Will A Crushing Victory In New York Reinvigorate Donald Trump’s Campaign?

After a poor few weeks for Donald Trump’s campaign, it looks like the Trump Train is back on track in his home state of New York. The Empire State votes this Tuesday, and polling shows Trump with a massive, insurmountable lead over opponents Ted Cruz and John Kasich. Indeed, Cruz—who had been touted as the candidate to unite anti-Trump voters after his victory in Wisconsin—is polling in third behind Kasich, with neither of them likely to win any delegates (like Wisconsin, New York divvies up its delegates according to the winner of each congressional district).

Much in the same way that Wisconsin’s nicey-nice social milieu was hard for Trump to crack, there’s no state less receptive to Cruz’s revivalist preacher shtick than New York, his remarks about “New York values” notwithstanding. When Cruz and his wife Heidi tried to campaign in the Bronx last week, it was an unmitigated disaster: his town hall drew only a handful of people and his planned tour of a charter school had to be cancelled after students threatened to walk out. New Yorkers are too wise to fall for a con man like Cruz.

I’ve been on the ground in New York for the past week and having attended two of Trump’s rallies (one in Rochester, another in Albany) as well as one of Kasich’s town hall meetings (in Rochester), I can say that Trump has nothing to worry about in New York. Barring some kind of unprecedented voter fraud or meltdown on Trump’s behalf, he will run the table here, putting him in a strong position to clinch the 1,237 delegates necessary to get the Republican nomination.

New York Loves Donald Trump

fu-train

Despite New York’s Democratic lean, there’s a strong base of Republican support on Long Island and in upstate, the latter of which has been hit hard by the free trade agreements that Trump decries. Cities such as Buffalo, Rochester and my hometown of Syracuse were built on manufacturing jobs, most of which have been outsourced to Mexico or China. Combined with high taxation from the Democratic-controlled state government, upstate New York has become an economic wasteland, with countless people fleeing to other states.

It’s no surprise then that the Trump rallies I attended in Rochester and Albany had a huge turnout. The Rochester rally drew about 15,000 people, with thousands more having to be turned away due to space limits. The Albany rally drew over 20,000 people, remarkable considering that the city is both the state capital (and thus quite liberal) and only has a population of about 100,000. Both events were a far cry from the Trump rally in Milwaukee I went to last week, which drew only about 1,000-1,500 people.

Not only that, Trump’s New York fans were fired up to a degree I haven’t seen at any Trump rally before, or any other candidate’s rally. At both events, whenever Trump brought up Ted Cruz, the crowd erupted into a chorus of boos and chants of “LYIN’ TED! LYIN’ TED!”, and Trump himself was far more excited and energetic then he was in Wisconsin. The number of protesters at both rallies was also small: only about a hundred each, and in Albany, they were deliberately placed in a tiny pen and massively outnumbered by Trump fans.

While John Kasich was able to get a decent crowd for his Rochester town hall—over a thousand, enough to force the community center to use an overflow room—many of them were there not out of loyalty to him but because a presidential candidate visiting Rochester was a novel experience. Given New York’s status as a blue state and the fact that it votes relatively late in the primaries, this is probably the first time in decades that national politicians care what we have to say:

Even still, Kasich is a long-shot for winning any of New York’s delegates. Beyond Trump’s home state advantage, he’s the only Republican candidate who is addressing the issues that New Yorkers care about: illegal immigration and trade. Kasich’s phony “aw, shucks” persona and conciliatory, moderate platform might have been assets in 2008 or 2012, but in a year in which voters are demanding radical change, he’s left out in the cold.

Rewriting The Electoral Map

While recent presidential elections have been fought under the assumption that large portions of America are too heavily Democratic (the Northeast and West Coast) or Republican (the South, the Mountain West) to be worth campaigning in, Donald Trump’s entry into presidential politics stands a strong chance of rewriting the electoral map. In particular, he could win states such as New York and California that haven’t gone GOP since the 1980’s.

While the paid partisans of #NeverTrump claim that the Donald will lose to Hillary Clinton in a general election landslide, they’re basing this on polls conducted well before the general election has begun. Hillary’s advantage is almost entirely due to name recognition, as shown by the fact that she’s lost huge amounts of ground to Bernie Sanders as he becomes better-known. In a general election, Trump’s charisma and populist campaign platform will give him an edge over Hillary’s hair of the dog leftism and horrendous personality.

  1. If he can’t win his home state, he shouldn’t be running. I’ll be impressed if and when he wins a crushing victory in New York in November.

    1. [On Kasich celebrating his win in Ohio] “That’s like confetti coming down when I go to the bathroom and I flush my toilet and it works. Of course, it’s supposed to work. … This is your home state. You just won your home state.” -Glenn Beck

        1. Shitting rainbows and pissing excellence. An awesome way to start a Thursday.

        2. If you had that you would be an automatic hernandrez….automatic with course set to awesome town.

        3. I am afraid of having rainbows that close to my ass. It might send the wrong signal. Like when my cousin thought it was funny to name his boat the Dock Sucker. All the wrong attention.

        4. I hear the estate of Pablo Escobar has golden toilets on wholesale. Personally I would rather have silver toilets. Not only do I like the luster, but I hear silver has antiseptic properties. That might come in handy when I bring hookers and they use my toilet. Might kill some STDs.

        5. Raimbows carry norse gods from one world to another in Scandinavian mythology.
          You don’t want to have Thor or Odin down there.

