Huerta was involved in a big fracas in the Nevada caucuses.

^Yup, I read about the whole thing when it first occurred.  The only thing I didn't know about were the divisions between Dawson and Ferrera.  Makes me wonder whether this is emblematic of a growing schism within the Latino community or is it just relegated to certain highly politically active individuals?

 

I have know of two people both Puerto Rican who support different candidates- one HRC, the other Bernie Sanders.  The one who supports HRC only yesterday mentioned someone unfriending him on Social Media and I'm pretty sure it is due to his oblique criticisms of Sanders' policies.  I haven't asked who it is but it makes me wonder whether it is the friend who is a Sanders supporter (lol).

Every source above is right-wing or conservative and/or fringe, and Trump does have long-standing ties to the Enquirer. That being said I suspect they would not print unless it had at least a grain of truth. Nothing about Cruz would surprise me. Here is his unique and unfortunate response, which clumsily invokes the old GOP strategy of 'ratfucking' from the '70s while leaving voters with the impression that Ted Cruz could, in some universe, !@#$%^&*] rats:

 

 

Cruz blamed the story on Roger Stone, a longtime political adviser to Trump.“It is a story that quoted one source on the record: Roger Stone, Donald Trump’s chief political adviser,” said Cruz. “It is attacking my family. And what is striking is Donald’s henchman, Roger Stone, had for months been foreshadowing that this attack was coming. It’s not surprising that Donald’s tweet occurs the day before the attack comes out. And I would note that Mr. Stone is a man who has 50 years of dirty tricks behind him. He’s a man for whom a term was coined for copulating with a rodent. Well, let me be clear: Donald Trump may be a rat, but I have no desire to copulate with him.”

Just when I think this election can't get any stranger.  Somehow it's even more amusing to me that it might have been Rubio reaching out from beyond the grave.

Susan Sarandon should be ashamed for this Naderspeak.

I hate that "bring about the revolution" type of talk. You won't be affected when "the revolution" happens. Many, many people will be. Badly. Disastrously. Fatally.

Trump's crazy campaign manager is finally charged with assault.

Charles Blow just tore her a new one on his Facebook page. (For those who don't know, he uses that as a sort of vlog.) 

Good for him.

 

I read that she was a Nader supporter in 2000. People love to talk about how his supporters did nothing to cost Gore the election, yet we are back here with this garbage 16 years later. 

Incredible:

I usually don't get to political but this bird gif is funny.

Good for him.

I voted for Nader. It is the biggest regret of my political life and has affected every vote I've made since then.

 

 

It's still amazing to me how Trump is the GOP front-runner.  The media's take on his "being an outsider" is not the only driving factor here, as he is getting the majority of votes in the primaries.  

 

Have evangelicals embraced him?  Why?  How?  I just can't get my head around it to save my life.

 

I can say, if Trump was running on the Democratic ticket, I would be voting "R"s down the ballot.

 

 

 

Oh that liberal media:

I can't either. This whole thing becomes more insane by the day. Now he's saying he wants to ban abortion and punish women who seek out illegal treatment. I'm sure that does appeal to Christian extremists.  I've seen some people saying that Trump doesn't really want the nomination, which is why he keeps saying more outrageous things every day. I don't buy that at all. I think he does want the power and isn't in it just to build is brand or whatever.

 

What really annoys me is that even though he's not likely to win, he's damaged our country while lining his own pockets.

 

 

I am inclined to agree with one of his former staffers who wrote something for xojane - he never intended this to go this far but his ego and pride won't let him stop. He's loving it too much. He has no real interest in the responsibility, he just loves the attention and prestige.

 

And now, he's babbling about an abortion ban and "punishment" for women.

I also thought this in the very beginning of his campaign but now I'm not sure whether he actually believes he can pull this off, the nomination at least.

 

Trump's success on the campaign trail is an indictment of America's political system, its media and yes, the populace that insists on scapegoating immigrants and people who are perceived as being 'different' for the society's (i.e. their own) ills.
