Pussy Riot member on Trump: Everyone laughed at Putin too.

For many on the left wing, Donald J. Trump has been the gift that has kept on giving, providing the media with headline after headline of absurd gaffes that, in years’ past, would’ve knocked any potential candidate from the field. Instead, this year has found that the more ridiculous Trump gets, the more responsive his voter base grows. And that’s dangerous — and it always has been. Most recently, it’s lead to the election of Russia’s Vladimir Putin, as Pussy Riot’s Maria Alekhina told the Huffington Post.

Shattering

For Republicans, 2016 will prove to be no normal election, because it will confirm that the new America is here and that the counterrevolution has lost. That is why I expect the result to be shattering for the Republican Party as we know it.

I don't know any Dems around here who are supporting Sanders

But this is the Deep South and most Democrats are AA so thay probably explains the complete lack of suppprt for, or even passing interest in, the Sanders campaign. Texas sure is going to send a lot of Hillary delegates to the convention. I would love to be one.
