I realize he's motivated many, many people to not accept status quo from the their government.

Well, what I can say about Trump is that he is blowing up the GOP. At the end of the day, that may lead to a better national politic. We have been in need for a change in how things have been the last 20 years in politics.

Both parties need to "blow up". It's all about power and money. Fuck America.

Seems odd to hear criticism of power and money coming from you...

Hillary? Giving up on Kasich?

He's a quitter

What a media set up. Wall Street ain't going to stop giving to her because she picks Warren. The set up will make her look like she is standing up to Wall Street when she picks her.

Warren might appease the Bernie supporters to some degree but I think picking her is huge mistake. Is the country ready for a woman/woman ticket?

I don't think so

I don't see her picking Warren. No need to go that far left.

Regardless of my general political tilt, I don't understand this ruling...

Bennet from Colorado, Warner from Virginia, McCaskell from Missouri, Booker from Massachusetts (all have Democratic Governors to replace them). I want to see Al Franken from Minnesota but it won't happen.

As for Trump, should be Kasich, but I doubt he would accept it. Don't know who he could get to run with him. Maybe Marco Rubio

Starting to hear a whisper campaign that will expand that Trump is lying about his wealth. He'll eventually have to release his income tax returns I suspect.

Once he does he's fucked. That's why he's refusing. The guy is an idiot. Yeah, what we need is more people with guns in bars. So fucking stupid.

funding is his biggest issue.

He has no intent to spend the kind of personal money Mitt Romney spent to win the white house

Wendy Bell, A Pittsburgh Anchorwoman was fired for saying this

""You needn't be a criminal profiler to draw a mental sketch of the killers who broke so many hearts," Bell wrote March 21. "They are young black men, likely in their teens or in their early 20s. They have multiple siblings from multiple fathers and their mothers work multiple jobs. These boys have been in the system before. They've grown up there. They know the police. They've been arrested.""

based on a murder that took place in a bad neighborhood.

She contends that if she had been black, she would not have been fired and is suing for racial discrimination.

Interesting approach.

I've heard that for years. Seems like I read somewhere that groups with the real money use his name and notoriety to set up a casino or a building somewhere and then pay him some fee for use of his name, but he doesn't really have any real ownership stake...

She should just stick with Joe Biden. Not sure if that's ever been done before, but he seems pretty popular, get along well with Senate repubs and is a known quantity. Plus the experience. Not sure if he'd want it, though...

"Regardless of my general political tilt, I don't understand this ruling..."

From the article:

"Sotomayor was joined by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Justice Elena Kagan filed a separate dissent, noting that outstanding arrest warrants are not distributed evenly across the population but concentrated in cities, towns and neighborhoods where stops are most likely to occur. Some 16,000 of the 21,000 people living in the town of Ferguson, Missouri, have outstanding warrants."

16,000 out of 21,000 have outstanding warrants? Damn...

I think I would have burned wherever they keep the records during those riots.

Tax returns do not show wealth. They just show income. Income manipulated by salt of the earth tax professionals seeking to hold up the constitution and allow Americans to keep most of what they earned through legal means. I have many real estate clients and the value of their holdings is so subjective that I am sure there would be no way to pin down their actual worth.

Trump is broke.
