Up Like Trump

[Wilikon]

What becomes of Rubio´s delegates? I think he had like 170 when he dropped out. Will that be booked to someone at the convention or earlier?

He said he does not want to release them in the famous Untied States letter

Yes of course I remember that letter now. Maybe he wants to have it up his sleeve for bargaining. VP maybe. They´ll accept Trump, force Rubio on him and then try to shoot Trump. Or maybe they´ll manhandle Jeb Bush in there. Ronald Reagan was lucky to escape with his life when Old Bush was one heartbeat away from the presidency.

That is why TRUMP needs to win for all the people who are tired of those private companies called the GOP and the DNC. We are seeing the first sign of a real attempt. No future elections will be the same, unless Them Those People keep numbing down We The People.

Funny...The Donald could put all this squawking to a ironclad definitive end with just one negotiation in July: Ted Cruz as is VP in exchange for Cruz delivering all his delegates to Trump on the second ballot. One single deal done, and Mr. Trump walks away with a second-ballot victory that's damn near unanimous.

One single deal...

Just wondering, is anyone here openly supporting Trump's decision to deport Mexicans? If so, why? I am not trying to judge the views or demands. I would just like to understand them. Not fight them, just understand them. Please quote and respond to me with your views if you are indeed a Trump supporter.

I am (and I am a Trump supporter.)

Reading your post... it sounds more like you do not support deporting illegals at all... only in the case of t...

Yeah, here the way they get agreement on that is to agree on "felonies."

Unfortunately a lot of felonies are not the major crimes they used to be.

But it's widely recognized there's a problem with murderers and violent criminals going back and forth across the border.  Remember, these people terrorize the illegal mexican population more than they terrorize the US citizens, because it is in those communities they live.

Because of this I believe it's just political theatre, all the nonsense people are saying a la "Fear the Trump Plan."

I almost said 'crimes' rather than 'significant criminal activity' because being in the U.S. illegally is in and of itself a crime.  That would be weasely and I am serious about wanting to keep a good number of the 'illegals' who had the gumption to get off their asses and make it here.  Lots of them did it for basically the right set of reasons just as did my ancestors who certainly didn't come here for the welfare state bennies.

If there was a reasonable way to lose the native born rejects (e.g., moloch who I presume is an American of a certain cohort since he acts like it) it would be nice to be able to do it.  As it is, those who programmed his type will probably take care of the dirty deed for us if they win.  If not they'll at least use his class as a pawn in the attempt and many will fall that way or wise up.

Speaking of criminals terrorizing people, it does tend to happen within cultural ethnic groups of immigrants.  For one thing, they know the community and know who has money.  For another, law enforcement takes less action if the crimes impact 'old timers' less.  The 'Asian gangs' in Portland were brutal for a short while and a large part of their criminality was to the detriment of other SE Asians.  I was asking a 'boat person' friend of mine what was up with that and why it went away.  He said that they tended to be ethnic Chinese from around the Haiphong and Hanoi area and were utterly vicious.  They got deported quickly if they got caught so most of them shaped up or shipped out.

You sure? Doubt he will bring that type of change if he gets in office. He benefited from the system all his life. Why change it now? I believe reason why the establishment doesn't want trump in power is because they can't control him. Not like most other politicians. He looks like a loose cannon to them. Saying whatever is convenient for him at the time. But that doesn't mean he is very different from the rest of the establishment. Or the other donors and owners. How many politicians has he personally bought for example? And what did he ask of them?

Really?  We have the loose cannon in office right now.  He is called Obama.

There is another looser cannon waiting.  That's called Hillary.

I think what you mean to say is Trump isn't "Their loose cannon."

Agreed. Obama and clinton are bought and paid for. Nothing much will come out of them. And trump isn't the establishment's loose cannon. Sure. But the distinction I'm trying to make is that it may not matter. It doesn't make much difference, if he thinks and acts like the owners of the system anyway. Because he is one of them.

Why would one of them be targeted by them, if he is one of them?

GOP: 565M for negative campaign against TRUMP so far.


 

Because they can't control him. Because he is taking over the republican party for himself. He is changing the discourse on too many issues they like to use to distract people. Etc. But that doesn't mean he will change how the system works. Not to the point you were saying. Will he do anything about corruption in politics? The way corporations control the government? About people like him being able to buy politicians? Or exploit the system? About democratic and republican parties serving the interests of a few people instead of all americans?

