    and staying in to ensure Trump wins. All polls I've seen so far show Hildabest beating Trump hands down. Conversely all polls I've seen show Cruz beating the hildabest..RNC rather the hildabeast than Cruz..says much.

          it's repulsive that we cannot predict the actions of
          politicians, based on their statements or promises
          or history, even. . and the voters are so fickle that
          the kardashians have more sway than reason. -- j

            Plus one for that.
            George couldn't tell a lie ---that was once taught to me as a virtue.
            Again if fickle means brainwashed .

              I get the impression that the majority in the u.s. are
              preoccupied with looking good and keeping up with
              the joneses over trivial stuff, so that their voting is
              as much a social event as their trips to kohl's for the
              latest fashions. . they end up being effectively brain-
              washed, because groupthink yields nbc-abc-cbs
              attitudes towards elections. . George wouldn't go
              over well with the anchors of the mainstream
              media these days. . truth is what they say it is. -- j

        Well, that's what I've been saying here and elsewhere for the past year or so...
        Each election has been crazier (my word) than the last one for decades!

      Too bad the repubs are so against trump when he is getting the popular votes. Cruz is a religious nutcase who is a closet tool for wall street. Candidates who take contributions from powerful groups always want (and get) favors to be supplied by us suckers. I am so done with this crony system. Hillary is #1 with Cruz ,#2 on that score now that Bush is out

        Not even close on that one...Cruz is the only one that will stick to the constitution no matter what. He nor his wife are shills for anyone...I posted the article about here dissenting view of NA integration.
        Not to mention his loan was legit and not connected. If it was (and it's not) they would be taking his repayments and giving it to his adversaries they are funding.

          Cruz got lots of big contributors to his campaign who all are going to want favors. Its just the way its played now. Trump even told us how it works.

          Cruz is sneaky and hides behind the constitution, but I dont feel comfortable with him, and he isnt getting the popular votes, just support from the people who want to dump trump.

          If people keep dumping on trump, they will just insure the hildebeast gets in there and ravages us in favor of HER contributors (wall street).

          A vote for Cruz is a vote for Hildebeast.

              Its so hard to get truthful information. I saw a site that showed the total amounts of PAC money that has been contributed to the various candidates, including the ones who have dropped out. It was staggering, and Cruz was right up there with the biggest. As I remember Hillary was on top, and Carson was pretty close to Cruz. It was a story on yahoo news, but I didnt save it. Sorry

                Pac money has no ties...their just supporting a cause or a candidate...now "special interest" money like a big company, sorass, trumpet...now that's where the favors are due.
                But even so, if the principles are the same on both sides (assuming there good principles) it's not a bad thing...the favor is...please do a good job...that's how I felt when I donated to Cruz, the first time ever I put my two cents where my mouth was.

                And like always...I'm still checking up on him, just like I'm still checking myself of the research I've done in my work. That's what's called a willingness to "respond differently" when something goes wrong. [Wide Scope Accountability] It's not easy.

                  I disagree on the PAC money doesnt have strings attached. They are invisible and hidden strings, but you can bet Hillary or Cruz doesnt ignore those contributors. They dont acknowledge the strings, but they are obviously there. If HIllary treats wall street "badly", they will dump her next election. Same with Cruz. Our system is cronyism at its finest.

                    You often (unjustifiably) tout Trump as having "no strings"; yet fail to acknowledge his recent history of 'holding the strings', passing out the 'strings', and braiding the 'strings'. You hold the belief that he has "repented" of his cronyist ways and now, only "tells it like it is".

                      Trump plays the crony game with the politicians and exposes it for all to see so we can do something about it. Trump self funds his campaign. Hillary, Cruz, Rubio, and others take contributions offering in exchange political favors.

      In the end it's still a left wing victory which doesn't say much for the future....

        If there was a John galt who even wanted to run for president in this culture, he would never be elected. It's 50.1% mob rule today and he wouldn't win. Until serious re education happens, all we will see is faster or slower movement to the left

      AJ, I think the Brussels thing may sway a lot of votes Trumps way, he was the only one who forecasted it, and HillaryBeast was too busy with lawyers and making deals for the next deposit to the Clinton Foundation, to really say much.

      If true it wants explaining. Unless it's to help defeat some of the others Soros is the Chief Dude for Secular Progressivism moveon.org, ACLU and all the rest of those left of the left wing socialists. jut shy of the real extremists like the Nazi student movement and the die hard Communists.

      Lakoff aka Yoda works for him and he works with Peter Lewis. Main stated goal is to replace the Republic with a Sociaist Government.

      the one behind same sex and the money as free speech scam.

