    DMX7, how do you explain Cruz's win in Maine? I didn't think he would win in that kind of state. Now, I'm beginning to doubt that Trump will have a big advantage in states like NY, NJ, PA, etc. True, it was a caucus and there aren't many of that format anymore. OTOH, most of the primaries moving forward are closed, not open like the earlier ones where Trump could get independents/dems. Cruz's ground game is formidable.
    That was a frustrating loss. My visceral reaction is to say that we underestimated the state's proximity to Canada, which is Ted Cruz's motherland. Still, I think Maine is a state that marches to the beat of its own drum. Trump will do better in those big states.

    I just came here after reading article how Trump was equaled to Hitler by some media. There are really terrified he could win.
    Yup the smear campaign is in full force. I called thus weeks ago. IMO too little too late. This is Trumps world and we just happen to be lucky to witness it

    Cruz is crafty and his ground game is good, but his appeal is narrow and his popularity is underwater.

    There are many parallels, and there are reasons to think he is a fascist and racist, but ultimately he doesn't have the intentions of Hitler which were territorial expansion and genocide.
    I want to do the pledge!!!
    lol ok

    I'm not saying he is a fascist and racist.

    But if he's elected and he turns out to be one, then I'm not going to pretend that the writing wasn't on the wall.

    You won't have to wait that long. Dude is going to show up in Cleveland with his own "2nd amendment" militia to make sure they don't steal his nomination.

    The world watches the U.S. presidential race with ‘disbelief’

    As the prospect of Donald Trump winning the Republican Party’s presidential nomination grew more realistic, the questions became more common: what would it say to the rest of the world if Americans elected Trump to the White House? Just how much damage would such an election do the United States’ credibility?

    And while those questions obviously matter, it’s also worth pausing to appreciate the fact that Trump’s current standing is already doing damage in the eyes of the world. Reuters published an interesting report this morning.

    Foreign diplomats are expressing alarm to U.S. government officials about what they say are inflammatory and insulting public statements by Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump, according to senior U.S. officials.

    Officials from Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia have complained in recent private conversations, mostly about the xenophobic nature of Trump’s statements, said three U.S. officials, who all declined to be identified.



    The piece quoted a senior NATO official, speaking on condition of anonymity, saying, “European diplomats are constantly asking about Trump’s rise with disbelief and, now, growing panic.”


    It’s inevitable that American presidential elections are going to generate some international attention. The U.S. role as a global superpower means that decisions made here have an effect practically everywhere, so when American voters go about choosing the “Leader of the Free World,” a global audience tends to keep an eye on the process.

    And right about now, it seems much of the planet is worried, not only about a leading U.S. candidate, but also what in the world so many Americans are thinking.

    U.S. officials said it was highly unusual for foreign diplomats to express concern, even privately, about candidates in the midst of a presidential campaign. U.S. allies in particular usually don’t want to be seen as meddling in domestic politics, mindful that they will have to work with whoever wins.


    Senior leaders in several countries – including Britain, Mexico, France, and Canada – have already made public comments criticizing Trump’s positions. German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel branded him a threat to peace and prosperity in an interview published on Sunday.

    I continue to think part of the problem is the Republican Party’s unique status among advanced democracies.

    As we’ve discussed before, the GOP in the United States is the only major party in the advanced world that

    denies climate change,

    opposes universal health care, and

    believes citizens should have largely unfettered access to firearms.


    As a result, the party is bound to make decisions that international observers find baffling – there’s

    just nothing else like our Republican Party in any democracy in the Western world.

    Supposedly, Trump has studied Hitler's speeches and it shows. It's impossible not to notice how nearly every statement he makes on the campaign begins with a dark premise (e.g., "something bad is happening", "there's a real problem", etc.). The below video is a great breakdown of one such example.



    Since I am smart, I understand and accept that we must use this type of language to appeal to the masses. Call it Machiavellian if you must, just don't call it ineffective.

    Trump is losing ground in Florida and Ohio is almost a done deal for Kasich.

    People listen to what Carson says?

    His supporters were made up of a minute percentage of blacks and the rest were donors.

    Since when does being a neurosurgeon make you a genius?

    Carson doesn't even know US history. He was too busy stabbing his mother and doing black things.
