You said it. Watching other people talk when you can just get the info for yourself.

T rump is evil. Any party that nominates a buffoon like Trump deserves a landslide loss. Hillary is smiling tonight. Just as she planned.

Why does #rubot keep making victory speeches when he loses?

If Trump continues with his momentum,there will be a serious attempt on his life.Too much money and power at stake to allow him to succeed.


You are right.

Those so inclined might want to pray for the safety of Donald Trump.

No - Vanity just passed away last week, God rest her soul.

Try not to speak ill of the dead, UCANSEE.

Ted’s lying has consequences. I bought his book “A Time For Truth”. What a farce, I wish I could get a refund.

Yes, knocking out the front runner in both the D and R primary and in the final in both Presidential and in lesser races is a frequent topic and always has been.

After Newt won SC, there was a very focused coordination of the media and other candidate organizations to knock out Newt.

When Reagan was leading Conally and others in 1980 Connally and others spent massive amounts of money to knock out Reagan. Sometimes the effort succeeds. Sometime it fails.

I watch TV at the health club. All the channels were breaking in with news of Hillary’s win. Even interrupted the golf game for it.

When David Duke stopped campaigning as a Democrat and ran as a Republican.

Crazy... people should be excited that Trump is in the lead due to the people voting for him and supporting him. Its the first time since Reagan that we haven’t had a candidate shoved down our throats.

Speak for yourself. I'm still a conservative.
