I don't know, I think all this could work in Trump's favor. It's not like anyone who supported him is going to not vote for him because FSA/BLM stopped him from campaigning, it's going to do the opposite and perhaps grab a few independents & fence-sitters. It'd be pretty genius if those conspiracy-theorists saying that Trump orchestrated this are correct.Quote:

I think things just changed. Not only do we look like a third world country but the political process is overtly being compromised.Quote:

If a person were closely examining the moral/ethical lay of the land, I'd say it just changed.
Me too. Cruz just terminated his campaign, IMHO.Quote:

There is a theory that the Trump camp may have wanted this to happen as it would further polarize the field. If so, Cruz played right into it. He has either disqualified himself by being stupid or by being a traitor. Either way, unprecedented GOP shenanigans withstanding, he is done.
If Republicans (especially Trump supporters) protested and shut down either D candidate rally you know there would be screams of Racists, Nazi's, bullies, strong armed intimidation tactics, etc. Instead the headlines read of We Won!! Trump stopped dead in his tracks!! This is all such a prime example of how you better be PC in this country and if you don't follow the PC crowd you will be ostricized. The social climate in this country and what is being allowed to happen is disgusting.
I'm a Cruz supporter and after this I think its over for him as well. Oh well, as much as I think he'd make a good president I really would love to see him stay in the Senate for a while and maybe end up with Mitch's job someday.Quote:

Also not going to be our savior.Quote:

Stepping back from it all, the US is 320M+ people welcomed from all over the world who, thanks to the elimination of states' rights, all have to live under the same system/values decided by 51% of (supposedly) eligible voters. It shouldn't be surprising that the nation is no longer ideologically compatible.
Makes sense to me!Quote:
