I don't know, Micky, the crazies are coming out of the woodwork in droves. I was listening to a call-in discussion on the radio today, and you would be shocked at the number of people who have no idea what Trump's platform is (I don't believe he knows either), but who support him because he's that guy on TV who says it like it is. And they admit, on the f*cking radio, they don't know what his foreign policy is, or his ideas on taxation, or literally anything about him. It is absolutely scary what this nation is becoming. It's like a damn Stephen King novel.

Have to say that Trump manages to make Modi look like a wimp centrist and that's saying a lot. The mind boggles reading the things he says. Yeah...Democrats are bad for India but I'd still like to see Sanders win. But from talking to relatives in the US, I too agree Hilary Clinton has a much better chance against Trump. The only thing is that Hilary v/s Trump might leave young voters both confused and disinterested. My cousin sis is a Sanders fan but she doesn't have a vote...oops!

Last time I checked Trumpie's website, he had five issues rather sketchily outlined, and nothing else on policies whatsoever - at least that was easy to come across.

I remember when I lived in Europe and was able to treat it as a spectator sport. For the life of me I can't understand now why on earth we moved back here. If someone had told me that someday Donald Trump would be a presidential candidate I suspect we'd still be living in Amsterdam today.

Bernie carried Oklahoma! I can't believe it. I've never voted on the winning side of an election here and never thought I would. Plenty Native Americans that are left of center here, but they don't come out much to vote. I'm down around Lawton, by the way. I visited OSU once. Quite a nice campus.

“Boy, were we wrong,” Union Leader publisher Joseph W. McQuaid wrote in an editorial. “Watching Christie kiss the Donald’s ring this weekend — and make excuses for the man Christie himself had said was unfit for the presidency — demonstrated how wrong we were. Rather than standing up to the bully, Christie bent his knee. In doing so, he rejected the very principles of his campaign that attracted our support.”
Later Tuesday, six New Jersey newspapers — all owned by Gannett — issued a joint editorial calling for Christie’s resignation.
“We’re fed up with Gov. Chris Christie’s arrogance,” the papers wrote. “We’re fed up with his opportunism. We’re fed up with his hypocrisy.”

I was listening to the radio yesterday and the guy's comment was "you know how dumb the average American is and then you realize that half of the country is even dumber than that and that is why Donald Trump is receiving so many votes."

Good for them.

this is a fictitious interview with God (in German) in which HE complains about what we earthlings attribute to him (like earthquakes and ebola) or do in his name (like killing other people). he also threatens to include our planet in his next skip refuse if Donald Trump becomes president and admits he is a fan of Jessie J. (bad musical taste, oh Lord, if you allow me to say so) and threatens to put our planet under quarantine if Helene Fischer does another Christmas album (this statement mediates his bad musical taste somewhat)
