    I am sure the US will be fine even if they laugh at us.

    And you greatly overestimate the power of a president.

    Most of Trumps "crazier" ideals will be slimmed and toned down by congress, who likely isn't too big a fan of him either.

    It's interesting to look at it from past projections. If the dems win the states they've won since 1992 they only need 28 electoral college votes from other states to win. For the gop it's 168.

    That's because Kaisch is a closet liberal.

    For one thing, he'd have to enact a fuckton of eminent domain, and you can bet that there's going to be a lot of unhappy people about that. It violates multiple EPA acts, including the endangered species act to not develop on endangered wildlife habitat. It would majorly interfere with watershed acts.

    I'm not really sure why you even try, considering you've never once shown yourself to be competent in knowing about laws.

    Only if you completely discard what words mean.

    Kasich's pretty far-right. He may seem moderate compared to the extremists he's competing with for the nomination, but he's further right than Romney or any of the Bushes.

    Well, so far 10,056,690 million Americans think Trump is just fine.

    But don't worry Endus, he will never win so don't you worry your pretty little head about it. Go right some other wrongs.

    That is the funniest thing I have read all day. Thank you.

    But I suppose coming from folks such as yourself, Sanders must be a far right too.

    I remember that when WoD came out I tried doing that gladiator arena on my mage, and my epic strat was just to ice block while everyone else killed each other, which obviously didn't work. That's basically Kasich's campaign in a nutshell.

    Kasich is much too polite. He comes off as he is smoking weed or something.

    Politics is dirty. There is no escaping that reality.

    And 13,988,308 Americans think he isn't. And it's not "10,056,690 million" for Trump unless you are using TrumpMath.

    BTW - just a little food for thought...(even though neither Romney or McCain ultimately won the Presidency)

    http://www.politico.com/blogs/twelve...-record-222510

    With his five blowout wins Tuesday night, Donald Trump has passed Mitt Romney’s popular vote total from four years ago and is on a trajectory that could land him more Republican votes than any presidential candidate in modern history – by a lot.

    Trump surged to more than 10 million votes, according to totals that include Tuesday’s preliminary results across the Northeast. That’s already about 250,000 more than Romney earned in the entire 2012 primary season and 153,000 more than John McCain earned in 2008.

    More significantly, Trump is positioned to easily pass the modern record-holder, George W. Bush, who collected 10.8 million votes in 2000.

    That presents an uncomfortable reality for anti-Trump forces: they’re attempting to thwart the candidate who is likely to win more Republican primary votes than any GOP contender in at least the last 36 years, and maybe ever.

    In an email to POLITICO, University of Minnesota political science professor (and Smart Politics blogger) Eric Ostermeier noted that only eight candidates have won more than 7.5 million Republican primary votes since the advent of the modern primary and caucus system. Ronald Reagan won about 7.7 million votes in 1980, the fewest other than George W. Bush’s 7.6 million in 2004, when he didn’t face a primary challenge.

    George H. W. Bush clocked in at 8.2 million votes in 1988 and 9.2 million in 1992, while Bob Dole earned 8.4 million in 1996.

    Polls in a nutshell

    Doesn't surprise me one bit.

    It's fascinating to watch everything unfold.

    I wonder how many records are being broke by all the spending on anti-Trump efforts.

    Kasich ran on the premise of "breaking the back of organized labor in schools." He has cut more than half a billion dollars in funds to public schools each year. He signed into law a provision that prevents rape crisis councilors from mentioning or referring victims of rape to abortion providers.

    Anti-union, anti-education, dangerously anti-choice.... yeah that just screams "liberal."

    I have no earthly idea how you can think Kasich isn't heavily right-wing. Never seen anyone else make any such claim. It's just so obviously incorrect.

    Sure, Sanders is moderately left, but so what?

    Can't say either of those things I care about. I don't own land nor particularly care about endangered species / the environment, so why would I need to know those rules you listed?
