seriously,
why do people theorize that Donald will not win the Republican nomination?
think for a minute: the Republican primary voter, whom the convention nominees come
from, has proven over and over that they really do want a pure and extreme candidate
it is not about winning the Presidency to them, it is about being true to the white male
who best verbalizes what they are thinking
The Donald CAN go all the way to the nomination, and then Hillary will beat him in a popular and electoral vote landslide

Norton, trump has a big fat mouth.
He has said many things that have obliterated lesser candidates' campaigns (Mexican undocumented workers are rapists; Megyn Kelly was on her period when she grilled him; Crapping on McCain's military service). "Surely, he will say something that will sink him," they think. But for whatever reason he is still at the top of the pile.
I think we will see a serious run at Trump once the field narrows and voters can focus on an alternative.

Why does Reagan still earn such respect?
Because they spend millions on the Reagan legacy Project.
The Project gives money and talking points to Fox News and Rush, and they prop him up like the Christ savior.
Right Wingers can't remember the facts, they react to emotions and talking points.
They are always advertising for it, "Give us money"
And the opposite effect is happening with the Clintons, millions spent to crush them,
They use the million cuts plan, just make up lies and misinformation or out of context quotes, spew it every where in the News, and then the idiots respond to it like it's a fact (e-mails, Benghazi).
IF anyone of these Republicans were investigated like the Democrats are, they would come out 1000 times worse, yet no one talks about that, they are in bed with every right wing big buck spender, that's a fact.
Jeb, Walker, W. Bush, Rove, and Huckabee all wiped clean their servers, right before any investigation was about to start.
The media is now owned by Right Wing CEOs, part of the Reagan legacy that will haunt us forever, we are now informed by Right Wing heretics that have poisoned the air waves.

Donald likes Miley"In an interview with The New York Times, Cyrus says the 2016 presidential candidate took the time to personally compliment her work—as did Kanye West.
“I was in the studio with Kanye that night, and we watched it back and we didn’t say anything. He was like, ‘That was sick,’ whatever. We woke up the next day, and he was like, ‘Whoa.’ He called and said, ‘Turn on your TV,’” recalls Cyrus. “I was staying at the Trump Hotel and Donald Trump literally called and said, basically, ‘I know everyone’s talking about it, but I loved it.’ I had no idea anyone was talking about it yet.”
“Let me tell you something, Miss Cyrus,” Trump probably said. “I have a lot of respect for a woman who uses her tongue that liberally.”

Reagan was just an actor that played puppet to the Heritage Institute and every other far right wing group.
They played him to enact every right wing policy they could think of that trickled money upward.
He destroyed our Democracy and set up every bad thing we now have to endure.

Reagan's legacy is our Supreme Court = Citizens United
So I stand.
and FDR, one of our Greatest President, saved our Democracy from a fascist takeover, and pulled us out of the depression caused by conservative policies and the robber barons
wrong again

Actually FDR did that.
please elaborate
was it FDR's entry into WW2 that you now find so wrong?
or perhaps his creation of Social Security that pissed you off?
or perhaps his public works projects?
oh fill this thread with your powerful historically accurate intellect!

Anything-for- a-buck Bill WHILE Hillary was Sec State. Is it too late for Andrew Cuomo to get in?
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bill-clinton-sought-state-department-paid-speeches-related/story?id=33369277
While Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, Bill Clinton earned speaking fees around the globe totaling more than $48 million -- speeches that had to be vetted by the State Department to ensure there were no conflicts of interest with his wife's work as America's top diplomat. These newly revealed emails show speech requests that the State Department refused to approve.
The emails -- which have come to light because of a public records request by the conservative group Citizens United, which sued the State Department to get the documents -- show just how far Bill Clinton was willing to go to earn those lucrative fees -- seeking approval for appearances with ties to two of the most brutal countries in the world.

Another way that Reagan destroyed our Democracy was by deregulating the Media, now it's all monopolized by Big Brother.
He made the news into Infotainment, and set up Roger Ails with Fox news, where it's legal to LIE ALL you want.

I would bet that Trump makes even more than the Clintons for speaking fees
He does his "Art of the Deal" presentations, where he tells us we have to lie and bully to get the best deal.
Yes, the Art of the Con, he has perfected it.
I can see it now
On Sale half price!! Trump's new Book
"The Art of The Con"
How I conned a Nation of dupes to think I could be President

Neither has Hillary "survived" any particular scrutiny. Her sychophants in the media have hidden her troubles at every opportunity, including that afforded by Trump's antics. Her manipulation and "sanitizing" of data repsonsive to inquiries dates back at least to the time the missing Rose Law Firm billing records turned up in her office. Her manipulation of, and restrictions on, the press are already apparent
Utter nonsense. She has one of the worst relations with the press of any candidate. She's been the most analyzed, scrutinized, criticized and hounded political person in memory. And none of the false accusations added up to anything more than vapor. Nothing, dust. Zero. Just like this e-mail fake scandal will.
