I now believe that he will go the distance.

Over Trump (or Cruz)? Yes. Totally.

Against a more moderate candidate such as Rubio, maybe not.

People won't get behind looney tunes at a national level IMO.

Trump said last night (paraphrasing) he is playing the game now, but would be totally different once he gets elected.

And like the internet, it must be true, right?

My initial thought was Hilary would win it all, but she has fallen so low that I doubt that's happening now. Bernie is a nobody coming out of nowhere, a recurrence of our current President... if Bernie runs vs Trump, Donald will be the winner... there is no doubt about this.

I'd be very careful in discounting him. He has a core constituency that will run through walls for him and he will continually gather momentum if he dispatches HRC.

He is dangerous.

We shall see. I have a feeling it will be Hillary vs someone other than Trump.

Yes.

People are sick and tired of inside-the-beltway politicians and everything about them. HRC is a beltway insider (And that is her most positive attribute). Bernie is will automatically lose 40-45 percent of the vote due to extreme socialism.

Trump can win.

The problem with immigration is that they make it too hard to do it legally.

Make it too hard to do legally?? Why should it be easy?

Why should it not? We share this planet with everyone else on it.

As long as somebody wants to work/pay their dues, contribute to society and fit into the culture of the place they want to live, why should they not be allowed to?

Too hard? Good! I want the folks that put the effort in for a tough process to enter legally and be productive in my country. We are a debtor nation and illegals drain the system and potentially pose great risk to our safety.

The time for the Kumbaya and socialist mentality has passed my friend. The world is not a nice place right now and we have to look out for our own for a while.

You miss the obvious point. If it was made easier for the people who legitimately want to move here and contribute, we would also have the ability to ensure they are paying their taxes etc, as they would be documented.

I'm not suggesting opening the border to anyone and everyone with no checks, but the process is antiquated, expensive, long and overly arduous for those who have legitimate reason and are willing to become a contributing member of society and would be proud to call the USA their home.

Kumbaya lol.

The opposite of gum drops and ponies is a sledge hammer.
We need the latter.
