F#@k the world.

The Chinese: Laugh at our naivete...took our manufacturing, while putting up barriers and stealing our intellectual property.

The Indians: We train them to take our Hi-Tech Jobs.

The Europeans: Want us to take up arms for them.

Mexicans: Invade brazenly while demanding services.

I say kill it, get it over with and bury this failed experiment. Call this country what it is, a greedy money grubbing plutocracy where people only care about "rich".

This country hasn't been about "the people" since the 70's.

Get real. This country has never been about the people. It's about the haves. The twist our revolution threw in is that everyone has the right to pursue haveness.

If they don't like who we elect, they can do what we do.

Invade us and install their own puppet.

Otherwise, they can STFU.

Trump is indeed a plutocrat, but if, God help us, he were elected, at least he would be a plutocrat who would be directly accountable rather than one pulling strings behind the scenes.

Actually of the three Trump is the most dangerous because he is the only one of them that could potentially be nominated and elected. The other two, especially Cruz, are effectively finished. Cruz can only hope to be governor of Texas someday after he leaves the Senate. Cruz only comes back after he has a sort of George Wallace conversion to the good and I don't see that happening.

Look, I get that, in large measure, Trump is a Rorschach ink blot where everyone sees the projections of their own id but you should be smart enough to see that too.

Your wrong in that being an isolationist doesn't preclude using our might to maintain our worldwide economic empire. From an empire's perspective Bush's DS/DS made that oil ours.

Don may be right about Trump being an isolationist.

Cruz and Rubio are both done.

Their arguments of how they have a path to the nomination are like the argument that a two and seven NFL team still has a path to the super bowl by way of a wildcard slot.

Good analogy.

Yet, this does not exempt him from consideration.

Rafael is comical in continually claiming victory, Opie, I believe, is playing for the VP spot on the tick. A wise move IMO.
