization with a structure similar to a government. Will he build a wall? Maybe. Will he do some of the crazy things he talked about? probably not. What I do know is that he knows how to efficiently run a huge organization. I also happen to value people who are honest and straight shooting.

I have no pro or con for Trump.
But do you really believe that he will not be, him too, one of these "who promise things and never deliver"?
I am sure he will; all politicians are…

hard to deliver since he hasn't made any concrete promises other than everything will be great. he's a demagogue playing to sexist, racist, nationalist and anti-immigrant feelings.
even the republican party can't back him!
meanwhile Obama has come thru on many of his promises:
-affordable care act giving health care to over 10 million more
-stimulus which pulled us out of Bush's recession
-steady jobs growth over 6 years
-an historic climate change agreement
-opening relations with Cuba
-fewer prisoners in Guantanamo (remainder are there because of republican congress' refusal to act)
as far as trump as a 'successful' business man - that's no where near the same as running a govt in which you have to actually work WITH the other branches of govt; business owners already run too much in the US while paying little or no taxes

Not even close - there is very little similarity to running a business versus government, the goals are completely different (i.e., making profits for owners versus not making a profit).
Trump is terrible at budgets and planning - his businesses declared bankruptcy four times in only 18 years due to unsustainable spending. Thanks to the largesse of the courts he was able to walk away and reorganize. If he bankrupts the US Government - which is exactly what will happen based on his economic proposals - he can't just forgive the debts, we taxpayers will be on the hook for the rest of our lives. We still haven't paid off the huge debts accumulated under Reagan and Bush, a Trump budget would just be the final nail in the coffin.
Trump certainly has tapped into something and he is very good at telling people what they want to hear and pumping up a certain kind of crowd. However, his speaking and writing are both at about a fourth-grade vocabulary level which is not encouraging. He clearly suffers from - in fact is a textbook case according to many psychologists - narcissistic personality disorder, and very likely is a charismatic psychopath. Not the kind of person I want to see in charge of anything, and definitely not any country with nuclear weapons.
Minscer, Trump lies the most of all candidates [url]http://2016-presidential-candidates-fact-check.silk.co/[/url] ([url]http://2016-presidential-candidates-fact-check.silk.co/[/url])
In God We Trust that we will not get that nut case running the country, Hilary for me, basically because she is a decent woman. all politicians are crap but lets not go with the worst possible option since bush. Trump makes Bush look like Einstein.
Mincer, running a business and being a salesman is not really a good resume to run a country that if it were a person could be described as a schizophrenic borderline trigger happy maniac with a nuclear weapon trying to feed 319 million people

Most Americans trust successful business leaders far more than they trust politicians.
Bernie hasn't a chance, Hillary was anointed by the Dems a long time ago. The only thing that would keep her out is a trip to prison.
I think its dumb to move so far to the right in the republican nominations that he will lose the middle ground. I also think its dumb to be headline news for making outlandish comments when that gets broadcast to the rest of the world. If he gets in to power, the US could be in another financial crisis because those crazy comments make him look like a big risk. The comments about women could lose him the election, or the comments about Putin. Beating some lame candidates for the republican nomination doesn't mean much if he has ruined his chance of becoming president in the process. If Trump has an IQ higher than Bush, he is sure doing a great job of hiding it.Minscer, Trump lies the most of all candidates [url]http://2016-presidential-candidates-fact-check.silk.co/[/url] ([url]http://2016-presidential-candidates-fact-check.silk.co/[/url])

I would say that Trump uses a lot of hyperbole. There are lies like Bush getting into a trillion dollar war and there are lies like Trump claiming his book is a bestseller. And his claim about true employment numbers being closer to 18-20% isn't that far from the truth.
Let's not talk about Bush. He has caused more damaged to this country than any recent president in memory. Trump is not even close to as dumb as Bush.

Simply NOT true! After last night Hillary only increased her delegate lead by 57, leaving Sanders plenty of room to eliminate her advantage in the 24 remaining states. A candidate needs 2,383 delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination, and as of March 16, Clinton only has 1,139 delegates to Sanders’ 825. All of the states most favorable to Clinton have already voted, and the states most favorable to Sanders are still on the calendar.

Trumps newest twist is he is moving from promoting violence at his rallies to threatening to unleash riots on the streets of America if he doesn't get the nomination.
Mincer, running a business and being a salesman is not really a good resume to run a country that if it were a person could be described as a schizophrenic borderline trigger happy maniac with a nuclear weapon trying to feed 319 million people
I actually fear Cruz being on the trigger than Trump. Cruz is the type of crackpot that would start a religious war and cause social unrest. Trump maybe be slightly hotheaded, but he's not an extremist.
If North Korea aims a nuclear weapon at Manhattan, I wouldn't complain if Trump nukes it first.

You must be getting your facts from a Bernie email. The count is 1,606 Hillary to 851 Bernie. She only needs 776 (33% of the rest) more to clinch it.

So your ok with killing 10s of thousands of your own troops thats on the border of N korea as well as the south korean population?
Don't take it too literally. If NK has the capability, an ICBM missile defense system will be deployed in Asia as well as Hawaii. The missile may not be able to reach Manhattan. If they have first strike capability and it's DEFCON5 and there was no way to stop it from reaching Manhattan, then yes, surgically nuke them first before they launch theirs.
Obama hates Trump.
The GOP hates Trump.
Marxist pope hates Trump.
George Soros hates Trump.
Goldman Sachs hates Trump.
Mainstream media hates Trump.
With enemies like this... how bad can he really be? The establishment will do everything they can to stop him. Most likely the GOP will steal his nomination and if he still manages to win as independent he will end up like JFK. Nobody can mess with the one party system disguised as a two party system.

