Will be interesting to see what happens with other races over the summer.
That is precisely what I plan to do.

You are soooooo wrong to assume that we won't.

For me personally these days, I have only one thing to say to at least 90% of the political class (be they politicians, media, lobbyists, consultants, donors, campaign guys, staffers, etc). It's a two word expression and the first word starts with F.
Trump is to the left of the establishment ideology does matter. If he were the nominee and by some miracle was able to win, the gop will most likely lose the Senate... Let the deals begin. Trump and Harry Reid will make Mitch McConnell look like Attilla the Hun.

I understand where you're coming from.

Sometimes I think being "Anti-Political Correctness" is some sort of code word for "I AM A BIGOT AND I'M PROUD OF IT!"

It's okay to make fun and harass minorities, gays and women. You don't need Mr. Trump for that.

Trump is The Media Trump Is a Master at Manipulating the Media - US News

He campaigned for governer all over the state of New York and then in the end refused to officially run unless unopposed. Look it up.

He has run for president multiple times. Donald Trump is a politician. And there is no such thing as an anti-establishment billionaire.

Trust me I agree with your sentiments about the government and the media. And because of those very convictions I could never support Trump.
Your links are fascinating. Trump is dominating the media and he gave the roadmap in an interview in 1987. The only place he blew it was skipping the debate in Iowa. That didn't work out so well for him since he lost the state.

"Lost the state". He was only down by one single delegate. Cruz got 8, Trump got 7. Stop acting like he completely bombed.

I support the 1st Amendment. The 1st Amendment is not politically correct in what it protects.

Yours is a vague question that is unanswerable. How do you know how they voted? You are assuming that everyone's represented voted wrongly every time.
