There's a Canadian island offering to take in Americans if Trump is elected president. Maybe they'll expand the offer to people of other nationalities as well.
FTW!
Ha ha!
To illustrate, I have two coworkers who typically vote democrat, but classify themselves as independents. They've expressed to me that they are not fond of Hillary because they believe that she fits into the "good ole boys" club and that she hasn't been honest with the scandals that she's been linked to. When asked if they like Trump, I was told that they like the fact that he is (more or less) self funding his campaign and that while they certainly don't agree with him on some issues, he at least is open and upfront about where he stands. Just sayin'.
Edit: One last comment: As someone who's had to get a visa in Europe, I can appreciate the layers of bureaucracy that you need to fight through just to be there legally for a short window of time, let alone to stay permanently. But as far as illegal immigration goes, what about it being illegal to you not get? If you ignore or bend one law, then at what point is it okay to ignore or bend another? Who gets to bend the rules and who doesn't? I understand the humanity side of immigration, but honestly, it's a disgrace to those who come legally. Saying "no" to illegal immigration is not saying no to immigration and it seems disingenuous to paint it otherwise.
It's starting to look like Trump is inevitable at this point. CNN has him projected to do very well on Super Tuesday next week, according to the Big Board they were showing off tonight. It's a shame that the GOP couldn't come up with another candidate other than the awful duo of Rubio and Cruz that they ultimately narrowed it down to. Surely there's a decent Republican out there who could serve as a better president than Trump/Cruz/Rubio.
(He's been my favorite, but it seems to be almost a curse, because I seem to be good at picking the ones that never win. Ugh, I hate primaries...all they do is pull candidates further away from middle ground where you could actually win a general election.)
His Nevada numbers are on account of less evangelicals. People underestimated how impressive his SC win and Iowa 2nd place finish were, since those were large evangelical states. When he gets out of those areas, he will do even better.
PS: The Dems are so silly. In their excitement to cast the party insider and great scion Hillary as the candidate (not realizing that failed Dem candidates don't normally come back and win on the next go around, unlike Repub ones) they ignored the one candidate who could have taken the fight to the Repubs given the public mood - and it isn't 'Bern': It's Elizabeth Warren. A smart woman with Bernie's attributes and none of Hillary's flaws. Fools.
But it makes no difference, Trump is the nominee NOW. Cruz is too extreme to do well outside of his small base of evangelicals, and Cruz hates the establishment as much as Trump, so he won't give way to allow Rubio the chance to break through. Short of some miracle, Trump will glide to the nomination.
Never ever did I think it possible that the American voters would re-elect George W. Bush.
8 years ago, I was very wrong.
Never ever did I think it possible that the American voters would actually elect a black President.
2016: I am very wrong?
Never ever do I think it possible that the American voters would put Donald Trump into the White House.
Go figure.
It's gonna be Clinton/trump. It won't be Rubio unless Trump screws up, and then Trump will hand it to Clinton. His negative ratings even among Republicans are huge, people are afraid of his temperament and the Dem base with an extra serge in Black and Hispanic voters will kill him. The Dem's will bombard Trump with ads about all the negatives in his background. Hillary's bad stuff is already out there. Trumps is not.
I wish the Dem's could have come up with a fresh, experienced recent Governor like Ted Warner of Va., but the smartest ones don't want the misery and scrutiny that comes with the job. Hillary has too much baggage and she is too old, but at least she is not an idiot, and knows exactly what the job is about. Bernie is toast. He'll be killed off in most of the remaining primaries and Clinton owns the big # of unpledged super delegates that are mostly Dem party types. She'll get it unless something unforeseen occurs during the rest of the primaries. If something crazy happens, then Bloomberg could be a real wild card as a third party candidate but time at some point will run out on that option. It's wacky getting on all 50 state ballots as a third party type,, but he has the deep pockets to have already done the ground work.
I heard that a lot of the data that the press kept quoting re Hispanic votes in Nevada for Clinton and Trump was not accurate as it was based on faulty samples. But I may be wrong. Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com has the best site in the US for statistical predictions and data analysis on both politics and sports. He use to be with the NYTimes, but broke away. He's has an incredible track record for accuracy.
Let him win the primary. He's the best candidate the Republicans have. He'll lose the election anyway.
Feel the Bern.
Trump is all show and entertainment. He is harmless. He would be a showman president and a very, very strong leader figure. And maybe, that is, what the US desperately needs.
What harm could he do that hasn't long been done by George W. Bush/Cheney and Obama.
Hillary on the other hand would just be an extension of the Obama era. Would that be more desirable?
Sadly, the more capable and good candidates are already out of the race, and sad as it is, I even have to count Jeb Bush into that category.
I believe the Republican party is being reshaped due to Trump. Whether he wins or not, the party and the ideology will never be the same again. That's a good thing after 36 years of stagnation. Having said that, where they go from here is anybody's guess.
