    Trump swept the board yesterday, I've a thread that has tracked his rise, and I personally think he will be POTUS. Only he can shake up the cosy status quo and bring back jobs to the US. Hillary is just more of the same old and wont change a thing.


    I realise he's a bit nutty, ok a lot nutty, but the outsider / think outside the box type that is capable of change is worth the risk
    I'm not even convinced Trump will get the nomination.
    Cruz said the other day it's not over and he's picking a VP's when there's not even enough delegate's left for him to get he nomination. So he must know something we don't or he's just BSC. But IMO this has made the Republican party so divided it will be Hillary for President.

    Trump is the start of the paradigm shift people yearn for. The tired political establishment's services are no longer required across the west.

    :rotfl:

    Clinton is crushing Trump in the polls....

    Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

    .
    That's true because most woman, like Ivana Trump, would have kicked their husband to the curb. But Pro Woman Hillary took an active roll in taking his accusers down. I believe the term was a scorched earth approach to these women and their families.

    Not as much as they hate Trump. Women do hate Clinton as well, but not as much as men hate Clinton.

    For some strange reason the US has a democratic system that seems likely to produce two presidential candidates that nobody likes.

    Who was the last president Americans actually liked? Reagan?

    If Trump doesn't get the majority of delegates, the nom will be decided at the convention. What Mr Cruz is counting on is Trump not winning outright and then winning it there.

    He won't go down as a great president, but if we're talking about popularity before the president entered office, Obama would have to be up there.

    And if it goes to that stage, Cruz can count on the whole-hearted support of influential Republicans.

    True but this Primary season has been everything but normal.
