  • Looks like the pundits' thought process that stated that as more people dropped out of the race, the gap between the establishment and Trump would narrow were wrong, at least in Nevada. Trump is currently sitting at 46% of the vote, an increase of …
  • I think Carver had the potential to be a better villain than Waltz's Blofeld, but TND didn't go far enough into being a commentary on the media and their role in shaping world events for that to come through. Instead it was just a wall-to-wall acti…

  • Watching a story on CNN where they're asking people to just identify who each of the presidential candidates are by looking at a photo. It's actually quite frightening when these people who are voting don't know who the candidates are. Nobody knew…

  • Given how much Rubio likes to talk about how Clinton is "disqualified" from being the president during these debates, someone ought to tell him that he should be "disqualified" in the race. The man doesn't show up to work, practically getting paid …

  • Just because some will slip through doesn't mean that nothing should be done. There's nothing wrong with knowing who is coming into the country. It's not just about stopping international terrorism, but also stemming the flow of drugs into the US,…
  • The Republicans do not want Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders picking the next Supreme Court justices. They also despise Hillary Clinton with a passion. They'll rally around Trump if he's the nominee, even if they have to hold their nose while doi…

  • There is a lot that's embarrassing about the state of the US political system, not just Trump's rise to the top of the Republican party. Both parties have been an outright embarrassment in recent years, ignoring the will of the people, even on thin…
  • No, Trump's idea isn't a good one, but continuing to do virtually nothing about the border is an equally bad idea.
  • Border security is something that has been long overdue to be discussed and actually fixed on the national level. I'm not one that's living in daily fear of a terrorist attack, but at the same time, there has to be some kind of common sense way for…
  • If it does turn out to be Trump vs. Clinton, I could see Trump taking it due to low voter turnout, which always works in the favor of the Republicans. A general election between those two would be one of the biggest mud-slinging contests we've ever…

  • I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that the right wing of the US has "lost its collective mind". This election very well could lead to the destruction of what the Republican party had become thanks to the Tea Party. If Donald Trump can bas…
  • Bernie does have to step up his game, and that's only going to come when he broadens his scope a bit on the issues. Yes, keep hammering home the "rigged" economy message, but in these dangerous time, you have to show some knowledge of foreign affai…

  • He hasn't taken shots at Rubio, yet. But with the Romney endorsement coming in the next day or so and the theoretical dwindling of the field to the three man race of Trump/Cruz/Rubio, Trump is about to take the fight to Rubio, and it's going to be …
  • It'll be interesting to see what Trump does about the VP position if he ends up as the nominee. It'll be hard for him to pick one of his fellow candidates, given the vitriol he's spewed towards them. He hasn't gone after Rubio yet, but it's coming…
  • I can't see Trump taking the VP job. He'll simply decline and head back to his business or decide to run as an independent and hand Hillary the election on a silver platter. Trump will either be at the top of the ticket or he'll thumb his nose at …
  • Just my opinion, but I think the film got the reception it deserved in North America, maybe even moreso. It's just not that great of a film, especially when compared to its predecessor, and hopefully it coming in at under $200 million will force th…
  • It's a shame that he and Christie couldn't have gotten out sooner. Could have consolidated the "Governor's lane" of the race behind Kasich and maybe given him the chance to be the consensus establishment candidate to go up against Trump. Thankfu…
