The Republican Primary Race Is Filling Up

[jamil]

Some interesting polling from the March 15 states. Kasich is tied with Trump in Ohio, which suggest to me he'll win the state. Florida is running pro-Trump by more than 3x the MOE. So, I think he'll win that.

But in Illinois, Cruz is within the MOE. Barely, but inside. And Kasich is running second. A Cruz/Kasich pairing might make some sense.

If Cruz can take Illinois, it supports a Midwest firewall to deny Trump the outright win. If Kasich can take Ohio, that'll help, too.

I think Florida will easily go to Trump. Not that I trust the polls. Their models are obviously outdated. But the factors that seem to give Trump wins in states so far seem to be there in FLA. Lots of early voting. Lots of Trumpers.

They should either increase the pay of H1B visas up to comparable levels of domestic pay or get rid of them entirely. You abuse it you lose it. Jobs should pay the same amount regardless of who's working it.

This is pretty much Trump's position on H-1B visas as stated on the website. As I've said, he's not been consistent on that. Nevertheless, I'm not that fond of the government setting an effective minimum wage for special groups of people. I'd like companies to maintain the ability to pay according to value and skill. That said, whether it's an H-1B or an American citizen, the going market value for the qualifications should pretty much determine the pay. But I'd rather not regulate the use of H-1B visas through pay regulations. Maybe it could be a system where people could sue if an H1-B has been hired when qualified citizens have applied.

Poor Marco...If this poll is correct, at best, he'll show in his home state.

They'd rather dissolve and abolish the party than ever accept that their base has already decided on their candidate.

Well, their base or somebody else's...

 

[jamil]

Well, their base or somebody else's...

Well, in all fairness both. A pretty large share of the Republican base support Trump. But you're right, a pretty good chunk of Democrats are supporting for Trump. Some to help Hillary. But it looks like there are a lot of blue collar/union types that are supporting Trump. It reminds me a of those who supported Ross Perot. In those days I worked with a lot of Union workers who usually supported whoever the democrats put up. No way would they have voted for GHW Bush, but a lot of them supported Perot over Bill Clinton.

Just In - Jordan Schachtel and Jarrett Stepman have also resigned from Breitbart

Rats, sinking ship.

Trump just called the 1934 NFA "suppression" of rights.

How does that correspond to this:

Ms Fields has now filed a police report and criminal assault complaint.

Michelle Fields files assault complaint against Corey Lewandowski.

I am confused.

I wonder who the minister of base buzzwords will be when he's elected supreme leader?



Seriously, if he is elected I hope he'll act as pro 2A as he talks.

He probably didn't even know what it was until some pointed it out it might be a good talking point for his supporters.

Executive Summary:

Breitbart has become the propaganda wing of Trump. When Corey Lewandowski assaulted Michelle Fields, not only did Breitbart not back her up, they kinda kinda got pissy. Ben Shapiro resigned in protest. It was more of a last straw for Jordan Schachtel and Jarret Stepman.

Has any candidate still in the running even mentioned the NFA before?

He's been hanging around with [STRIKE]the Vice President[/STRIKE] Sarah Palin for a while now. I'm sure she's been informing him.

Geesh.... That's not at all relevant to the haters...

 

[danimal]

Has any candidate still in the running supported AWBs in the past?

 

[Tombs]

Has any candidate still in the running supported AWBs in the past?

Considering his AWB support was pre-9/11 and he's constantly preaching about the second amendment in relation to fighting terrorism, I think he's figured out why it matters.

Kasich voted for the Clinton AWB:

Bill Clinton Thanked John Kasich for His Vote for the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban - The Truth About Guns

Of course, Kasich isn't a real candidate. He's merely a splitter.
