Ted Cruz has officially endorsed Trump....I think the rest follow and its over for Hillary in November

just my 2 cents...don't kill the messenger

I don't like him but I thought he at least had a spine for not endorsing Trump. Now I know he's gutless and I dislike him even more.

Possibly the only positive thing out of this election is that you no longer have to lie about how much you believe in God to be elected President.

yeah im completely shocked he did this...he must have been promised a SCOTUS seat

He's trying to save his political career, now that the election looks like it's going to be close. At the convention he gambled the Trump was gonna lose uuuuuuuuuugggggeeeee!

There's no way this election is going to be close- the media is making it dramatic. Women and minorities are going to make it a landslide for Hillary. Sad that minorities are cool with prolonging the same empty promises and crappy treatment they've had in their democratic cities for a while now, and women will want to vote female- I probably would if I was a woman- but trumps going to get demolished and then talk about how the system is rigged on his talk show on fox for the following 6 months until they cancel his show

I'm totally on board with this...
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-opposes-president-obama-plan-to-surrender-american-internet
I would hope that even the Trump haters on here will recognize the importance of keeping the internet under American control.

do you seriously believe that?

wait....I see it on Breitbart....of course you believe it

http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2016/sep/14/ted-cruz/ted-cruz-incorrect-about-obama-giving-control-inte/

The politifact article actually confirms my suspicions. It will move to a system with the potential for zero US public oversight. The unelected stakeholder committee will be accountable to nobody and could be easily corrupted by repressive regimes looking to stifle speech and/or large corporations looking to stifle upstart competition. With no official US role in governance there is also the possibility of being unable to challenge decisions made by this "world body" on US constitutional grounds. It will become impossible to assert first amendment rights when decisions do not involve the US in any official capacity. You may think this is all a pipe dream but we already see large tech companies bowing to Chinese and Russian demands in exchange for market access.

All of this is outlined in the White Paper linked to in the politifact article: http://docs.techfreedom.org/TF_White_Paper_IANA_Transition.pdf This should be read in it's entirety before passing judgement. Here are the major concerns listed:

1. Whatever happens with the Transition, there’s no reason whatsoever to think authoritarian countries like Russia and China won’t try to exert greater control over the Internet and the long-term impact of the Transition on positions of other governments vis-à-vis U.N. governance of the Internet are unknown.
2. It is unclear at best whether the multi-stakeholder community has the cohesion and resolve necessary to serve as an effective check on the ICANN Board post-Transition.
3. Governments will have more power post-Transition than they do currently, and it is unclear how this will affect ICANN.
4. Recent events revealed that ICANN has serious transparency and governance problems, which could make it vulnerable to corruption and abuse.
5. The U.S. government’s role is a major reason why the ICANN Board has been willing to accept accountability measures, because the Transition is dependent on their adoption. But a number of important additional reforms will not be completed until after the Transition, and. failing to extend the contract may jeopardize their implementation.
6. Substantial questions on ICANN’s jurisdiction, including where ICANN will be headquartered and incorporated and to which laws ICANN will be subject, remain unanswered.
7. The U.S. failed to secure legal ownership and control of the .MIL and .GOV domains, which could create national security concerns in the future.
8. The new ICANN bylaws may not be in line with California law, which could lead to legal and political challenges.
9. If the Transition involves a transfer of property, ending the contract without congressional authorization would violate the Constitution.
10. NTIA may have violated a funding prohibition if it fails to extend the contract.
11. It is unclear that U.S. antitrust law will actually be an effective remedy (or deterrent) against
anti-competitive behavior by ICANN, even the Transition doesn’t change its legal status. Yet foreign antitrust laws could be used strategically to portray ICANN as a cartel, and thus make the case for a shift to U.N. control.
12. NTIA may have violated administrative law by failing to adequately consider public comments on the Transition directly, and instead relying on ICANN to do so on its behalf.

Well obviously you are not an "issues" person. Your two responses to this are a politifact link and a tinfoil hat picture.

I don't discuss issues with breitbart

Shouldn't we be discussing with all positions on the spectrum? What's a debate if all parties are in agreement? The key points that BS posted here seem like fairly reasonable points, and are not in opposition to the transfer to ICANN - just in favour of applying due diligence in creating checks and balances to prevent abuse where possible.

So have at it my friend

This response reveals so much. My guess is you haven't really looked at this issue but are just playing "the my side must win game". Completely your choice but it demonstrates a lack of depth.

I'm just not worried about it. You have breitbart to supply you with all kinds of conspiracy/inaccurate crap. I don't feel like arguing about it...it's pointless.

Yet you keep dragging me back in.

They sure as hell don't have a chance with the GOP. Of course they will vote democrat.

Of course they will, they've been duped into believing the party is for them. It's worked so far, just look at all the dem led cities, should be easy to find, they're the ones all over the news for looting, rioting and unrest. Better keep doing what's been not working!

This is always a bad attempted at trying to make a correlation a causation. There's many dem led cities that are doing very well.

The economic differences between the rural and urban are stark. Check out the graph in this wash pro article. You can find lots of stories and data just like it. Perhaps the smaller towns should start emulating the big cities a bit more.

Are you saying rural areas are having more economic success than urban areas?

Why are you talking about local politics in a federal politics thread? One really has very little to nothing to do with the other in any practical way. But also, is that true?? Where are you getting your statistics on that? Can i see your source for the relation between crime and city or state government parties?

Sorry just saw this. I don't have time to look up stats right now but the article
I posted above http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-urban-unrest-kass-0821-20160819-column.html
gets into it.

Are you saying rural areas are having more economic success than urban areas?

No, not at all. I was saying pretty much what this article was also from a month ago

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-urban-unrest-kass-0821-20160819-column.html

It's an opinion article devoid of any information. The solution is school choice and cutting taxes? Regardless, he is not pointing to a problem overall in our big cities. It's a problem of inequality that affects a small but important segment of society. Conservative solutions aren't the way. Look at Sam Brownbacks failed experiment in Kasnas. He has turned an entire state into an economic train wreck.
