This.

But then again were talking about a generation that aspires to make fry cooking and working a cash register a "livable career", but also want to make it so you can have a masters degree while doing so, all while making the "evil rich people" pay for it.

Pastor Ted is speaking.

The fact that I keep hearing "Amen" from his supporters scares me more than anything that Trump has said...

And if you're putting social issues ahead of the US economy, you're not very sharp.
I have written many times in the past that I think it's a shame that people vote for President based on the economy.

However, having said that: Do you REALLY think Donald Trump has ANY clue with respect to macro economics? Really? When he's saying stuff like he's going to put tariffs on Chinese goods to "solve" the China problem? When he's saying stuff like we hold the cards with respect to China economically so we can make them handle Korea for us?

You BUY that crap?
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

"Russia is a threat again"

Hello, Cold War.

And Cruz is a rational candidate?

Cruz does have a problem with his persona. He does come off as creepy. But he has a way better understanding of how to approach governance than Donald Trump does. And he actually knows and respects the Constitution. Trump does not.

And, look, it didn't have to be Cruz. Republican primary voters had a number of choices. And they ended up picking the absolute worst that they could've picked.

"Freedom of religion"

The problem with this phrase is twofold.

One Democrats hate religion, perferring statism instead.

Two, Republicans believe that freedom of religion only applies to Christianity.

We have nothing on how Trump would govern, but let's be serious, all Cruz did was block and argue everything in Congress. Which is fine if he had fruitful debates with the opposition before making those decisions. But no, he can't even do that.

Are you saying Cruz is irrational because he said Russia is a threat again? I mean, I don't know if you're saying Cruz said that and therefore he's irrational but if that's what you're saying I don't get it because it's pretty obvious that Russia is a threat again.

Does anyone really think the President is the "governor" of the nation?

The POTUS IS a figurehead. Who the President is doesn't matter, is who he surrounds himself with.

Cruz just said that in his concession speech.

The "Good vs Evil" argument.

So by that argument, Russia should see us as a threat as well then?

The POTUS is a figurehead? He has powerful Constitutional powers, while advised, are still his decision.

Cruz suspends his campaign. I'm watching his concession speech and he just thanked Carli Fiorina for being an "amazing running mate".

:rofl:

All 4 days!!!!

:rofl:

I'm sad to see this end...

He "signs off on the decision", he also goes by the winds of public opinion as well. He is the face of the nation.