      So why Kasich? Is Kasich with that crowd? No he was Tea Party. But remember when that Republican plant raided the Populists (Perot) movement and got their nod for President? Raided their funds and ended up with Ezola Foster as running mate. The whole thing was to destroy the Populist movement.

      This could be something similar to wipe out the Republican candidates with Kasich or at least get someone suitable to the RINO rightwing of the left and at the same time split things up to ensure Wwotl Waddle Clinton is not hampered. There is no other reason for Soros to support the right wing of the left.

        Dead Nuts, M.A. Sorass is hoping for a brokered convention and revolutionary outbreak.
        They want us to loose it, they're hoping we will loose it and it will play right into their hands.
        Marx predicted the "Strong man" appearance...we have that. Alinski taught it, hiltery brought it into government.
        Our military commanders are worried about the "Bubba effect"
        That's 4 for 4 in my book...what have I missed? Are we giving "Them" too much credit? Are people Really not that stupid? Are we worried about nothing?
        My gut says no...I plan on keeping my head on straight.

          It's a safe bet but their covering it with insurance. The wild cards are Trump and of course a massive counter revolution with Cruz OR the military suddenly remembering to do it's job.

          If they can use Kasich to bounce Cruz and Trump all they lose is one of their own. If by a miracle Kasich gets the nod they get one of their own. At this point with Hillary being more and more a threat than a support Kasich might be more preferable. He is after all a right wing of the left candidate.

          They could use some fire walling after Obama to calm things down.

          I had forgotten they use brokered conventions but now I'm refining my thoughts to this. Soros is serving socialism no matter if it's Clinton or Kasich or Sanders or Trump. This brokering fits the picture.

          But you are an exception. I planned on retiring with full retirement pay intact only to find out 30% of it had disappeared by the time I passed from 64 to 65. I didn't plan on having to plan on a similar amount disappearing on the next go round. I appears like Shylock is going to take his pound of flesh no matter who gets elected and use it to feather his retirement fund and his next income as well. But then he has his own fat lady whistling a tune and waiting in the wings stage left.

        Soros is a weasel par excellance! He is doing this according to his plan. He also needs some serious plastic surgery for the bags under his eyes, unless it is a wax face melting off. Yuck.

    [sits in stunned silence]

    So Kasich's only goal is to attempt to throw the election? All he's going to end up doing is hastening the fall of the Republican Party - which I'm not really opposed to at this point.

      Kasich is a RINO he will do as he is told to do and eat his puppy chow.....arf arf arf.. A Rino is the right wing OF the left. One of the bunch that co-opted and destroyed the Tea Party
      Nothing stunning just following the script.

    Make you wonder, doesn’t it? Soros supports Kasich and he also supports the anti-Trump protestors. Evidently, he does not want Trump to win. But why back Kasich and not Cruz? Soros isn’t just trying to prevent Trump from getting the nomination, he’s trying to create as much turmoil within the Republican Party as he can.

    I'm not really surprised with the mail man & coal miner story he seems to constantly recite, along with really not having much to talk about on his resume since 1993 apparently.

    Soros has not sponsored Kasich. He is playing the usual role of disruption to undermine Cruz and Trump and to create chaos in the Republican party by leveraging off the existing controversies.

    Soros will have to do better Kasich came in fourth out of three last night. I think it's all the hate speech the left has been spewing.

    I am confused by the comments saying donating to Kasich disrupts the Republican Party. Isn't Kasich one of the party establishment favorites? You can make the same argument that donating to Trump or Kasich disrupts the party, by helping the populist or establishment branch respectively.

      Kasich is a 'spoiler' with no chance of winning enough primaries. Soros is exploiting that to block the leading candidates he hates more than Kasich, and to create and extend more confusion and controversy at a convention with no winner of the primaries going in, undermining the Republican opposition to Clinton. He wants Kasich to prevent a clear winner before the convention, especially Trump or Cruz as the winner. He is leveraging an existing situation to make it worse and try to push it over the edge into more confusion than otherwise.

        Is that true for everyone who contributes to or votes for Kasich? Is it also true of supporters of Gary Johnson?

          Kasich himself is deliberately doing that; he knows he has no chance to win the primaries and is trying to force a contested election in the hope of manipulating himself into position. But he is an establishment politician with no legitimate reason to be there at all.

          As for supporters, not necessarily. People who support whom they want to win can have a negative effect, but aren't necessarily motivated like a Soros. Soros is sophisticated operator who knows exactly how the system works and what he can do to cause disruption for his own political ends (which do not include wanting the Republican establishment).

          Supporters of minority candidates should, however, look at the consequences of what they are doing and vote realistically. Votes are for deciding within a limited range of realistic choices who will be in power, not for making a "statement". Someone who wants to make a statement should make a statement and not confuse it with voting.
