That's absurd. Trump isn't running to make money. In fact, if you read my post, it doesn't matter at all why Trump himself things he is running.
Fact is, people are going to drop out of the republican race, because they are out of money, not because they are low in the polls. Trump can just continue.
Obviously he is a loose cannon and isn't calling his corporate friends to ask them what to say.
Once the corporate world starts to fight itself/ fight the US president, people will take heed and get pissed and do something. Once their country is really going to shit, maybe they will take action.
The slow pace it has now, people will stay indifferent.

nah it is actually good that he doesn't rely on outside money.
but why go trump when that is a concern, go bloomberg

His tax plan is nothing but a gift for high income earners (taxes down to 25%, eliminate estate taxes etc..), so I don't exactly understand the notion that he is a man of the people

The people that are corporations, duh...

I have yet to see Trump's economical plan of creating more jobs for Americans.
But I have seen enough of Bernie Sanders to know that he will drive out the top corporations into foreign lands and thus will hemorrhage jobs from American with his tax plans.
And Hillary Clinton will not be the dem's nominee due to her incompetence and public's distrust of her.
It is a shame that Rand Paul fell to Trump's abrasiveness and played the aggressive game instead of focusing on his plan because I think Rand Paul is the best candidate out of everyone there.

Don't worry, Trump will force corporations to work in the US. Somehow.

Are you even reading?
When capitalism collapses for sure and money loses all value, like in 2008 when the bankers who caused the crash thought it would to such an extent they called their wives to take the money off the bank and buy food, gasoline and guns, I'd rather not be 75 years old. Trump can save me from that fate.
Right now very excited to see democracy 'live in action' on CNN. lol

He is reading. He is treating your posts with the exact level of discourse they deserve.

I'm voting for O'Malley. From what I've seen and read, he's in the middle of Clinton and Sanders. Just not popular with voters. If he could piggy-back off of Sander's enthusiastic young crowd, and manage to convince the old people they can keep medicare/medicaid and their pensions by cracking down hard on wall st, he could pull it off.
I'll keep an eye out to see if he continues on the path for the nomination.

I like how he is a good looking mainstream Democrat with low baggage weight. He also lifts.

How is it that over 40% of democrat precincts are reporting but less than 1000 votes have been counted?

It's complicated on the Dem side. Those are the numbers for the delegates going on to higher caucuses within the state. No idea why they say "votes" though.
Hillary should be leading in the smaller caucuses that were able to get their counts faster. Probably will lose about 5 points by the end.

Isn't it something like this:
Republicans: names on pieces of paper in a bucket.
Democrats: yelling and shouting at each other until two yelling groups are made in an auditorium and then counted by hand.

For larger caucuses they use paper on the Dem side too but there is still the "yelling" and standing/sitting on different sides.
Marco Rubio will be the establishment candidate.
