Chris Matthews serves Trump his first stumping

Chris Matthews, that whinney little bitch.

Politics has gotten so dirty, the good leaders won't run anymore.
Sen. John Thune should be running.

I really should sir. This stuff is so obvious. I've mentioned before in high school I got a small scholarship from the national forensic League. I was never a debater I got all my points from Individual events especially boys extemporaneous speaking. In a competition you would go into your round competing against approximately 5 other kids. When you got there you were given a basket from which to pick 3 topics of those you select one and you have ten minutes to prepare a 6 minute speech. In the first two weeks of competition we realized but pretty much all the questions or similar so we would each have a canned speech ready to go for whatever topics we selected. No idea why Trump refuses to do that and I fear that will be his downfall, furthermore that will be the downfall of the country when Hillary takes office.WSS - you should be advising Trump because that is the spot on answer. I think Trump is a smart man as well but he has never held public office and he needs to surround himself with good advisers.

I would be a poor debater. Usually after I debate someone I think of about 20 things I should have said. I have lots of practice though with my ultra liberal dad who I have debated this stuff many times through the years. I usually get the best of him but one time he kind of went on a *winning streak* against me until I started googling his *facts* (he is at a disadvantage knowing nothing about the internet) and found none of what he was saying was true. When I asked him about it I got him to admit (like a typical lib) he was making things up.

Ha yeah the thing about debate is that it isn't personal. You will start a season with a topic and they could switch sides on that topic on you at any time. For instance resolved: marijuana should be legalized in the United States for recreational purposes. One side gets Pro one side gets Con.
Halfway through the season you might be required to change sides. It's just a game. As far as making shit up I actually won a round completely fabricating everything I said. Furthermore the judge knew it and told me that I won the round just because it was an enjoyable speech and most people wouldn't know it was all Bs.

PS as we speak MSNBC is asking Trump's opponents about this exact issue and everyone is waffling. Of course the woman shouldn't be punished. Really? I mean if something is against the law why should there be no repercussions for those who break it? They are giving everyone else, John Kasich Hillary Clinton Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz a pass without badgering them for an answer.

He's already backtracked on this, right? Not shocked.

I wouldn't argue with the logic but you know if a politician wants to be elected over the grade of dog catcher he cannot take the position of criminal penalties for women having abortions. The laws we have today are pretty much the laws we want and those we don't want get changed. The people in the country do not want criminal penalties for women having abortions and to try to force that would work as well as prohibition did.
Rand Paul made a good point on the other side. The liberal media will always try to trip republican candidates on the abortion issue but democrats never get asked questions about whether they support late term abortions.

I don't know Cal when I looked into prior presidential campaigns going back to the beginning of the country it seems like politics has been dirty for centuries. For an unknown reason to me I like following politics.

Bernie Sanders answer that with a flat no restrictions answer. Pro-choice means pro-choice when asked about late-term.

Why is abortion even a topic? Were we going to re right the abortion laws?

And speaking of MSNBC Mike Huckabee was just got reminded me of why I like Mike Huckabee so much. I wish I could find a video clip of his responses and I certainly can't take shorthand so I can't quote verbatim butt his answers or just about exactly as they should be.
It boils down to the average voter he thinks the economy is shit and we are in danger of having our way of life fucked up the way the Europeans have. That means some slight glitch in the nuance in a conversation with an attack dog like Chris Matthews isn't really a glaring problem.
He also modestly pointed out the fact that even though he had thought through some of these subjects pretty carefully he was still an unemployed politician talking about someone who's winning States on a morning talk show.

The only outside chance is the fact that legally Roe vs. Wade has basis in the viability of the fetus which has probably changed thanks to Medical Technology since Roe v Wade was settled. But no it's not going to change. It's just bullshit for the masses. We are never going to bring back slavery but if a candidate said he was for it and gave a list of reasons people would freak out even though there's absolutely no chance it would ever happen. So there.

If Ted Cruz appoints 3 justices, you know that answer to that.

By the way the polls are out for Wisconsin with Cruz leading and Trump behind by 10. John Kasich comes in a relatively strong third. Polls also show that Trump supporters second choice is John Kasich. That means if Kasich were not in the race Trump would be leading by probably 18 points.

Is it true the other way around, though? Are most Kasich supporters going to list Donald as their 2nd choice?

Interesting. All the talking heads thought Kasich staying in the race was a hindrance to Cruz going head to head with Trump. I thought all along Kasich staying in the race might help Cruz (but who knows how it will play out past Wisconsin?). Kasich did help Cruz for sure by taking Ohio which Trump would have won if Kasich was not in the race.

I'm not sure. I didn't see it broken down any further than that. It made sense to me since I voted for John Kasich butt my second choice just of the ones who are left, would be Donald Trump.

Everybody's been wrong about the guys dropping out. Rubio dropped out and everybody gained equally. Jeb dropped out and Trump gained the most. If Kasich drops out it'll probably split pretty evenly to Trump/Cruz.
People seem to think that since Kasich is polling at 20% nationally and Cruz is polling at 20% nationally (Trump is 50%+) then Cruz will be closer to 40-50% when kasich drops out!
But in reality Trump would exceed 60% and Cruz might hit 30%.
Cruz is totally done - outside of Wisconsin (which he might lose because it isn't a closed primary/caucus). After that let's be real - Trump is probably going to win all 95 from NY. The NE states are in favor of Trump by far (with Kasich as #2). He'll probably have the 1237 locked up pre-California, if he doesn't then he's polling ahead in CA too which is a shitton of delegates WTA.
Neither Cruz nor Kasich have a path to the nomination - after Trump sweeps the north east I expect Cruz and Kasich will both bow out as the chances of brokered convention will be 0.
