Now the scared little Oompa Loompa has just called on Kasich to drop out, accusing him of syphoning Oompa Loompa votes

Trump does look tired.. He's finally understanding just how difficult the journey is running for President..
He just needs to chill for a few weeks.. Rejuvenate and go hard at it again.. He shouldn't be going on talk shows or interviews unless he wants to talk about how he supports women rights.. He's not gonna win Wisconsin now according to the polls..

Funny thing about all this is is Trump was never serious when he entered.Trump does look tired.. He's finally understanding just how difficult the journey is running for President..
He just needs to chill for a few weeks.. Rejuvenate and go hard at it again.. He shouldn't be going on talk shows or interviews unless he wants to talk about how he supports women rights.. He's not gonna win Wisconsin now according to the polls..Comment -
Trump solid + money now at Betfair -- around +110.Comment -
I'll give this much to Trump -- it's not as if he's treated this as a second job. He seems to do nothing else 24/7. Guy is on Twitter 18 hours a day and does interviews left and right. So I'll give him that. He's not lazy. But if he spent a little more time learning and a little less time talking he might be better off.Comment -
Can't argue there..
It's hard to get caught up to speed when going against politician lifers with years and years of political experience and when your own party is basically against you, etc.. Donald Trump has had the crash course thus far, he hasn't had any political experience up until now and I think he's done great..
Now that the Don is tiring out and getting faced with hard policy questions and while still trying to please the republicans voters he has slipped now with his recent "punish women with abortions comment" etc...
The Don needs to chill, reset and restart now.. Let some time pass.. He'll drop in the polls some more but he is not out of this thing by any means.. No need to panic just yet...Comment -
Don is most likely thinking "holy shit, I might actually win this. My god the GOP really does have a lower IQ!"Comment -

His comments have nothing to do with anything, he's said stupid stuff every single day since his campaign started and rose in the polls. Its the media demonizing such 24 hours a day along with panels discussing it making it seemingly a big deal when its not, knowing the sheep will follow along that does the trick. Same thing with 24 hour a day airing of things such as Michael Brown, gay marriage acceptance, and mass shootings. Manufactured consent is the order of the day and works every time on Americans.Comment -
Media does influence tremendously with both parties.... Plays on your emotions.. The media does control the viewer when it comes to politics.. I've noticed that for years. That's why I'm Independent and have to watch both sides such as CNN and FOX to be grounded or I just get upset and pissed off if I watch one way or the other and that's it.....
All leaders make mistakes and many do certain wrongs to stay politically correct even though it goes against what is morally correct.. That is most disturbing..
I think Obama pulled troops out of Iraq because he had set a dead line to do just that.. He did and Isis rose up.. Bush Jr had an obligation after 9/11 to get payback and go to war and he did that for the American people.. Our leaders are influenced by pressure as well to deliver...Comment -
ISIS didn't just rise up due to a void of our military
ISIS is a radical terrorist group that is funded by the Saudis, the same Saudis that funded Bin Ladens nice little group that decided to fly a few of our planes into a few of our buildings. This has everything to do with religion. ISIS is a nothing more than a hit squad for Sunni Saudi Arabians with billions of dollars. Ironically, our CIA and SF's were involved in training some of them.
It's more than just "we left and ISIS rose up"Comment -
No because I just get pissed off.. I need to try and just live my life and not worry or get angry so much about world affairs.. You can go nuts thinking about all the wrongs in the world..
If America has to be the world police we are screwed, because there are too many wrongs going on in the world today, from Russia, Middle East, China, N Korea, West Africa, Russia aggression, etc...
That's why I am on board with Trump, build walls, close borders.. Start taking care of America and it's own people...
Live out the American dream, feel protected and get the home land improving in other words. Just gotta keep the Nukes away from the crazy dictators and religious gangs of the world should be our goal now...
You know what though, I'd like to think I'm a smart guy and am well informed but I just don't have the anwsers to getting closer to world peace in this day and age..
I just watched 60 minutes tonight and how the German Prison system works, they don't punish they just try to rehabilitate and it looks like that works.. Prisoners are treated incredibly well, own apartments and privacy basically.. Germany has a low crime rate in turn.. Not sure that's gonna last with the Syrian crime wave going on now.. Like to see how the German criminal system is working 3 years from now...Comment -
I saw that segment too.....mixed feelings about it though
If someone I cared about was murdered I would hate knowing that they are living the easy life in prison and will be out in 20-30 years....what about the victims here?
I believe in rehabilitation for people that make bad mistakes or commit crimes that don't directly kill/severely hurt other people....but they can kill the truly evil murderers on the spot and torture them before that tooComment -
Yep I have mixed feeling too.. Our prisons are packed though and the tax money we spend on jails, probation, court, crime enforcement, etc is astronomical... 25% of Americas people are incarcerated if you can believe that.. 1 out 4 people are in jail here in America... That's just crazy!!!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...rceration_rate
It would be nice if there was less crime and less incarceration like Germany I can't lie... I believe in capital punishment though..Last edited by JIBBBY; 04-04-16, 12:11 AM.Comment -
I think the mixed feelings are accurate
It comes down to what is the point of jail, to punish you for the crime you committed, or to rehab to become a contributing member of society
I think the answer is both, prison has to do both
What is punishment though? Is it hard labor? If so, lets pay the north koreans to take our prisoners and be done with it. But the reality is, that doesn't do much for rehab in a healthy way.
I think we're finally recognizing how fukked up our entire prison system is, and Bernie is sounding off on it. And rightly so IMO
Who knows what the right answer is, or even if there is one. Probably just opinionsComment -
'Currently Cruz has only 463 delegates. Even if Cruz wins Wisconsin, which is a state whose delegates are winner take most (WTM), he still will not have enough delegates to win the election by April 26th.
This is in part because New York is leaning heavily towards Trump who leads according to polls listed at Real Clear Politics by as much as 36%. New York has a Republican primary where the delegates are split proportionally. So even if Cruz wins a third of the delegates, it won’t be enough. This is because come April 26th, there are five Republican Presidential primaries and three of these are winner take all (WTA). All three of these states are in the East where polls show Trump leading (Maryland and Pennsylvania) or there is no polling available with the state highly likely leaning towards Trump (Delaware).
Even if Cruz wins a third of the delegates in Rhode Island or Connecticut or any of these states, it will not be enough to keep him mathematically in the race.
(Chart by Joe Hoft)
Based on current numbers, come April 26th, Cruz will need 687 delegates to win the election but only 634 will be available.
Then Cruz’s only chance at the end of April to win the election is the highly unlikely scenario where Trump doesn’t gain enough delegates to win the nomination outright and that the Republican elites in a contested convention support Cruz.
If Cruz hangs on and doesn’t concede to Trump at the end of April, like Kasich is currently doing, Cruz comes across as unrealistic, out of touch and a sore loser.
Overall based on the numbers, because it is highly unlikely East Coast Republicans will vote for a Canadian- born Texan for President over a New York billionaire, April will be Cruz’s last hurrah. But on the bright side Ted, you will always be welcomed back home in Canada.'

My solution would be to rehabilitate those that made bad mistakes....Robberies, DUI, manslaughter, major white collar issues, things like that
Kill people much quicker that are 100% are guilty of multiple murders, major crimes against children, the lowest of the low.
I would also decriminalize all drugs....cut out all the gangs and over-population with prisons. If people want to ruin themselves with certain drugs then that's their prerogative. Not like heroin and meth being illegal is stopping the millions using now. Use the money to help rehabilitate these people
Weed still being illegal is insaneLast edited by MoneyLineDawg; 04-04-16, 12:26 AM.Comment -
I think Cruz is just playing the role of spoiler now
Trunp took a cheap shot at his wife, Cruz would love nothing more than to see Trump burn at the convention
Cruz isn't dropping out, even if it means he's not the candidateComment -
Well then if you must assign blame then put it on both Presidents then and don't just side with Obama or Bush..
I never thought we should go to war against Iraq in the first place but after 9/11 I was like let's get some pay back.... I think most American people felt that way after 9/11.. Should have just went after Al Queda only looking back.. It's like our 1000's of American troops that died in the Gulf war was for nothing today.. Almost like Vietnam but on a smaller scale with worse results in the aftermath..

Everyone already knows Cruz can't get 1,237 and is playing the convention game. But he does need to be careful about what he says about Kasich. He ought not be calling on Kasich to drop out because Kasich can't reach 1,237.'Currently Cruz has only 463 delegates.

I know Trump says some stupid things at times But I am going to vote for him tomorrow because the establishment is against him. I really think the inside people in politics are scared of the changes that will be made and the cuts in washington's DC elite that have all the cushy jobs that all they have to do is be there. Those jobs don't produce anything . Hoping he does away with all the free loaders. Department of education, limit the EPA ,NSA ,CIA, FBI all three lettered programs.Comment
