I really don't think he will (though maybe I've blinders on) - I just think Hillary (with all her many faults) is going to come out ahead in November. Once again, how did we get to have such a poor final selection? There are some amazingly smart & talented people in public service today - unfortunately, none of them are running for President! (Maybe they're smart enough not to do so?)

It's le pen vs chirac again isn't it? 'A crook vs a fascist' was how the french press described it.

Don't forget the egregious display of toxic narcissism from each side, as a bonus. I'll be watching baseball until October, so please let me know what's on the agenda at that point. At this point, it looks a lot like a vote for Gary Johnson from old mezz. (washes hands)

re: Chirac - the only way Clinton can dodge prosecution for mishandling classified docs is to get elected, I think. Not to speak of all the money running through the Clinton Global Borg. Plus ca change...

The environment we've created for politicians, like so many other crucial public sector jobs, is absolutely toxic. The number 1 job function of any politician is fundraising. Short humorous recap, but that doesn't make it any less true.



A more on the president specifically, look at all of the pure vitriol and literal [Poor language removed] that's been thrown at Obama over the past 8 years. And I'm not talking about the actual politics, I'm talking about the 24/7 media shitstorm and constant barrage of personal attacks.

You want that? You're certifiably nuts.

Agreed - 60 Minutes also had a great segment on Congressional fund raisin (aka telemarketing).

And to have the ego to put yourself out to run for president? You either have some serious stones or serious stupidity (remember Michele Bachmann, anyone?), or both, I suppose.
 
Trump has slaughtered Cruz in Indiana. According to the networks he has thumped Cruz / Fiorina 2016 by 15-20%; Cruz is apparently only winning one or two counties.

Also he accused Cruz's dad of being involved in the assassination of JFK, and managed to wind him up to the extent that Cruz ranted about Fox being biased. Donald Trump is the greatest popcorniste of our times.

It's over for the muppet. He's done.
 

Trump's going all the way my man ;)

I would not be surprised, especially if Hillary is the nominee. Whatever you think of his nonsense, that he has basically taken on and destroyed one of the two great parties that has dominated US politics since the Civil War is an incredible accomplishment.
