I mailed off my Idaho absentee ballot for our March 8 Republican primary today.
I proudly voted for "The Donald" for two reasons.
1. Rubio & Cruz make me want to puke.
2. Trump was the only Republican candidate in Nevada that resisted endorsing the Bundyites and their insane cowboy attempt to grab OUR PUBLIC lands for state & private takeover.
----- Do I hear "popping" noises??
I don't think Trump will win against Hillary, but if he does, I suspect we won't see another Hitler.

My god, he's got Fritz! Trump is the greatest "actor" I've ever seen on the presidential stage. Attracts everyone from Bubba right and left to his fellow billionaires. Hell even the previously anointed establishment, evidenced by Christy, is being caught up in the wave. I'm waiting for Cranksore to get on board before declaring game over.

Hillary win? Does that mean you're going to act on your theory and primary for Trump?
Another one bites the dust.

Colorado has been effectively disenfranchised by the Republican Party since no one at a caucus gets to state their preference in even a straw poll. Only delegates are chosen that choose other delegates up to uncommitted delegates to the national convention, where party elders get to manipulate results.
If I were a Colorado republican I would be pissed.

Everything he is doing is based on gaining more power, more money...
You say it like it's a bad thing.
A favorite Dylan song pretty much sums it up:
"Neighborhood Bully"
Well, the neighborhood bully, he's just one man
His enemies say he's on their land
They got him outnumbered about a million to one
He got no place to escape to, no place to run
He's the neighborhood bully.
The neighborhood bully he just lives to survive
He's criticized and condemned for being alive
He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin
He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in
He's the neighborhood bully.
The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land
He's wandered the earth an exiled man
Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn
He's always on trial for just being born
He's the neighborhood bully.
Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized
Old women condemned him, said he could apologize
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad
The bombs were meant for him. He was supposed to feel bad
He's the neighborhood bully.
Well, the chances are against it, and the odds are slim
That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
'Cause there's a noose at his neck and a gun at his back
And a licence to kill him is given out to every maniac
He's the neighborhood bully.
Well, he got no allies to really speak of
What he gets he must pay for, he don't get it out of love
He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side
He's the neighborhood bully.
Well, he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease
Now, they wouldn't hurt a fly. To hurt one they would weep
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep
He's the neighborhood bully.
Every empire that's enslaved him is gone
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon
He's made a garden of paradise in the desert sand
In bed with nobody, under no one's command
He's the neighborhood bully.
Now his holiest books have been trampled upon
No contract that he signed was worth that what it was written on
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health
He's the neighborhood bully.
What's anybody indebted to him for ?
Nothing, they say. He just likes to cause war
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed
He's the neighborhood bully.
What has he done to wear so many scars ?
Does he change the course of rivers ? Does he pollute the moon and stars ?
Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill
Running out the clock, time standing still
Neighborhood bully.

So it looks like it's going to be a Trump-Christie 2016 ticket.

Mitch McConnell: Republicans will drop Trump ‘like a hot rock’ if he wins the nomination
27 February 2016-09:34
In private meetings in Washington, Republicans are preparing for their latest worst case 2016 election scenario: Donald Trump might be their presidential nominee.
Normally at this point in the election cycle the GOP would be gearing up for attacks on their anticipated Democratic rival for the White House. But party leaders are so distraught at the idea of the blustery businessman heading the ticket, that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has taken to advising candidates to keep their distance from Trump.
According to the New York Times, McConnell is assuring Senate candidates running for reelection that they should feel free to run ads against Trump if they feel he is hurting their own campaigns. According to senators attending private lunches with the Majority Leader, McConnell is taking the approach that Trump will lose...

Looks like trouble is a brewing
Even Karl Rove is working on how to get rid of Trump
I suspect dirty tricks will start popping up
You don't want to get Karl's bad side

Likely. Humans being human. Egos being egos.
From Trump's perspective, all the more reason to have a card-carrying Christie on your side, earlier the better.
.....
Did you all catch the Bill Maher Hayden exchange last night...
If there's another US terrorist attack close to the election...
Trump wins. "It is President Trump." (Maher/Hayden)
"America is known to sh#t its pants."
In fact the whole clip is worthy...

If nothing else, it highlights that you can still get a Big Gulp and Quarter Pounder w Cheese, replete with trans fat in New Jersey. Christie can prove it.

TRUMP PLOTS REVENGE AGAINST NEWS ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE TOLD THE TRUTH
Trump claims he will have the power to revoke the First Amendment. If elected, he will cause "problems" for reporters and news media.
Trump is exactly the guy the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the First Amendment. George Orwell also predicted the rise of a Trump, who would establish a National Memory Hole for discarding the truth.
Trump wants to suppress journalists who report facts. Trump wants to suppress video tape of himself speaking.
Trump threatened to sue Ted Cruz for "defamation" when a Cruz campaign ad used used a video clip of Trump being interviewed.
Trump has repeatedly made outlandish statements, and then declaimed them later. He now seems intent on punishing anyone who brings forth a recording of Trump making a statement.
COMING UP NEXT:
Trump will promise massive concentration camps for Mexicans, Muslims and journalists.
Trump will call for massive gas chambers and ovens to "get rid of the trash".
He pretty much has nowhere else to go, with respect to making outrageous statements.

O.K.
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump orchestrates some kind of "Terrorist"
attack/scare, just to create more fear among the electorate. I wouldn't trust that guy, in the least. I'm sure everyone in Europe is appalled at the circus show over here.