The rich gambling hustler who inherited wealth and bullied his way through life is not the honest deliverer of promises you believe him to be. He may not be a bribed politician because he is the one bribing them. He cares nothing for Jesus, the Constitution nor poor people. He has always put wealth as the marker of success and will only help his rich friends get richer. He cares nothing for you and probably would mock you as a microstock photographer.
Meanwhile, he tricks you into believing that Mexicans, Muslims and young Black Americans tired of being treated like beasts are the cause of your problems.
He threatens people in America and worldwide with violence and war, but probably cannot shoot a gun or take down an attacker without paid bodyguards. He says he is tough, but he cancelled his speech in Chicago because he was afraid. He is a bully and all bullies are weak. I grew up being bullied and I always fought them. He sounds like them and he acts like them. He has no honor and hides his white supremacist ideals and history with the KKK behind the guise of "not being tied to political correctness."
He is the worst option and the only shot in the arm you presume he is, will be from the bullets of riots and civil war he threatens upon the Americans. He makes immigrant and Muslim children in this country fear for their safety as parents of other children cheer USA! USA! as a he mocks them. If you were an immigrant or Muslim, you would understand. In fact, after he foments the riots and civil war, you will have no nation left. He and the Republicans not only want riots, but they want to destroy the government. You will then emigrate to other countries and be rejected like you reject them. Most likely, you will flee to Norway, Sweden, Denmark or another country with universal healthcare and pensions (which Republicans hate). You might even be so bold to discriminate against native born Black and brown skinned Swedes in your new refugee camp.
Nevertheless, if you and all the other worshipers of this false god get your way, I hope that a Black Muslim doctor and a Mexican immigrant nurse attend to your wounds for the chaos that will envelope this nation because this man's arrogance. >:(
May God save us all from this madness.
Anyone that thinks Trump is a plain speaker and an honest guy, rather than a fraud and huckster should Google Trump University.
And if you think he will bring jobs and higher pay to the US, you should know that many of his products, including Ivanka's fashion line, are made in China. Plus he has said he thinks wages in the US are too high.

In fact, after he foments the riots and civil war, you will have no nation left. He and the Republicans not only want riots, but they want to destroy the government. You will then emigrate to other countries and be rejected like you reject them. Most likely, you will flee to Norway, Sweden, Denmark or another country with universal healthcare and pensions (which Republicans hate). You might even be so bold to discriminate against native born Black and brown skinned Swedes in your new refugee camp.
Nevertheless, if you and all the other worshipers of this false god get your way, I hope that a Black Muslim doctor and a Mexican immigrant nurse attend to your wounds for the chaos that will envelope this nation because this man's arrogance. >:(
May God save us all from this madness.
Simply NOT true! After last night Hillary only increased her delegate lead by 57, leaving Sanders plenty of room to eliminate her advantage in the 24 remaining states. A candidate needs 2,383 delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination, and as of March 16, Clinton only has 1,139 delegates to Sanders’ 825. All of the states most favorable to Clinton have already voted, and the states most favorable to Sanders are still on the calendar.

How can you possibly say an elegantly and intelligently written statement is Trump-like? Trump wouldn't understand half of the words in there much less their meaning. Trump likes Twitter because 140 characters is about the limit of his thinking capacity. Trump writes and speaks like a fourth grader - he doesn't come close to the way Tryingmybest writes.
(Full disclosure - I have no idea who Tryingmybest is other than what they write in these forums)

Well-written? Yes. It's also full of hyperbole, something Trump is very good at.
I don't see your point for continuing to compare him to a 4th grader. Exaggeration doesn't make the argument stronger...it has the opposite effect. He has come this far without the backing of the GOP, the media and pretty much every important organization out there, so he must be doing something right. And if you look at past the the surface, he has done a lot of things right.

He would be a complete disaster, I thought Palin was bad, this is just unreal.
.....It certainly isn't exaggeration. He speaks like an elementary school child. Everything is either "tremendous" or involves "winning" or it's "awful" and "losing". He has no vocabulary that I've seen, aside from those simple words, and playground insults at others.

I didn't purport to classify his reading level. We're talking about his almost embarrassing "speechifying" (as Bush would say).
Nothing wrong with Trump winning. People are tired of politicians who promise things and never deliver. People are tried of politicians who are easily bribed by lobbyist groups and help their rich friends get richer.
Trump winning is a shot in the arm for America. He just may be the best candidate in this entire election.
I have no pro or con for Trump.
But do you really believe that he will not be, him too, one of these "who promise things and never deliver"?
I am sure he will; all politicians are…
hard to deliver since he hasn't made any concrete promises other than everything will be great. he's a demagogue playing to sexist, racist, nationalist and anti-immigrant feelings.
even the republican party can't back him!
meanwhile Obama has come thru on many of his promises:
-affordable care act giving health care to over 10 million more
-stimulus which pulled us out of Bush's recession
-steady jobs growth over 6 years
-an historic climate change agreement
-opening relations with Cuba
-fewer prisoners in Guantanamo (remainder are there because of republican congress' refusal to act)
as far as trump as a 'successful' business man - that's no where near the same as running a govt in which you have to actually work WITH the other branches of govt; business owners already run too much in the US while paying little or no taxes

"Affordable" health care. Not. It's more expensive and covers less. I went to a cardiologist. He ordered three tests for me. I didn't do them because the crappy Obamacare insurance won't pay a penny for them, and I have the best plan you can get out of the batch. The other insurance plans wouldn't have even covered the doctor's visit. Those 10 million people you mention may have health insurance, but they don't have health care.
So you can listen to the rhetoric about how great the insurance is, or you can try using it to get a taste of the reality. And I make a decent income. All those other people who didn't have insurance before because they couldn't afford it sure aren't going to be able to pay for all the things it doesn't cover.

Is it obamacare or is it the totally bs health care system that we have in place where the insurance companies and the healthcare physicians are colluding to just keep raking in the money from patients.
I went to see this specialist a couple of months ago. For a brief 15 minute consultation with basically me telling her what my issues were and her ordering some blood samples, she puts in her invoice $1400 for first time consultation. What kind of bs system have we gotten ourselves into because the people/corporations that make the big money lobby money to politicians that make our laws and keep the fat cats fat.

These seems to be the models Mr Sanders is enthusiastic about, Ridiculous - why would anyone want happiness and economic success, must be a * commie.
>Trump:
>He actually wants to build a Wall! :o
@zero_talent, Bush built Guantanamo, Obama promised to do away with it but did not, so what's the shocker with that "wall", anyway? You don't seem to know the first thing about this country, if you try making "a point" out of that: there are camera-and-drone-enforced fences down there for a long time already (and they date back to Clinton's and Bush-the-Older-One's years).

Good luck to USAmerica
Palin aspires to talk like a 4th grader, lol.
It can't be hard for someone worth 4.5 billion to fund themselves. He tells people he is worth 10 billion but as he seems to exaggerate everything about himself, that's unbelievable. He has been taking donations, is there a list of his donators and how much they have donated? According to this, he has loaned himself 17.5 million and might not pay it back http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/politics/Its-Unlikely-Trump-Will-Reimburse-Campaign-Loan-372032972.html (http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/politics/Its-Unlikely-Trump-Will-Reimburse-Campaign-Loan-372032972.html)How can you possibly say an elegantly and intelligently written statement is Trump-like?

I'm from the UK and all my family is from the UK, but last year my brother and his family became US citizens... so they're able to vote for the first time this year. My sister in law is big into her politics and she's campaigning for Bernie this year. She goes on his rallies and holds open house type things. All very exciting! I think he should have somehow incorporated Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street in his marketing campaign. He missed a trick there.They don't have pantomime in the US, he would probably still get cheers if he dressed as an ugly sister. He already has the hair for it :)
As for Trump, I don't really know enough about the guy to have a fully informed opinion. He does seem a bit like some kind of comedy villain in a pantomime though. Although worryingly... people are cheering when he comes on stage, rather than the expected booing.
I'm sure having a great time watching the globalists freak out over Trump 8)As a representative of extreme nationalism (=nazi), I'm sure you do.

One thing we can be sure of is that the day after he wins the nomination, Trump starts dramatically changing his pitch and showing us Trump 2.0. He knows that to get the Republican nomination, you run off the rails to the right, but to win the election you move back to the center. So expect to see an all new Trump, more mainstream and less crazy, and also expect the news media to continue to play right along with him and give him exactly the sort of coverage he wants - while at the same time badgering Clinton about an email server.

Trump could forget half of what he promises and still start turning the country around, run like a business, and I'd be happy. Build that wall, stop illegals from draining the system, lower taxes and the reduce freeloading people. Ask somebody who lives near the South border, in AZ or in LA CA. The ones who pay the taxes, have the crime and are mad as hell. Melting pot means joining and becoming part, not refusing to become part of the nation, or learn the language, but taking free medical and education, without paying taxes.

I dislike both! Unfortunately in US there is no 3rd way. You can only choose the lesser evil. The political spectrum is as uni-dimensional as your Venn diagrams.
A third force, promoting social freedom and liberties (the way the democrats do) as well as economical freedom and liberties (the way most republicans do), while putting a stop to all military interventionism, is what America (and the world) really needs, today.
America must start cherishing again the true freedom and liberty, Americans are very proud about, without realizing how little they have left from it.

to me, a non="american" (ie mexico, usa, cda)...
bill gates is the best person to be president.
he knows what it's like to be a person who works to be great at what he does.
he has track record of philantropy
he can reduce cost by firing all the corrupted politicians
he can run USA with robots
he is already ruling the world with his compute;
why not his own country???

this must be a joke, right?
- so you think Windows is great? Then why do advanced users -- most notably photographers -- use MacOS (not to mention Linux)?
- his "track record" is bullying an industry with a little help from his father shelling out some dubious license depriving a poor little programmer guy of his (not Gates'!) invention
- his "track record" of "philanthropy" is contaminating the world with Zica (his mosquito experiment in Panama went sour), abusing little girls in India as guinea pigs for his questionable HPV vaccines, and dodging U. S. taxes by way of thinking up some "foundation" that really is nothing more than a tax shelter for his billions not to go to Uncle Sam (the latter part I don't mind, but it's not "for others" either)
- reducing cost by firing people is usually not the way to improve the outcome (surprised that "firing" all of a sudden should be an acceptable thing to do in this union-friendly underdog forum her -- what a laugh),
- do you want to live in a world "rulded" or rather controlled by robots?! I am an IT systems developer but have quite enough of this pseudo-technophile attitude...
- that "rule of his computers" is, thank God, diminishing for the benefit of better solutions than an insecure monolithic OS like Windoze
- and finally (and for your information), the U. S. is not "his" country, nor anyone else's. Where I come from, countries are not owned but civil servants and politicians are supposed to serve the electorate in a political system
As for the bullying part and for (ab)using mechanisms in order to see his stuff through Gates would be "qualified" though for fighting a few more wars, occupy countries "for democracy" and unilaterally "change regimes" at will, I grant you that much, @etudiante_trop_lentement
When I was doing a bit of trading on the stock market, I read a book and was surprised to see the author put in print that Hillary Clinton had been doing illegal insider trading.

"Insider trading", "underhanded dealings", what are you referring too, specifically, and where is there a scrap of evidence for any of it? Are you imagining that Trump would even bring up the "wall" again after being elected? Or that there are no skeletons in Trump's very large closet? Or that a guy who's been through 4 bankruptcies is the one to run the government "like a business"?
While there is no conclusive evidence, all signs points to the Gates funded project that caused the outbreak. It's quite disturbing and people are not aware of it.
Politics and religion....there are no winners.They really are the same thing.

After the election the lefties move to the right, forget their promises and it's politics as usual. None of this is unexpected from either party.
Clintoon has many skeletons in her closet, financial insider stock trading, but putting national secrets on a server in your basement to hide the rest of your underhanded dealings email is wrong.
Trump could forget half of what he promises and still start turning the country around, run like a business, and I'd be happy. Build that wall, stop illegals from draining the system, lower taxes and the reduce freeloading people. Ask somebody who lives near the South border, in AZ or in LA CA. The ones who pay the taxes, have the crime and are mad as hell. Melting pot means joining and becoming part, not refusing to become part of the nation, or learn the language, but taking free medical and education, without paying taxes.
"Insider trading", "underhanded dealings", what are you referring too, specifically, and where is there a scrap of evidence for any of it? Are you imagining that Trump would even bring up the "wall" again after being elected? Or that there are no skeletons in Trump's very large closet? Or that a guy who's been through 4 bankruptcies is the one to run the government "like a business"?
I don't think she's a fit person to be president of the US but if Trump is the only other alternative, she is by far the better option.
I know that this is a stronghold of socialist do-gooders here .... kind of loser thinking .... from socialist Denmark who said as much in one of his blog posts last year because he's talking from experience he must have gathered back in his home country
And what precisely is wrong with 'socialist do-gooders'? Say, for example in terrible Denmark which you mention? The country which has once again been assesed by those crypto-communists at Forbes Magazine as the best country in the world to do business (with USA falling for the 6th consecutive year to 22nd) [url]http://www.forbes.com/best-countries-for-business/[/url] ([url]http://www.forbes.com/best-countries-for-business/[/url]) And it seems to suit the do-gooders as the annual Happiness Index from the UN's Sustainable Development Solutions Network [url]http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35824033[/url] ([url]http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35824033[/url]) has it as the happest country in the world followed by four other Nordic countries.
These seems to be the models Mr Sanders is enthusiastic about, Ridiculous - why would anyone want happiness and economic success, must be a * commie.
@douglas -- I'll tell you what's wrong with socialist do-gooders: it is that they are usually freeloaders and want more free lunches no matter whether society can pay for them or not, just like so many on this nice forum here.
As for your glorifying Denmark, I am asking myself whether you are only regurgitating statistics you learnt (as most Scandinavians do) or if you actually have any real-life knowledge of your own (as, for example, Yuri Acurs who, quite tellingly, preferred moving his business from socialist Denmark to South Africa because splendid Denmark does not work out so good in the real world with its darn taxes and big government and 25% moms, or "VAT" -- it did almost the same thing for the same reasons as Arcurs)...
If Sanders is your idea of "happiness and freedom" or if you vote for him out of pity for the old Joe-Biden-style fool then you might as well vote for someone who promotes outlawing gravity :)
Try to make sense of your obscure feelings before participating in the political process.
to me, a non="american" (ie mexico, usa, cda)...
bill gates is the best person to be president.
he knows what it's like to be a person who works to be great at what he does.
he has track record of philantropy
he can reduce cost by firing all the corrupted politicians
he can run USA with robots
he is already ruling the world with his compute;
why not his own country???
this must be a joke, right?
- so you think Windows is great? Then why do advanced users -- most notably photographers -- use MacOS (not to mention Linux)?
- his "track record" is bullying an industry with a little help from his father shelling out some dubious license depriving a poor little programmer guy of his (not Gates'!) invention
- his "track record" of "philanthropy" is contaminating the world with Zica (his mosquito experiment in Panama went sour), abusing little girls in India as guinea pigs for his questionable HPV vaccines, and dodging U. S. taxes by way of thinking up some "foundation" that really is nothing more than a tax shelter for his billions not to go to Uncle Sam (the latter part I don't mind, but it's not "for others" either)
- reducing cost by firing people is usually not the way to improve the outcome (surprised that "firing" all of a sudden should be an acceptable thing to do in this union-friendly underdog forum her -- what a laugh),
- do you want to live in a world "rulded" or rather controlled by robots?! I am an IT systems developer but have quite enough of this pseudo-technophile attitude...
- that "rule of his computers" is, thank God, diminishing for the benefit of better solutions than an insecure monolithic OS like Windoze
- and finally (and for your information), the U. S. is not "his" country, nor anyone else's. Where I come from, countries are not owned but civil servants and politicians are supposed to serve the electorate in a political system
As for the bullying part and for (ab)using mechanisms in order to see his stuff through Gates would be "qualified" though for fighting a few more wars, occupy countries "for democracy" and unilaterally "change regimes" at will, I grant you that much, @etudiante_trop_lentement
While there is no conclusive evidence, all signs points to the Gates funded project that caused the outbreak. It's quite disturbing and people are not aware of it. I agree with a number of your points and I'll add one more.
- MS's monopolistic IE and their dirty tactics caused the death of Netscape. From 2001-2005, in which many called it the "Dark Ages of the Internet", little to no progress was made to internet browser technology and it was all because of the man pulling the strings behind Microsoft.
The idea that the Gates Foundation had anything to do with the spread of this virus is complete nonsense, as a minute spent Googling the issue - and reading actual news sources - makes clear.
So people are still buying stories about different sides in high politics knowing that governments budgets are nothing more than corporate or private properties and the countries them self are registered companies ?
Chill down, they are just picking a face thats gonna stare at you from the screen more frequently announcing decision which will empty your pockets more explaing how you are gonna benefit from that in the future. ;D

How do you know when a politician is lying? answer, their lips are moving. I trust none of them to be doing anything except what is for their own ego, power and financial gain. Noone with any sense would run for President.
Bernie Sanders might be almost as bad for the US as Trump. High taxes on the rich looks like a good idea but it doesn't work because they get around them and don't pay them. He wants to spend more and wont be able to get more in. So the US would soon be in a mess, as the debt is already $19,135,778,280,520 (will be more by the time you read this :) ). No idea why people would want to implement something that has already been proven not to work? As the great philosophers Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson wrote "The history book on the shelf, is always repeating itself"
For some reason I have never liked Hillary
I don't think the rich paid a fairer share before Reagan. There was a much higher top tax rate but just look at the last graph here, they found ways not to pay it.Bernie Sanders might be almost as bad for the US as Trump.

As the great philosophers Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson wrote "The history book on the shelf, is always repeating itself"
What's been proven not to work is the Republican idea of cutting taxes for the rich and increasing spending on the military - we did that under Reagan, and Bush II did the same thing on steroids and it was a disaster for the debt both times. Bush I called Reagan's plan "voodoo economics" and when he tried to make things better was voted out of office. Now his sons and all of the Republication candidates have embraced voodoo economics as their main platform - I guess due to the backlash against Bush I, even though what he did was working (and got even better under Clinton and now Obama).
Before Reagan, the rich paid more of a fair share of taxes and the economy seemed to work pretty well. As far as I know the US has never tried the kinds of things Sanders is proposing so there is no way to know whether it will work. I have been very skeptical about whether he can come even close to paying for some of the things he wants - free higher education, expanded social security, etc - but a couple of independent economic analyses have said that his education plan might work (although I am still skeptical). Of course that assumes that Congress would cooperate and help out instead of actively trying to sabotage everything as they have done against Obama the past seven years.
For economic policies, all of the Republicans are proposing the same old voodoo economics that we know doesn't work. Sanders is proposing something entirely different and wants to make radical changes that would be almost impossible to get through Congress with very unpredictable results - we could make some analyses based on other countries, particularly Europe, but trying such things on a larger scale here would be a huge experiment that very few would be wiling to test. That leaves Hillary as proposing to mostly continue the policies of Obama and make some incremental changes. For some reason I have never liked Hillary and the Clintons are just too enamored of their celebrity status for my taste. She hasn't driven a car in 20 years - totally out of touch with real life for most of us, despite what she tries to say. Not driving may be true of many top members of Government, I don't know, but the idea of someone who always has a driver seems very elitist to me. However, she is the only one in the middle between the extremes of the Republicans and Sanders so to me seems to be our best choice among the available options. I have been on her side since she survived 11 hours of grilling by Grand Inquisitor Gowdy during the Benghazi show hearings in Congress - the Republicans went way over the top on that one wasting over $5 million in taxpayer dollars for no benefit except to further their political goals. Such nonsense does not happen (or at least not very much) when the Democrats are in charge of Congress - they usually actually try to govern, unlike their Republican counterparts nowadays.
Feel the Bern!Feel the Bread Line!

If Bill was running against Drumpf, would you vote for him?
Trump is starting to change his strategy. It's been happening in the last couple of weeks and it seems like I'm not the only one who has noticed it.
The 'angry' Trump is starting to fade away and he's showing off his presidential side. His speech to the AIPAC tonight basically confirms this shift in strategy. I expect him to start gaining more and more support in the upcoming weeks and it wouldn't surprise me if he starts to warm up to the Republican establishment as well.

Every stupid comment he has made in the past will be used against him and I don't think his ego can take admitting that he has done anything wrong.

I am a neighbor to to the North. I keep comparing Trump to Toronto's Rob Ford (who passed away this morning). If you don't remember the name he was the obese, crack smoking, heavy drinking, straight shooting, lovable, hateable, football loving kid next door who became Mayor of North America's 4th largest city. People loved/loathed how utterly real he was and the $hit that came out of his mouth was deliciously entertaining (even more so because I was not longer a Toronto resident). He got more than his 5 minutes of U.S. Media and tabloid attention - even appeared on Kimmel. RIP Rob
And how the heck was a baffoon like Rob Ford elected? They say that he was elected by people that never vote. I'm afraid this may happen with Trump. The haters will get off their lazy boys and vote, because for once there is someone who is as much of a racist and misogynist as they are.

Rob Ford is DEAD?!! He was a pretty young guy. Guess the lifestyle killed him. But yeah, he is impossible to forget, charging thru the city assembly like a rhino, looking like Chris Farley on crack. My favorite line of his was "I got plenty to eat at home". Sorry to hear the drugs got him (I assume it was drugs?).

It was cancer actually.
Honest, I'm more worried about what's going on in Europe, Belgium, France and with ISIS. The President becomes a figurehead after the election. People overrate the power and control of one person. It's not like the 1800s

Actually it is like the 1880s The President has never had much real power - it was designed that way from the beginning. For example, only Congress can declare war or appropriate funds. The President proposes a budget, but then Congress will do what they want and if they don't appropriate the money then nothing will happen. That's why Trump shows a remarkable lack of understanding about how the Government works when he says he will do things that can only be done with the approval of Congress - it is not like being the CEO of your own company.
However, the President is far more than a figurehead and recent Presidents have found ways to get more power for themselves. A bad President can cause tons of damage, especially if Congress is on their side. They are in charge of diplomacy with foreign countries and can persuade Congress to do the wrong thing. For example, Bush II talked Congress into invading Iraq with faked evidence about weapons of mass destruction, and also as a personal vendetta against Saddam for a supposed plot to assassinate Bush I. A figurehead would not be able to lead the country into war. Who is in charge is very important and those of us who can vote need to take the coming election very seriously.
I don't think it's correct to say that Bush convinced Congress to invade Iraq. Rather, Bush invaded Iraq and later convinced Congress to pass a resolution supporting what he had already done. Now, with the prospect of an utter fool like Trump as President, we see what a dangerous precedent Bush has set.

It depends on the Bush. The first President Bush deployed troops to the Gulf during the second half of 1990 and then asked Congress for a resolution during January of 1991, after he had the troops there but before entering Iraq. Bush II convinced Congress to give him his resolution for war during October of 2002 before invading in March of 2003 (can you remember where you were during the whole "shock and awe" spectacle?). Although it seemed like they both invaded first and asked for resolutions later it isn't exactly true. However, I agree completely about the precedent and how scary it would be if Trump were in charge.
This video that was on facebook yesterday reminded me of who is running.
I am not going to fact check so I may be passing on more propaganda but quite interesting.

Nothing wrong with Trump winning. People are tired of politicians who promise things and never deliver. People are tried of politicians who are easily bribed by lobbyist groups and help their rich friends get richer.Why would Trump be any different? Do you really think he wont be helping his rich friends and himself get richer? Are people really that naive? The system doesn't work, it really doesn't matter who makes the false promises before the election. I wouldn't trust Trump or Clinton, they both have a shady past.
Trump winning is a shot in the arm for America. He just may be the best candidate in this entire election.

