The most remarkable think Trump said at the town hall had nothing to do with the loyalty pledge ...

... it was that two of the most important functions of government are to provide healthcare and education (and he even throws in housing).



These concepts are anathema to wingnut dogma.

I can't believe that Cruz, and Kasich, and the establishment aren't lighting their hair on fire over this.

They finally have an opening, and they're missing it.

Gallup: Obama's Approval at Three Year High


President Barack Obama’s job approval has hit an almost three-year high among Americans, according to Gallup.

Fifty-percent of Americans approve of Obama’s performance as the country’s chief executive, the highest level since May 2013. This is an uptick from his average approval rating during his seventh year in office, which was 46 percent, according to Gallup.


This is a direct reflection of the quality of candidates comprising this year's primaries fields.

Ha! I early voted for Hillary in the FL primary, but have been barred from the Hillary Group ...

Sheesh.

DU is a trip, man.

Congratulations to Bernie Sanders, his campaign, and his supporters!

Truly a great and stunning victory for his message in Michigan last night.

Kudos and best of luck going forward.
