    His gonna be the candidate ...

    I wouldn't go as far as some to say Trump will "kill the Republican Party" but if he does win the nomination, the Republican party will lose more members than will gain. (See how this relates to my last post here: http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/244406/what-if-humans-aren-t-the-most-intelligent-creatures-on-the-planet#latest )

    Can Cruz even be considered a legit candidate?? I can't even imagine that he could win anything. He's a weasel who always looks like he's about to cry; surely no one thinks he could actually win?? I guess every possible vote counts though.... Also, I personally do not acknowledge Cruz as a Canadian, lol. ;)

    Trump made his point well about New York and 9/11 the other day, but I think if he continues to reference 9/11 and post pictures on Twitter like that he will be seen as being opportunistic instead of sincere.

    Maybe, yeah. Although he's probably legitimately pissed about it. I find Cruz's comment irritating just because I love the city as a tourist, so a NY native is probably going to be mad about such a stupid comment coming from a politician. Man, what a dumb thing for Cruz to say. Moron.

    I posted this on Twitter yesterday and I rarely post anything political, but I thought Cruz's remarks about NY were so awful and like PJ Soul, I love NYC as a tourist. I hate how he plays the "I'm a little ole country boy" and he's Harvard/Princeton educated with the Goldman Sachs connection.
    (And apologies to my Canadian friends for this:)

    Rooting for Cruz or Trump is like being asked to root for Yankees or Red Sox. Screw them both.

    Especially since I've been an Angels fan for 27 years.
  • It's nice to hear thoughts on trump from all over the world.

    Other than me being a Giants fan, I totally agree. What kind of choice are those two? Oh well, if the Republican party really wants to annihilate itself, OK by me.

    Who do you suggest they support? Is the party "annihilating itself" a bad thing if your a democrat?

    If the Republican Party wants to remain anything other than a joke, they need to restructure, eliminate the jokers that are leading their pack and find new blood all together. I have no idea how they would achieve that or who those new members would be. And until we start having politicians who recognize the critical and even dire situation the planets ecosystems are in and talk about doing something about it, I personally find it almost pointless to strongly align myself with any party other than maybe Green (and doing that, of course, is merely symbolic).

    I rlove registered green 3 years ago just for their anti Monsanto views. Obama flip flopping on Monsanto wa the final straw for me.

    Would bet on it. Just listening to him talk about god. He will though say as he must.

    I think Trump very much believes in God. This god:
