Well....all I'll say at this point is, for most of the primary Ted Cruz looked an awful lot like he was running for the slot of Trump's running mate. To be frank, I wonder if that really was his intention - until some of his supporters (donors?) held his own feet to the fire.

Neither Cruz, nor Kasich will be Trump's running mate. I am sure about that. They were involved in too much mudslinging, to be considered for the VP pick. Also, right now Trump needs to attract the centrist voters. Most of the conservative voters are going to vote for him anyway (they don't have much of a choice). So IMO, someone like Rand Paul would be a good option.
I must have seen Rand Paul talk thirty times and like him but will disagree.  He's in the shadow of Ron Paul, and is to a degree viewed the same way. 

But there is a truly massive number of high caliber men and women out there at this time who would work.

While we're at it, who are our favorites?

Imagine Trump and Ron Paul!

And of course, the mainstream folks would see that combo as Trump's assassination insurance. Wink

Saudi Prince Begs America to Reject Trump











    A Saudi prince has urged Americans not to vote for Donald Trump in the upcoming general election.

    Turki al-Faisal, who served as Saudia Arabia’s ambassador to the US from 2005 to 2007, spoke against the presumptive Republican nominee during a foreign policy dinner in Washington, DC on Thursday.

    He blasted Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from entering the US, which the billionaire first formulated in December last year before renewing his vow on Wednesday.

    ‘For the life of me, I cannot believe that a country like the United States can afford to have someone as president who simply says, “These people are not going to be allowed to come to the United States,”’ Turki said according to the Huffington Post.

    ‘It’s up to you, it’s not up to me,’ Turki added. ‘I just hope you, as American citizens, will make the right choice in November.’

    Turki, who went to Georgetown University in Washington, DC, isn’t currently part of Saudia Arabia’s government but serves as the chairman of the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies, a cultural organization that conducts research in politics, sociology and heritage.

We're not going to get him talking about who his country refuses to admit and why?


No. We do not want to hurt his feelings.

That is where I, and I expect a lot of his more sophisticated supporters, will be holding his feet to the fire.

Just a quiet word of warning. Trump very blatantly detests disloyalty. If you do hold his feet to the fire, it'd better be under the rubric of "You're not holding up your part of the deal."

And if you get back the reply that he is holding up his end of the deal, best if you think carefully about escalating. At some point in an escalation, The Donald will decide that he's well within his rights to "Fight Back."

Fair enough and very well.  Trump is smart enough to figure out the source of his power.  We should be always watchful to identify whether he seeks a substute.  And be ready to beat him to the punch if he does.


He would NOT WANT us to have to say....

"You're FIRED!"

In other news, Trump is making noise about 'making deals' on U.S. government dept.  i.e., 'defaulting'.  Naturally the mainstream media is denouncing this as insane and unthinkable.

My opinion is that it is 'insane and unthinkable' to expect that the U.S. will NOT do exactly this at some point.  It's pretty much baked into the cake and everyone who is economically literate knows it.  The only question is how the haircuts will be distributed.  The Globalists already had this figured out, and the 'bail-in' plans are already on the books and you cannot turn around without bumping up against a story about a 'cashless society.'  The nervios tremours rippling through the system are associated with how much Trump will adhere to these plans.  For my part, I have hopes that he will totally up-end them.

I would implore our current leadership to take advantage of Trump's utterances to explain the impending collapse.  In this way we won't need a WW-III to get the banksters and politicians off the hook.

BTW, precious metals are up, and Bitcoin is basically the same thing as gold/silver/cash for the purposes of this type of default scenerio.

We are talking about parties like the french FN and germanys AfD.

It is very logical for russia to support these political parties cause they are weakening the EU and making it harder to build a opposition to russias/putins dream of being a big empire again.

What else would you expect? Lotsa Trump supporters are cool with it, even if it makes them appear as if they jumped on the Trump Train from the turnip truck.

Something like this was inevitable. Ya think Carl Ichan and Lloyd Blankfein don't have each other on speed-dial? Friend of a friend?

And besides, the nom is now a done deal. It's Trump's train, so he's steering it towards Centerville. The first rule of Trump train is that there's only one person in charge of Trump Train. And in Trump's variant of New York values, a done deal is a done deal. You can play the peacock as much as you want during the negotiation, but once the deal is done it's done. It's a commitment.

Trump's part of the deal is to win the general. The base's part of the deal is to stick by him. A deal's a deal.

And now can anyone of you people explain me why trump would/should remember even one of his promises if he gets voted in?

He is already backtracking now should be obvious how the future looks like.

Oh and btw. Russia supporting trump should be a really bad signal.
Just look at europe and which parties get money and support from russia.


Well anyway a weak USA means rest of the world gets stronger i guess.
Care to elaborate on that?  I happen to think Russia and the US should be good friends and allies in many situations.

Pretty much all right wing parties in europe especially in the eu get money support or similiar from russia.
Do you live over there?

So what does this mean?

In their parlance is "right wing" something fascist or nazi like, or simply fiscal conservative?
