Trump is your next president, it will be nice to see America great again in 2016

[Tenacity]

You like Trump?? He is a proven white supremacist and you like him?

I didn't really get that from him, could you provide more information?

The Michigan primaries were yesterday and I voted for Trump.

I was shocked as hell though to see that Bernie Sanders beat Hillary in Michigan?? The polls showed Hillary with a 15 - 17 point lead over Bernie heading into the primary, how in the hell did Sanders beat her? If Sanders keeps it going, he could close the gap with Hillary to where they could be fighting it out for a much longer period of time than people thought they would be. I still think Hillary is going to get to the 2,383 delegates before Sanders though.

On the GOP side however, Trump is pretty much the dead lock at this point. Kasich will lose Ohio to Trump and Rubio will lose Florida to Trump, which will pretty much spell the end for their campaigns. Cruz is likely to stay in all the way until Trump gets the official 1,237 delegates.

It looks like a Trump v.s. Hillary showdown, if this were 6 months ago I would say that Hillary was going to win it. But, as we continue down the road here, I think Trump is going to steal away some democratic votes as well as Hillary's voters might not come out in large numbers to vote for her. This is going to slide Trump in for the win potentially.

But it's a toss-up. But have you guys actually sat down and looked at the TOP FOUR candidates left?

- Trump: He's almost 70 and spends more time talking about himself than he does his policies.

- Cruz: Ultra hard right tea party guy, the youngest standing at 45 years old.

- Sanders: Ultra hard left socialist that's almost 75 years old.

- Hillary: She's almost 70 and has so much corruption tied to her that it's unfathomable.

Both Trump and Sanders are tapping a vein of populism. Most citizens, taxpayers and voters know that the DC elites disconnected from us decades ago. They just want our money and our children's' money to line their pockets and grease their donors.

If you didn't get that DC Democrats and Republicans are the same thing after Mr. Obama advocated and coerced his own party into passing the Trans Pacific Partnership, you either didn't or didn't want to pay attention.

I'm not at all sure that whoever is President or in the DC power elite won't do the same even if it is Sanders or Trump or whether the democrats or republicans have majorities in one or both legislative chambers.

So all that's left is to de-fund the bastards.

It's because it's not true.

The people who hate Trump mesmerize me. Their reasoning is that he's a white supremacist, misogynist, name-calling anti-muslim. Yet he's none of those things (I wish he was more anti-muslim than he is). Black people have come out saying Trump being a racist is laughable. Women love the guy. But yet, they are going to vote for a female establishment crooked politician. It really is unbelievable.

People (mainly the white social justice warrior Republicans) who want you to know they are 'moderate' are weak and cowardly IMO. I nearly view them as liberals. I can at least respect the liberals though, because they have chosen a side. Lukewarm, spew you out of my mouth, etc.

 

[yuppee]

Trump aint even started to roll, yet. Rubio's dead in the water, as is Kasich. Cruz won't do much better, cause so many hate his guts. He can't even beat trump, so htf can he beat hilary. The CIA HATES hilary for compromising all their people with her laziness, greed and arrogance (ie, email server). So she looks like a candidate for the "heart attack gun". Right before the election (or soon after, depending upon who's her VP

I'm wondering if anyone who drops out at this point is going to endorse anyone else. If Sanders lost the nomination, how could he tell his supporters to go vote for Hillary, after he just spent a year telling everyone she is owned by corporate America? Rubio and Cruz have called Trump a phony, a fraud, a con man. How do they later endorse that same person for president? I don't see it happening.

 

[Bible_Belt]

I just read that in winning Michigan, Trump even won the majority of the "evangelical Christian" vote. This is the same man that the pope singled out and said was not a Christian.

More or less happens in every election - both parties. It's a bit more strident this year. But the last thing any of these shills want is to be shunned by the party that let's them live like rock stars while pretending to be public servants.

Yeah I'm just not getting the Trump is a racist argument either, but Trump is running on the Republican ticket so black people are going to consider him a racist in general. It's completely insane to me as to why every single election, black people have to ONLY (and I mean ONLY) vote for the Democratic candidate.

It's so bad now that I don't even tell black people who I vote for, especially the black women I date. A black chick could be laying in bed giving you a blow job, if you tell her you voted for (insert any Republican here) she is likely to get up, put her clothes on, and storm out of the house. I'm not exaggerating with this either, I've had black women tell me to LOSE THEIR NUMBER for voting Republican, and they were fvcking serious.

In the black community being a thug, drug dealer and gang member is "ok".....but if you vote Republican then they will recommend that you be shot down in the street.

Most people have no idea what Trump says much less what he thinks or believes. They get their 'news' pre-digested from news sources (that want the status quo ante preserved AT ALL COSTS), already biased sources like HuffPo or Newsmax or, worst of all, social media.

I don't like any of the candidates including Trump. But the way he's being portrayed in virtually all media is a joke.

