March 14, 201610 yr Mitt Romney to Campaign With John Kasich - Yahoo Romney campaigning for Kascish in Ohio. This is disgusting. Kascich has no shot at the nomination and this is nothing more than an effort to damage Trump in defiance of the electorate. If Trump has the most committed delegates and is denied the nomination, I would say we no longer live in a democracy. I believe the constitution instructs what to do if this occurs!

In a true democracy Al Gore would be president... So fun fact, we never have
March 14, 201610 yr Mitt Romney Boy oh Boy, you Republicans sure must be scared of losing out on some big cash paydays. Romney, McConnell, please go the way of the dodo bird.
March 14, 201610 yr I don't think the constitution says anything about how a political party chooses ita nominee.
March 14, 201610 yr The Constitution doesn't come into play with how political parties select nominees. The GOP power brokers made the decision to institute winner-take-all state primaries at this stage of the selection process, so they have only themselves to blame if Trump wins all of the delegates in Florida and Ohio with less than 3/8ths of the vote.
March 14, 201610 yr In a true democracy Al Gore would be president... So fun fact, we never have Still...He'd have a 16 year term? That sounds more like a dictatorship than democracy. :lol2:
March 14, 201610 yr When Donald Trump loses in the fall, it will be interesting to see how all those complaining feel about these efforts.
March 14, 201610 yr When Donald Trump loses in the fall, it will be interesting to see how all those complaining feel about these efforts. What happens if the establishment prevents his nomination or he does win the nomination and also the national election? What kind of presidency and cabinet will he have? Can he reunite the country?
March 14, 201610 yr I don't see any way Trump can be a unifier. He has offended too many groups and people for that to ever happen. His only hope of accomplishing anything that he wants will be for the Republicans to win control of both houses of Congress.

The majority of people I talk to will choose him.
March 14, 201610 yr Author When Donald Trump loses in the fall, it will be interesting to see how all those complaining feel about these efforts. I don't know about that. His base is pretty motivated and very broad. The Hispanic vote he drew in Nevada was particularly eye opening. There are a lot of disenfranchised folks who have been compelled by their government to compete with 3rd world foreign labour, and I am one of them.

Nobody said separating the 1% from their money was going to be easy or unifying. Spinning the rolling back of free trade agreements and immigration enforcement as Fascism is the tool of the 1% to manipulate the 99%!

Maybe you can answer a question I was wondering about. How many actual Hispanic votes did Trump get in Nevada? I believe it was reported he got almost 50% but 50% of 100 is only 50 votes.

Historically, however, entrance and exit polls have not proved to be a reliable measure when it comes to the preferences of minority voters, particularly when the sample size was as small as it was in Nevada." Nevada caucus results: Trump scores big win - CNNPolitics.com The Nevada Republican Party reported Wednesday morning that more than 75,000 voters participated in the contest.

There are a lot of disenfranchised folks who have been compelled by their government to compete with 3rd world foreign labour, and I am one of them. Regarding the Nevada Hispanic vote idea....I believe I read that only 8% of registered Hispanic voters are Republican. If that's the case the fact that he won that demographic translates to roughly ~3-5% of the entire Hispanic population in the state. Not quite the earth-shattering statistic many see it as IMO.
