This is shaping 2 b a very confusing election. Clinton Trumps the popular vote for the democrats, but it is the Republican race that is Hilary-us.

Latest: Loser Romney plans to become The Boss by the standard technique of The Oiseule:

"If the other candidates can find common ground, I believe we can nominate a person who can win the general election and who will represent the values and policies of conservatism," Romney said.

Ahem! Can u guess hu that Person With Values and Policies of Conservatism - but who can't win any votes - might be?

"His bankruptcies have crushed small businesses and the men and women who worked for them," Romney said of Trump during his speech Thursday. "He inherited his business, he didn't create it. And whatever happened to Trump Airlines? How about Trump University? And then there's Trump Magazine and Trump Vodka and Trump Steaks, and Trump mortgage? A business genius he is not."

UBC News points out the common thread in Trump bijnej:
1. Trump Airlines == air hostesses aka Havai Houris.
2. Trump University == co-eds/ in-turn houris.
3. Trump Magazine == centerspreads aka nekkid houris
4. Trump Vodka == 2 go with Magazine and university and airline. and be served by BarMaids. (Sharaab-Houris)
5. Trump Steaks == waitresses a la Hooters.
6. Trump Mortgage == real estate houris.

Here's What Happened In The World While Donald Trump Was Talking About His Penis

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/don ... 4056784781?

While business mogul and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump stood on a debate stage Thursday night talking about his penis, a number of significant things were happening around the world that will eventually demand the attention of whoever is elected to the White House. As Trump, the likely Republican nominee, assured the American people that there was, in fact, "no problem" with the size of his package, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un made a nuclear bomb threat against the U.S. and South Korea. Kim said the country's "nuclear warheads need to be ready for use at any time," responding angrily to recent United Nations sanctions intended to cripple North Korea's nuclear program.Meanwhile, the most significant refugee crisis in Europe since World War II approached its boiling point. "Trump is not likely to help these refugees, as he suggested banning all Muslims entering the U.S. He did not waver on this position during the GOP debate Thursday night, but he did assure American voters of penis size -- and not for the first time.
In other news, a new video from the self-described Islamic State surfaced on Thursday showing an orphanage where the group claims to be training children as the next generation of jihadi fighters. Iran invited the American company Boeing to discuss modernizing its fleet of aircrafts -- a move that the New York Times called "the first tangible results of a less-hostile climate between the United States and Iran since a landmark international agreement on Iran’s disputed nuclear activities took effect in January." And a new study published in British medical journal The Lancet on Thursday found that the effects of climate change on India's food supply are projected to starve 135,000 people to death by the year 2050 if something isn't done about the crisis. To be fair, Trump did not entirely ignore the rest of the world on the debate stage. He said he would coerce American soldiers to break domestic and international law by waterboarding and torturing suspected terrorists. But in the green room after the debate, he returned to the more important issue of the evening: whether the size of his "hands" were smaller than those of a reporter standing by.
"Lemme see your hands -- see?" Trump said. "I have good-sized hands, and, they say, very beautiful."

>> the effects of climate change on India's food supply are projected to starve 135,000 people to death by the year 2050

this is a self-sustaining circular ecosystem
- first create/define a problem - poverty, climate change, WMD, chemicals whatever
- seek govt funding for univs and NGOs to deeply study such problems, conferences, field trips, advisories, hearings ... use the media to good effect
- feed on that in money and career terms as long as possible
- lot of NGOs startup to debate , educate, mitigate and mediate this problem...like say "child protection" - they will come up with courses and checklists and paid AUDITs conducted by them to certify the issue as solved - until the next audit.
- if the problem shows signs of fading out, goto step1 and create a new feeding trough.

recently there were howls of protest when the Aus govt cut funding for 100s of climate scientists who were maintaining a lot of stations both in australasia and antarctica.

apart from micromanaging their own societies, roving around all over the world under govt backing like the religious freedom commisars is also another tack.

US issues formal notification for sale of F 16 jets to Pakistan

WASHINGTON: The US government has issued a formal notification for the sale of eight amidst stiff opposition from India and top American lawmakers, the US government has formally published federal notification for the sale of eight F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan."This proposed sale contributes to US foreign policy objectives and national security goals by helping to improve the security of a strategic partner in South Asia," said the notification which was published by the federal register yesterday, along with a copy of the February 11 letter, which the Defense Security Cooperation Agency wrote to the House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan.The total cost of these F-16 is estimated to be nearly USD 700 million, said the federal notification. It added that the Government of Pakistan had requested for this sale.India has opposed the sale of F-16 to Pakistan, saying it disagree with Washington's rationale that such arms transfers help to combat terrorism.Republican Senator Rand Paul has asked colleagues in the Senate to join him in opposing the sale of F-16s to Pakistan.Pakistan Prime Minister's Adviser on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz told Defence Writers Group this week that Pakistan had initially requested for 18 F-16s, but because of "financing problem" it is purchasing just eight."Right now the specialized need is the counter-terrorism operation, for which we are heavily dependent of F-16."According to notification published in the federal register, the proposed sale improves Pakistan's capability to meet current and future security threats."This sale will increase the number of aircraft available to the Pakistan Air Force to sustain operations, meet monthly training requirements, and support transition training for pilots new to the Block-52. Pakistan will have no difficulty absorbing these additional aircraft

into its air force," the federal register said.

According to recent poll surveys, 72 per cent of Indian-American voters are with the Democrats. And if Trump becomes the face of the Republicans, the number will go up.

This article seems to be a hit job on Trump, but any idea what the real support for Trump is among Indian Americans? The recent violence in his rallies and stand on H1-B are two obvious negatives...but if he is able to repudiate / address these concerns substantially over next few months, my own sense is that Indian American support could reach 40% or higher.

Soros Funds Hispanic Move against Trump
March 10, 2016 by TNO Staff

http://newobserveronline.com/soros-fund ... ove-trump/
Hungarian Jew billionaire George Soros has announced that he is putting $5 million into a new political action committee designed solely to mobilize Hispanics into a nonwhite anti-Trump voting bloc.

The blatant racially-based political mobilization—which Soros would be among the first to call “racist” if it were done by whites—will take the form of the “Immigrant Voters Win PAC,” and will help to coordinate the effects of a number of nonwhite political groups.

According to an article in the New York Times, Soros’s $5 million “campaign to mobilize Latinos and other immigrants” hopes to “channel outrage at the political rhetoric of Donald J. Trump and other Republicans into a surge of votes for Democratic candidates in November...........

The current theory is that Ohio Gov. Kuch-jhootinich is going to win (duh!) Ohio and then join forces with Rubio who (he hopes) will win Florida, and then use that momentum to propel aerodynamic pigs down the Cincinnati runway for takeoff so that they have a hope of winning the rest of the winner-take-all states and thus beat Trump.

I think Trump is going to win both Ohio and Florida, jhootinich looks so oily and the moment he opens his mouth he confirms that impression.

I found this RT article a decent read on Clinton campaign.

https://www.rt.com/op-edge/335548-us-cl ... president/

It is a longish piece, so just quoting the last few paras.

...

So, maybe the drivers of the Clinton campaign car might have noticed a problem with one of the wheels, but could keep moving full steam ahead and limp into the winner’s circle by July, the time of the Democratic Party convention being held in Philadelphia. However, I know that, by this time, Clinton’s team is just hoping that the lugs that hold the wheels in place don’t come off the campaign car. And they are probably too afraid to look. Here’s why.

There are currently three investigations swirling around Secretary Clinton: one, around the dual roles of Huma Abedin at the Clinton Foundation while she was also employed by the Office of the Secretary of State; two, the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation’s projects that might have proceeded without securing the required US government approval; and three, the Secretary’s handling of top secret and above top secret information on a private e-mail server rather than a secured government server. The Clinton Foundation has already had to amend its tax returns several times as a result of these investigations. Concurrently, Guccifer, an internationally renowned hacker, recently exposed that he would read Secretary Clinton’s e-mails and then go out and do his gardening. Indicted for his hacking role, he is now on his way to the US. And most recently, immunity was given to the information technology (IT) specialist who set up the Clinton server in a closet in her home bathroom. While CNN downplays the importance of the immunity grant, the UK’s Daily Mail claims a source close to the investigation says that the IT specialist is a “devastating” witness.

And on the policy questions, Secretary Clinton is still vulnerable on the Benghazi issue and has yet to be asked about her several Haiti scandals. Most recently, the murder of Honduran activist Berta Caceres highlights Clinton’s role in the overthrow of a democratically elected government in Honduras.

Most cars are equipped with five lugs on their wheels to keep them affixed to the axle. Some luxury models have six lugs. The only question for us is how many lugs are on the Clinton campaign car’s wheels. With five lugs/scandals/investigations already loose, it will only take one more loose lug—that is, scandal/investigation/indictment to send the Clinton campaign car reeling off the road.

I don't like Hillary and Trump says some things I agree with but he seems like a loose cannon who shoots his mouth off too often.

I don't believe Trump is a racist over and beyond what the average Amreeki is, but he is attracting a lot of racists who want to make Amreeka white again.

The Trump rally disrupters were a Democrat move to consolidate their base towards Clinton.
Sanders was too naïve to see that and backed the disrupters by lending tacit support.

ramana: Do u think BO (Rohm E.) is that keen to support Hillary-bibi? I think giving the SOS was a sop. I think rabble-rousers were paid by H.bibi & Co and Sanders was just framed for that. This is only Primary - they wanted to help Trump win the elephant nomination and see that Rubio etc were properly trashed.

This generally puts the elephants into a deeper mess. Their one hope was "Governor" Kasich riding out to save the Party, with Rubio the Latino in tow. Now all gone.

Trump is the only candidate that a Dem ticket can beat, citing fear. OTOH, I think lots of Dems incl. union vote will go to Trump because he claims to be anti-immigration and anti-outsourcing, as completely bogus both of those are. How can you make money in Real Estate w/o cheap illegal immigrant labor? If it weren't for Mexicans w/o papers, all lawns in Ulan Bator would look like mine.
