He's got a certain power over authoritarian Republicans. <br /><br />All the polls suggest that he'll be crushed by Hillary, and probably bring the rest of his party down with him.<br /><br />That said, you never know with elections, and even, say a 5% chance of him being elected makes me afraid.scottmprizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005945296255906630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-70184266582385075712016-03-01T11:09:55.623-06:002016-03-01T11:09:55.623-06:00The growing Hispanic vote will help Clinton.The growing Hispanic vote will help Clinton.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-71306110972810176742016-03-01T09:31:54.164-06:002016-03-01T09:31:54.164-06:00One of the Mitford girls reported that Herr Hitler...One of the Mitford girls reported that Herr Hitler was a charming host.

I don't understand how so many people are buying his line of BS. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I am an independent conservative (on fiscal policies), but I switched to the Republican party this year here in Colorado so that I can participate in the Republican Caucus today. There are no official presidential delegate counts in this year's caucus but at least I can express my views and possibly influence a delegate. On the Democrat side, it looks like Hillary has got it sewn up, but her email situation has the potential to derail her candidacy. It's going to be an interesting year.StanPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04565931744701836873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-47271468647671817172016-03-01T08:58:56.756-06:002016-03-01T08:58:56.756-06:00My comment was intended to apply to the question-a...My comment was intended to apply to the question-above-of whom intelligent people will or will not vote for.<br /><br />TE<br /><br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09641357239788323783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-91762272921412991322016-03-01T08:57:18.568-06:002016-03-01T08:57:18.568-06:00I know that Hillary can be quite charming in priva...I know that Hillary can be quite charming in private conversations, as I'm sure Trump can be as well, but of course everyone's favorite historical villain was a charmer in private too.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-73978561303000306182016-03-01T08:54:32.692-06:002016-03-01T08:54:32.692-06:00Yes, but when the time comes will they vote for Tr...Yes, but when the time comes will they vote for Trump or other occupants of the GOP clown car?
