Nevada 2016 Republican results: Donald Trump wins the caucuses
Donald Trump just won Nevada in a blowout

Donald Trump has won Tuesday's Nevada caucuses, according to calls by multiple media outlets. Trump won about 46 percent of the vote — 22 points ahead of his closest competitor, Marco Rubio, who drew 24 percent.

Ted Cruz came in third place in the state with around 21 percent, Ben Carsoncame in fourth with around 4.8, and John Kasich came in last with about 3.6 percent.

The victory will put Trump a bit further ahead in the delegate chase, which he currently leads by a large margin. But he won't gain too much ground — Nevada only has 30 GOP delegates and it allots them proportionally among all candidates who top 3.33 percent of the vote. The effect of that is that rule is that the first place finisher will only end up getting a few more delegates than the second place finisher.

Still, the Nevada outcome preserves Trump's status as the unmistakable GOP frontrunner.
 
We're all been royally fucked for the last 7 years....the White House has been lit up like a rainbow and now every country thinks Americans suck dick ....and now the Dumbass in Chief is closing down Gitmo. I'll take Trump, Cruz or Rubio ANYDAY over Obama, Clinton or Sanders...

Vote Republican in Nov

Guess you weren't in Fallujah kicking doors in during the Bush administration. Guess you didn't watch the the World Trade Center fall, all because the incompetent Bush administration ignored CIA intelligence. Yeah...vote Republican, maybe the neoconservatives will get us all killed this time.

Move to Europe if you love socialism that much... ALL of the CAREER politicians are to blame for our problems. Not just one group.


And you think Hillary's going to keep us safe when she abandoned our people to die in Libya? Gimme a break! She's more incompetent than Obama!

You obviously haven't read my posts if you think I fucking like Hillary. I think she is both incompetent and obviously a corrupt crony. She belongs in hell with the rest of the neocons.

What makes you think I love socialism? Rubio is a crony neocon tool. Ted Cruz is a fucking religious whacko who pretends to be a pro constitutionalist. Trump is an authoritarian with a man crush on Vladimir Putin, maybe you should move to Russia or China, if you love authoritarianism and fascism so much. I must be honest though, I do kind of like the idea of using Trump as a grenade to (possibly) blow up the political establishment.

I'm not sure why you feel unsafe? If you don't feel safe, why don't you just move to New Zealand? Not sure why you are afraid of the boogeyman, but not the common mass shooter in the United States.

Before you go throwing the word socialist around maybe you should look at the GOP.

"From a purely statistical standpoint, the growth of entitlement spending over the past half-century has been distinctly greater under Republican administrations than Democratic ones. Between 1960 and 2010, the growth of entitlement spending was exponential, but in any given year, it was on the whole roughly 8% higher if the president happened to be a Republican rather than a Democrat."

Which party federalized credit? Nationalized banks? Grew government to the largest size ever? Which party always wants to play the world police?

You tell me to move to Europe, assuming I love socialism, but you seem oblivious to the fact that the United State's military is a socialist institution that the candidates (you support), want to continue to expand and misuse, all at the expense of the lives of patriots and American tax dollars. Are you so eager to send our socialist institution into combat but then you think it is okay to cut, or even dismantle, the VA. If the fucking neocons don't want to adequately pay for veteran healthcare, after sending vets to war, they can go fight their own fucking wars on their own. We need to bring back the draft and make these neocons fight, I guarantee they would hastily reconsider their views on war and the VA.
 
America, you’re stupid: Donald Trump’s political triumph makes it official — we’re a nation of idiots

America, you’re stupid: Donald Trump’s political triumph makes it official — we’re a nation of idiots

“I love the poorly educated.” — Donald Trump

Before any votes were cast, when Donald Trump was the theoretical front-runner, the optimists preached patience. Just wait, they said. This will blow over. He’s a clown, a huckster, a TV personality. There’s no way he can win. It’s just not possible.

Well, it’s not only possible – it’s likely.

Trump won again in Nevada on Tuesday night, by a massive margin, and he may well sweep the Super Tuesday states. If that happens, and it’s the most probable outcome at this point, the race is effectively over. Trump will have won the nomination of one our two major parties, and he’ll have done it with extraordinary ease.

I hate to have to say it, but the conclusion stares us in the face: We’re a stupid country, full of loud, illiterate and credulous people. Trump has marched straight to the nomination without offering anything like a platform or a plan. With a vocabulary of roughly a dozen words – wall, Mexicans, low-energy, loser, Muslims, stupid, China, negotiate, deals, America, great, again – he’s bamboozled millions of Americans. And it’s not just splenetic conservatives supporting Trump or your garden-variety bigots (although that’s the center of his coalition), it’s also independents, pro-choice Republicans, and a subset of Reagan Democrats.

