    For levity, my old elementary school teacher posted this on FB today. I think it is a perfect combination of our Twins talk and the Trump run (with clever mistakes and everything, a la Donald): "I am

  • Except there is no way that your average rural American likes Donald Trump the person. At least, I have to believe that or we are truly doomed.   I don't think it is about the person OR the platform

  • Thank you.   Many, if not most, Americans have changed their stance on SSM, for example, over the past decade. Including me.   People are honestly going to hold it against her for changing her opinio

Well. He did turn me into a newt.

 

Should I list all the times they did this, and it was true? You wanna go there?

 

If it's true, will the right treat him like they did clinton, or not?

 

If it's true he's done.  That's simple.  Problem is there is no evidence to suggest it actually is true at this point.  They have got stories right in the past, but those stories appeared to be solid from the start.  It's not as if people on the inside didn't know Trump was pushing this story.  It's hard to turn down a Trump bribe even the Clintons couldn't.  Like I say if the story has legs the rest of the media will get on board.  Pretty disgusting to see how far Trump will go but I guess because Cruz might have people who disagree with his politics people will want to think it's true.

 

This won't hurt Trump if more nad more agencies come out confirming elements of the story.  Then Cruz is basically sunk.

 

Agreed.  The point is it appears that's not about to happen if the story is just another Trump lie.

Luckily for Cruz this is happening on a Friday before a holiday.  If nobody else piles on by the time Trump gives his next punch a black man event he's gonna look pretty stupid bringing this up.  I wonder if Trump is even aware of Easter.

For the record, there is zero proof Trump is behind the story.

Slightly more then zero, but I'll agree without proof that's just a blind accusation.  Trump does have connections with the Enquirer and while they do like to get things right they are more then happy to just sale magazines with flashy headlines.

What I think's interesting is that although a lot of new media outlets are resisting covering the story (for good reason if they don't have independent reporting), but Cruz's statement that Trump is to blame will make news about the impending back and forth, and spread the story despite only the Enquirer reporting.

I may be terrible for assuming, but doesn't Trump seem like a guy who constantly has affairs and doesn't even bother covering them up? Not that one or two dozen affairs wouldn't somehow help him with his base anyway.

 

Regardless if it's true or false, we can't be far from a Trump sound bite calling Cruz a Canadian sex addict.

National enquirer also broke the John Edwards and Tiger Woods stories. Just wait, this will snowball over the next weekx

I just wish we were talking about making the world a better place. When does that part of the election start?

When the U.S. stops trying to manage everybody else and gets its own house in order. I do not expect to live long enough to see this, although being wrong isn't a problem for me here.

I'm pretty sure you have us mixed up with Luxembourg elections.

I'd settle for an election that doesn't feature Trump, Cruz and Hillary as most likely candidates for POTUS.

Well, you could become a Berner.  All you have to do is basically accept that he's the perfect candidate and worship him like some sort of political god and accept no criticism of him whatsoever.

 

Then you can add a fourth option to your list!

 

I, however, continue to be firmly in Camp Kodos.

 

Historically it seems that's where most of your problems stem from I believe.

I can't like this statement because I hate it. The truth hurts.

Obama worked 8 years to get us disengaged from the Middle East, but the next president is very likely to draw us back into it as tightly as ever.

 

Cheers. 

Bernie is trying to make things interesting down the stretch. He has won five of the last six states and won them by *huge* margins.

I still wonder how different some of those states would be if they weren't caucus states. Hillary wasn't projected to win any of those states yesterday anyway. But California is going to be interesting, but that's not for a while yet.

It doesn't matter, the math still doesn't add up or come close to adding up.

It probably doesn't matter but this race is closer than you're making it out to be. After Washington distributes its delegates, Sanders will be less than 250 delegates (~10%) behind Clinton and will have won five out of the last six states to primary/caucus.

 

But it will take a small miracle in either NY or CA for Sanders to become a legitimate contender. I don't see how he wins either state but I didn't think he'd win 14 states by the end of March, either.

Him winning Cali or NY would be a major miracle.

 

He still can't win anything other than the white vote, this has been his problem all along.

Rolling Stone magazine endorsed Hillary, which really surprised me. The article about why was early quite good.