        6. very nice.
          My very brief stint of owning a boat, a nice little 4 winns that I had for a season and dumped for slightly more than I paid for it, was called the “Sea You Next Tuesday”
          I have decided if I ever get another one it will be called “…The Wednesday After That”

        7. Why the obsession with body glitter? Is there something you want to tell us?

        8. I giggled like a middle school boy reading his very first sex education book. I feel ashamed.

        9. too! see ya at recess. Were gonna burn a frog with a magnifying glass!

        10. Ha. Indeed there is, “context is key”.
          Monsieur de Charette made a very funny comment about peeing at bus stops to mark territory and my mind immediately went to the idea of drinking glitter so that it would shimmer when I peed on girls at bus stops so I could tell them it was just pixie-dust and they should think happy thoughts.
          I’m trying on humor that carries on through a theme over the course of an extended time (new hobby) <— Really though, this is the only part I wanted to tell us.

        11. I actually do shit chicken nuggets (between lightning bolts that is, and that’ll teach those bullies who called me names, too) and I have contracts with both Burger King and McDonalds. “I look funny, but yo’ I’m makin’ money, see.” Golden god of golden showers, right there.

        12. Jist breaking balls. you watch that wedding vi I posted yesterday? Dancing down the aisle singing “…the paper is your game, you jump in bed with fame…”

        13. Indeed and I laughed out loud at it, some of the “guests” looked triggered but all those biker-looking Groomsmen were hilariously dancing along with the bride, so it was great, though I have to admit it “ruined the image and the style I was used to.” (For the better) 😉

        14. I thought about drinking gazolin to make a circle of fire around them.
          But I’ve heard that scorpions commit suicide when circled by fire, and women like to impersonate animals, like when they’re doing duckfaces on photos, and that type of thing.
          Didn’t want to take any chance.

        15. Personally, I woulda gone for something more positive, like “Every Breath you Take” by The Police

        16. And no one could blame you for that. Visiting the zoo is a lot less dangerous than going on safari that’s for sure. 🙂
          Of course your idea lends an entirely new meaning to: “I fell in to a burning ring of fire.”

        17. Maybe even The Divinyls’ “I Touch Myself”
          or
          Jermaine Stewart’s “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off” depending on the mood one would be hoping to create (or the Bride).
          Or, just to get Unabashed’s goat:

        18. I really am conflicted with upvoting this, yes she was sexy, yes it is fact she passed, and yet still it seems inappropriate to upvote somehow.
          But I would suggest that perhaps she touched too much?

        19. Aw…I’m the only one who cares enough to roast me… 🙁 I feel sadly underutilized like a marshmallow on an lolknee camping trip…
          But doesn’t YabbaDrabArab sound like it should be a thing, either yesterday or in the future?

        20. Hey, I’m looking out for you today, didn’t you see how I brought you into that conversation you were being excluded from. I’m so magnanimous. 🙂

        21. I had a stone once….trust me, you do not want anything in nugget form excreting from any of your lower extremities. Really, if nothing else I say moves you, believe me on this one. Oooof, that was rough.

        22. in reality just about 6mm. However, it felt….well, I don’t know how to put this, like an elephant made of rock salt

    2. I will be impressed when so called “conservative” Americans stop being cucks and stop voting for globalist owned candidates who claim te be anti-establishment (Cruz).

    3. ahhhh, but truly I tell you that no prophet is accepted in his hometown.

        1. Trump’s family changed their name from Drumpf to Trump like 400 years ago. It’s something the libs have pulled out as a means of attack because they really got nothing else they can sling at him. Really speaks more to their level of maturity and intellect than anything else.
          “Hee hee! Your name is Drumpf!”

        2. It’s apparently Donald Trump’s grandfather’s surname from before he migrated to America.

        3. Wow, libs are really clever. They should go back to making fun of his hair. I would call him “Hairy Hairhead”.

        4. His grandfather changed the name. Big deal. It’s rude to make fun of it. I don’t call Hillary Hitlery; I call her a dumb bitch.

    1. But then isn’t that how everyone feels about the opposing candidate? Isn’t it odd how we immediately look to climb the high horse of intellect when we soap box (“We’re so much smarter and higher class than you, so do what we say peasants!”) or that we tie our political choices so closely to our personal self-worth as if any candidate truly represents us (or knows we exist individually for that matter)?
      At this point, “educated” is really only a synonym of “pretentious” anyway, it has little to do with intellect.
      Think about it, for how many people does educated mean voluntarily sitting in some room and being told what to think?
      For how many does it mean they spent a hell of a lot of (somebody’s) money to get a piece of paper that didn’t lead to well-paying employment?
      For how many is it a justification to make up words like “man-spreading” or create positions like Human Resources or courses like Gender Studies. The majority of people I know who self-identify as “educated” who do that crap are SJWs, not anyone I would choose to be associated with.
      And how many “educated” people are supporting a proven liar and worse or an outright socialist?
      (For the record, I’ll vote for anyone but the Democrat when it’s time and don’t actively prefer any of the remaining candidates now that the field has narrowed, Bush is out thankfully and Kasich the Schill has zero chance of being nominated even if it goes to second or third ballots at convention).