People vote in their own self-interest. Democrats favor social services, which go to poor people, who are disproportionately black. Put a Republican in charge, and the first thing he will do is cut those services. That's why there's not a lot of Republican voters who are also on welfare. They are trying to use their vote to lower their own taxes. That's not any different than voting for the liberal who will give you welfare. It's all about economic self-interest.

Whose interests are you supposed to vote for if not your own?

While (especially urban) African-Americans, are 'over-represented' when it comes to federal largesse, the overwhelming amount of that largesse goes to 'whites'.

I don't think that most Americans resent 'welfare' and support assistance to those that cannot care for themselves due to disability, illness or temporary dislocation (which in total would amount to less than 5% of the population). It's multi-generational (now essentially permanent) welfare that is corrosive to individuals, communities and the nation. By the time you add up all the subsidies for income, food, housing, medical care and the like (most of which is not called 'income') you'd need an employment income (excluding medical benefits) of nearly $70,000 a year in many urban communities. Unless you can match that in the economy, you'd be a fool to work and that's before you start adding in under the table income.

IDK BB because a lot of the welfare services put in place were established by Republicans like Ronald Reagan. The issue though is not all black people are on welfare, there is a black middle and higher class that also religiously vote Democrat just as "Tyquesha" and "Pookie" do.

The black community has always seen these issues as an all inclusive one, where either we all vote Republican (as we did decades ago) or we all vote Democrat. There's really no room for individual nor independent thought in the black community.

Just like the thug/ratchet/rap game has taken over the black community and just about every black person, no matter if you are Pookie/Tyquesha in the hood/inner city or Steven in the suburbs, just about every black person props up a THUG as the leader or alpha male of the community...similarly to how Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are propped up as leaders.

It's fvcking stupid to me, I'm my own damn leader. Messy Jackson and Al "Not So Sharp-"Ton are not my damn leaders!

Yeah BB sort of rattled off a 'duh' answer there. I think the bigger question is, why do blacks continue to place themselves in a position where it's beneficial to vote Democrat? I've gotten to the point to where I can't really talk to my black buddies anymore over this political stuff, even the ones who have succeeded. They've completely went anti-white and if I disagree with them, they just blow up. It has driven a dagger, no doubt. They feel they are owed something, no matter how stupid or illogical they sound. They just don't care.

I know a lot of black folks. I grew up in a majority black town and I do business with many black people. I don't know ONE that is voting Republican (in person, Tenacity and Ben Carson don't count as me 'knowing'). Some will probably not vote, but NONE will vote conservative. Zilch. Nice people, yes, but when it comes to the 'cause', they are all-in. And they are middle class!

This is true, I remember Maximus Rex called you a b*tch-ass n-word simply for disagreeing with him not too long ago.

Tough situation you are in. No doubt you are going to face some backlash from the black community for your beliefs. But you will probably face some passive racism if you hung out with white people only. I don't know, man. If you lived in the ATL I'd hang out with you!

If we declare war on Mexico, doesn't Texas get to secede? I think that's how it works. They can make Ted Cruz their president.

Bob Woodward: Journalist Asks Donald Trump How He Would Get Mexico to Pay for Border Wall

Woodward ask Trump if he would go to war to get Mexico to pay. “Trust me, Bob, when I rejuvenate our military, Mexico’s not going to be playing with us with war," Trump said on MSNBC Wednesday.

People vote in their own short term, ultra myopic misguided self-interest. Democrats favor social services, which go to poor people, who are disproportionately black. Put a Republican in charge, and the first thing he will do is cut those services. That's why there's not a lot of Republican voters who are also on welfare. They are trying to use their vote to lower their own taxes. That's not any different than voting for the liberal who will give you welfare. It's all about economic self-interest.

Fixed for you. A welfare state that can only fund itself by sucking the lifeblood from the productive members of society is not in the long term interests of anyone. Teaching a man to fish is better for him and everyone else. When the house of cards collapses very few people win.

Ask Greek Pensioners how decades of profligate social spending have been in their "economic self interest".

I've been a proud registered Republican since age 18. I've helped local guys campaign. Proudly stood by the party all this time. But the establishment's treatment of Trump has been pushing me towards the door to leave the party. Romney's cr@p recently has left me standing in the doorway with the door open. If Trump gets enough delegates for the nomination and the GOP says or does ANYTHING at that point to go against the collective word that the people have spoken with their votes, I am OUT and will go Independent. DONE. Not going to stick with the GOP or any party that just says "f*** the will of the people".

I don't disagree as a matter of theory, but I think we reached the point of no return a long time ago with the welfare state. Right now there are millions of people who depend on that guvment check for their food, housing, utilities, and healthcare. What are they supposed to do if that were to all get shut off? They'd have no choice but to storm the Bastille and put someone's head on a stick. Chicago has a higher murder rate than Baghdad right now, and that's with welfare. Imagine if all those people started starving to death. It would make Syria look like a happy place. When you join ISIS, they promise to feed, clothe, and take care of you. We've got to at least match the other side's offer if we want to compete.

Maybe that's why the gov't keeps building those giant FEMA camps. That's the emergency they are preparing for, the welfare state collapse.
