If solicited, I wonder if I should sign a Romney petition. Maybe it would be a good thing.

For once you would have 4 high-profile candidates and give the country actual legitimate choices.

This brilliance from the person who literally has been wrong about everything in the past (at least) 2 months. And yes, once Trump get the nomination, the top 50 or so list of your idiocy will be re-posted for everyone to behold.

I mean it is stunning to me that someone can get everything he/she says completely wrong and still come on here and pretend to know something.

You're terrible. Go home.

And I'm very, very concerned that the general election will be much closer than most people are thinking. As I've said before, between now and the general election there's not going to be much mind-changing among the electorate between Hillary and The Donald. It's going to be about getting out the vote. Trump is compiling an impressive track record of doing that. Hillary, not so much. Plus, I think Trump may have a secret weapon: The Closet Trumpsters: People (including Dems) who secretly admire him and are sick of establishment candidates (read: Hillary), but are too embarrassed to admit publicly they'll support Trump.

This is practically word for word what I said to my wife tonight. In the secrecy of the voting booth, people are free to let their fears have a voice without anyone ever knowing.

I do think Dems will get out the vote when Trump is sitting there as the possible president. Maybe I'm wrong, but I hope not.

trump needs to win Florida, Virginia, Ohio and Colorado without losing any states Romney won. If he loses any of those then PA is next. He has a very hard path to 270.

Yawn. Literally is an actual word with a definition and everything. You use it incorrectly. no one is surprised. There's evidence for your utterance, or there's not. You haven't brought it. You probably forgot.

So if Romney trashes Trump tomorrow without outright endorsing anyone, isn't it possible that he's muddying the waters for the rest of the primaries so that nobody gets enough delegates to win and he can take a shot at the nomination at the convention?

Any predictions for the weekend and its 4 Republican caucuses/primaries on Saturday? First blush I would guess Kentucky and Maine are solid states for Trump, Louisiana is a toss-up between Trump and Cruz, and Kansas goes for Cruz.

In Clinton email investigation, Justice Department grants immunity to former State Department staffer

The Justice Department has granted immunity to the former State Department staffer who worked on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email server, a sign the FBI investigation into possible criminal wrongdoing is progressing.

A senior U.S. law enforcement official said the FBI had secured the cooperation of Bryan Pagliano who worked on Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign before setting up the server in her New York home in 2009.

As the FBI looks to wrap up its investigation in the coming months, agents will likely want to interview Clinton and her senior aides about the decision to use a private server, how it was set up, and whether any of the participants knew they were sending classified information in emails, current and former officials said.

Cannot wait for President Trump to build the Trump White House in Lafayette Square and knock down the White House to put up the most luxurious condos you've ever seen.

Wilson, with 43 percent of the vote, romped to victory with 435 Electoral votes. TR, got 88 as a Progressive candidate. Incumbent Taft only picked up 12 and Socialist Debs got more than 900,000 votes but nothing in the College.

Good times.
