If Trump is not nominated the Republican party will be a goner and Hillary will be your leader. Take that to the bank grasshoppers.

Hmm... Bernie forever <3

Poll: Trump beats Clinton head-to-head




A new poll finds Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton losing to four top Republican presidential contenders, including Donald Trump, in hypothetical general election matchups.

Clinton trails Republican primary front-runner Trump by a 45-43 margin head-to-head, according to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Wednesday.

Clinton also loses to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), 45-44, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), 48-42 and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, 49-38.

Her Democratic primary rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), fares slightly better against the GOP competition, besting Cruz by a 44-42 margin.

But Sanders still loses to Trump by 1 point, 44-43, Kasich by 3, 44-41, and Rubio by 4, 46-42, head-to-head.


Many of the results are within the poll’s 3-point margin of error.

“Bernie Sanders is closing the Democratic primary gap and is stronger than Hillary Clinton in the general election,” David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, said in a statement.

Paleologos also highlighted Kasich’s strong showing in the general election match-ups, on the heels of his second-place finish in New Hampshire.

“On the Republican side, John Kasich’s strong second-place showing has made him more appealing in the general election than Marco Rubio, who faltered in the Republican debate leading up to New Hampshire,” he said.

The USA Today/Suffolk poll surveyed 1,000 voters by telephone from Feb. 11–15.

Yeah and only the welthy could afford any of those, the other ones were just dying in the street.

Though in the case of the USA, I have to admit it didn't change this much...
Such is the natural process of life. A secondary market for many of those things continue to be developing. Knowledge and increased connectivity/cooperation continues to optimize costs. Now nearly has access to transportation etc. If the wealthy who are in the position to utilize resources to build those things, didn't build them to satisfy a demand in the market, we'd be progressing a bit more slowly.
Wonderful so now humanity goal is to take example of natural process? Whaou, me who always thought that the first goal of humanity was to get elevated above nature and its rules... Seems I've been wrong my whole life!
As above, so below...

And could you explain me how did you have an army without taxes? Cause nobody ever managed to do that ever....
From my Roman lit class, a lot of motivation for war came comes from want of loot. Mercenaries are a thing, too.

Yeah so America managed to pay the army with donationsHuh Wanna make me believe this??

I'm just giving an example of how it's possible to have an army without involving taxes.

In the Revolutionary War, one could either move West or be free to affiliate with a colony and be voluntarily subject to their own tax laws, laws of which they would presumably have representation with. For the colonists, they decided that it was in their best interests to raise armies against an oppressor who they felt impeded their personal growth.

But too often we pay armies through debt.

Voluntary contribution i.e. noncoercedly paying dues if you find it in your interests to do so.

Ok so how do you pay the army for example? You hire soldiers and you tell them "ok everyone, you might get paid if we have enough donations. If we don't well you'll have to eat your hands but we might get enough don't worry!"

That is what militias are for.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..."

A militia is a group of people volunteering for being the police no? You want this all around your country you sure? xD

The More Donald Trump Defies His Party, the More His Supporters Cheer

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — Mark Jebens, a veteran of 22 years in the Marine Corps, found no fault with Donald J. Trump’s scathing criticism that President George W. Bush “lied” about weapons of mass destruction while leading the United States into war in Iraq.

“At the end of the day, a lot of good Marines and sailors and airmen died over something that wasn’t there,” said Mr. Jebens, who served three combat tours in Iraq. “So you’ve got to ask tough critical questions. In the military we called it a debrief or a hot wash.”

Mr. Trump’s hot wash of Mr. Bush in a debate on Saturday, including a suggestion that he did not heed intelligence warnings before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, convinced many Republicans that Mr. Trump had finally gone too far, tarring a former president who is popular in military-friendly South Carolina, and uttering charges that Rush Limbaugh, for one, called “liberal Democrat lingo.”

But numerous military veterans interviewed at Trump rallies in South Carolina this week, including Mr. Jebens, said they had no problem with Mr. Trump’s comments, even if they did not entirely agree with him.

At the same time, the stubborn popularity of Mr. Trump, who defies Republican orthodoxy on issue after issue, shows how deeply the party’s elites misjudged the faithfulness of rank-and-file Republicans to conservatism as defined in Washington think tanks and by the party’s elected leaders.

So I've watched some more of Trump's appearances, and I've concluded that he does have a number of good qualities:
- He probably actually believes in what he's doing
- He probably actually doesn't have ulterior motives
- He will probably be mostly opposed to war and foreign entanglements
- He will probably try to reduce taxes and eliminate many regulations

But also some worrying things:
- He believes very strongly in protectionism, including tariffs and currency manipulation, which would have negative effects on freedom and the economy. Not sure how negative - maybe very severe, maybe not so significant.
- He believes in "freedom" to some degree, but not nearly as much as even many Republicans do. He might pursue anti-free-speech policies, etc.

It's likely that all other mainstream candidates except maybe Cruz are even worse, though... And Trump will probably have quite some difficulty actually getting anything done when forced to work with congress (this is very good in my book).

Some libertarians say that Sanders would be the best because he'd be good on foreign policy, absolutely ineffective at actually implementing his socialist ideas due to Congress, and a better "straw man" for libertarian arguments. But I'm not sure that I'm convinced.

I have the same view of Trump. Though, a lot can change in the next few weeks/years.
