    After watching that news conference I'm reminded of this.

    Donald Trump answers the question: What is 2+2? (Credit: Steven Edwards)
    "I have to say a lot of people have been asking this question. No, really. A lot of people come up to me and they ask me. They say, 'What's 2+2'? And I tell them look, we know what 2+2 is. We've had almost eight years of the worst kind of math you can imagine. Oh my God, I can't believe it. Addition and subtraction of the 1s the 2s and the 3s. It's terrible. It's just terrible. Look, if you want to know what 2+2 is, do you want to know what 2+2 is? I'll tell you. First of all the number 2, by the way, I love the number 2. It's probably my favorite number, no it is my favorite number. You know what, it's probably more like the number two but with a lot of zeros behind it. A lot. If I'm being honest, I mean, if I'm being honest. I like a lot of zeros. Except for Marco Rubio, now he's a zero that I don't like. Though, I probably shouldn't say that. He's a nice guy but he's like, '10101000101,' on and on, like that. He's like a computer! You know what I mean? He's like a computer. I don't know. I mean, you know. So, we have all these numbers, and we can add them and subtract them and add them. TIMES them even. Did you know that? We can times them OR divide them, they don't tell you that, and I'll tell you, no one is better at the order of operations than me. You wouldn't believe it. So, we're gonna be the best on 2+2, believe me."

    Aren't there thresholds that Rubio isn't meeting to remain viable.
    If he stays in after tonight hes just wasting time and money. I don't think he would agree to be GOP attack dog.

    Hoping all stay in race so Cruz doesn't win. Okay with Trump getting most delegates. Then dem wins presidency.

    These election night Trump press conferences are surreal. So, you know, par for the 2016 Republican course.

    He repeats the same bs over and over again. No substance, he just rambles on. It is batshit crazy.
    I don't know about you guys, but I ordered a couple dozen Trump strip steaks last night.

    It's so sad that I have absolutely no idea if this is a real Trump quote or not, but it wouldn't at all surprise me if it is. :lol:

    Kasich and libertarian Johnson are the only ones who, if elected, I don't threaten to leave for Canada. I wouldn't even threaten to leave because of McCain or Romney but this is a new low.

    Don't count out a reality TV host. The dems don't appear to be very united based on last night. A Bernie loss is going to lose some millennial interest in the election.

    Once he wins the nomination, he could very well change character and you know how long people's attentions spans are. November is a long ways away.

    The only way, God help us, I can see Trump winning is if there is some kind of terrorist attack over the summer. His idiot followers will band together and vote for him in waves over Hillary (who I also can't stand--but not on the same level as Trump, obviously) because he's a stronger leader.

    Trump has to be one of the bigger hypocrites that ever ran for office (this is just one of many examples). Breaking immigration laws now.
    http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/10/news/trump-model-visas/index.html

    BTW, Trump LOVES beauty pageants and profits from them (or did, until he made all those racists remarks, lol). To me, that alone makes him completely unqualified to be President. It is a slap in the face to women.

    Does anyone really believe that soc security will cause a debt crisis? I thought the us taps into soc sec for wars and etc.

    Soc sec payments come from workers wages capped at 6 figures for the wealthy. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that when the jobs leave so do the payments into soc sec. Why don't I hear any of these genius lift the soc sec cap?

    Sorry. I was just reminded that I shouldn't watch gop debates until I finish a bottle of wine. I already drank all the good stuff so I'm watching jets wings.
