    In a lot of ways Cruz is the really scary one, having a card carrying member of the Christian Taliban in charge of the biggest nuclear weapons stockpile on the planet is not a pleasant thought.

    But does he actually do that? Take a look at what's raised in PMQs and in his interviews:
    • Was his question about the 10,000 people originally promised free childcare who won't get it about Palestine, the IRA, or the Falklands?
    • His question about teacher recruitment?
    • His question about classroom overcrowding?

    If a plasterer in Romford saw that and preferred Cameron's puerile jibes like "Acropolis Now" it isn't because he's talking about things that are relevant and important to them.

    It does strike me that yourself and many others who criticise Corbyn seem to do so for spurious or imagined reasons; I'm sure I could come up with a dozen legitimate concerns about him, so I'm really not sure why people feel the need to make up ones.

    Yes he does do that. Not in PMQs but Mr Corbyn does regularly raise those things in interviews.

    Trump... not really aware of the others... I suppose whichever has the most money will win as usual?

    Well Cruz is basically a born again version of Trump. Which, from a UK perspective, makes him even crazier.

    It normally helps. But let's have a look.:)

    Here's the money race according to the NYT.

    Interesting that Trump is equal last in the money race. And that Sanders has spent so much trying to keep up with Hilary.

    I reckon Trump's donors have got value for money from the $25m spent so far. A lot more than the $130m odd that was squandered by that Bush fellow anyway.

    is the consensus in America then that the more money you spend getting into the White House the better president you'll be? (ie you want it bbbaaaddd!)

    Trump knows how to play the media. Creates the news. Then uses the interview generated to his own advantage. Not as stupid as he may appear......
