If after Super Tuesday he manages to be cream of the crop, what does that say about the current Republican establishment and voting bloc?
Absolutely nothing. Because any answer I give can also be given in the case of either Clinton or Sanders.

If you want to tie Trump and the Republican establishment/voting bloc together, then I will do the same:

Clinton winning the nomination = democrats/liberals not caring about the law or American lives.
Sanders winning the nomination = democrats/liberals wanting everything to be free and having somebody else paying for it (hmm, sounds like the Mexico wall thing with Trump...).

Let me ask you this: Do you like your own tactics used against you?

You can be 100% against Bernie Sanders politics but damn if that guy isn't an idealist after living the DC life for a lifetime. That's admirable because most of us would have pussied out decades ago.

So, Trump is racist but Sanders is an idealist? Even though they are making the same pitch?

There is no free lunch in the book "free lunch"




Twelve-year-old Mike is looking for a safe place to escape from the real world. Like Peter Pan, he seeks a fantastic sanctuary where he can stay without worry. Tomas Immega's amusement park, Dreamland, provides a completely immersive theme park experience, and seems to be just what Mike is looking for. Soon after escaping the guest tracking system, Mike meets Annie, a midget known as the Mother Elf, who has eked out a living in Dreamland for thirteen years caring for the park. Annie takes Mike in, but all is not well in Dreamland...

If we are comparing ideologies with books, Sander's is a classic case of George Orwell's Animal Farm.

Remember: All animals people are equal, but some animals people are more equal than others. -George Orwell

Funny enough, it was a socialist who wrote about how bad socialism is.

Animal Farm? Why not go full Huxley if we're going dystopia?

Orwell is dystopia lite.

Let's repeat that. Communism isn't socialism. Public roads are socialist. The USSR was totalitarian communism.

Social Security is a socialist program. Stalin came up with it on one of his weekends off but deemed it too nice so he shipped it West in a letter to the US.

Voila. Stalin is the reason old people get to gamble their lives away at the casino while living in squalor. Thanks Russia!

Edit: You know what, after reading the post below this one, I have come to the conclusion that Spath is a raving lunatic.

No point in arguing with him. He is certifiably insane.

Go full Giuliani. Coast on 9/11 and complain Beyonce made you feel bad because you had to sit through a mediocre performance with a black lives matter reference so obscure you probably missed it over nachos.

White genocide! Reporting live from a 90% white town in suburban anywhere, USA. Olympus has fallen, the Mooselims are at the gates.

A halftime show so lame, they had to use clips from superior performances to make up for it. Who thought it was a good idea to have 3 big names share stage time?

Coldplay is awful, who decided to even invite them to be the main act? Who thought they had a chance in hell of not being upstaged by Beyonce and Bruno Mars? Right back to obscurity.

I'm a lunatic for pointing out Social (the words right in the name) Security is a socialist program? Or that roads are owned by municipalities and thus are owned by the people and funded by the people (through taxes via gov't) to benefit the populace on the whole?

Best check my pill cocktail, I might be imagining you all again.

Three names so big I only knew who one of them was despite having seen all three in performance on television before, and I only knew Beyoncé because good luck not seeing her plastered on every news site's entertainment main-page plug.

I literally literally stared at the TV and asked who the hell the guy in the ugly rubber suit was as he sang "You know who I am" ("You know my name?" Some stupid ***song suggesting I should know who he is...)

Just wait till we get to Harry Potter and it's secret attempts to lure children into thinking witchcraft is GOOD.

If there's one thing God hates, it's motherfucking sorcerers.
