T'Rump and the Teanutz should go third party. The Chamberpot of Commerce Repubs don't have their best interests at heart.

I & most Rightys don't have the establishment types best interests at heart. That's why we're going to get rid of them. They can get their own 3rd party.

I am a small business owner and cannot fathom what the Republican Party can do for me other than pay lip service. I used to be a member of SBA until they went all in for Bush2 in his second term. Dropped my membership then.

Good luck with that endeavor.

A view of Mr. Trump's campaign from this issue of The Economist:

I'm not really big on conspiracy theories, but the presence of Donald Trump on the campaign has made Megyn Kelly appear to be a fair and balanced journalist and most of the other GOP candidates appear reasonable. Is that intended to be his role? Have you seen how mean and condescending Kelly can be in her interviews? It strains credulity to now see her as a victim.

Regards,

I honestly do not watch television news - it is so horrible I can not bear it - infotainment. I suffer through the local news with great difficulty in the morning to make sure the apocalypse is not upon us.

I usually read The Economist, N.Y. Times, and Novaya Gazetta (when available) and catch breaking updates on the radio.

Trump signs pledge which just forces the other candidates to support him when he gets the nomination.

.

He has a clear path to the nomination too.

He's doing well in Iowa and New Hampshire.

And after that the Republican primaries head south to the states of Ye Olde Confederacy, where he is golden. By that time he has so much momentum going he will be virtually unstoppable.

What this pledge accomplishes is to make it virtually impossible for the establishment to deny him the nomination via a brokered convention.

I'm loving every minute of this.

I want to see the look on Jeb Bush's face when he has to endorse Trump as the nominee.
