Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles

Would the "rioters" be wearing brown shirts, or sheets? Inquiring people want to know.

Eek no. Because they make me look skinny. I'm wearing my True Religion jeans and a pinstripe button down shirt. Oh, and some tennis shoes, maybe my Merrels.

Yeah, right.
I wouldn't be so sure they all read, never mind what they read.

Same words he used for the crazy NH vet when he asked about Muslim training camps:

Time to use our Trump Dictionary™

Whenever you hear Trump say "We'll look into it" that means Fuhgeddaboudit

This is not a threat, this is the truth. Republicans are playing with fire if they try to nominate John Kasich when Donald Trump is within striking distance of the magic number. Trump should be the nominee.

It's amazing how stupid the GOP really is, take the Supreme Court situation. They are so obstructionist, even to other Republicans.

A contested election is no guarantee that Trump still won't prevail.
This is what happens, boys and girls, when you drink the whole case of Flavor Aid.

Perhaps Cleveland should double its recent order for riot gear:

hmm i don't like it- he is used to talking to intelligent high end rich people in a board room- and having his way- he is asking to bend the rules and if not-- suffer the consequences of a mob? He can talk to most people and they get what he is saying, but many already digging up the pitch forks and making flaming bottles of soot.

I KNOW that, DC, you're missing the point completely. "Apparently they are" is said in a very, very sarcastic tone.

Let's be realistic here for one second.

I think it is safe to say that Kasich will suspend his campaign pretty soon. I don't see how he can continue to fund it.

So the fight would be between Cruz and Trump. Both of them have low probability of winning against Hilary as of now. So why would they not choose Trump?

This is just republican drama. Trump theatrics. Nonsense.