Trump likes to talk about winning all the time. The problem with winning is there is one winner and the rest are losers.
Trump wins when he kicks an old lady to the curb to build his casino parking lot. Trump wins when brings in cheap temporary imported labor for his Florida resort.
I'd rather see a politician speak about empowering people and raising up those who are hurting.
The anger show at his rallies comes from people who are losing. What makes them think a self centered, megalomaniac greedy businessman who has built his company around creating gilded play-lands for the rich is going to care about them?
He doesn't care about the middle class - the middle class isn't his customer base.

The U.S. media wants Trump to be elected; it's the political story of a lifetime. To that end they've given him 10 times the coverage of other candidates - free of charge. And they'll continue playing ball with him until the election - by running soft-pitch stories like "Trump refuses to back down" instead of going after his ridiculous and inconsistent statements.
But if Trump somehow manages to get elected, that all changes and the media sets out to bring him down. That's when they'll start to pull all the skeletons out of the closet, and go for his blood. They'll do their best to push it all the way to impeachment. It won't be pretty. Chaos and conflict is what they want, what they sell, and what they know how to create.

Those of us who live in the New York area and have been to Atlantic City are long aware of Trump's bullying of the lower and middle classes to put up his buildings.
Many jobs were exported to developing nations and we're now starting to feel the pain.
My suspicion is that Trump is saying all the right things and he looks like an outsider, being attacked from the establishment, but he is in reality just playing a part. A bit like 'hope and change' but this time for the righthand side of politics.
Everyone knows something is wrong and we're heading towards an endgame so the candidates are more extreme, such as Berni and Trump. The death throws are getting more extreme.

As president, Trump could lower taxes for the rich and lower taxes for his businesses. I don't think being president would hinder him in any way, just look at other leaders around the world, many of them use it to increase their wealth. This week, the multi millionaire George Osborne lowered his taxes while attempting to take money away from disabled people in the UK.Nothing wrong with Trump winning.

You seriously think he can do it better this way, than from the behind the scene, hidden from the public eye? That's just pure nonsense. You actually likely to erode most of your ability for corruption if you become the world's most watched person. Going thru all this hassle probably means losing influence for a super rich person. If what you said had any truth to it, the last 3 decades would have been about rich businessmen being candidates, and it never happened - for a good reason
Even if his intentions are shady, it's definitely not business. He is solely losing on the business side with this. An overwhelming sense of pride an ego, to achieve everything there is to be achieved would be the best bet... but people who try smear Trump every way possible don't like mention that, because all that urge to prove himself to the world might work out to the benefit of USA in this situation.

Really? Have you read huffpo for example nowadays? How is saying that Trump incites violence, will get someone killed at his rallies, is part of the mob so he should be banned, or this note et the end of each Trump article: "Editor's note: Donald Trump is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist, birther and bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims - 1.6 billion members of an entire religion - from entering the U.S."... is "playing ball with him" ? :)

And they'll continue playing ball with him until the election - by running soft-pitch stories like "Trump refuses to back down" instead of going after his ridiculous and inconsistent statements.
But if Trump somehow manages to get elected, that all changes and the media sets out to bring him down. That's when they'll start to pull all the skeletons out of the closet, and go for his blood. They'll do their best to push it all the way to impeachment. It won't be pretty. Chaos and conflict is what they want, what they sell, and what they know how to create.
Really? Have you read huffpo for example nowadays? How is saying that Trump incites violence, will get someone killed at his rallies, is part of the mob so he should be banned, or this note et the end of each Trump article: "Editor's note: Donald Trump is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist, birther and bully who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims - 1.6 billion members of an entire religion - from entering the U.S."... is "playing ball with him" ? :)
Playing ball with Trump doesn't mean you're for, or against, him, politically. It means you give him free publicity that reinforces his image, and you make money by doing it. Huffington Post churns out over-the-top political correctness, exaggerating what Trump actually says. Then they sell the outrage, and Trump gets another soft pitch to hit out of the park. This is followed by more "Trump refuses to back down" and "Trump stands by his remarks" headlines. And his numbers go up.
Here's part of what Les Moonves, CEO of CBS, said to an investor gathering in January:
“I’ve never seen anything like this, and this is going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going."
Topol is a breath of fresh air in all this hardcore leftist rhetoric.
Nope.
The truth is that, when you exhale such thoughts, the air is far from being fresh, Mr. Jirinovsky/Putin/Trump fan.

The nazi card - the ultimate escape for hatemongers when they have absolutely no arguments.
btw, do you know who invented this "rethoric" of calling people *, to shut them up when you are loosing an argument? Stalin. That was his advice to his diplomats.
Its pretty bad when your own party does not want you in there. Trump can buy anything he wants.. I think it is another thing he wants to buy. He has been a politician type of person all his life. I think Hilary will make him look bad in the debates. Will be interesting and the entire thing has been a circus. How embarrassing for the USA. SMH

Trump isn't, never was, and never will be an actual republican. You just happen have a bit of a narrow choice in the USA if one of your agendas is doing away with political correctness. :) He is destroying the 100% percent corrupt GOP 100% intentionally. You ppl need to grow eyes, form what I'm reading here... yeah, and brains too :))
Many jobs were exported to developing nations and we're now starting to feel the pain.
My suspicion is that Trump is saying all the right things and he looks like an outsider, being attacked from the establishment, but he is in reality just playing a part. A bit like 'hope and change' but this time for the righthand side of politics.
Everyone knows something is wrong and we're heading towards an endgame so the candidates are more extreme, such as Berni and Trump. The death throws are getting more extreme.
He could be "playing a part".. the rest are for sure playing a part.
the only way to prove American people are not dumb is to elect Bernie..
he is once in a lifetime opportunity.. Hillary is worse than trump.. at least trump is not pretending to be a "democrat" :D

Just watched the Piers Morgan interview with Trump. Piers Morgan obviously couldn't question him properly because Trump would of walked out, like he always does when he is asked a difficult question in an interview. It was a waste of time, Piers Morgan just let him say all the usual lies about the UK. Trump was trying to tone it down but his ego was still out of control. All it did was make me like Piers Morgan even less, I thought that wouldn't be possible.
Bernie is a bait and switch.
He points to the 1% as the problem but if he gets elected he will tax the stuffing out of everyone but the 1%. Apparently he had his honeymoon in the communist soviet union. It's unbelievable!
The brain boxes will leave the USA.
If Trump ends up winning it'll be the biggest PUNK'D America has ever seen! LOL!

Bernie already admitted on Bill Maher that he's going to increase taxes for more than just the 1%. He'll likely increase taxes on the top 10% and people earning less. It's a slippery slope. Everyone is a socialist until they start earning a decent salary.
....
The basic premise of the book is that if you have a high income and frugality you accumulate wealth over a lifetime. High earners who are high spenders have nothing to show towards then end of their lives. Their children generally live off the parents wealth. Frugal parents limit what they give their children.
The people that are going to 'feel the Bern' will be the high income frugal savers just underneath the 1%. They'll also be the ones who pick up and move elsewhere when it becomes advantageous.

first, a large proportion of that 10% is INHERITED wealth
but bigger factor is that any increased tax is on INCOME not total wealth -- so even doubling the current tax rate on this 10% would do little harm to their actual wealth or spending

top 10% account for > 80% of total income; no other industrial nation comes close to US income inequality
the bigger question is what we'd get for our taxes. current laws are skewed to reqard that top 10% without exacting their share of costs. new taxes could bring us into the 20th century in terms of universal health insurance, social safety net, job creation, etc, etc rather than rewarding the parasitical financial sector which produces NOTHING
that's the real socialism in the US -- corporations are bailed out when they fail, but keep all the profits when successful

"The media people are at a loss in trying to deal with Trump. He doesn't follow the pattern and they don't know how to handle him. "
All they have to do is show him talking. Every time he speaks, I can't believe how stupid he sounds. Last night, I caught a clip, and as usual, everything was "tremendous". It's like a drinking game.

Trump wants to make America great again. What made America great? Protestant Christianity, Calvinism in particular, gave rise to these ideas which were put into practice:
Private ownership of land and property rather than serfdom or slavery was preferable.
Doing right by your neighbour as you would have them do to you allows businesses to flourish.
Unjust scales and weights were an abomination. No fractional reserve money printing.
Charity was voluntary and nobody gives more than protestant Christians.
Husbands loving wives and wives respecting husbands, working together, statistically eliminates poverty.
Protestant work ethic produces prosperity.
Families and Churches take care of elders, widows and orphans - everyone else works.
Limited government and taxation needed due to people taking care of themselves and those around them.
Less sins like murder and theft means less destruction and cost to the community.
Not bearing false witness allows innocent people to live peacefully without fear of retribution.

You and I read different history books. The founders fled Europe because of religious persecution. That's why they included the clause in the Constitution prohibiting the establishment of a State religion, commonly referred to as separation of church and state. The pledge of allegiance did not include the words Under God until the 1950s. A protestant theocracy was the LAST thing US founders wanted.
Not to mention that most of the values you list and attribute to protestantism date back as far as Hammurabi's Code, The Ten Commandments, and Catholicism, all of which predated Martin Luther's Theses and the start of Protestantism by thousands of years.
If you want to live under a theocracy, may I suggest Iran?

What made America great was a long period of true economical freedom (long gone now).
A period when private initiatives, entrepreneurship, new ideas could flourish unincombered by taxation, regulations and other bureaucratic government interventions.

Exactly and the closest candidate of this concept, although still far away, is Trump.
Trump understands economy more than all the others combined, his 35% tax on foreign goods from specific countries would create millions of jobs for anybody who's willing to work. His crackdown on illegal immigration would benefit lower class citizens more than anyone else. Only the free-crap army won't like it.

These are far from being libertarian concepts!
Trump promotes protectionism and isolation, instead of free trade. Protectionism protects jobs in inefficient parts of the economy. This leads to less choices, lower quality products for higher prices. Consumers will end up subsidizing these "protected" labor intensive jobs.
Free trade creates jobs in the areas where US is strong and competitive and consumers benefit from it.
I said it before, when China gets US dollars for performing manufacturing jobs with with no qualification required, they must spend these dollars on something. They will spend these dollars on american goods and services, with a lot of embedded intelligence, creating high quality jobs, and stimulating american workers to continuously improve their qualifications.
Taxation of foreign goods will promote inefficiency instead of stimulating american competitiveness.
Free trade means progress, prosperity, peace.
So that "job creation" is a HUGE fallacy like all other HUGE things Trump promotes.
And BTW, Sanders is equally wrong on this topic.
US will never be competitive unless it becomes a third world country - it's well on it's way though.
I think Donald Trump is great!
Just what the establishment needs a good kick up the pants to the vested interests
And he's actually more liberal than Cruz
:)
Yes it's competitive in a few sectors of the economy that happens to hire very few people.
You cannot have a 300 million population country based on technology sector.
By the way Boeing just fired more than 4,500 workers.
Unemployment is getting higher and higher, poverty is going up very quickly. It's not working.
There are not enough jobs that require qualification, and no environment encouraging small businesses.
People are sick and tired of cronyism and that's why they're flocking to Trump and Sanders.

As long as China accepts US dollars in exchange for t-shirts, it means they need American products to spend their dollars on (unless they are fine working for free). Creating those american products require better jobs than t-shirt manufacturing, "believe me" (as Trump loves to say, when he doesn't have arguments, lol :)
These simple economical facts seems to elude the understanding of Trump the economical expert, "believe me"
And all stats shows a rather decent level of unemployment in US compared with other economies, but for Trump even small numbers are HUGE (he said unemployment is 42%, lol)
Trump, Feb. 9: I am going to be the greatest jobs president that God ever created. Remember that. Don’t believe those phony numbers, when you hear 4.9 and 5% unemployment.
The number’s probably 28, 29, as high as 35. In fact, I even heard recently 42%. Do you think we’d have gatherings like this if we had, if we had 5% unemployment, do you really think we’d have these gatherings?
Bernie is a bait and switch.

Communism didn't start with WWII, at least get your basic history right before you go off an uneducated rant. Marx published "the ideology" around 1840, USSR formed in 1922... so the rest is jut nonsense, the dictatorial political force that started the war was the *, nobody else. Tipical, the one who knows next to nothing about what he's talking about is the first to throw around "indoctrination" :)
On the same page: Trump is the most anti war candidate next to Bernie... and this meme of comparing him to na z i s , hitler, was invented by marketing ppl hired by the big money establishment, targetting the most unreasonable, emotion driven, angry leftist voters.
I was referring to top 10% of NET WORTH not annual income being mostly inherited.first, a large proportion of that 10% is INHERITED wealth
but bigger factor is that any increased tax is on INCOME not total wealth -- so even doubling the current tax rate on this 10% would do little harm to their actual wealth or spending
I think you mistaken the top 10% for the top 1%. Generalizations like yours is what's wrong with this whole debate. If you make over $110k, you are considered to be in the top 10%. And if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, that money doesn't get you very far
And socialism doesn't create jobs, unless it's in the public sector...because we'll need more people to distribute that extra money. Socialism discourages competition and reduces urgency for everyone. I don't like Corporations getting bailed out as much anyone, but it's just as bad to bail out the parasitic non-productive part of society that also happens to offer nothing other than leech off the productive.
Society need to stop hating on the rich, or you may end up hating yourself one day.
In this tax on INCOME scenario, the 10% who inherited wealth would be better off sitting on their wealth rather than risking it in the economy, trying to be productive, which means less taxes.

forgetting perhaps that 'gilded age' of free enterprise and robber barons also caused bank panics and recessions and depression every decade culminating in the Great Depression -- the US only REALLY prospered as a whole after the New Deal running peaking the 1950s and 60s (when we had 70%+ tax rates, SEC, separation of baning from speculation,etc, etc) Govt oversight was a major factor in prosperity

depends what their wealth is - if they make 10% a year on $10 million they would pay a LOT more than they do now on that $1 income from 'rents'
if passive income were taxed the same as productive uses, there'd be incentives to invest; if there were additional incentives for real job creation there'd be even more
that's how 'socialism' can work in a capitalist market
nonsense - all the industrial nations of Europe have some form of socialism - rather than demonizing it like the right wing does here in the US, European nations h ave taken a variety of socialist positions and have created jobs while doing so
it's not a matter of hating the rich - it's making our GDP work -- when we bailed out the banks, they were supposed to feed that capital back into the market, but they didn't -- instead we should have let their stock go to $0, hitting the speculators, and turned their bonds into new stock with the govt preventing bankruptcies if need be -- that way those responsible for the recession would have paid for it, and the govt could recover its investments if the banks reorganized and showed a profit
I'm much less concerned about a few people on the bottom of the income well 'taking advantage' than those who skim BILLIONS from the top without contributing to the economy

you really do need to read a bit more history -- the Holy Roman Empire didn't cause half the problems that your protestant revolution did -- climaxing in the 30 years war that wiped out large chunks of Europe
and meanwhile average life in the Ottoman empire bettered that of most of Europe - certainly wrt religious tolerance - eg, when Spain threw out the Jews, they found new homes and prospered in the Ottoman Empire

The banks make up a tiny percentage of ALL industries. Yes, they benefited, but that's no longer the point. That has nothing to do with the current issue at hand. The issue here is whether America should be a socialist country and the the answer is NO.
America already has socialist programs. Welfare, public housing, food assistant and various other public programs. Our GDP is fine as it is, socialism would destroy it. It would destroy all that is good about the United States. Ever since the implementation of socialism, what the good came out of England? What good came out of France? What exports do they have? What innovations do they have? I can't think of anything.
American capitalism is the reason why we have so much innovation and so much progress. Every Windows machine, ever Macbook, every iPhone and every Android phone originated in the US because Capitalism encourages competition, entrepreneurship and innovation. Socialism would destroy much of that entrepreneurship.
Socialism encourages laziness and entitlement. Capitalism benefits the intelligent and hard working. This country doesn't need socialism, a system that's quite good at spreading misery to everyone except for the parasites of society.

"Donald Trump said Wednesday that abortions should be banned and that there "has to be some form of punishment" for women who undergo the procedure".
Public flogging perhaps? 20 lashes in Town Square?
Wouldn't women that wanted an abortion got to Canada if it was banned in the US? Maybe they need a wall for that too.

Yeah, horrifying! Did you notice when he was asked if there should be punishment for the men who impregnated the women he said NO?!
He also had to backtrack by the end of the day and say there should be no punishment for the women because they are "victims".
It seems to me that more then any politician he is saying what he thinks his target audience want to hear but he hasn't got the brain to realize how many others he is alienating at the same time.Sorry to get back to Trump, I'm sure you saw this yesterday, but....

It seems that Trump says anything and the contrary of anything in the way to satisfy the maximum audience: most of the people listen (and remember) only what matches with what they think.
He is only doing so well because he is up against a bunch of unelectable candidates. I think he could do well against Hillary Clinton, as she has a lot of problems but surely he can't beat her because she acts vaguely human and has so much ammunition for the debates. How can Trump pretend to hate her when he was a big fan a few years ago? He is going to come unstuck at some point. Nobody can switch political positions as much as he has and keep their credibility. How will he avoid being hoist with his own petard?
I go this one wrong. It dawned on me this week that Clinton was going to lose. Hope it wont damage the US based microstock sites. They will be paying less taxes (if they pay any now :) ).I'm not sure if there are any longer term implications around free trade and the ability for non us contributors to carry on contributing. Easy for them to move to Canada I guess if it ever happens (which I doubt). Less taxes h'mmmm I'm not sure any one quite knows what Trump will actually do (least of all Trump)