      1. So you cheerypick some deranged uni students activities and paint the entire university graduates field with a broad brush.Speaks volumes for a blind Trump supporter. And tell me on what basis are you opposing the Democrat party? Democratic presidents have consistently outperformed their Republican counterparts in terms of job creation, economic growth and budget surplus. And remember Watergate and the atrocious Patriot Act are shenanigans of Republican prezzys.:)

        1. Ahahahahaha, “Democratic presidents” and “job creation” don’t belong in the same sentence, at least here in the real world. I’d like to visit whatever utopia you’ve dreamed up in your head.

        2. Yes in proving your idiocy. The way you try to wiggle out of your original comment devoid of any intelligence is illuminating.

        3. A simple research can yield all the answers. Yet you choose to be blind. You don’t have to visit any utopia just a small click on Google search bar would be sufficient

        4. You’re delusional. I’ve owned multiple businesses. Have you? Link me your google searches or shut the fuck up with your leftist troll nonsense.

    2. Thinking about the kind of “educated” people todays universities spew out by the thousands, your comment might be taken as a compliment.

      1. ha!
        That was such a win of a comment.
        I think voting itself is a fools chore and have no horse in this race at all. However, I know an excellent comment when I see one.
        Well done CS.

        1. Why thank you. I find your way of pointing out my way of pointing out his excellence was done in quite an outstanding manner as well.

    3. Whats wrong with German heritage?
      German american’s are the largest ethnic group in america, or do you think insulting 49 million americans is a great idea?

      1. Democrats have greatly enjoyed insulting Americans of all stripes other than black or brown women for decades. They have been anti-white since the 60s, and anti male since the 70s.

        1. Oh, they insult black or brown women too, by pandering to them as if they are stupid idiots. But then again, black and brown women overlook this blatant insult and continue to vote for them. So is it really an insult if the insulted person ignores it?

        2. Oh yes Democrats are mean and prone to insult ALL AMERICANS of all stripes. That is the exact reason why they won the last two elections convincingly don’t they? Get real. its easy to huff and puff to spew hilarious garbage. I can already see spittle flying out of your mouth.

        3. I can quote our current Democrat President saying about the blue color voters (what used to be the Democrat base), “And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations. ” It seems fairly insulting to me. You make look on it as merely dismissive of a huge portion of the American public.

        4. It has been a mystery beyond understanding why these groups continue to blindly (and I do mean totally blindly) support the Democrat Party. That party has done nothing to help them, and continues to keep them on the federal plantation through policies of encouraged helplessness and dependency. The democrat Party know they need do nothing for Blacks because they have their support automatically. Meanwhile the Republican Party has no incentive to do anything to get them out of their predicament either, as no matter what they do they won’t get the black vote.

        5. My only quibble with what you have said – in my view the policies are not so much “encouraged” as they are “enshrined.” Don’t get me wrong, they certainly encourage these things, but it seems like once you accept this shit, it is impossible to ever let it go. It’s really bizarre. It’s not a safety net, it’s a safety black hole.
          I’m the kind of guy that likes to take the risks to go as far as I can. I accept that I may end up destitute, but destitute is a floor and I can always try again.
          I just don’t understand people that are willing to accept poverty-level subsistence and victim hood as a CEILING to their achievement as a preferred option. But, this is why I don’t vote democrat.

  2. It’s looking good for Trump. He has a bunch of favorable states coming up. After NY, five NE states vote next Tuesday (CT, DE, MD, PA, RI). Trump should win all those easily. However, I am a little concerned about Trump’s chances in my winner-takes-all home state of Indiana. The Anti-Trump republican establishment runs this state and I think the cucks that run this state will go all out to keep Trump from winning here. Also, Trump for some reason does his best in diverse states. Unfortunately, taking out Lake County and Indianapolis, IN is a largely white state and Cruz seems to win those kind of states. Hopefully, Donald Trump can finish this up without needing our state’s delegates.
    As they say down in Louisiana, barring any funny business at the convention in Cleveland this summer, the only way Trump loses the nomination at this point is if he’s caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy. Cruz and Kasich don’t have any realistic chance of catching him. Even if Trump doesn’t get my state’s 57 delegates, the Northeast 6 + NJ + CA should put him pretty damn close to 1237

  3. John Kasich is a chump and this is coming from a guy who voted for him for governor. Current delegate count for the GOP:
    Trump 755
    Cruz 545
    Rubio 171
    Kasich 143
    John conflates public employment with real employment and throws in scripture quotes ad-hoc when challenged on his assumptions. He is a spoiler for Cruz and hopes to land a slot if Trump is elected. Nothing more.

    1. Just out of curiosity, what Scriptural quotes does he cite? I definitely don’t mean to question your veracity, but every time a candidate throws Biblical tidbits, I always wonder if they have a clue about what they’re talking about. As an outsider to this chaos, I’m very curious.

      1. Not being facetious, but google “Kasich” and “bible quotes” and read away. Sample from last year when he was defending Obamacare:
        “Now, if you ever read Matthew 25, I think, ‘I wanna feed the hungry and clothe the naked.’”
        I have no problem with him belting out scripture, but not as a poltical appointee when asked legitimate questions regarding how he can defend failed legislation. He seems to constantly remind people about about his duty as a Christian, but some one should remind him playing Jesus with other peoples money (would love to see his personal donations) and supporting the political oppositions positions based on “feelings of compasion” is not why he was elected.

