    Fox News interviewed Steve Wynn last night after the Nevada "Crockus" closed here last night. He expressed the exact hope of many of us that Nevada could replace this scam caucus procedure with a real primary. I was impressed, I hadn't heard that from anyone since they started this back in '08. I participated in the Nevada caucus process in 2012, almost becoming a delegate to the State convention. But, I was dismayed at how a few politicians were railroading the process and the "chosen" delegates were not bound by any level of voter tally from their region.

    You got that right.
    No underlying principles other than do what ever it takes to succeed, no matter the consequence, no matter what or whom it harms.

    That is the exact opposite of a creator of Value.

    Trump is not my first choice, but what proof do you have that he is remotely like the Clinton's in the way you allude ? The Clintons are underhanded and scofflaws however and wherever they are able to be, but I've not seen/ heard of Trump breaking any laws. To my knowledge he uses laws to work for him to the fullest extent he is able, but not to break them, especially to the point of taking people out or ruining their lives like the Clintons have repeatedly been accused of. What news about Trump have I overlooked ?

    I hope you are right......Perot also wanted to lay the Shiv to the Bushes, whom he didn't like. That little POS Perot is why we ended up with Bill Clinton.

    Uhh, Patton took a lot of territory from the "enemy"; but he didn't rely on "eminent domain". He did shoot his mouth off a lot tho.

    I'm not a Trump supporter, but I've got to admit that he can take a punch and come back swinging. I often find his stream-of-consciousness speeches to be downright silly to the point of embarrassing. However, he has touched a soreness felt by many about the lack of attention paid to the very claims politicians have made in order to get elected. You can boil his popularity down to one sentence, "Screw those dweebs, I'm gonna make things right."

    Thanks jb. Been lurking a while but feel safe here. Classical liberal, (libertarian). Too many paid trolls on the main roads. :)

    Perot? Nay...Trump reminds me of Patton. Patton was regarded as a lose cannon and the American people were always afraid of what Patton might say next, but we might have lost WW1 and definitely WW2 without him. He was completely dedicated to the fight.
    Ross Perot quit his presidential-run because a tabloid paper was going to run an article suggesting his daughter was a lover of Madonna's. Mr. Perot didn't want his family smeared.
    It's hard to believe such nonsense once matter.
    That sort of thing wouldn't phase Trump in the least. He has no shame.
    When Trump mentioned Steve Wyn was at his rally last night, that sealed the deal for me. When Steve Wynn appeared on FOX a couple years ago, Mr. Wynn made quite an impression on me. I fell in love with the guy on the spot for voicing all my complaints with the current administration so perfectly.
    I'm absolutely loving Trump. Let's kill the PC narrative before it kills capitalism. We can fight over policy later.

    First-time poster. Hello all. Think Trump and Rubio's position will be virtually indistinguishable before this is done. If a brokered convention yields the Rub as a running mate, we will know this was the establishment set up from the jump. Good luck all. :)

    Trump says what many want to hear but be careful that you don't wind up on his enemies list. It can be hazardous to your health. In that sense he is disturbingly like the Clinton's.

    I just hope you vote for him if he is the nominee. I am not thrilled about him myself, he reminds me too much of Ross Perot....but he is sure as hell better than the Democrat alternative!
