administration of the system is going to be easier with electronic record as well. however there is a problem with suvstance abuse and regional economic malaise among other things that do call for more of an intervention. there is also the issue of slow pace of new business formation and lethargic business investment and payroll expansion. something that is not solely supply side driven. not really a situation that a basic income can fix overnight. | ||

No red-meat eating Republican likes Boehner anymore. The media was bored so they picked a story to run 24/7. This 'leak' will not change a single percentage point in any poll. | ||

I don't think it'll happen entirely, but I do think it has happened some. I imagine there are plenty of anti-trump people who respect boehner. Those people may have considered a vote for Cruz to beat Trump. But then Boehner basically says Cruz is the worst human being he's ever met? How do you stay motivated to go vote for someone like that? I think Boehner's words will still be really helpful for Trump. | ||

I don't know to what extent it has been effective, but most people don't want to associate with somebody that no one likes (for good reason). That's about the most explicit anti-Cruz remark someone has managed to just straight-up say, and I don't think that that's going to win Cruz any favors. He can spin this into a "fuck da establishment" vote but I'm not really sure that most Republicans really want to burn everything to the ground to make way for Jesus. That's a key distinction. In one case, he is an unlikable, slimy shit head. I think a lot of people can tell he is at least slimy, so everything else falls into place. In the Donald Trump case, he is conspired against. I think that is key. People try to take down Trump. People just don't like Cruz as a person. People will rally behind someone who is being conspired against. They won't rally behind the shit head. | ||

"I knew this was going to happen," Lujan added. "It was going to be a riot. He deserves what he gets." Video footage showed some anti-Trump demonstrators hurling debris at a passing pickup truck. One group of protesters carried benches and blocked the entrance to the 55 Freeway along Newport Boulevard, with some tossing rocks at motorists near the on-ramp. www.latimes.com I wonder how many rocks Trump has tossed at motorists. What a joke. Types like these are an embarrassment to democrats. Republicans get rural rednecks, but our version of shit is just as bad. I love the irony of these high school kids waving Mexican flags around. Yeah, which country are you in again? Why aren't you living in Mexico? What keeps you here? | ||
