Reports: Ted Cruz quits Republican US presidential race

[Bill the Cat]

I do believe Hillary Clinton has been handed the presidency.

Her email scandal has now been confirmed to be a criminal investigation.

Her email scandal has now been confirmed to be a criminal investigation.

And it appears it has broadened to include the Clinton Foundation's... um... receipts of money from foreign entities.

Let them know I didn't simply forget to vote.

But since voting is anonymous they wouldn't know that you didn't just forget to vote.

I feel like if Trump gets elected, he could say something like, "Haha, this whole thing was a joke! But sure, I'll be the president."

He just wanted to see how many people he could tick off!

What is going on? Simple: The men America has left behind

They don't have college degrees. They have few job prospects. They feel left behind.

Nearly one-quarter of white men with only a high school diploma aren't working. Many of these men, age 25 to 64, aren't just unemployed ... they aren't even looking for a job, according to federal data.

Their college-educated peers, however, have fared much better. Only about one in 10 isn't working.

The plight of these blue collar workers is now in the national spotlight. The 2016 presidential election has awakened their political power and reshaped the course of the campaign.

Their anger -- which has brought millions to the polls, particularly on the Republican side -- has prompted the candidates to focus heavily on manufacturing, trade and other issues of importance to this slice of America. Four
years ago, the GOP nominee Mitt Romney dismissed the 47% of Americans who don't pay taxes. Now, frontrunner Donald Trump proclaims that he loves "the poorly educated."

But other MSM economists tell me the economy has recovered, so there shouldn't be so much anger.

At least Trump isn't a proven liar and criminal like Hillary is.

Where was I when they were handing out the good stuff?

[Juvenal]

When Robert Mugabe shuffles off from this mortal coil.

It's a Boehner thing, you wouldn't understand.

apparently you were swimming in it.

You know, it's just possible Trump actually believes Ted Cruz's dad shot JFK.

who knows? Trump is a loon and Hillary is a crook. I hope someone hides the nuclear football no matter who wins.

[One Bad Pig]

Rock and a hard place indeed. We will have to vote for Hillary or Trump. Kinda like choosing to die from lung cancer or stomach cancer.

I would ultimately have to vote for Trump over Hillary. At least Trump isn't a proven liar and criminal like Hillary is.

Hillary is very much an establishment candidate. Trump is very much an anti-establishment candidate. That may well end up being determinative for me, since I don't like either.

The thing is, bringing manufacturing back (which is happening) doesn't necessarily bring a lot of jobs with it. New factories are predominantly robotic with minimal staff.

Spoiled ballots and protest votes get counted, and can't be dismissed as apathy.

Write in ballots are not allowed in Texas. Our only protest it to vote 3rd party or not vote...