        1. He wants to feed the hungry and clothe the naked? He voted for nafta, so I assume this only applies to non-Americans?

        2. John should have been a missionary or joined the peace corp if that was his life’s amibition, but apparently it is easier to be more charitable with other peoples time and money. Would love to see his tax returns and check out his personal charitable donations (IIRC Bill Clinton was claiming a tax deduction for charitable denations of his his old underwear at $3 a pair).

        3. I miss Rudy Guiliani being mayor of new York. That’s when we used to hunt the hungry and kick the poor.

        4. “Bill Clinton was claiming a tax deduction for charitable denations of his his old underwear at $3 a pair”
          =====================
          If he personally autographed them with Lewinsky’s lipstick stains, those would’ve auctioned for thousands on Fleabay.

        5. Indeed. I earned my Eagle Scout badge by organizing such an event.

        6. You just reminded me a few years back in NY, there was some natural catastrophe, maybe a hurricane that came close to the NE, and some towns had to be evacuated into Red Cross shelters. Some were Jewish evacuees. The Red Cross brought them ham and cheese sandwiches and they went into a shit fit. They took it as an insult. Later the Red Cross had to change the menu.
          I just shook my head and said wow.

        7. It was a double violation. Not only pork, but mixing meat with cheese.
          There was this sense of entitlement. Just like those migrants flooding Europe from the Middle East.

        8. Look, if you have some set of beliefs that makes your life better that is fine by me. I don’t care if it is religion or work or exercise or the spaghetti monster. But when someone tries to legislate it, tries to use it to sell a bill of goods or cares about it to the exclusion of rational behavior then there is some serious problems.
          There is a big difference between having a guiding set of principles in your life, religious or otherwise, and going full retard on that shit. I am fine with the former and think the later is silly. I am not hostile to either.

        9. Weird, and I think that atheists are the silliest people on earth. Never could I really take you guys seriously…

        10. Never said I was an atheist either. I think they are just as absurd.
          I’ve coined my own term.
          I am an apatheist.
          Your gods or vehement anti-god behavior is non of my concern.
          To quote the godfather: I want to congratulate you on your new business and I’m sure you’ll do very well and good luck to you. Especially since your interests don’t conflict with mine. Thank you
          While everyone runs around worrying about whether or not there is some form of eternal deity, if he takes attendance, cares if you eat pork chops or, conversely, runs around saying that people of faith are repressive and being all hostile to the decent people who find comfort in their religion and beliefs, ill just be over here enjoying myself and trying to be a good person with the only criteria that matters to me….the one I decide on.
          So yes, especially since your interests don’t conflict with mine, I wish you well on your beliefs and in your life…and as long as it stays that way I think we can peacefully co-exist.
          When religion becomes extreme, pushy and starts to conflict with my interests, then there might be some hostility.

        11. Wrong. Agnostic means you don’t know not that they don’t care. I couldn’t give an ounce of monkey shit if there is a god or not. Agnostics will say you can’t prove it one way or another. I say, even if you could—fuck it

        12. I know of a radio talk show host-Tom Baurle on WBEN AM930 near Buffalo-who is totally Pro-Life for “scientific” reasons. Otherwise the guy is a total libertine. I found this interesting as a Catholic.

      2. Plot spoiler: they don’t….not only do they have no clue what they are talking about, but if you sat with them in a quite room for 3 days and explained it they still wouldn’t know…further, they don’t, wouldn’t and couldn’t care.

        1. It’s pretty bad when, as a Christian, I get concerned when a public figure quotes scripture or brings up their faith. There’s a commercial on the radio station I listen to; some health guy who starts off with “God made our bodies perfect and…” My cynicism makes me cringe a bit because they all sound like salesmen trying to use Christianity as a deal maker. Who knows? He could be genuine.

    2. You know he had a job at Lehman Bros before it collapsed? Wonder why he got that gig- did they manage Ohio’s pension fund?

      1. Name them. I laugh when democrats stumble through “their beliefs” when the question is asked.
        Which church does Obama attend in DC? Hmm. Yeah.

        1. Well, there was the Trump faux pas where he slightly mispronounced “Corinthians”. That was a stupid overreaction over nothing, but it’s pretty clear Trump knows little about the bible. Rick Santorum made statements about Satan rearing his head in the US. Ben Carson thought the Egyptian pyramids were grain silos for some Biblical king. Mike Huckabee said a lot of crazy stuff out of the bible, including his disbelief in evolution.
          I don’t give a shit about people’s religious beliefs so I try to ignore this stuff but those are a few off the top of my head. The presidential candidates must put on a huge dog and pony show pretending to be uber religious, all the while having gay sex slaves, cheating on their wives, and being all around degenerate sick fucks. The voting population is more concerned with if you are a “good Christian” and how your hair looks than what your policies are. Name a candidate, and I’m sure I could find a weird bible quote they used.

        2. Good rebuke and I agree.
          “The voting population is more concerned with if you are a “good Christian” and how your hair looks than what your policies are”
          Great observation and dead on. I won’t give the guys name though he is long dead, but I worked with a retired secret service agent back in the 90s whose first gig was with Kennedy. He told me that during the 1960 campaign he heard numerous times women squeeling…”he is so cute. He’s got my vote.” Character and policy aims were thrown at the window once debates were televised and it was all about putting on a show.

    3. Kasich hurts cruz in the west and take a percentage away from trump in the northeast. He is a hitman for the republican elite and is only staying in the game to force a contested convention

    4. I’ll be checking out Kasich’s appearance in Watertown NY tomorrow, but will be voting for Cruz in the primary. Kasich was right for 2012, but missed his chance. Will have no problem whatsoever voting for Trump in Nov. Hillary must be stopped at all costs.

