Anyway, Christie and Carly are out of the race. Just leaves Trump (17) , Cruz (11), Rubio (10), Kaisch (5), Jeb! (4), Carson (3).  1237 delegates are required to win.

Clinton has 394 delegates compared to Bernie's 44. 350 of Clinton's delegates are super delegates.

How exciting. Can't stop the Trump train.

Well according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U … population the biggest 38 cities account for 44,010,751 people, and you don't have to be a genius to work out that ain't 50% of 318.9 million (2014 US population).

In fact taking all 297 cities on that list you still only get a population of 90,492,150 less then a third of the countries population.

So there's another reason to stop using imperial maths. It's useless as fuck.

Donald Trump on Friday cited an apocryphal story about a U.S. general who purportedly dipped bullets in pigs' blood to execute Muslim prisoners a century ago in an effort to deter Islamic terrorism.

Speaking at a rally in North Charleston, South Carolina, Trump reiterated his claim that the U.S. should "go much further" than waterboarding suspected terrorists, telling the story of Gen. John Pershing in the Philippines, who Trump said captured 50 Muslim prisoners a century ago and dipped 50 bullets in blood.

"And he lined up the 50 people and they shot 49 of those 50 people, and he said to the 50th, you go back to your people and you tell them what happened -- and in 25 years there wasn't a problem," Trump said to the audience, which grew quiet as he told the story.

What an awful thing to suggest we do. He really is appealing to the worst of America's feelings.

And I am pretty sure the Filipino insurgency was a popular revolt by Catholics and Muslims alike. We committed genocide on the Philippines but later justify it by dehumanizing them and calling them Muslims.

Awful

I'm fairly certain the cited number of executed prisoners was exaggerated for dramatic effect. Also, Pershing had ordered Filipinos to turn in their guns, but I don't think Trump would wax nostalgic about that story to the 2nd amendment crowd.

250,000 on the low end to 1.5 million on the high. Probably somewhere in the middle. It just wasn't executed prisoners. We burned down and bombed villages for not cooperating.

In any case, I know the pig bullet myth gets passed around a lot but I don't think many people knew who the general the ordered it was. I doubt Trump knows who Pershing was even after he told the story.

Even if the Germans conquered the British, the English would still be better off than the average American. Let's not kid ourselves.

The war was almost over by the time the yanks turned up the first time, and the Russians did the heavy lifting the second time - the Brits saved themselves in fact with no help from anyone except Ben Affleck - having won the Battle of Britain and ze Germans giving up all thought of invading.

But you're right, Trump is the type to spout ignorant crap about subjects of which he has no knowledge. Its not hard to see why Americans see themselves in him

You're going to eat those words.

Barring something wholly unexpected - like Trump admitting the whole thing was a joke all along - Trump and Clinton will get the nominations and Americans will choke down the vomit as they elect their first (and last) female President.

Maybe Trump is like the spoiler in the bordello - the 50 year old dressed as Britney Spears who they bring out first to make the other girls seem better.
If Trump goes I think Obama would vote for Christie before Clinton.

Trump won the Nevada caucus. Delegate count:
Trump 79
Cruz: 16
Marco: 17

Trump's Nevada vote count is still more than the next two combined. Just goes to show you where the heart of American conservatives are. Not in a good place.

Trump published a seven-point health care reform plan that calls for repealing Obamacare, breaking down state barriers that prevent the sale of health insurance across state lines and making individuals' health insurance premium payments fully tax deductible.

The reforms, which Trump calls "simply a place to start," are aimed at broadening access to health care, making health care more affordable and improving the quality of care, according to the plan published on Trump's campaign website.

Trump also called in his health care plan for eliminating the individual mandate, which under Obamacare requires all Americans to have health insurance and which Trump suggested he was in favor of less than two weeks ago.

Instead, Trump's plan rests on more conservative ideas, like converting Medicaid into a block-grant program that would aim to "eliminate fraud, waste and abuse to preserve our precious resources."

Trump also links his health care proposals to his immigration proposals, which have long been the cornerstone of his presidential campaign.

"If we were to simply enforce the current immigration laws and restrict the unbridled granting of visas to this country, we could relieve health care cost pressures on state and local governments," Trump proposes in his plan.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/02/politics/ … index.html

Repeal ACA and block grants. Same old conservative idea as before. Trump once again has zero appeal.


I know people hate watching debates but this was a good part from the last one where Rubio stumps Trump. This is why he released this stupid plan.

Seems some of the GOP are trying to find a way to come around on him because they don't have a choice.

It also seems like some are turning against him cause... the obvious.
