He's also 69. Brock will be after his health records soon enough.

It would appear that Romney has given her a TREASURE TROVE of clips that can be used to make a DOZEN or more TV commercials.

I don't agree with you on anything. But can we at least agree that while your statement is true, the entire would has been sharing Hillary clips that make her look TERRIBLE. Did it stop you from supporting her?

I doubt it will stop those who already support him

Would you say record turnout in almost every Republican primary is a coincidence?

Or that he beat Romney's total in Romney's own state by almost 100,000?

The numbers are out there. I don't want them to be. People can say they don't want him all they want though.

We will have two very polarizing candidates if HRC-Trump is the matchup and both sides have people who will never vote for their party's standard bearer

but think back to 2008: Democrats were setting the turnout records then, why? because we were coming off of the disastrous W administration. the out-of-office party tends to have better primary turnout but it doesn't always translate to electoral success.

Republicans are setting the primary turnout records now. that's not a big surprise -- there are more people now, there are more Republicans now, and 8 years of president Obama is an amazing motivator.

but the important question is, motivator of who? the racists and xenophobes, brought together with the banksters through Nixon's southern strategy, who have been justifiably dissatisfied with the Republican party for decades. president Obama has made those people extremely angry, very angry indeed.

they will NOT be enough to save the presidency for the Republicans. think of the bind they're in.

nominating Trump would be a complete disaster for the Republican party -- he'll get a smallish fraction of the Hispanic vote the Republicans so desperately need to win the white house. he will destroy their down-ticket chances, too. he'll taint their brand for a decade.

not nominating Trump if he has a plurality of the delegates at the convention will be hilariously bad for them, too. if he runs as an independent, he'll shatter the GOP coalition that's been working for the Republican establishment since 1968.

whatever you may think of Hillary, her candidacy stands to benefit greatly from this scenario.

knowing that some people supporting Bernie have said if Hillary gets the nomination, they'll vote for that abomination, over her. It's their vote to do what they want with. My right to be completely disgusted.
