Hillary slaughters Bernie in South Carolina

Minefield?

We have a very good minefield already ... called Congress ;-)

Mexico should build a wall to keep the Gringos out!

Military coup in the US? What are you drinking, honey?

Do they mean a sniper? Isn't that the American style coup for presidents?

I am not an ex-CIA director ... he said it, not me.  This is "messaging" ... if you get to the White House, you will do what every President has done since 1963 ... obey the MIC or visit Dallas.  The British Mob already did that to the new Labor head.  In honor of Capitalism, if that happens, the R-party should auction off the right to shoot him ... to the highest bidding D-person who hates him ... what they probably did 53 years ago.

Like any politician running for public office, Trump holds some positions I agree with and some that I don't. As for his behavior in this election, I think it's pretty clear that he's playing to the audience and either doesn't believe much of what he's saying, or greatly exaggerates his actual views.

Given his history, I cannot believe that this man isn't calculating most if not all of his moves. He's making all the right noises to get press coverage, and saying all the right things to get the conservative base on his side. If he gets nominated and goes to general election as the Republican Candidate, he can then mellow out to attract independents while still using enough rhetoric to keep the conservatives with him; and I suspect this is exactly what he'll do, given the chance. Worst case scenario, he may continue as an independent and divide the base so that the Republicans can't win; this would result in a likely win for the Democrats and make conservatives all the more desperate to unite behind Trump or someone he supports in 2020.

With regard for Bernie, I have to agree with others' sentiment in this thread: he's too much of a one-trick pony to be competitive in the long run.
