US elections - Round Two

No-one seems to have a single good thing to say about Cruz, Lily. In contrast, I've seen nothing but praise for Trump, from people who know him personally, or who knew him years ago.

I was more impressed than I expected to be by Sanders standing up to Killary:

about dirty trade deals, money from Wall Street, etc. It's just a pity he has NO idea about how to sort the mess out.

Oh, and Killary sounds ghastly, croaking like a crow with laryngitis.

On gun control, the two candidates sparred sharply, with Clinton using the Sandy Hook massacre to make a point about holding gun makers responsible for crimes – and Sanders arguing that position would effectively mean an America without guns.

The dispute started when Sanders defended his past support for a bill to help protect gun manufacturers and sellers from lawsuits. He said if gun sellers and makers are held liable in many of these cases, “What you’re really talking about is ending gun manufacturing in America.”

Clinton countered that no other industry in America has “absolute immunity,” and invoked the Sandy Hook mass shooting.

The Democratic rivals were most heated when talking about their respective records on the economy. Sanders went after Clinton over what he called “disastrous trade agreements” like NAFTA.

She countered by pointing out he opposed the auto industry bailout. He tried to describe it as the Wall Street bailout, and got a little feisty when she started to speak over him.

“Excuse me, I’m talking,” he said. “Your story is for voting for every disastrous trade agreement.”


Ouch! So, Bernie can bite?

How do you fight millions of dollars of fraudulent commercials pushing for crooked politicians? I will be using Facebook & Twitter. Watch!

Lindsey Graham is all over T.V., much like failed 47% candidate Mitt Romney. These nasty, angry, jealous failures have ZERO credibility!

We cannot let the failing REPUBLICAN ESTABLISHMENT, who could not stop Obama (twice), ruin the MOVEMENT with millions of $'s in false ads!

I will be using Facebook and Twitter to expose dishonest lightweight Senator Marco Rubio. A record no-show in Senate, he is scamming Florida

Not Little Marco's cleverest-ever photoshoot.

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97%
has cancelled his visit to Mississippi, according to state Sen. Chris McDaniel.

“Unfortunately, I just received a call from the national campaign chairman,” McDaniel wrote on his Facebook page. “The event at JCJC has been cancelled. Ted Cruz will not be in Mississippi tomorrow, as he evidently does not feel well. This is difficult news to deliver, but we trust that God has a plan for the campaign and for Mississippi.”

Does it involve an exorcist?

Does it involve an exorcist?

Should definitely hope so, Bonny. Maybe the same one can go see to Hillary.

She looked in dire need of one from what I saw last night, Lily, I thought her head was going to spin right round when Sanders finally answered her back.

I saw that too. She is a witch about things......

I see Trump's going for it now.

Little Marco has been hitting out at Trump left, right and center. Trump had to go after him sometime and Rubio should know better.

All those running round screaming about Trump being the second incarnation of Hitler would do well to read this:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/03/07/5-reasons-why-trump-would-be-a-better-president-than-you-thought/

As a non-American, this is the one that matters most to me:


2.) Trump won’t start WWIII: Among the remaining candidates (including the Democrats), Trump has been the most vocal opponent of military adventurism. He has suggested he will take the fight to ISIS, but Trump has been insistent in his belief that the Iraq war was a mistake, that American blood has been shed in a misguided attempt to restructure the Middle East, and that a real conservative American foreign policy would place American interests first, ahead of those of foreign nations. Trump’s foreign policy would be closest to the founding generation’s desire for peaceful neutrality. As a businessman, Trump understands that peace produces prosperity, both for the American federal republic and the people who reside here.

And for the rest of the world, too.

The only people profiting from the death and chaos caused by Obama and Killary are their global elitist chums.

You said it Bonny.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/03/08/exclusive-paula-jones-the-truth-about-bills-women-would-destroy-hillarys-political-career/

The “truth” about Bill Clinton’s affairs and alleged affairs would “destroy” Hillary Clinton’s political career, declares Paula Jones, the former Arkansas state employee who sued President Clinton for sexual harassment.

I wonder why I don't have any sympathy for Hillary and I cannot be alone?

I genuinely do not know how any woman can support her, Lily, not when she's spent her married life enabling her abusive husband so.....so she can be President, as she seems to think she is entitled to be? That's before we even start on the rest of it....

Those two remind me of the Ceaușescus.

Not good, Bonny, not good at all.

Brilliant!

A big, unexpected win for Sanders last night; anything that upsets Clinton can't be bad.


YUGE wins for The Donald in Michigan and Missouri, plus Hawaii. Cruz won Idaho, as expected.

Worker setting up the Trump beverages and magazine display. The Trump steaks display was brought out later.

None of the others have thought of giving the media free wine and steak.

He really did that because he was being hammered by others who said that they were ALL failed Trump businesses. That was proof that they are not.

I bet he would welcome the media having them, or anyone else for that matter.

LOVE this picture from the comments section.

That's a good one.

Anyone seen Hills today? She must be beside herself with rage at losing Michigan so unexpectedly.

No I haven't, Bonny and I watched the morning political show.

She looks and sounds awful now - IMO! I saw a clip of her making a speech yesterday, and her voice was ghastly. She also seemed to need a teleprompter to say something or other that was apparently supposed to be funny, but she was so laboured, it was flat and dull.

Unlike The Donald, who seems to be able to chat on endlessly, unaided. I noticed he has the knack of talking with his audience, not at them.

It's a pity Sanders is such a mad old leftie; he and Trump seem to be broadly in agreement on a few things, and I don't think Sanders is dishonest, or in anyone's pocket. He just seems to think it's a good idea to turn the US into Venezuela.....
