How strange. Trump wins in the Republican Nevada Caucuses & that is good for OUR continued shared ownership of OUR Public lands.
Of course, I'm just thinking of Idaho, where whatever you think, this state always votes for a Republican for President.
I'm jest picking the least insane Republican candidate that might win the nomination.

Years of rightwing conspiracy theories turn inward...just loving it!!!
Now that the cat's out of the bag, I'm thinking some serious gop cannibalism will likely break out by Super Tuesday.
Bernie and Hill should just take a long vacation until after the GOP convention...

After Trump wins in November, I'm moving to Nicaragua. That's the new cheap place to party after Costa Rica got too expensive. Best to watch the next American Civil War break out from a safe distance. Which States do you think will leave the Union this time?

Trump's supporters cheered when he said he wished he could punch protesters in the face, have his goons attack them, and carry them out on stretchers. Trump invoked the "good old days", which I suppose he means 1930's Germany.
Trump also says he is going to emulate China, North Korea and other repressive regimes, by shutting down parts of the internet he doesn't like.
He says shutting off the internet is necessary because the United States is "at war". But, Trump is "at war" with many, many groups and people he doesn't like. Any detractor or "enemy" is going to be targeted.
Trump claims he will get the people in Silicon Valley to gain control over internet access, which is odd, considering the vast majority of people there favor internet freedom, not censorship.
Presumably, Trump's vast concentration camps for illegal aliens will have plenty of room for dissidents and uncooperative internet engineers, too.
Trump says he will shut down parts of the internet if he is elected

pyro posted Leberals heads are going to EXPLODE..
So you're formerly embracing bigotry and as#@&%ery as core conservative traits?
Trump has a political history that is completely incongruent with the core conservative values that have defined candidates for the last 15-20 years. Trump is basically demonstrating that there are many Republicans who don't care that much about abortion, taxes and family values so long as their sense of national and racial identity is sufficiently placated.

Donald Trump is the new Hitler and this time next year the nukes will rain down worldwide as his nuclear style diplomacy ushers in world war three.

Wrong. It's not liberal heads that are exploding. Liberals are quite confident the dem candidate--likely Hillary--can beat him. Conservative politicos heads' are exploding because they believe this too.

To think an angry selfish prick like Trump could do well for nearly four hundred million people when he has subjegated everyone he's ever known is pretty far fetched, but then, I'd rather be nearsighted than narrow minded.
The true story of his part in all the fallings out in his relationships with ex wives, ex employees, and other people he has sued is protected by a wall of his lawyers and sealed documents. The American people may never see how many backs he's stabbed and walked over until it's too late.

Anger is a good motivator and Republicans have had 7 years of being whipped into a frenzy by their godheads on the AM radio dial. Add in Fox and a black president who most of them think is a Muslim and you have the perfect environment for a virulent nationalist like Trump.
If you're thinking he can't possibly win the White House, think again. Look at the turnout he's generating. His "stick it to China" schtick appeals to working class white voters - and they can tolerate the bigotry. Sure, his candidacy could generate the same reaction from Democrat's and Independent's looking on in horror...but maybe not. Maybe they won't vote in the numbers you think.
It's time for level-headed people to tone down the anti-Hillary rhetoric. We are in a war for the future of our country.

He apparently won't need to. There's enough people with hate in their hearts that believe his lies to go around.

I wish our President, would try and defuse this. It's fueled by a perception among much of the electorate that "Washington is Broken". A meeting with the powers-that-be in Congress, from Both sides of the aisle, would be a good start.

well, there's the problem, right there. Consensus and discussion, aren't even considered.
Fortunately, either a Trump Presidency or a Clinton Presidency, promises to be less ideological and more pragmatic than the last 16 years.

I still think that if Sanders does not get the nod, his supporters will not vote for Hillary. They don't see the bigger picture.
Hello President Trump, goodbye US, for me.

One other thought. Which one of trumps supporters will shoot him when he doesn't get the wall built, doesn't deport Mexicans, and doesn't stop Muslim immigration?

He will get the wall built. If he is elected. Even to some sort of financial finagling, that Mexico will pay for it. Here in nyc, we have a long experience with him. He gets things done.
As far as the larger question, it would be unwise to discuss on an open forum.
