Trump Running For President In 2016

Funny you say that, does China even make beer?

Does it matter who runs, or what side wins. Our system is so out of balance its ridiculous. Both sides will get one or two people who are moderate to centrist, and the rest will be far left and far right. The moderates/centrist won't be given the time of day, because the rest of the field is so far on the edges, they are seen as not having a chance to win against the extremist from the other party. This leaves us with a few candidates who generally aren't willing to work with the other party.

There have been portions of time where we have had similar oligarchical periods similar to feudalism.

It depends on what you really consider "feudalism" and what you generally understand the elements of it to be. There are many periods in history where if it werent for government regulation, we'd be going back to liegelords and serfs like the whole thing never happened. Except with like guns...and motor vehicles.

When was the last time you've even seen a far leftist running?

Bernie Sanders says hi?

Not really, no.

Oh, that's right. I forgot that we adjusted the spectrum so that a self-described socialist who is considered by many to be one of if not the most left-leaning Senator... is actually dead center. You know, just like every other Democrat.

No the spectrum isn't adjusted, it's just that everyone to the right of center thinks that everyone who disagrees with them is a leftist socialist communist ***.

Bernie Sanders isn't to the left enough for me. I'm looking for more of a Lenin/Stalin leader.

So, at least we all know the flowerhead syndrome is spreading to the left.....

Um, no? Just because you want to deny history and be disingenuous at the same time doesnt mean that. Its not at all a far fetched concept to wrap your head around.

its bull ***just like it was last time. but why in his right mind would he want that job.

If I gotta choose between Bush and Trump, Trump hands down.

I'm not denying history, I'm also not making up history too.

See, that's the problem with people today. If you don't agree with them on their stance of historical politics, you are "denying" history, even though their version of history is fiction.....

Actually in the Republican clown car the best two prospects are Rubio and Walker IMHO.

I have given serious thought to honestly rating the chances of everyone in the Republican clown car. Without sarcasm.

Its more research than I wish to put in with XIV's Heavansward expansion calling on my interweb time. But it tempts me nonetheless.

Polling now (which is just about meaningless) says otherwise.

Univision is canceling its telecast of the Miss USA pageant, an event partially owned by Donald Trump, to protest Trump's offensive remarks about Mexicans.

Furthermore, Univision says it is severing all other business ties to Trump.

Univision is the biggest Spanish-language broadcaster in the United States, so its decision is a blow to the Miss Universe Organization, a joint venture of Trump and Comcast's NBCUniversal division.

Last week, in his speech announcing a run for president, Trump deplored immigrants from Mexico who "have lots of problems" and are "bringing those problems to us."

"They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists," he said, adding, "and some, I assume, are good people."

The comments caused an outcry. Jorge Ramos, a prominent Univision host, called Trump's remarks "absurd" and "prejudiced."

On Thursday, Univision said its entertainment division is "ending the company's business relationship with the Miss Universe Organization, which is part-owned by Donald J. Trump, based on his recent, insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants."

"At Univision, we see first-hand the work ethic, love for family, strong religious values and the important role Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans have had and will continue to have in building the future of our country," the company said. "We will not be airing the Miss USA pageant on July 12 or working on any other projects tied to the Trump Organization."

Representatives for NBCUniversal did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but Trump fired back on Twitter and with a statement.

"The Mexican government and others are putting tremendous pressure on Univision to break their signed and fully effective contract with the Miss Universe Organization because Mr. Trump has been exposing to the public, and the world, the significant damage that is being done at the southern border, and the terrible and costly trade deals that the United States is incompetently making with Mexico," Trump said in a statement.

In a tweet, Trump said, "Mexican gov doesn't want me talking about terrible border situation & horrible trade deals. Forcing Univision to get me to stop- no way!"

Shortly after Univision pulled the plug on Trump, the man who was scheduled to be the Hispanic host of the Miss USA pageant also quit.

In a statement addressed to Trump, Cristian de la Fuente, a popular actor from Chile who has appeared in TV shows like "CSI Miami" and "Ugly Betty," said, "You are ignorant, racist and anti-Hispanic."

Univision emphasized that the decision involved its entertainment programming, not news.

"Univision News and the local news division will continue to provide comprehensive coverage of all candidates, including Mr. Trump, to ensure our audience continues to have access to all points of view," the company said.

Univision president and CEO Randy Falco made the decision to break ties with Trump. He considered the views of both his Spanish-speaking audience and his employee base, which is 80 percent Hispanic.

The decision is a remarkable reversal, given that Univision struck a long-term deal with the Miss Universe Organization just five months ago.

The deal -- reportedly five years long -- called for Univision to broadcast and co-produce the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.

With Univision out of the picture, NBCUniversal might seek to televise the pageants on its competing Spanish-language network Telemundo instead.

But NBCUniversal may also face calls to break -- or at least suspend -- its business ties with Trump, given his incendiary comments and his ongoing bid to be president.
