Well watching question time last night was quite fun to listen to some elected MP's mutter around the subject of trump, none of them really having a clue.

Some refered to him as a non violent extremism and on them grounds he should be banned from the UK. He will cause hate crimes they say.

On our local radio they spat out more dripple on how deranged Trump is, and how (I hope i do not upset many here), that only the "Stupid and Redneck" Americans follow him, due to being ignorant to the world and that Trump is a clown, and that. Oh wait, they then went onto say that how the Stupid americans managed to get Bush in power, so do not be shocked if Trump gets into the white house as well.

Well Trump has clearly set out on his goal, of making frontline news of his campaign around the whole world.

I guess most of the people would, actually, if they came to realize that the alternative is a muslim ***** in the mouth.


The alternatives will be Clinton or Bush, two names we've seen way too much of in the last 20 years. If Sanders had a chance, we'd probably start looking like France or Sweden (politically and in government spending). Rubio doesn't really stand a chance--great poster boy for the GOP in accepting all walks of life, but they're all still too racist to actually elect a son of a Cuban immigrant. (overall. there are forward thinkers in the party, but they pander to the lowest common denominator so they can keep the power they have. Someone prove me wrong, please!)

Other than that, Trump will be the first president of the Idiocracy. Then again, some people were wailing about Reagan in the 70s and 80s, but at least he had experience in political office already (California governor) and was a CA Republican, who looked more like the present day Democrats, not a teabagger loudmouth who makes for great reality TV, but for ****** policy making. Bling bling *****. Rich get richer and all you working stiffs get poorer.

What race is "Cuban" again? According to the betting markets, Rubio is the favorite, selling at .36. Cruz, who is also "a son of a Cuban immigrant," is in second at .35. Trump is third at .28. Since you seem to know better, you can make a lot of money here:

Race, as a social construct, can be basically whatever people want it be.

Leftist sophistry is inane. Cuba is a multiracial society. Republicans are not refraining from voting for Rubio because he might have slightly more American Indian ancestry than Elizabeth Warren, if anything quite the opposite.

Its almost certain that there is a significant portion of the Republican party that is practically tripping over themselves to show that they will support a minority, which is why these candidates like to talk about their ancestry.
The point was just that since biologically there is no such thing as race, at least not in the way most people think of it, its a term that can be used to mean practically anything, so there is no point in complaining about the misuse of a meaningless word.

Race, as defined, is "walk of life"--your culture, background, heritage. Why is it nobody really understands words today? "Black", "white", "Mexican", and "Asian" are merely what it has devolved into in America. :roll:
