Yes they have..and it has never made sense.

That could likely rub any potentials the wrong way. I am still wondering what desperate for attention politician would want to hitch their wagon to that idiot.

I've already provided links in this thread to the proof.
Really? Where?
I'm not going to say his campaign has been well run, it hasn't. He has been far more successful than even he thought he ever would be and his campaign wasn't prepared for that. But that doesn't mean he's not entitled to point out the flaws in the system.

As for the rest, well maybe the self destruction is a good thing, because I don't know if you've noticed, but the status quo isn't working out too well for the majority of people.

Does seem that the Dems are imploding.

Didn't see any violence there. One video showed someone shouting and being pulled away. The others were unrelated and showed when someone had some sort of medical issue, even the WaPo says as much.

This is the most fascinating election in the history of forever. If it weren't for the fact of Donald Trump potentially driving this country into the ditch, I would really be enjoying the show.

Re: 2016 Election
 

So the latest polls say that if Hillary and Trump get to face off the result would be too close to call. On the other hand if Sanders and Trump get to face off Sanders would beat Trump.

So Sanders becomes President and Sanders has to work with Paul Ryan, poles apart in just about everything imaginable.

If you think gridlock has plagued Washington for the past 7-1/2 years you aint seen nothing yet.

Then of course if Trump did beat Sanders then we're all really screwed

Bad moon rising !

If you believe The Daily Caller, the Kochs are going to put their money behind the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. That could make things interesting.

Any Libertarian party candidate has about as much chance of winning as the Flat Earth Society.

Rand Paul and his dad, long time Libertarians knew this and ran as Republicans

Re: 2016 Election
 

Oh, I don't think he'd win. But with a decent chunk of cash and as an alternative to Trump he could get a decent number of votes.

Re: 2016 Election
 

Do as they may but there is no chance of stopping Trump getting the nomination. He has multi millions of supporters. Any efforts to deny him that would only be seen as interfering in the democratic process. Like it or not the GOP are stuck with him. The only thing that would knock him
down between now and November is if some great big scandal involving himself should occur.

If Hillary weren't such a mediocre candidate she would be way ahead of him in the opinion polls. The man is a disgrace, racist, woman hater and even if a smart businessman totally ignorant of national economies and foreign policy. The ignorance of the latter is astounding. How would he ever expect to defeat ISIS for example if he makes it his business to turn the whole Arab world against him by his policy towards Muslim immigrants?

"A delegate for Donald Trump was indicted Wednesday in Maryland for illegal transport of explosives, illegal possession of a machine gun, and child pornography offenses. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Caleb Andrew Bailey, 30, attempted to illegally ship weapons to an unidentified man in Wisconsin; and that between March 2015 to January 2016, he used a minor to produce child pornography. Bailey faces a maximum of 10 years for the explosives and firearm, and 30 years for the child porn. ABC7 News reports that Bailey acts as a delegate for Trump in Charles County."

Re: 2016 Election
 

So what you are saying is that essentially by extension, all Trump delegates are probably criminals? Or am I misreading that?

Re: 2016 Election
 

The GOP may be stuck with him, but giving Republican voters another option will lessen Trumps chances in the General Election. Just as Nader opened the door for GWB. Hillary is not a done deal, I suspect many Democratic voter may not show up for the election. I'm very conflicted myself, in the end I shall probably hold my nose and vote for Clinton.
