I think having Trump and Sanders in the race is the best thing to happen in American Politics in a long long time.

They are both skaking up the status quo and that's a good thing IMO.
Not by me. Bernie wants what's good for you and me. Trump wants what's good for Trump and fuck everyone else.

Agreed. He could have put that reporter in his place in a more tactful way.
If that's the way he plans to deal with world leaders if elected, we are in a heap of trouble.

Then we are on the same team. I want Bernie too.

I'm never going to vote for Trump and I sure as Hell won't be donating.

Dude doesn't need it anyway.

I doubt the sum total of what I can afford, which will go to Bernie, would be enough to pay for one of Trumps ties.

But I'm still going to be pulling for him to get the Republican nomination, if only because I know it will make Jeb Bush cry.

What if Kanye West was a rich white guy from NYC?

Here's the ejection video.

I don't see what the problem is.

What is he supposed to do?

Let Ramos take over like BLM did to Bernie?

Thanks, I was looking for that one.

Overall I think Trump and his security person handled this is a polite, firm, professional manner.

It certainly was better than what happened to that college kid at the Kerry event in Florida.

I think letting him back in & indulging all of his rants was far more than Ramos deserved.
Than again, you think Hillary puts herself out there.
