I like and respect Dr Carson a lot. He's just not that motivator personality wise to conduct much of a run at the nomination. I was curious as to where he would side once he got away from the cycle of insanity that is running for President. I couldn't see him worming to the Cruz farm and Rubio is just a lost cause. It was very good to see Ben Carson come on board the Trump Train.

But the media will try to spin it that way and Trump still wants the votes. All of Trumps supporters like his anti-Islamic and anti-illegal immigrant sentiment. Some of them would love him to have (or confuse this with also having) an anti-black sentiment. The media is going to keep trying to spin this and Trump is going to have to keep navigating his responses and level of condemnation.

Wonder if Trump knows that Kasich voted for NAFTA, if he nails him on that, Kasich will lose Ohio

Kasich was almost single-handily responsible for ramming the abomination known as Common Core into Ohio Schools. It has since been dropped state wide and admitted to be a colossal failure. Most people in the state with a shred of common sense can't stand him. As I stated elsewhere, as an Ohioan I wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher.
Whenever the camera is on him during the debates I just laugh my *** off at all the blinking, tics and twitching.

No deal: Kasich kicks Rubio when he's down
Kasich's campaign on Friday flatly rejected Marco Rubio's suggestion that they swap voters in each others home states in order to ensure Rubio wins in Florida, and Kasich wins OH
"We were going to win in OH without his help, just as he's going to lose in Florida without ours," Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said in a tweet.

Breitbart Flack Quits, Says Trump ‘Wrong’
http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/03/11/breitbart-flack-quits-says-trump-wrong.html
Breitbart News spokesman Kurt Bardella resigned Friday amid the conservative website's struggles to properly defend its reporter Michelle Fields after she claimed she was "grabbed" by Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski earlier in the week. "When you reach the point where you can't give 100% to people you represent, it's not tenable to continue representing them," Bardella said in a statement. "My own personal observation is that there is a cycle of behavior that is escalating and it's happening exclusively at Donald Trump events. It is wrong, disgusting and indicative of an ugliness that is contaminating the public and political discourse in our country." He concluded: "Life is too short to invest your time in things you don't believe and aren't passionate about. That is why I made the decision to resign from representing Breitbart."

Absentee Governor Kasich voted for NAFTA and NAFTA devastated Ohio - a disaster from which it never recovered. Kasich is good for Mexico!

While I am surprised that Trump will win the nomination he still has zero chance to be President. His own party hates him and will stay home in droves, and that's to say nothing of a third party challenge. A vote for Trump is a vote for Hillary.
Congratulations Trump fans, you've delivered the White House back to the Clintons.

You are deluding yourself. His party is pushing for a party lapdog, but in the end will support him. After 8 years of the Chicago ward boss, Republicans will come out in droves. Blacks will stay home. Hope and change is dead. The Pant Suit Princess may be watching the election in an orange suit.
You need to spend less time on Huffpo and Daily Kos. They will rot your brain.

SNL referred to them as Ebony and Orangy. LOL!
Larry David as Sanders......"My message is resonating with a very diverse group of white people, and I've got supporters of all ages....18 year olds, 19 year olds."
Now that **** is funny.

Wishful thinking.
Elections are not about ideas, or rhetoric or ideology. Elections are about numbers, pure and simple.
Trump may win white males.
But he will lose Hispanics of both genders, women, and Blacks. Trump is unlikely to bring out the Republican base that ignored 4 years of Obama in 2012 because they wouldn't elect a Mormon.
You have Republicans and even Fox News openly trying to sabotage Trump's campaign. And you think they're going to turn around and vote for that guy? The Republican party is currently strategizing for a contested convention. The party is eating itself, and you think out of that is going to come some cohesive coalition that couldn't even get behind a veteran like John McCain while the nation was at war?
The Republicans are done if Trump as their candidate, and they know it. But you keep on drinking that Kool Aid. When I say Trump can't beat Hillary, that's not a political statement. It's a mathematical one.
I hate the idea of president trump but you are sorely off on this one... Lets break it down... We know that republicans hate the obama presidency... We know that a two term president hated by the other side leads to a huge voter turnout for the opposition side and apathy from the incumbant... Zero republicans will vote for hillary... They will vote for anyone over her....on the other hand trump outplays her with moderate blue collar democrats... My own brother, who fits that description, is voting for trump over hillary... Of you want ill break down the demographics and show you why hillary is ******... She is mcCain and trump is obama... Everyone will expect him to lose but he is going to clump weird voters to win... Especially in some democratic strongholds

The only math that likely will matter is the swing states of Florida and Ohio. I could see Trump winning both those states while losing the popular vote and becoming the next POTUS.
Also it's obvious trump is vaguely playing a message that can be construed as racist or not rascist towards several ethnic groups.. Depending on pov.... The thing people forget is that racism isnt tied to the republicans or white people only... I know way more racist democrats than republicans and the racial tensions between latinos and african Americans is not great.. Moreover thereis a serious economic and security issue in those communities that Hillary polls near the bottom in... While trump polls high... Hillary will lose the entire south to trump.. She will have to battle in places like new york and even california, where his support is far greater than advertised...

And yet they didn't turn out for The Mormon in 2012. And Mitt had nowhere near the acrimony aimed at him by his own party that Trump does. I'm not saying they'll go Hillary, I'm saying they're not going to turn out for a hated carpetbagger like Trump if they wouldn't for a consensus pick like Romney.
Again, not true. Not true in 88, not true in 2000, and probably not true in 2016. People don't like Hillary, but they are actively afraid of Trump. The angry little men who are so loud in supporting him are no kind of majority in America. They're not even a majority of their own party.
That's not even close to being true.
Hispanic Republicans Like Clinton And Sanders More Than Trump
I think Trump will win white males. I said that already. But so did McCain and so did Romney. Without Hispanics, Blacks and women it will be meaningless. And in those demographics, Trump isn't just losing. he's getting stomped by Hillary.
Obama had a ground swell that was broad based. Even conservative pillars like Peggy Noonan and George Will endorsed him back in 2008. People across the country felt his presidency would be transformative. Trump has a limited number of VERY angry supporters, many of which have alienated the party base. I know you don't like to hear that, but it's true. He simply isn't going to manage a coalition within his own party, much less bring in anything more than a token number of democratic supporters.
I can see Trump winning Florida, but never Ohio. Florida has a low/middle working class white population that is likely to come out for him. But he's not even going to win his home state of NY. He'll get killed in the traditionally blue northern states and, as Ted Cruz proved, Trump has a REAL CHANCE of losing Texas to the Hispanic vote. If Trump loses Texas nothing else matters. It's game over.

The World has had enough of socialist appeasers! Vote them Out!
The World has had enough of open borders!~ Build that Wall!
German voters batter Merkel over migrant policy
Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives lost in two out of three state elections on Sunday as Germans punished her accommodative refugee policy with a big vote for the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD), exit polls showed.
The losses in both Baden-Wuerttemberg and Rhineland Palatinate represented a worst-case scenario for Merkel, who has staked her legacy on her decision last year to open Germany's doors to over 1 million migrants - a move voters snubbed
The backlash was also visible in Saxony-Anhalt in former East Germany, where Merkel's conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) remained the largest party but saw the AfD grab 21.5 percent of the vote as it burst into all three regional parliaments.

Steel Vanguard,
Why do you keep forgetting the fact that the conservative base didn't turn out for Romney because Romney isn't all that conservative. You are trying to frame this as the country being left leaning when the truth is the the USA is a center right nation.

A very politically active woman at my work said women should no longer be allowed to vote. I told her I would vote for her.

I once thought there was NO WAY we could nominate someone who could lose to Obama the second time around. We managed to do it. We are now going to nominate someone who will manage to lose to a woman most people can't stand. The Republican party is done. This may have turned out to be a good thing in the long run but unfortunately the country could be completely destroyed before that can happen.
