#1 Smoke, mirrors, intrigue, rumors and innuendo.

This is fast becoming the most fascinating election I've ever seen!

#3 Does anybody else think Rubio is a little too concerned with hand size?

#5 I hate to remind Rob Taylor that Trump compared Ben Carson to a pathologically unstable person "a child molester, a sick puppy, a child molester" back in November of 2015.

Rubio is showing how ill tempered and unsuitable Trump is by goading him. Its not Rubio that seems concerned with the size of things, its Trump who reacted like a 12 year old in public.

Perhaps Trump should be more concerned with fascist statements about ordering our military to commit war crimes and they must obey becuase he is Der Furher, oops I mean The Leader... "I'm a leader. I’ve always been a leader. I’ve never had any problem leading people. If I say do it, they’re gonna do it. That’s what leadership is all about." He has no clue about military leadership, jsut scummy business practices and being a Boss not a leader.

Take his lying to the rubes backing him on immigration, when he has advocated and abused H1B and H2B visas. Now he is "flexible" on immigration, and admits he told the NY Times that the immigration stuff was just an election ploy? Hey Trumpites, how it feel to have been played?

The issue is not Rubio, its the duplicity of Trump that should be of concern. You cant get more silver spoon establishment than him (born rich, uses the government and crony capitalism, harvard etc), yet people delude themselves into seeing anti-establishment somehow.

Rubio is finished anyway since he apparently cannot win his home state. So now its down to a split convention or else Ted Cruz.

If not Cruz (Or in a brokered convention possdibly Kasich or Rubio), then its Hil-liar-y vs Tantrum Trump. With either of those two, big government, K-Street and the insiders win, while constitutionalism, small government and individual freedom lose.

Wake up and wake those around you who are Trump followers before its too late.

#6 How much do trolls get paid?

The real issue is as Noone wrote, the protected (and connected) vs the unprotected. If it was a constitutional republic the other issue would be important. However, we blind ourselves intentionally because we 'believe'. No different than the socialists. No, there is no 'right' man to make it all work again. We're past the period of a nation of laws, those only apply to the 'little people' to keep the game going. It's really a choice of 'champion' as it was in Rome. The others all represent in one way or another the establishment which has no need for 'consent' other than you paying your taxes on threat of loss of liberty and giving over your sons and daughters to defend their power (cause they don't give up theirs). You get to choose Caesar, Pompey, or Crassus.

I thought I was watching the process fairly closely, but I don't remember any of this. Link please.

#9 Not a troll, probably the last gasp of someone that believes in fighting until they can fight no longer. Better that than cynical surrender, yes?

#10 Trump likens Carson to a child molester

#11 Ref #10, I now remember this interview. An unfortunate turn of phrase in reference to a potentially incurable mental condition, but I do not think Trump intended to label Carson as a child molester.

#12 Carson seems more qualified to be surgeon general. Trump needs to select a VP that has good track record of success in politics and governing (not necessarily in Washington) since Hillary has no experience in management and Trump has no GIVERnment experience.

#13 #6 Nil desperandum, P2k, nil desperandum. I figure: if Russians could kick out the communists and Israel could kick out the socialists (few people realize just how strong a hold the Israeli Labor party had on Israel's economy & social institutions); there's hope for you. Of course, it'll probably won't happen at the ballot box---sorry.

#14 Trump needs to pick a life insurance VP; like Bush's Cheney.
