Sadly more EGG lands on my friend ou maaaikie

in respect of his outlandish views on Donald Trump. Ou maaaikie read what Prof Peter Morici says. Time to wise up ou maaaikie and agree with Beeno !NOTE HOW THE MOOD IS CHANGEING OAKS!

Convincing victories by political outsiders in New Hampshire demonstrate without doubt most voters are disgusted with both political parties (WHICH ARE CONTROLLED BY THE GLOBAL ELITISTS  - POOR OU ROOITWIT STILL HASNT THE VAGUEST IDEA WHERE HE IS BEING LED BY THE NOZE!!). The electorate will probably make one of them — more likely Donald Trump—the next commander in chief.

Since 1976, just one candidate from either party has not won in both Iowa and New Hampshire (Bill Clinton in 1992) and still won his party’s nomination. While history clearly is not determinative, it can hardly be ignored.

New Hampshire Primary Results: Key Takeaways(1:41)

With Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders easily winning victory in their party primaries in New Hampshire, WSJ's Jerry Seib discusses where the two candidates, and their rivals, go from here.

On the Republican side, Trump won by a compelling margin in the Granite State over Iowa winner Ted Cruz — 36% to 12% — because he did well among both moderates and conservatives and most age categories, except the elderly.

Trump’s diverse appeal among Republicans and independents will be tough for Ted Cruz — who relies principally on religious conservatives and (with Rand Paul’s departure) libertarians — to counter beyond southern states. Perhaps not even those places — he is polling a bad second to Trump in South Carolina.

As for the very moderate Gov. John Kasich — endorsed in New Hampshire by both the New York Times and Boston Globe — he devoted enormous resources to that small state. With Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. Marco Rubio still in the mix, he won’t have the money to mount a successful southern strategy but could do decently enough in many of the 16 states holding contests on or before March 1 to be a king maker.

With five reasonably viable Republican candidates — Trump, Cruz, Kasich, Bush, and Rubio — and a few stubborn stragglers all winning some delegates, it will be tough for Trump to gather enough delegates before the national convention to lock up the nomination. (WE SHALL SEE TRUMP JUST KEEPS BUILDING MOMENTUM)

The most logical target for one of Trump’s famous deals is Kasich, who unless he trips, should have a nice bundle of delegates to bargain.

Kasich, like Trump, is not an ideology-pure conservative — at least as measured by those who impose a litmus test, such as the National Review. Rather both aremalleable personalities interested in workable solutions — for example, instead of denying poor folks health care for partisan reasons, the governor implemented the Medicaid provisions of the Affordable Care Act expansion in Ohio.

By offering Kasich the second spot on the ticket, Trump would show voters he is serious about finding help from seasoned politicians to deliver on trade, immigration, health care, and national security. On that score, if you can name a more solid candidate, then you can have my academic tenure.

Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders whipped Hillary Clinton across all demographic categories, including women, except voters over 65, in New Hampshire, but she still has a commanding hold on minority voters who are much more important in Democratic primaries elsewhere going forward.

To ultimately prevail, she will have to continue to emphasize positions that younger women embrace— such as the proposed Paycheck Fairness Act — and issues important to African-Americans and Hispanics, such as police behavior and social issues beyond simple economic justice.

That should be enough to ward off Sanders and win the Democratic nomination but will push her into an awkward position for the general election.

Criticizing police tactics to adequately appease Black Lives Matters will alienate many white moderates. The notion that Hillary merits women’s votes simply because she is a woman was roundly discredited in New Hampshire.

Young white women, along with white young men, often can’t find jobs that make good use of their education or pay very well. And Democratic prescriptions like more taxes, further building out Obamacare, free trade and open immigration will not have the appeal of radical change offered by Trump.

If Trump moderates his rhetoric and with the help of Kasich polishes his pragmatism on taxes, health care, immigration, and national security, he offers both sexes what they want most — a change in direction from the slow-growth policies of Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush and the promise of a more effective national security policy.

Enter President Trump.

