boomerangutang Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 One of Obama's duties, according to the Constitution, is to appoint a Supreme Court nominee if there's a vacancy. Republicans, including Mr. 'Delay Delay Delay' Trump are trying to stop him from doing one of his Constitutional duties.Also, it's very common for a president, whether or not a lame-duck, to opine about candidates for political office, including presidential candidates. I doubt you can show one example of a president in the past 100 years who has been apolitical near the end of his term. Obama has been quite reserved thus far. I'm impressed.

CWMcMurray Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Donald Trump lambasts 'rigged' delegate system "Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has described as "rigged" the way the US state of Colorado picks its presidential nominee." "They weren't given a vote. It's a crooked deal. The system is rigged, crooked. That's not the way democracy is supposed to work." "But Colorado decided to select its delegates in a different way, at its own state convention." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36018003 Boo Hoo. Welcome to the Machine. Should have read your history. (When they did it to one of their own, Ron Paul in 2012.) Hey Donnie, maybe you can get some of your mob friends to go and make them an offer they can't refuse. The Bloviator will never become President of the United States. Ain't gonna happen. You're not part of the club. And they detest you. Got it? Your history of shady business tactics and despicable associations are no match for the Big Leagues. Wether you like or dislike Trump or even Bernie... Is that a good thing? Should candidates for president be dictated by the 'machine' or the voters ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomerangutang Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 A recent chart. What's interesting is, among a sampling of all voters (not just one or the other affiliated sides), Kasich scores higher than Cruz or Trump overall - mainly because he has less negatives than the other two Republicans. This indicates Kasich has a chance to prevail if it (Republican convention) goes beyond a first ballot, which it likely will. Also note who scores the highest when the word 'terrible' is used: HRC (30%) and Trump (44%). Nearly half of US voters in the poll (covering all political parties), considered Trump 'terrible.' source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up-country_sinclair Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Trump lost all of the delegates in Colorado because he and his staff were unqualified for the task of winning the delegates in that state. Yes, the Colorado rules are somewhat arcane, but if you and your team can't figure out how to get the delegates, you're not qualified for the job. And let's remember that Trump "has a great mind. One of the greatest". And that he was going to have "the best people working for him". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try going a few sentences down and you will find: "But Evans also warned that if Trump slips much more, the nomination would likely fall to someone else." "If he gets less than 1,000 delegates, then I think we're looking at a contested convention that could go on for many, many days," Evans said. "And then in the middle, there's that grey area between 1,000 and 1,100, and that's where the unbound delegates or the delegates that have been released by other candidates, come into play to see if there are enough of those to get either Cruz or Trump over the finish line," he added. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/rnc-member-donald-trump-can-win-with-1100-delegates/article/2588378 Wait a minute, I get it, you just read the Drudge headline and didn't even go to the source did you?

Gary A Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 It appears that all the bleeding heart liberals have no idea of how the US government works. You seem to think that the president of the USA calls all the shots. The job of the president is to persuade congress to do it his way. This requires negotiating skills. Obviously Obama has clearly shown that he does not have that skill. He has never heard of compromise. Maybe you should read Trump's book, The art of the deal. The way things are going now is for politicians to trade pork barrel projects and to waste billions of dollars. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. Harry Reid has been awarded the Porker of the year trophy. All I'm certain of is that drastic changes need to be made. I'm too old to worry much about it but my conscience nags me that eventually someone will have to pay the bill for the astronomical overspending. That means that my children and grandchildren will own the debt that is handed down to them. One thing that is really disturbing is that an old communist has so much democratic support. That means that people are amazingly stupid or that they actually hate Hillary. Many years ago a wise man wrote that when people learn that they can vote themselves money, democracy is doomed.

Ghost writer of Donald’s campaign book confirms he’s just a blustery huckster"Donald Trump’s first campaign book, “The America We Deserve,” was published in 2000, when the real estate mogul began flirting with political office. Like most campaign books, it was not written by the person whose face adorns the cover. Instead, the 286 pages of gas came from a ghost writer named Dave Shiflett." "Trump is the well-to-do son of a real estate titan who, as Shiflett put it, “acts as if he had been raised in a barn.” The key word is “acts.” That’s what Trump is doing, and it’s working." http://www.salon.com/2015/12/23/can_we_believe_anything_trump_says_ghost_writer_of_donalds_campaign_book_confirms_hes_just_a_blustery_huckster/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publicus Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) One man, one vote certainly doesn't apply in the good ole USA. And no, I'm not replying to a troll. Maybe I am replying to one. There certainly is a troll running for the Republican party nomination for Potus. Political Troll Number One is and always has been the bottom feeder Donald Trump. Regardless, the principle of an entire population being represented in government was upheld unanimously by Scotus last month. The fringe extreme righwhinge out there had been attempting to exclude the non-voting population from qualifying for representation counts in constituent districts, to include children. The right had been attempting legally to change one person one vote to only those voters they like. One rightwinger one vote, everyone else, no vote, no representation in government, no nuthin. Fail. Supreme Court upholds ’one person, one vote' The Supreme Court has unanimously upheld a Texas law that counts everyone, not just eligible voters, in deciding how to draw electoral districts. The justices turned back a challenge Monday that could have dramatically altered political district boundaries and disproportionately affected the nation's growing Latino population. "Nonvoters have an important stake in many policy debates — children, their parents, even their grandparents, for example, have a stake in a strong public-education system — and in receiving constituent services, such as help navigating public-benefits bureaucracies," liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote in an opinion signed by six justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy. http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2016/0404/One-person-one-vote-What-Supreme-Court-ruling-means-for-states-video Rightwhinge justices Clarence Thomas and Joseph Alito agreed with the majority of six justices, hence the unanimity, however, the two agreed for a different reason (never say never even when never means never ).
