I'm new on urban75.net and came across this thread before i made it to post my actual question - great idea!
Gromit: I really hope so too! The most powerful tool populist politicans, no matter if left- or right-wing, have is the media, that gives them a perfect stage.

It's curious, isn't it?

I think there are lots of shenanigans going on behind the scenes to crown Cruz, although of course there are many within the GOP machine who despise him even more than Trump.

It's astonishing so many don't seem to realise what they'd be letting themselves in for if it was Cruz instead of Trump. At least with Trump the Dems are more likely to win, regardless of the candidate. With Cruz, it's fucking neck and neck between him and Clinton.

That polling just seems to exist so that Cruz can be painted as a viable alternative to Trump. I would be amazed if, it actually came to Cruz vs Clinton, he got within twenty percent of her.

lol

That polling is conducted by several different organisations on a regular basis and has been for months. It's not in the pocket of Big Cruz.
 
This great pile of steaming horseshit, purporting to be directly from Trump in the local paper today:

Donald Trump exclusive P&J column in full: ‘How Scotland will help me become president’
11 April 2016 by Martin Little

In my book, Never Give Up, there is a chapter about building my golf course in Aberdeenshire titled “When the Other Side Expects a Duel, Offer a Partnership”.
Considering my current presidential campaign in the United States, that statement could be considered to be prescient.
Let’s just say I have had some experiences and lessons learned in Scotland that have helped my current status politically.
Most of you know by now that I have family roots in Scotland as my mother was born on the Isle of Lewis.

I am also known as a great golf course developer, and since Scotland and golf go hand in hand, it is no surprise that I would be passionate about developing a golf course there.
I think what surprised people is just how passionate I was about it – it’s kind of like how I feel about America.
When I first arrived on the scene in Aberdeen, the people of Scotland were testing me to see just how serious I was – just like the citizens in the United States have done about my race for the White House.
I had to win them over – I had to convince them that I meant business and that I had their best interests in mind.
Well, Scotland has already been won – and so will the United States.
None of this has been fast or easy in either venue.
I had reviewed sites in Europe for over five years and had considered 100 possibilities before seeing the links land at Menie Estate.
I was thrilled. Then, the reality set in. People laughed when they saw what I had planned for these spectacular 1,400 acres, and wasted no time in telling me I’d never ever get approvals to go ahead. Never ever.
For those of you who know me, this was a challenge I welcomed.
But it reminds me of the response I had when I announced my candidacy for the presidency of the United States in June of 2015.

“Really!?” was about it.

I saw the tide turn in Aberdeen when it became apparent that I was doing extensive research on environmental concerns and had hired the leading authorities on everything concerning this amazing land.

For example, the 25 acres of sand dunes required the attention of geomorphologists.
We worked with Scottish National Heritage and forged a partnership based on our collective interests.
Any mistrust was replaced by confidence in my ability as well as my dedication.
I spent a great deal of money because this was, indeed, a labour of love for me.
It honours my mother and has helped the economy of Scotland. My family and I are grateful to both Scotland and United States, and it feels good to give back.
When I make an analogy of my work in Scotland to my pursuits in the United States, there are several parallels that are very clear to me.

Passion. Giving Back. Dedication. Results!

In Scotland, we worked together for the best results possible. The results have been spectacular. The course has been touted as the greatest links course in the world.
I wish I could say the same about the state of affairs in the United States.
But that’s one reason I have been so determined in my quest for the Presidency – I know I can produce results, I know I can make a difference.
I know it won’t be easy, but Scotland wasn’t easy either!
There’s a stubborn streak in me that I inherited, and I am grateful for that.

That’s what produces winners.

As Scots, I think you will have to agree with me.

Once again, just remember who the executive editor of this paper is married to - Trumps "Executive Vice President" at Menie. Ho-hum!
 
ufff :mad:

White high school soccer fans chanted, “Donald Trump, build that wall,” at a group of black and Latina players from an opposing team last week in Wisconsin.

Some of the players from the Beloit Memorial girls varsity soccer team walked off the field during the game Thursday at Elkhorn Area High School after they were taunted with racial slurs and the pro-Trump chant, reported WISC-TV.

LAREDO, Texas — Construction on the new border wall
with Mexico stopped suddenly on Friday, dealing a major setback to one of President Trump’s key campaign promises, after Mexico refused to pay.

Even if he could somehow get Mexico to pay for it, Trump's wall would mean negotiating/seizing private property from hundreds of American property owners along the US side of the Mexican border.
What Donald Trump doesn’t want you to know about his plan to build a “Great Wall” between the U.S. and Mexico: He’d need to steal private property from Americans to build it.

If the first 700 miles built in from Bush-era mandates took over a decade to litigate eminent domain cases.....and affected nearly 500 homeowners, Trump’s 35-foot-tall-1,000-mile-long monstrosity will take at least as many.

The Great Wall Of Trump Would Be the Ultimate Eminent Domain Horror Show
 
That would mean invading and seizing hundreds or thousands of square miles of Mexico. No prob for Donald. There's precedent for that from 1847.
 
What's the political reaction to all this shit in Mexico? Worse if you're in the US and having to deal with it first hand but still. There's basically a Presidential candidate who's making their country the enemy. Any nationalist or anti-US stuff coming as reaction?

Noted cartel boss El Chapo escaped from prison apparently in order to deal with The Donald but sadly he was recaptured a little prematurely.

They burned him in effigy on Easter.
MEXICO CITY — This country's artisans usually set fire to effigies of unpopular Mexican politicians in their “burning of Judas” ritual every Easter weekend. This year, the politician they love to hate the most is an American: Donald Trump.

So they are stuffing papier mâché figures of The Donald with fireworks, hanging them in the public square and lighting the fuse. Mexican media report effigies of the New York businessman being blown up in at least six cities.
