This maybe my last post before banning but at no price will I accept ab ass being able to sensor my posts.
As has been seen in the recent analysis of the Super Tuesday results the vast majority of Americans in all those states agreed with the Trump ban on muslims. I do trust we will not have a Cologne situation here where ED decides the facts cant be mentioned!Lets not mention the rapes as it may offend muslims!! This is crazy stuff.
Meanwhile Rubio the establishment candidate has flopped badly. What is certain is a non establishment candidate will win the GOP nomination.

After getting shellacked by Donald Trump on Super Tuesday with a win in only one state — and let’s be honest, Minnesota is just barely a state — Senator 

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79% made the cable rounds  hoping to spin his way out of a campaign that is now in very serious trouble. Even Rubio’s super PAC over at Fox News wasn’t buying it. But CNN’s Jake Tapper could hardly contain his disbelief at Rubio’s Rain Man-ian spin.

Near the end of the interview,  Tapper just came out and asked, “I’m wondering if there’s a certain amount of denial that you’re in about this race?”

This was the look on Tapper’s face just before he asked the question

Tapper: Senator, you keep saying that, and [Trump] keeps winning states, and you’re talking about Virginia and that’s another state that Donald Trump won. I’m wondering if there’s a certain amount of denial that you’re in about this race.

Rubio: No, Jake. We’re in the winner-take-all phase of this. Up you know this is about delegate count. You know in a usual race you’d have a front-runner and people would be saying you need to drop out and rally around the front-runner. What people are saying is fight as hard as you can…

After the interview Tapper said, “Call it determination, call it denial — Senator Marco Rubio.”

Don't be over-happy - a long way to go.   Trump lost ion Texas by near to 500 000 votes.
Lets look at the following analysis of the results in the actual Primaries held:-
Trump   =    2 558 586 votes   -   33,34%Cruz     =    2 416 352 votes   -   31,49%Rubio    =    1 810 392 votes   -   23,59%Others  =       887 599 votes   -   11,56%
There were two Republican Caucuses - Alaska and Minnesota - both won by Cruz and Rubio respectively.   Alaska was a surprise since Pahlen was behind Trump - showing the real value of her support.   In Minnesota Trump came a bad third.
Trump cannot win anything without either Cruz or Rubio to support him and it does not look like Rubio would throw in his lot with Trump and Cruz has attacked Trump as a donater of money to the politico insiders in Washington - also to Hilary Clinton and admitting that he is not serious in his promised migrant reforms.
The above will not be enough support to gather enough votes to be a candidate for the Republican Party with less than a 2% majority in votes cast over the next candidate and in fact getting less than a third of the votes cast.

  By Stephanie Condon CBS News November 27, 2015, 3:03 PM Donald Trump prompts Nazi references

After Donald Trump in recent weeks suggested stepping up security measures to put further scrutiny on Muslim Americans, such as surveilling mosques, liberals and conservatives alike called his ideas fascist.

But in case those critiques didn't get the point across, some politicians and pundits are now making a more direct connection between Trump's views and Nazism.

For instance, New Day for America, the super PAC supporting the candidacy of Ohio's GOP Gov. John Kasich, released a web video this week featuring retired Air Force Col. Tom Moe, a former Vietnam POW. Moe is shown speaking at an event in Ohio, where he warns about the potential danger Trump's candidacy poses by paraphrasing the famous anti-Nazi remarks delivered by pastor Martin Niemöller.

"You might not care if Donald Trump says Muslims should register with their government, because you're not one," Moe is shown saying over ominous music. "And you might not care if Donald Trump says he's going to round up all the Hispanic immigrants, because you're not one. And you might not care if Donald Trump says it's okay to rough up black protesters, because you're not one. And you might not care if Donald Trump wants to suppress journalists, because you're not one. But think about this: If he keeps going, and he actually becomes president, he might just get around to you. And you better hope there's someone left to help you."

The brutal video was released a day after New Day For America released an anti-Trump ad in New Hampshire. The super PAC is planning to spend $2.5 million to attack Trump.

Meanwhile, New York Times op-ed writer Timothy Egan on Friday published an column slamming Trump's proposed "police state" that would target Muslims, as well as other groups like Hispanics. Trump's proposal to deport the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants "would prompt a million Hispanic Anne Franks -- people hiding in the attics and basements of Donald Trump's America," Egan wrote. He also bashed Trump supporters, charging that Trump's rallies are "scary spectacles of rabid brown shirts in Dockers."

Political commentator Roger Simon wrote in a column this week, "Do not say you were not warned. Der Donald has warned you. Security is going to rule in America. And unthinkable things will be done." Simon also referenced Martin Niemöller's warning.

Last week, Jeb Bush adviser John Noonan said on Twitter that tracking Muslims -- an idea that Trump didn't propose himself, but hasn't ruled out -- equates to fascism.

Conservative radio host Steve Deace and conservative Max Boot, and adviser for Marco Rubio, had similar criticisms:
