“We're going after Hillary Clinton”, says Trump as Cruz leaves the primary

Full article 139 comments

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz cleared the path on Tuesday night for Donald Trump to claim the Republican presidential nomination, suspending his underdog campaign following a crushing defeat in the Indiana primary, allowing the billionaire businessman to effectively leave the raucous primary behind and turn his attention squarely to the general election.“We’re gonna win in November,” Trump said.

    I'm laughing so hard right now..... a populist president..... how very Latin American.

    Chavez, Lula, Kirchner, Dilma, Maduro.... Trump!

    This will creates years of articles on here. How the tables are turning. Argentina loses a populist and gains a pragmatist president and America does the opposite.

    A lot of strange things make you laugh
    Fools laugh a lot
    Was Reagan or Thatcher a “populist” leader in your feeble mind?

    Austrailia may have to start paying for its own defense.
    That will make me laugh hard

    I seem to remember that a lot of people on here didn't think Trump would make it to the nomination.
    He's pretty close now

    Hillary is still being dogged by an avowed Socialist spending $ she was planning on using for the general election and going harder left than she wanted.
    and now Trump is going to go after her incompetence and criminality.

    Donald Trump answers the question: what is 2+2?

    “I have to say a lot of people have been asking me this question. No, really. A lot of people come up to me and they ask me. They say, 'What's 2+2?'. And I tell them, look, we know what 2+2 is. We've had almost 8 years of the worst kind of math you can imagine. Oh my God you can't imagine it. Addition and subtraction of the 1's and 2's and 3's. It's terrible. It's just terrible. Look, if you want to know what 2+2 is, do you want to now what 2+2 is? I'll tell you. First of all the number 2, by the way I love the number 2. It's probably my favourite number, no it is my favourite number. You know what, it's probably more like the number two but with a lot of zero's behind it. A lot. If I'm being honest, I mean if I'm being honest, I like a lot of zero's. Except for Marco Rubio, now he's a zero that I don't like. Though I probably shouldn't say that. He's a nice guy but he's like, '101o1000101', on and on, like that. He's like a computer! I don't know. I mean, you know. So we have all these numbers, and we can add them them and subtract them and add them. TIMES them even. Did you know that? We can times them OR divide them, they don't tell you that, and I'll tell you no-one is better at the order of operations than me. You wouldn't believe it. So, we're going to be the best on 2=2, believe me”.

    And protecting their “markets” isn't one. We don't export enough to bother with that.

    I would bet Trump will put in very conservative cabinet and high gov't officials to get elected. If he chooses Kasich as VP he's got the midwest.

    It's hard to comprehend any thoughtful, educated American supporting Trump. There are not even posters on MP who support Trump. One thing is certain, It is a good thing for Trump that there are so many uneducated people in the USA, as Trump himself declares, “ He loves the uneducated”. Without them, he is far less than he is now.

    The talk of a 3rd party and/or write in candidate moves into play.

    Should be an interesting campaign to watch worldwide. Both candidate have dislike ratings over 60% and both will be involved in court hearing; Hillary with the standard opposition claims and Trump with his fraud case.

During downtime I asked every single one of them their views on the presidential campaign and every single one said they were embarrassed by Trump no matter their political leaning. So you have a point that it isn't the educated, thoughtful Americans supporting Trump.

    Trump is indeed a populist and dangerous candidate. Whodathought the U.S. would sink so low? YB/Lucifer has been completely wrong about the last two elections so let's hope he will score a hat-trick.

    There is no one, absolutely no one from this news board who supports Trump for presidency. All of it, if you read carefully is not more than rhetoric. Besides, it took Reagan years to shift parties. I hardly doubt that Trump is as conservative as some Americans think he is. Either way, the most liberal tend to gravitate toward the center as does the most conservation.
    Even the patron saint of the GOP Reagan increased taxes 7 times in his 8 years in office, tripled the federal deficit, added 300,000 employees to the federal government, gave amnesty to over 3,000,000 illegal immigrants, funneled weapons to Iran and Nicaraguans, supported Apartheid by vetoing legislation against it but was overridden and last but hardly least, created and trained Bin Laden......thank you Mr. Wilson.

    37. Yes, just as president Ronald Reagan said in 1981. “Trees cause more pollution than automobiles do,” he opined. A little later, environmental scientists ruefully confirmed he was partially right. In hot weather, trees release volatile organic hydrocarbons including terpenes and isoprenes - two molecules linked to photochemical smog. In very hot weather, the production of these begins to accelerate.

    America's Great Smoky Mountains are supposed to take their name from the photochemical smog released by millions of hectares of hardwoods.

It’s going to continue to push through these dry conditions until we actually get some significant rain to help us.”

    So your ”expertise” is greater than his. A rather conceited notion. What IS your expertise in this matter ?

    What difference would an earlier evacuation have been to containing the fire.

    The coffeemaker and Stupid Canuck1 debating intelligence
    I'm surprised you're not laughing Skip?
    Since this is actually funny
    Or is it pathetic?

    A false premise is an incorrect proposition that forms the basis of an argument or syllogism. Since the premise (proposition, or assumption) is not correct, the conclusion drawn may be in error. However, the logical validity of an argument is a function of its internal consistency, not the truth value of its premises.

    For example, consider this syllogism, which involves an obvious false premise:

    If the streets are wet, it has rained recently. (premise)
    The streets are wet. (premise)
    Therefore it has rained recently. (conclusion)
    This argument is logically valid, but quite demonstrably wrong, because its first premise is false - one could hose down the streets, the local river could have flooded, etc. A simple logical analysis will not reveal the error in this argument, since that analysis must accept the truth of the argument's premises. For this reason, an argument based on false premises can be much more difficult to refute, or even discuss, than one featuring a normal logical error, as the truth of its premises must be established to the satisfaction of all parties.

    If you ego was not so large and overwhelming, you would have some room for dignity and self respect, but that is long gone. All of this chatter of who you are and your other persona's, WHO CARES?

    What is known is that you are a self centered egotist. We can understand Trump's over inflated ego. He at least accomplished things amidst his failures on his daddies fortunes. Your accomplishments? You conquered Merco Press with multiple sign-ons? That's right up there all right. You probably cannot recall you failed predictions and what lead you to run off and hide, thinking in the near future you will return again.

    How's you buddy Singer doing? And your Argentine predictions?

    What Reekie can't seem to understand is the next Rg Prez has all the same unresolved problems Nestor did in 2001 but with nothing to steal.

    What's coming is much worse than 2001

    There are so many of these Argentine predictions from you.

    No matter, we know all what you are Yanqui

    As an American with such a remarkable pedigree (hehehehehe-eyes rolling over) are you voting for Trump?

    I would say that you are not voting for Trump.

    Spankingboy (who now calls himself Lucifer - tired of spanking, are we?) asks :

    “Why are we protecting the EU? What's our national interest?”

    Even Spankingboy should be able to imagine what would happen to American interests, if the US was completely isolated. Only Toby can make similar suggestions.