      1. I’m in the same boat. I like Cruz, but will vote for Don if he wins the nomination. He is what he is, but will be better than the current failed “community organizer with no past” now in the White House and the two feeble old socialists running on the dem ticket.

    1. Your views are valid as you are personally hit by uncontrolled, forced third world immigration into your quaint little town. But voting for a demagogue like Trump is downright ludicrous. Sure he said some radical, tough sounding sound bytes with flair and aplomb. Have you ever questioned how your dear leader would carry out his election promises? How would he build the wall? How would he impose moratorium on Muslim immigration? Listen I’m not a bible thumping Cruz supporter. Cruz’s policies are stupid as fark such as expanding our already bloated military, cucking for the parasitical Israel nation and etc. But Drumpf is not a viable option either.

        1. He’s a contrarian. He doesn’t have any worthwhile opinions, he just rejects popular opinion to appear edgy and forward-thinking.

      1. With the support of the people Trump may be able to fix congress. who knows… What I do know is we need strict policies controlling the spread of i-slime before it slimes us!

        1. Put your hand over your heart. look into the mirror and say it out aloud with as much passion as you can muster: TRUMP, THE PRICK WHO MADE A LIVING BUYING POLITICIANS FAVOR AND HIRING HORDES OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IS GOING TO FIX AMERICAS PROBLEMS. And see how stupid you sound.

        2. Nice way to deflect uncomfortable questions with snarky dismissal Mr.Already Gone Insane.

        3. “Put your hand over your heart? Look into the mirror and say it out aloud with as much passion as you can muster: TRUMP, THE PRICK WHO MADE A LIVING BUYING POLITICIANS FAVOR AND HIRING HORDES OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IS GOING TO FIX AMERICAS PROBLEMS? And see how stupid you sound?”
          The fact you believe you asked any questions at all there disappoints everyone who ever educated you nearly as much as your belief that we can see sound.

        4. If you ever tried to get the necessary permits on a 30+ million dollar project, you would understand the need to keep politicians in your pocket.
          In san fransisco, if you want to be on schedule you will need political power backing you as a businessman

        5. I referred to my first comment. Common sense seems to be your Kryptonite. And your verbose response is a joy to behold.

        6. Amazing how Trumptards justify any of Drumpf’s inconsistencies. Well logically if Trump is so passionate about issues that he is spouting from his motormouth he would have stated his values from the beginning. He played with your emotions and took you for a joy ride.And you fell for his empty rhetoric hook, line and sinker.

        7. Thanks, at least my comments will enlightened your Neanderthal brain. Even GOJ is not pleased with Trump. So there goes your smartass comeback back into your rectum.

        8. I hate giving in to your digressions. You get your jimmies in a tight knot any time I make fun of Drumpf. Anyway I’m touched you linked your own comments.Anything to win an internet argument eh?

        9. Way back when Trump started being brought up here, I made another, something to the tune of: I don’t know if he’s what he says or if he’d be good, but that it certainly was getting people to notice the machinations of politics at work in this country, I haven’t changed that opinion.
          And I wasn’t after you for mocking Trump (in fact, I’ve never responded to you ever before today), mocking politicians is one of America’s greatest past times. You just needed to chill a bit, mocking other RoKers wasn’t accomplishing anything either.

        10. I suppose you believe hilary can fix this country by importing more Syrians? Have you seen what is happening to Europe? My hometown is Luton UK, I had to leave thanks to moo-slimes. If you want that in your country, go ahead and vote for hilary. Before you do so, travel to any islamic run state.

        11. …and continue with: “A PRO-AMNESTY CUBAN-CANADIAN MARRIED TO A GOLDMAN-SACHS EMPLOYEE IS GOING TO MAKE MY LIFE BETTER.

        12. What uncomfortable questions? Your questions would have validity IF there were a candidate who actually would be more believable than Trump. Essentially, even if Trump if lying out of his teeth, so are all the other ones. Hence a vote for Trump is 50/50. A vote for anyone else is a big fat zero.
          And no, Bernie Sanders will NEVER be able to charge 90% tax to the rich. If you think that will ever happen, then holy fuck are you 5x more delusional than Trump supporters. At least our lottery ticket has more than a snowball’s chance in hell.

        13. Beautiful chick. Anyway you do realize that Drumpf has scammed scores of white males and females by his dubious Trump university right? You do realize he had tried to kick an old white women from her home citing eminent domain right? Oh no using brain is anathema to mindless Hitler devotees. Let’s forget about all the past atrocities Drumpf committed against his own Race,our race and let’s exalt him to God status because he spewed some impressive sound bites. Yup totally makes sense.

        14. I just eviscerated Cruz for his stupid policies above. Very funny morons like to paint me as Cruzbots once I called Drumpf out of his bullshit

        15. It does not matter what he “really” means, only what he actually does.
          It might be that his real sentiments are the ones he`s displaying now, that he has only been playing the game in order to get anywhere as a business man.
          He has pretty much admitted that after all.
          Trump has been part of the establishment all his life, and the man is 69 years old.
          He has all the money he could ever need,
          a hot wife, many kids, grandchildren etc.
          I just don`t see what would motivate him to put in all this effort just to be remembered as another asshole.
          Who cares if it`s just he`s ego that drives him, if he just wants to be remembered as the man who saved America, and he`s really a “liberal” deep down.
          He`s smart enough to know that he will be hated by most people eventually if he goes down the Bush, Bill Clinton, Obama road, and unlike them he does not need to go down that road to get rich, laid, a power-rush etc.
          What`s he`s motivation, that`s the question?

        16. “…everybody else is a moron, I’m the only one who has a clue, look at my big words.”

        17. Well morons get their panties in a bunch with my vocabs. Happens all the time. Go get yourself a Thesaurus.

        18. So we should just wait for some jesus figure that somehow managed to become powerful while clean in a dirty, dirty world? And you call yourself a realist. Your entire argument is predicated on being idealistic about expectations.

        19. As if a german immigrant is equivalent to a central american immigrant in terms of intellect and prediliction towards crime anyway, that nickname is a reflection of your inability to see the world as it is, instead opting for a pleasant sounding fiction where everyone is the same and nice to each other. Your avatar shows that you cannot shake the propaganda strategies of destructive leftist ideology as well. Go back to peppering girls with questions inquiring if you are petting them to hard.

      2. I have no interest in him carrying out anything. Now I am just trying to piss people off. I either vote for him or not at all. The candidates are lacking.

        1. by not voting you accept to be abused by the next candidate and his law. if you want to control your fate you better vote, just look how obama and his cursed government fucked many lives.

        2. I already fucked up by voting Obama before. I do not want to mess up again. I guess that is all part of the game, but if all the choices are terrible a vote would also be like accepting to be abused.

        3. It’s cute that you still think that voting matters. Wake me up when there is a candidate that wants to dismantle the FED and its debt based monetary system. If you’re quick enough, you might make it before he gets assassinated.

        4. Well, Trump or Cruz would be a lesser evil in this case. For me, anyway. I guess any vote to stop Hillary. Thanks. This has put this into perspective.

        5. Tears of laughter perhaps. Isn’t Russia getting ready to privatize more state assets to enrich the oligarchs? Also Putin iwants a “national guard” that reports directly to him and not he Duma. What a guy.

      3. The ability of the President to restrict immigration of any group he feels he needs to is written into the constitution. All he has to do is issue an executive order.

      4. fucking bullshit never mind trump tell me why i should vote for any of the others ?????
        Your opinion is at the same level as an atheist’s

      5. So do nothing. Defeatists and concern trolls like you are so boring. Ruin all of the parties too. Have you ever considered not being such a drag?

  4. I’m still wary of Trump, but for some reason, Cruz gives me a very bad spine.

  5. It’s not likely to happen. The election will be rigged enough not to avoid him winning (that would be too much even for the GOP), but to avoid him having a crushing victory.

      1. I guess there is no place for the mustache.
        But now that we’re at it, I would like to see a black man who looks like Hitler. And then a black woman.

        1. “I would like to see a black man who looks like Hitler”

  6. I stumbled on an academic article which – surprise, surprise – models US politics and confirms that the US is an oligarchy of corporate and super-rich interests.

    http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPage=online&aid=9354310
    So is it any wonder that all the long knives are out for Trump, while the people who realize they’ve been duped for years so avidly back him as an outsider who is probably the last chance to turn the tables?
    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-13/2016-year-americans-found-out-their-elections-are-rigged

  7. I’ll vote Trump if he wins the nomination, but the last two or three weeks have demonstrated to me that not only does he not know what he’s doing, but that he hasn’t surrounded himself with people who know what they’re doing.
    Some are crying about the way that Cruz won Colorado, but the reality is that Cruz’s team figured out a way to game the system and worked the problem, while Trump’s team did not.
    And the fact that no one in Trump’s camp told him that he had nothing to gain from doing an interview with Chris Matthews (and everything to lose) just tells me that they’re in over their head. He needs to stop shooting from the hip and apply himself to do whatever is necessary in winning this election if he’s actually serious about it.

    1. Cruz has now inherited all the insiders that were working for the other candidates. The insiders already understood the mechanics of the Colorado primary and used it, thereby denying the will of over one million voters in Colorado. These elitists used undemocratic means to give Cruz Colorado. The fact that Cruz would use such unethical means to win a state primary is indicative as to what kind of leader he would be.

      1. I don’t disagree, I’ve lost a lot of respect for Cruz over the past couple of months. But I still feel like Trump is just winging it instead of actually doing work.

    2. I’m a CO resident. Don’t believe the cuck narrative that Trump
      was out worked on the ground or didn’t understand the rules. Fact is, it
      would have been a waste of Trump’s time and resources to campaign in CO. He might have won a handful of delegates but, the game was rigged from the start, and the rigging happened long before Trump came along.
      Here’s what the cucks won’t tell you: Two things prompted the Colorado GOP to forgo actual voting. Both are related to the state’s libertarian impulses. First, Ron Paul enraged the establishment in 2012 by winning the bulk of Colorado’s delegates. They changed the rules to make sure something like that would happened again. Second, the vote to legalize weed truly traumatized Colorado’s social conservatives. Finally, a desperate state GOP decided not to let republicans vote in primaries. There was nothing Trump could have done to win.
      Shining the light on the GOP’s corruption is far more valuable than Trump winning a few delegates.

