Watching Kasich and Rubio give victory speeches for coming in 2nd and 3rd is surreal.
[QUOTE=bladefd]What does Trump bring to the table? Fool does not even believe in climate change and grew up spoiled. Trump is not going to win presidency. Fox News and establishment will make sure of it.
edit: he does have hot daughters though and wife. He does bring that to the table.[/QUOTE]
Trump doesn't give AF about climate change. He's only spitting out the anti climate change rhetoric to gain votes among conservatives and to appeal to the republican party. The same way he suddenly became "religious" to try and get the christian/evangelist vote, trump never touched the bible in his life and when people ask him about his favorite verse he says shit like they all are.
I'm pretty sure he's like this with every talking point. Immigration? I'm pretty sure this guy hired a shit ton of immigrants and even illegal immigrants back in the day but he's all of a sudden anti-immigrant to get the votes.
He'll say whatever to get any vote.
[QUOTE=Nick Young]That's true. If lefties and fox news both hate you, chances are you're doing something right.[/QUOTE]
Fox and the neo-cons hate Trump because they know he'd smashed in a general election, turning the GOP into a laughingstock in the process.
[QUOTE=DeuceWallaces]Watching Kasich and Rubio give victory speeches for coming in 2nd and 3rd is surreal.[/QUOTE]
Both were pretty well deserved I think. Rubio coming in within a percent of Trump in Iowa after the aggregated polling had them 13% apart.
Yay Bernie!
As an independent myself, I gained respect for Kasich. He seems like a very good human being with good intentions. He is the only Republican I would not mind.

Victory speeches are only deserved in the event of a victory.
[QUOTE=DonDadda59]Bernie making crazy promises he can't possibly keep. Wall Street's gonna pay for your College. Him and the Donald are two peas in a pod.[/QUOTE]
He's planning on taxing the rich in general. It might not work, but we'll see. I read somewhere that economist think the plan is brilliant, but I dunno. That could be just one because I read others that say it's pretty crazy. I have to read up more on that. Here is Sanders tax plan in comparison to Trump and the current plan we're on right now:
The far left is the current law. The middle is Trump's plan. The far right is Sanders plan.

The rich is gonn'a get tax hard. I don't know that much economics to say whatever it's a good or bad thing. So, you guys tell me. I did read that Sanders tax plan is the highest it's been since the 80s. It was really high in the 40s-early 60s tho.
According to this [url]http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/republicans-new-hampshire-primary-219007[/url]
Clinton has 15 delegates and Sanders 13. Wtf?

Trump is a entertaining mofo tho. The dude is a real WWE heel up there. He needs to steal Vince McMahon theme song.
NO CHANCE!

It's 13 to 9 according to google. Correct me if I'm wrong, but NH only has 24 Delegates? That's 28 from what you describe.

You know what happens when you tax the rich too much? They leave and you get nothing.
You know what happens when you tax business too much? They leave, you get nothing and all the jobs go to some other country.
"Tax the people that can afford it" sounds workable in theory, but the reality is that people have other options. There are lots of nice places in the world to live or put your businesses headquarters.
Taxing rich people ungodly amounts prevents other people from becoming rich.
And if the rich get taxed, how do I get that money? Does it go directly into my bank account?
I have a better idea! How about making it easier for me to become a rich person by lowering corporate taxes so that big companies stay in the U.S. and can afford to hire Americans!

Lefty morons seem to really hate the idea of people having a lot of extra money in the bank. What these lefty morons don't seem to understand is, that's where investment comes from. If nobody has enough extra money that they can afford to risk investing, then where the hell are investment going to come from? Who the hell is going to put up the money to start new businesses, expand businesses or invest in new developments?
Have you never noticed that nothing is invented in these dumbass socialist countries? The only people who can succeed are giant multinational corporations who are already swimming in money.
