Probably a good thing you didn't waster your time. They want your credit card info, not your correspondence.

This post likening Ted Cruz, a legitimate conservative candidate, to a whore, just further proves what this never ending GPIA diatribe is really about: it isn't about minting a real conservative candidate. Because Cruz is conservative.
It's just about getting a Republican who is sufficiently liberal on the right kinds of things to suit GPIA'S tastes.

He did disavow Duke the day before the CNN interview. He says he didn't understand what was being asked due to a bad ear piece during the CNN interview. Then they apparently disavowed again on their FB and twitter accounts. He disavowed again this morning. Exactly what is it you need? As you know I am no Trump fan but sometimes this stuff gets so tedious.
I expect the top Libertarian Party candidate to hit double digits this year.
...The whores and politicians will cry out, 'save us!' And I'll look down and whisper... 'No.'
By double digits, I assume you mean, double their percentage from last election to 2%?
If given the choice between Clinton and Trump... I can see the Libertarian candidate picking up a lot of pissed-off votes.
Should a govt be run like a business? Serious question.

Well, first, business experience does not mean effective governing.
Second, effective business skills does not equate to "bringing jobs" to America.
Third, you do realize that several Trump brands use non-American labor, right? So, his actions reveal that he cares about the bottom line - as business people should. But, if he cared more about "bringing jobs" to America, do you think he could just make "millions" instead of "billions" and use US labor?
They all talk about jobs.
Here's the thing: the US president has VERY little control over employment. In fact, there's no control - only influence. He can't "bring jobs" to the US.

Edit: CNN poll - Nearly half of voters won't support Trump if he's the nominee.
Yeah, they might even get .000002% of the vote this time!
Not completely, of course, but business standards like trimming excess expenditures, looking for efficient operating methods, and working within a budget certainly would help.
BTDT. They do not really transfer. At least not in my experience.I think business and managerial skills definitely transfer from business to government. But government isn't a for profit business (at least it shouldn't be) and a government's priorities must often be quite different from a business's.
Your vote doesn't matter anyway, why not make it .0000003%?
At least you'll sleep with the satisfaction you did something principled.
Christie announced a nomination to the New Jersey Supreme Court, and only took questions about that subject. Anything about his support for Trump — who spent Sunday dealing with the fallout from his refusal to condemn the KKK — was ruled out.
“No, I won’t permit you to. I told you that there’s going to be only on-topic questions today. So, permission denied,” Christie said.
He silenced another reporter immediately afterward: “That’s an off-topic question. I think you understand that I’m answering on-topic questions today." Asked why he wouldn't take questions on anything else, Christie replied, "Because I don’t want to.”
In an awkward interview Sunday with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Christie was presented repeatedly with his own critical statements about Trump and asked to explain some of his policies — such as how Trump would get Mexico to pay for the wall — and couldn’t.
“The answer is, he will do it,” Christie said.
“How?” Stephanopoulos pressed, using a device from Christie's previous critiques of Trump.
“The fact — the fact is that he's going to have to answer that question. And he will,” Christie responded.