  8. Trump has some troubling aspects, notably the eagerness to use nuclear weapons and pro-torture beliefs. I don’t want a Berlin wall built in America either. And yet he is still head and shoulders above anyone else. That speaks volumes about the state of American politics and democracy in general.

    1. You are anti-torture? I’m all for it.
      I am for Trump or bust. I cannot bring myself to cast a vote for any of the other candidates. This is one of the worst elections I have been a part of. Do you remember a time when we had worst candidates?

      1. I’m going to assume you are sincere in your support of torture. That would be a step backwards of around 900 years of civilization. I suppose the only good thing one could say concerning torture is that it wouldn’t push us back to the stone age the way using nukes would.
        England first reformed torture when King Henry II introduced a jury system in the 12th century, which judged a person based on facts and evidence, not coercion or bodily injury by the state.
        The Magna Carta continued this in 1215. Torture was fully abolished in 1640 in England, and indeed became a founding legal principal in the 13 colonies when they rebelled and established their own government. Most European powers abolished torture by the 1700s, when European civilization was expanding and flourishing.
        Torture was one thing that set the western Allies apart from the “uncivilized” Japs, who would systematically rape and torture (See Unit 731), and was used as an argument of the Allies moral superiority.
        Today several legal covenants prohibit torture, namely the Convention on Human Rights, Geneva Conventions, Rome Statute of the ICC, 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man, and laws of most individual nations.
        There are philosophical, ethical, and practical arguments against torture. Today the only states utilizing torture are totalitarian states (North Korea, Saudi Arabia), parts of the United States (especially its secret police state bases in Cuba and Iraq), and some African primitive tribes. A thinking, rational human being today that is in favor of regressing to the pre-civilization era of torture is not one with whom I can relate in any way.

        1. You have way more reason than I do. I am just bloodthirsty and ready to do anything, including torture, if it benefits us. Now, the only reason I see to not support torture is the fact that witch hunts have become so popular with innocent men being on the end of some extremely bad screwjobs.

        2. Who is us? I can’t foresee how I personally would benefit from torturing anyone. So we must invent artificial groupings of people in order to justify it.
          One problem with using a technique such as torture to benefit “us” is that one quickly moves from the category of “us” to the category of “them” and finds himself a victim of torture.

        3. When you’re fighting animals like Muslims, you either play by their rules or you lose. Had EU authorities tortured some of the extremists they’ve managed to capture, Brussels could have been avoided.

        4. Doubtful, besides most of that is fearmongering. I’m not fighting any Muslims. Hell, I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen one in person. My problems are much more visceral and real than some cult worshippers thousands of miles away.

        5. Us is whoever happens to be in my ingroup. Do you fear that you will eventually become a victim of torture? I suppose it could become like the recent rape cases where innocent men are doomed based on somebody’s word alone, but torturing can be an effective way to get info and protect a nation.

        6. A nation that is protected through immoral acts is not a nation worth preserving.
          If one does not fear that the police powers of the state, which now include torture, and the ability to kill a citizen without ever charging him with a crime, will only be used against “bad people” then I would suggest a brief review of history.
          https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/NOTE1.HTM

        7. Thanks for the link. It is disturbing. Hmm. I may have been mistaken in some of my beliefs. I am against the police state. I did not connect how torture could be used in this way. The act of torture is not immoral to me, but it can be abused by the government.

        8. if you think the allies didnt torture you are wrong !!
          there was no good and evil in WW2 thats a myth for children and the gullible.
          Can’t say i care too much about torture but then your point about king henry and why it was introduced makes perfect sense. I think i would be ok with it as a form of punishment for certain crimes but not as a way to obtain confession.

        9. War itself is a crime, and indeed many more “innocent” civilians suffer than soldiers. There were atrocities committed by both sides, but specifically the Japanese waterboarded and tortured prisoners of war, which was deemed a war crime, and they were indeed prosecuted at Nuremburg for doing the very activities now condoned by the US military. While the firebombing of Dresden, for example, was an awful attack on German women and children, and there are several examples of Allied atrocities, the routine torture and waterboarding, activities of Unit 731 and experiments of Dr. Mengele are without parallel on the allied side.
          Torture is strictly prohibited as a form of punishment for any crime by the Bill of Rights in America.

        10. well at least you are aware of some of them on the allied side.
          Read about the nuremburg trials the word farce isn’t adequate and the whole thing was ludicrous. Do you not think if the axis powers they would have had trials with “evidence” too ?? and while you mention it they used plenty of torture to obtain these confessions. They are all facts that you can check out if scratch beyond the surface. You never mentioned the nuclear bombs either surely the worst crimes in humanity ???

        11. at least you have your eyes open my friend !! the red pill only extends to women for many on this site

        12. You cannot bomb the shit out of a people. Meddle and manipulate with their government and economy to suit your agenda. Unleash and empower tyrants amongst them. Saturate your media with an Islamic hate campaign to promote the war effort. Then ally and serve a brutal oppressor in Israel that quite happily drops phosphorus incendiaries on school children keeping its native inhabitants caged and not expect jimmies to be rustled.
          The kicker is on one hand we are told to hate and kill these people in warfare then embrace and accept them in our homelands on mass and chastised if we oppose. The Elite play us for fools yet we happily oblige.

        13. Feminism is an effect some ‘red pillars’ like to dwell on. The cause behind it doesn’t really seem to matter to them.
          Then there are others that take pleasure in gentile gender wars and actively promote hate in the manosphere much like feminists promote the hatred of men.
          Feminism is getting out of control though. Zionists are not being seen as victims in feminist circles as much as they used to so I wont be surprised to see Criticism of the movement start to arise from the media and prominent Jews until they fall back in line.