Cruz is not stupid enough to see he's the pawn used to stop TRUMP. Once his mission is done he will be discarded.

Senators Slam NATO ‘Free-Riders’ in Closed-Door Meeting With Secretary General



Donald Trump has spent much of his campaign deriding NATO allies for “ripping off” the American taxpayer and failing to contribute to the world’s most powerful military alliance. But on Wednesday, his fellow Republicans joined the chorus during a closed-door meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Capitol Hill, according to sources inside the room.

For under an hour, senators grilled Stoltenberg, a former prime minister of Norway, about why only five members of the 28-nation club spend at least 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense, the official amount NATO recommends each nation set aside. Some expressed particular dissatisfaction with Germany, the fourth largest economy in the world, which does not meet the 2 percent threshold.

“They’re being laggards. I can’t think of a better word for it,” Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told Foreign Policy after exiting the meeting. “I have expressed this in Munich, I have expressed this in Davos, I have expressed this in every forum where Europeans are listening.”

For years, Corker and other U.S. officials have blasted European allies for taking for granted the disproportionate amount the U.S. contributes to the transatlantic organization. But what once was an esoteric concern confined to the halls of think tanks and embassies is now a red-hot campaign issue. Corker said Trump’s campaign rhetoric speaks to a concern he’s heard from his own Tennessee constituents, which he relayed to Stoltenberg.

“I did mention to him that there’s a populism that is taking place within our country right now, both sides of the aisle,” said Corker. “The American people know that we are a nation spending way beyond our means and when our European counterparts are not honoring their obligations as they should, at some point, there’s going to be a breaking point.”

Last year, the U.S. accounted for more than 72 percent of NATO members’ total defense expenditures, spending about $649.9 billion. The other 27 NATO members combined to spend less than 28 percent, or about $251 billion, of the total.

Rubio's political career is over. He said this himself. He was atomized by TRUMP.

Rubio's fate was decided many years ago, when he supported amnesty for the illegal immigrants. The RINOs are slowly getting kicked out of the GOP. Apart from Rubio, only a few of them are still there (such as Lisa Murkowski, Lamar Alexander, Kit Bond, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins.etc). The RINOs are heading towards extinction!

The guy is just weird. Doesn´t seem to age well. Maybe it´s some drugs.

Bill Clinton made controversial remarks at today’s speech. He also made this absurdly creepy gesture.

He told the truth.

Who is leading currently?

[Wilikon]

Who is leading currently?

Use google to know the answer.

[bryant.coleman]

Who is leading currently?

Trump. Both in terms of delegate count, and in terms of country-wide support. And despite his recent loses in Wisconsin, Trump has so far achieved 93% of his target. On the other hand, Cruz has managed just 54%.

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/delegate-targets/

If he wins the upcoming NY primary, then the gap between him and Cruz will become even bigger. (If Trump scores more than 50% of the primary votes, he will be awarded all of the 95 delegates, and he is currently leading with 52% to 56%).

After the election, Chris Christie's soul will be auctioned at Christie's, but no one will bid the reserve price. It will remain in a brass bottle at Trump's place.

I actually can't stand Donald. When I watched an interview of him, he said how his dad gave him "a small loan of a million dollars" and I honestly wanted to choke him. I've never been more annoyed in my entire life...that is the most nonsensical comment I've ever heard. 1 million dollars is a lot of money. It's clear he wastes money if he thinks 1 million dollars is small. He would not make a great president, but he would be a fun president to watch the antics of.

Is it a waste to turn 1 million into billions?

Boston Globe will publish fake front page as part of tmws Ideas section, w fake headlines from a trump presidency https://t.co/T1x0XlAKMP

— Hadas Gold (@Hadas_Gold) April 9, 2016

Politico reports:

The main story includes mentions of an Attorney General Chris Christie, and Fox News’ Megyn Kelly tweeting from a bar because she’s been placed on a White House black list.

Other stories on the fake front page include “U.S. soldiers refuse orders to kill ISIS families” and details such as new libel laws targeting “absolute scum” in the press. Another story is about how Trump had offended the Chinese first lady by naming his new dog after her.

An editor’s note at the bottom of the page explains why the paper chose to create it.

“This is Donald Trump’s America. What you read on this page is what might happen if the GOP frontrunner can put his ideas into practice, his words into action. Many Americans might find this vision appealing, but the Globe’s editorial board finds it deeply troubling,” the editor’s note reads.