How the US went Fascist: Mass media Makes excuses for Trump Voters
How the US went Fascist: Mass media Makes excuses for Trump Voters

The rise of Donald Trump to the presumptive Republican standard bearer for president in 2016 is an indictment of, and a profound danger to the American republic.

The Founding Fathers were afraid of the excitability of the voters and their vulnerability to the appeal of demagogues. That is the reason for a senate (which was originally appointed), intended to check those notorious hotheads in Congress, who are elected from districts every two years.

But it isn’t only the checks and balances in government that are necessary to keep the republic. It is the Fourth Estate, i.e. the press, it is the country’s leaders, and the general public who stand between the republic and the rise of a Mussolini.

The notables have been shown to be useless. …
 
RNC sees leverage over Trump
RNC sees leverage over Trump

Donald Trump has steamrolled toward the Republican nomination by lambasting all things political establishment, and now that establishment thinks it can convince their insult-wielding front-runner he needs them.

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus has begun stating in private meetings that the party has sway over its at times unwelcome front-runner because it has tools Trump will need to use to win a general election — voter data and field, digital and media operations that a nominee typically inherits from the party infrastructure.

Dangling access to these resources, Priebus thinks he can help steer Trump toward partywide policy goals and away from the inflammatory rhetoric that Republican officials see as divisive and dangerous, especially outside of the primary, according to two Republican sources who have spoken with the RNC chairman.

What President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office would look like


Not so very long ago, the job of imagining president Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office was largely the preserve of satirists.

Though much late night comedy was devoted to discussing the gold leaf that might adorn the White House, analysis of what else he might do (as opposed to what he might say) remained as thin as the policy section of the Republican candidate’s website.

But with a series of primary wins behind him and a favorable electoral map ahead, the possibility that this unpredictable populist could beat a Democratic nominee on 4 November and seize power should no longer be taken lightly.

Think the NSA is scary now? Wait till Donald Trump controls it.

Donald Trump is pretty obviously an incipient tinpot dictator. He's got the demagogue's knack for both playing off and encouraging the worst instincts of his supporters, includingviolent reprisals against scapegoats. He's got https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/authoritarians-agree-trump-for-president/2016/01/19/407f58ec-bef0-11e5-bcda-62a36b394160_story.html (wide support among authoritarians). He's even got the taste for garish prestige construction projects.

What makes a Trump presidency genuinely terrifying, however, is the prospect of him at the helm of the American security apparatus. That could turn a merely bad presidency into a huge advance of authoritarianism, and perhaps the beginning of the end of constitutional democracy in the United States.

David Duke Urges His Supporters To Volunteer And Vote For Trump
David Duke Urges His Supporters To Volunteer And Vote For Trump

David Duke, a white nationalist and former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, is urging the listeners of his radio program to volunteer and vote for Donald Trump.

“Voting for these people, voting against Donald Trump at this point is really treason to your heritage,” Duke said on the David Duke Radio Program Wednesday, referring to Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. “I’m not saying I endorse everything about Trump, in fact I haven’t formally endorsed him. But I do support his candidacy, and I support voting for him as a strategic action. I hope he does everything we hope he will do.”

Duke then urged his followers to call Trump’s campaign headquarters to volunteer.

“And I am telling you that it is your job now to get active. Get off your duff. Get off your rear end that’s getting fatter and fatter for many of you everyday on your chairs. When this show’s over, go out, call the Republican Party, but call Donald Trump’s headquarters, volunteer. They’re screaming for volunteers. Go in there, you’re gonna meet people who are going to have the same kind of mindset that you have.”

Earlier in his broadcast, Duke called Trump’s victories in Nevada and South Carolina a “historic day.”

How Trump Invented Trump
How Trump Invented Trump

When Trump is asked to name a leader he looks to for advice on managing his company, his mouth, just as acrobatic as his more famous hair, pulls tight, snaps open, and lets out its most important syllable.

“Me,” Trump says.

“Mirror,” says one of the two deputies in the room. “The mirror.”

“I look at me,” says Trump.

Does he admire any other business leaders?

“I,” Trump says, “don’t like the word admire.”

Trump isn’t exactly self-made—he inherited substantial wealth from his father—but he is definitely self-invented.