        14. The book ‘Hellstorm’ by Thomas Goodrich is an incredibly eye opening book on the war atrocities committed by the allies that we have never been informed in our history books, so called documentary tv shows or countless Hollywood WW2 movies.

        15. The victors write the history. I suppose one could make the argument that the allies war crimes were worse than the axis (although the allies did completely rule out some arbitrary things like waterboarding and torture and human experimentation. While often doing much worse things at the same time.)

    2. “I don’t want a Berlin wall built in America either.”
      The Berlin Wall was built by east German communists to keep their citizens from fleeing the workers paradise. You did know that, yes? Or is that you just being a swarmy little shit? The wall being suggested by Trump, and others, is to keep millions of illegal invaders from sucking us dry in more taxes and keeping the globalists happy. It wouldn’t work. I would advocate high density mix minefields and armed patrols. ROI would be 5 years tops.

      1. Eh… so you agree with the “smarmy little shits” that the wall is a bad idea? Ditto.

        1. Did you not realize it was built to keep people in the east?
          They turned east Germany into almost a prison camp…
          this is not in any even remote form of thinking known to me comparable.
          Dude Check your socialist bullshit meter because mine is freaking out from over here.,,

        2. That’s exactly the fear many critics are pointing out.. the wall that some think will be used to keep others out, will more than likely be used to keep you in.

        3. So just thinking here but you would prefer an open border? I’m a bit distracted because the smell of the flounder I fileed for dinner sticks to me right now like the “smell my fingers” thing.
          But let’s consider this seriously, about 1 quadrillion people built walls in the past and I believe something like 6-7 were actually used to keep people in…
          So it’s not a huge risk is it? I’m not trying to be an ass about it and I respect you but this doesn’t compute man…

        4. I can see both sides of that issue. I will say this: Imagine there was a wall or border around each of the 50 states. That would have huge negative effects on travel, commerce, freedom, etc. right? Imagine you had to live and work in the same town you grew up in, unless you obtained permission from another town. Bad idea, right? Somehow a wall or fixed border magically becomes good once we are talking about a big enough group? I’m not sure I buy that.

  9. To think that a country’s salvation will come through the voting polls is a grave mistake. How can you expect millions of morons and idiots to take one single concerted and rational decision. Highly, highly improbable.
    Last night i saw the future of this country and it’s not pretty. Because what i saw was Hillary.

  10. As for all this prognostication as to whether Trump can beat Hillary or Hillary can beat Trump: so far almost everything the “experts” have predicted about Trump has been wrong. So why keep predicting?

  11. “Its time for change”.
    And by “change” I mean exactly the same.
    And by “exactly the same” I mean worse.
    But my skin color is different so you know, kinda change.

  12. If Trump can avoid getting fucked out of the nomination, I wonder if, as Matt predicted here, it will cause a shift in GOP campaigning similar to Nixon’s Southern Strategy. Would be interesting to see.
    In the meantime, I sure as fuck hope those German-Scandinavian cocksucking cucks in the Mid-West get thoroughly fucking enriched for their treasonous support of Cruz and Glenn Beck.

    1. Remember in ’80 Regan vs Carter. The news networks kept hedging the numbers all summer long in ’80 posting results as ‘too close to call’. Remember Mike Wallace, Dan Rather and Jessica Savitch all drumming the ‘too close to call’ anouncements even throughout the fall of ’80. Really it wasn’t until election night that the bottom fell out on the MSM spin. ”Ooh boy, it’s a landslide” on Nov. 7. It was like Mr Bill going ”OOOH-NOOO!!”
      The MSM wasn’t whistling this tune until a mere 4 hours before midnight on the 7th when they were literally slapped in the face with the results. Then they had to choke out their words. This really takes you back.

      1. Which is why you should never trust US media. They are nothing but the propaganda organ of the democrat party.

  13. “New Yorkers are too wise to fall for a con man like Cruz.” – Same state that elected Hillary the Carpetbagger.

    1. If only Trump had filled in that square of his pyramid list of duties and produced a fleet of those, many prospective cabinet men would gladly marry into Trump’s bloodline thereby replacing the current beer foam scrough in Washington with an ever expanding dynastic bloodline. A president who screws only the finest and produces a quality line from chassis to finish, that’s what we need.

  14. Great article. I look forward to seeing NY’s primary results on Wednesday morning. And I predict the loud Cruz supporters will drop their WI gloating and return to calling me “stupid.”

  15. Its pretty simple, really: Trump as POTUS can propose all kinds of outrageous stuff. Then the Congress, with encouragement of the totally anti-Trump mainstream media, can adopt well-reasoned legislation putting the brakes to Trump’s excesses, since it will earn them brownie points with the press. The politicos never had the stones to stop BHO, since they feared being cast as “racist”, no matter how truly racist, stupid or anti-American, Obama’s policies were. No such worries with Trump’s policy proposals!

  16. This whole election cycle has been nothing more than a bunch of retards getting into a slap fight over the last cup of pudding.
    Just remember: the conservative superPACs made this possible via the Citizens United case where John Roberts and his conservative cadre gave the rubber stamp for unlimited campaign spending.
    Fuck, my balls itch. I’m out.
