I voted for Kasich yesterday. I like the cut of his jib
Then you should also thank the Donald for finishing the job of turning the GOP into a world wide joke.
I am sure that you are completely unbiased with that statement.
They made themselves a joke by lying to their base supporters. What the rest of the world thinks of them doesn't matter. They can't vote for them.
The real joke is the Obama/Clinton foreign policy.
And would never vote for him in the general.
Kasich was talking about receiving an applause at some pancake house in Ohio yesterday and nearly crying.
I'd vote for Hillary. Unlike Kasich, she has an actual pussy (Chelsea confirms).
Boehner endored Paul Ryan today.
Get them all the fuck outta here today.
I'm switching to democrat. They know how to deal with the opposition.
and I'm dead inside at this point. I just don't care.
The republicans fucking suck. WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER WITH THEM????
At least with the democrats, I'll get free stuff if I ever lose my job.
fuck it.
Hillary 2016.

i've said this before, I would vote for Rand Paul and John Kasich over Clinton in the general. I voted for Mark Kirk(R) for senator in 2010 and I voted for Bruce Rauner(R) for governor in 2014. You don't know sh*t about me :hatsoff:
Trump would go third party. That is where my vote would go. No way will I support any GOP nominee other than Trump or Cruz. They are the voter's choice.
I only know about you by the views that you post here.
Rand and Kasich both say they would stop illegal immigration. Don't see you backing that.
Once again, you don't know sh*t about me. Have a good day sir
I think that is called serendipity.

So much is wrong with that clip, it would take all day to correct it.
But one, particularly sticks in my craw.
The U.S. Constitution does not say that treason is only applicable during a time of war but rather uses the words "levying war" Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were convicted of treason and sentenced to death and we were not technically engaged in a war with the Soviet Union.
In addition to the definition in Article 3 section 3 three is U.S. Code Title 18 chapter 2381 . Ted Cruz is correct and this clip is full of nifty Stamps claiming False when in fact the makers of this video are dead wrong.

You seem surprised presidential candidates could lie or distort facts.
Anyway, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were not convicted of treason for the same reason you gave (the US was not in war with the Sowjet Union) so they were charged under espionage provisions.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ted-cruz-frank-gaffney-islamophobia_us_56eb11cbe4b03a640a69fc3bTed Cruz’s New Adviser Is Even More Anti-Muslim Than Donald Trump
Here are some of the most Islamophobic theories spun out of the mind of Frank Gaffney.
WASHINGTON — A big part of Sen. Ted Cruz’s appeal is that he’s not Donald Trump, the openly bigoted billionaire currently leading the Republican Party’s presidential race.
But the notion that a Cruz presidency would be more palatable to those concerned about Trump’s anti-Muslim stance came into doubt on Thursday, when Cruz unveiled his own team of national security advisers. It includes Frank Gaffney, a man described by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “one of America’s most notorious Islamophobes.”
Gaffney, who served in the Reagan-era Defense Department, now heads the Center for Security Policy. It’s a think tank of sorts well known for promoting conspiratorial theories about the Muslim Brotherhood infiltrating the U.S. government at high levels and the Sharia system replacing American democracy.
Well aware that he is not the GOP establishment’s favorite, Cruz has been urging primary voters to see him as the most likely candidate to beat Trump. But it’s not clear that the Texas senator offers much of an alternative to Trump’s offensive rhetoric. When Trump proposed banning all Muslims from entering the U.S. in December, Cruz said he disagreed with the idea, but he refused to criticize Trump and said, “I understand why Donald made that proposal.”
Now Cruz is enlisting the help of Gaffney, the same man who created a bogus survey claiming to show that many U.S. Muslims were willing to use violence against other Americans and that even more wanted the option to be governed by Sharia. Trump later used that survey as justification for a Muslim ban.
Here are some of the more outrageous claims made by Cruz’s new foreign policy adviser:
- In the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, Gaffney suggested that then-President Saddam Hussein had been involved in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, committed by Timothy McVeigh.
- In 2009, Gaffney questioned whether Obama was America’s first Muslim president or simply playing one. “The man now happy to have his Islamic-rooted middle name featured prominently has engaged in the most consequential bait-and-switch since Adolf Hitler duped Neville Chamberlain over Czechoslovakia at Munich,” Gaffney wrote.
- In 2010, Gaffney accused Obama of dismantling American missile defense capability in an act of U.S. submission to Islam. He cited a “new” Missile Defense Agency logo as evidence, suggesting that the logo appeared to be a combination of Obama’s campaign symbol and the Islamic crescent and star. He later corrected that post, acknowledging that the logo was neither new nor produced under Obama’s direction. (Below see the older logo on the left, which the Missile Defense Agency still uses as well, and the newer logo on the right.)
- When President Barack Obama nominated Elena Kagan to serve on the Supreme Court in 2010, Gaffney accused her of being soft on Sharia during her time as dean of Harvard Law School. His group financed an ad that asked, “If Kagan tolerates promoting the injustice of Sharia law on the campus of Harvard, what kind of injustice will she tolerate in America during a lifetime on the Supreme Court?”
- Gaffney suggested that Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. troops in Afghanistan at the time, was submitting to Sharia when Petraeus condemned the burning of a Quran by a Florida pastor.
- Gaffney has accused a bipartisan array of political elites of being secretly tied to the Islamist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood, including longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin and conservative heavyweights Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan.
- Gaffney has objected to Reps. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and Andre Carson (D-Ind.) serving on the House Intelligence Committee because they are Muslim and therefore, he said, likely to leak information to the Muslim Brotherhood.
- While the rest of the world marveled at the ignorance that led authorities in Irving, Texas, to mistake 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed’s homemade clock for a bomb last year, Gaffney wrote that the school did the right thing by suspending Ahmed and calling the police. His group later honored Beth Van Duyne, the mayor of Irving and a Sharia alarmist, with the Freedom Flame Award for her “efforts to protect the Constitution.”
- Gaffney hosted white nationalist Jared Taylor on his radio show last fall and praised Taylor’s American Renaissance website as “wonderful.” During the show, Taylor challenged the idea that the desperate people now flooding into Europe are refugees, calling that description a myth “touted by liberals.” When asked about the consequences of these individuals moving to Europe, Taylor said, “We have unleashed now what would not be an exaggeration to call almost demonic forces.”
- When Trump proposed a ban on Muslims’ entry into the U.S last year, Gaffney quickly jumped to his defense. “Mr. Trump has clearly picked up on a conviction increasingly shared by millions of Americans,” he wrote on his group’s website. “They have begun to see the Obama administration has long been downplaying, misrepresenting and mishandling a threat more and more of us see plainly.”
- When Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.) invited Broward County Deputy Sheriff Nazar Hamze to this year’s State of the Union address, Gaffney accused Hamze of being “tied to a group that is directly linked to Hamas.” He was referring to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington-based advocacy group.
- Gaffney accused Pope Francis of having “rabidly anti-American” views after the pope said in February that it’s “not Christian” to urge the deportation of undocumented immigrants and vow to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
A few years ago, it looked as though the Republican Party was ready to sever ties with Gaffney and his inflammatory claims. He was banned from the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in 2011 after accusing Norquist and Khan of ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
But since then, Gaffney has staged a comeback. GOP presidential hopefuls Cruz, Trump, Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson, Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee all appeared at his group’s events last year. Months ago, Cruz offered the following praise for the zealot: “Frank is a patriot, he loves this country, and he’s clear-eyed about radical Islamic terrorism.”
Cruz may actually believe Gaffney’s conspiracy theories or he may be making a strategic calculation to link himself with Gaffney in an effort to win over some of Trump’s supporters. Either way, it shows the Republican Party’s willingness to embrace Islamophobia and its most vocal adherents.
Ted Cruz : even more dangerous for America and for the sake of the world than Donald Trump...
Um..Gaffney is very knowledgeable and a great addition to the Cruz team.
You didn't even know who he was until you read it in one of your left wing sources. Half of this country are proud Islamophobes. He'll be well received regardless.
Suck it.

You are getting ready to find out how dangerous they are. One of them is going to be the next President Of The United States.
You might want to start storing your urine in jars.
Trump also has also started to name his national security advisory team.

Muthafuckas are rioting and disrupting Trump's rallies. They weren't doing that to Dole, Bush, McCain and Romney.
THIS is a new American political revolution. Hot damn!

No, they won't. I trust the american people to remember what their country stands for, what they stand for. I trust the american people not to suurender itself to fascism or theocracy.
But if it were to happen, I may start storing my urine in jar as you suggest me : who know, I might get an opporunity to throw one of these jar to the face of the US Duce or the US mollah.
Trump for the most part kilt it at AIPAC tonight. Though I cringed every time he referred to "palestine."
I think Kasich had the best speech though, and though his heart bleeds a little too much for my taste, he's still most qualified to be Commander in Chief.
But it's a moot point. Why is Kasich still running? Either he's a selfish prick and wants to be a spoiler (like a contested convention is going to choose the distant 3rd candidate) or he wants to be VP as has been pointed out.
It's the Trump tsunami - ride the wave or get swept over. Someone will clean up the debris later.
