The only politician in the race with real integrity is Sanders and he wont win. So youre left with the other 2 clowns. At least Trump recognizes illegal immigration and biased "free trade" are problems. From Hilary we get promises of affordable college and the helping the working man, meanwhile while taking huge bribes from the likes of Sallie Mae and Goldman Sachs (ahem yeah right). One could argue Donald will at least be able to close some tax loopholes hes familiar with and make a fair corporate tax structure which disincentivizes offshoring of American jobs.
I have a bridge for sale you might be interested in. Quite a deal. You can trust me. I'm a doctor.

Well, we got the endorsement part of the wish. Now we wait with baited breath in hopes of the "Donald & Sarah [Try To] Go to Washington" reality show.

In July, Trump said in a radio interview he would "love" to have Palin in his administration "because she really is somebody who knows what's happening and she's a special person."

Her endorsement could help him a bit with the Tea Party and the evangelical wings of the party. He currently isn't usually their primary pick, but they may end up warming up to him a bit and end up supporting him.

Relative to California, the state is a "winner take all" concerning delegates, so since Cruz and Trump are running a fairly close race according to the latest Field poll, anything that can get Trump some votes is a help. It certainly won't hurt him in his contest against Cruz in California.

Sarah Palin is a freaking idiot. She preaches family values yet her daughter is pregnant again out of wedlock by a different guy and her son just got arrested for domestic violence. She endorsed Trump who called her former running mate a loser and who made fun of a journalist with a disability when her youngest son has a disability.

Alaska governors "endorsing candidates" from their party doesnt mean jack. Now if he tries to make her the vice president...

She will do anything to make a buck. Including pimping her daughter out.

Now im no Bush fan either but our financial mess is a bipartisan effort (and useless wars in conjunction with tax cuts certainly made things worse). Remember Obama and Bush facilitated the bailing of banks out of their own bad decisions by taxpayers.

The sooner you accept both parties are shills of the same financial elite the better you will be. Having a parliamentary system where representatives with 5% or more of the vote getting seats is much better than our winner take all both are bribed crap.

Also a candidates donors say a lot about their future policies. And Hilary is financed by banking at a donor rate of 10x higher than Bernie or Trump. Say what you want about Trump but at least he ran a business, Hilary has done nothing aside from leeching off taxpayers (ie politics)
Yeah that's the usual response from people like you when confronted with facts that it was the Cons who spearheaded the whole banking deregulations that led to the collapse.

Succinct and well said..conservatives who are tired of paying for all the liberals here.. Some fifty percent work to support the rest who are only too happy to suck off the rest of everyone else while bleating about their rights to free stuff

We don't have to give up this state which has been gutted and ruined by liberals...

If we learned nothing else during the 2012 election, it is that some of us are makers, hard-working folk solely responsible for America's prosperity, and others are takers, who want the federal government to pay for luxuries like food and health care.

What may come as some surprise is where these two warring tribes tend to live. The states with elected officials most likely to espouse anti-taker sentiments -- i.e., Republican-dominated states -- are the most dependent on federal spending, while returning the least to Washington in the way of tax dollars.

That's according to the consumer finance site Wallet Hub, which crunched federal tax and spending data and then ranked states from most to least dependent on Uncle Sam. In the map below, green states are the least dependent, while red states -- appropriately -- are the most dependent.
GOP States Are The Most Dependent On Government
