So, Trump likes guns.

Again? It's about the 5th time he's adopted that stance. Oh that's right. The race shifts to some folksy Midwestern states. The north east is over.

It's all about the sex appeal I thought. See present Prez and the medias oral fixation. The new way to the White House is to say what people want to hear which all depends on where you are at. To hell with an actual moral stance which that in of itself is very skewed nowadays.

Cruz drops out, or suspends his campaign, after crushing defeat in the Hoosier State. Trump could reach the required delegates to secure the nomination. Trump can thank the men voters for this victory.

Could reach?

Dude. He's the nominee now. Nothing is in the way now. He will romp in California.

Friggin shameful all of this is. Trump can think misogynistic bigots for this nomination. I would vote for a paper bag full of dog shit before I cast a die his way.

See this is what presents an issue for trump. You will have a big piece of principled people (whether you agree with them or not) sitting at home or voting 3rd party now. Trump is going to have to pull some independents and blue dog dems over in good chunks. It's possible but I do think he has an uphill battle. We could see an election like 2000 where the dem wins popular and the GOP wins electoral.

You do not understand grass roots America at all.

It's like I think it and you type it 5 minutes before I type it in another thread.

If "grass roots America" produces that, I don't want to.

Grass roots is now being a billionaire pandering to the masses.

It used to be small donations and large ground games from regular citizens ala the Bernie and Cruz campaigns.

They are all billionaires and millionaires. What is your point?

Right. You don't have a point except that you hate Trump.

Go ahead, waste your vote. And then pound your chest and let everyone see your piety.

No one mentioned hating anyone. Just stating the obvious. And no, looking at their tax returns the two latter candidates are not in fact billionaires. Not even close.

It's not an indictment of anyone. Just an observation. Typically grass roots has historically meant having lots of volunteers on the ground in lots of places and getting small donations from lots of people, starting with nothing. That's all izzz saying. If Trump is grass roots then I'm saying the definition of grass roots has changed a bit. 

Cool your jets for a minute Trigger. No one is mad atcha.

[bottomfeeder]

Grassroots has changed to pissed off.

You pretty much said the same thing I did but in lesser and different words. But he "liked" yours. You should feel honored.

They are still career politicians.

I am completely against career politicians and the way Washington is run. You shouldn't be able to make a life long career out of a job that was originally intended to be a "service to the people".

I agree totally. But I do realize guys like trump, Perot and Eisenhower are the exception. Not everyone can go straight to the White House like that. You either need to be super rich or super exposed outside the political realm like Ike. Most have to step their way into it by virtue of past experience and climbing up the ladder incrementally.

Career politicians and insiders? Let's take a look just for good measure.

Kasich was elected in the 80s. And served over 20 years. Now is a governor. - yes

Bernie has been on Capitol Hill for 35 years. Before that mayor of Burlington Vt, before that was a bum protestor - emphatically yes

Cruz has been in DC for 3.5 years. Before that worked one term as solicitor general of tx and in private practice the rest of his career - not hardly.

Rubio has been in the senate for 5.5 years and his one term will end in January - no.

Jeb, Christie and some of their ilk - absolutely.

Trump - never held political office - no

Aside from rubios gang of 8 slip, I think he and Cruz have done everything they can while in DC including filibustering rogue legislation. 1/2 people can only do so much alone. They did what they could. I don't consider them nor Rand Paul the problem. They all fought the problem.

Agreed. That is why the GOP didn't want Cruz either in my opinion.

Kasich OUT!
