I can't wait for the next Trumpism. I can't help checking various news outlets every couple of hours to see what The Donald has done lately. I scour the internet for all things Trump. It's an unending stream of something dangerous that I can't avoid.

I hope that when he's defeated, the media will let me down gently by slowly diminishing their coverage of him, weaning me of my latest addiction. Otherwise I may need professional help!

All in all, though, I LOVE IT!!!

I've been waiting for this all my life. It's too good to be true, but it appears to finally be happening right her, right now, right in front of my very eyes.

I think Trump industries had a good year too, all that donation money pouring into Trump 'businesses'.

80 million a month buys tons of trump water and fills every trump hotel/real estate venue "rented" to the Republican campaign.

Each election cycle seems to get worse or is that the consequence of unrestricted money poured into campaigns for people with unrestricted ambitions? Trump is the result of unfettered ambition with the sole value of personal profit. He is a living Civilization extinction event. People willing to support such cause will walk among us even when this nightmare ends. You cannot live off the wealth of those at the top of the pyramid a point that crashes Civilizations through out human history. I plan to celebrate a Trump loss if it happens but realize another one is waiting in the wings and could be worse.

What the 1%ers fail to understand is that we all succeed and do better, when we ALL succeed and do better. I attribute the phenomena of unfettered wealth acquisition to the human capacity for greed. Combine that with the lies and hate and fear-mongering of the strongman argument, and eventually the pyramid of power loses its support from below.

Remember many months ago how we were saying how fun it would be if Trump won the nomination and destroyed himself and the GOP?

Wishes really do come true!

This disdain has gone on for too long and the RNC needs a reboot and go back to their original values.

I would much rather debate valid working policies then the nonsense Trump is spewing.

a highly rated reality tv show. What will happen on today's episode? How can it be more scandalous than yesterday's episode? Let's watch together.

Had less to do with this contest and more to do with what it is doing to the Republican party. They will never be the same again... Thanks Donald.

Because there is a very good chance that Trump will quit the race in time for a serious candidate to replace him. That would shift the attention to Camp Hillary, although they have done OK so far.

Be careful what you wish for. We already live in exciting times.

For all practical purposes, the last feasible time to get a replacement in is mid-August (True drop dead is September 1st, but after mud-August that candidate is severely crippled.) And it is the fifteenth today.

They're stuck.