 Meanwhile Trump sails into the complete nutter merkel:

REUTERS – U.S. Republican presidential contender Donald Trump said German Chancellor Angela Merkel was wrong to let in thousands of migrants into Germany and that the refugee crisis could trigger revolutions and even the end of Europe. (PLEASE NOTE APD!!)

“I think Angela Merkel made a tragic mistake with the migrants,” Trump told French conservative weekly Valeurs Actuelles, which said it was the billionaire’s first in-depth campaign interview with European media.

“If you don’t treat the situation competently and firmly, yes, it’s the end of Europe. You could face real revolutions,” Trump was quoted as saying, according to the French translation.

The 69-year-old property magnate also said Brussels had become a breeding ground for terrorists and some neighbourhoods in Paris and elsewhere in France had become no-go zones.

“Unfortunately, France is not what it used to be, and neither is Paris,” he said. He also said tight French gun laws were partly responsible for the killing of dozens of people at the Bataclan concert hall last November by Islamist militants.

“I always have a gun with me. Had I been at the Bataclan, I can tell you I would have opened fire,” he said.

Trump further said he thought the United States could have very good relations with Russia‘s Vladimir Putin and that nothing could be worse than the current situation where President Barack Obama and Putin scarcely spoke with each other.

“He (Putin) said I was brilliant. That proves a certain smartness,” said Trump. (YEY YEY TAKES ONE TO RECOGNISE ONE EH ROOITWIT!!)

The French magazine said the interview was conducted at Trump’s office in New York’s Trump Tower a week before the Iowa caucuses

OAKS WHAT OUTSTANDING COMMON SENSE  - HE IS 100% CORRECT ON ALL COUNTS

Beeno, your mood has not changed, still the deranged maniac ranting & raving of a Trump-pette. We were hoping for a speedy recovery... one must remain optimistic
Beeno (Circa 11 February 2016)

What happened to his dog house & butterfly? Remarked the fair-minded kiwi in dismay

 I suspect being rationed sexually by his better half has twisted his mind. 
He's plunged all his energy into this ... seeing as he's not allowed to plunge anything else into you know what. 
The poor dear!!!
What other explanation can there be for his constant ranting.

Let that be a lesson to us all.
Plunge ... and be merry.
 

CC: yes Beeno has even been kicked out of his dog house by "she who must be obeyed" (wife). Surely he will make a stand & he will return to his "normal" lunatic rantings about rugby & we will be spared this hysteria. One must remain optimistic

 Only 12% of the delegates to the Republican Convention is elected in February - wait till March - when 60% of the delegates are selected.  Trump at this stage in the lead the number of delegates, but is far away from a convincing lead of 50% of the delegates.
Trump will ultimately have to make a deal with one of the other candidates to get a suitable number to be elected as Republican candi date if it gets thus far.   

     

 The spin doctors operating at the behest of these global elitists crash.

Why does the mainstream media heap such scorn and disbelief on Donald Trump over his promise to build a great wall along the border with Mexico — and make Mexico pay for it? After all, Donald Trump has built a winning presidential campaign — and made the media pay for it. (HILARIOUS BUT TRUE!!)

Mr. Trump’s second place finish in Iowa gave respite to the legions of media pundits and establishment flunkies who suffer the worst forms of Donald Trump Derangement Syndrome. They braced for a huge blow-out win in the Corn State. When it didn’t happen, it was like an executioner’s gun jamming. First they flinched, then they blinked a few times and then got up and ran like their hair was on fire.

Ever since, of course, they have been gloating and crowing — from a safe distance — that Donald Trump failed. King Midas had finally touched something and turned it into silver, instead of gold.

This, to be sure, is every bit as delusional as the derangement syndrome that has captivated their sanity for six months now. What Donald Trump pulled off in Iowa was nothing short of miraculous.

The last time a secular, loud, brash New Yorker who was leading in all the national polls faced Iowa Republican voters — former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani in 2008 — he got truly schlonged. Mr. Giuliani came in sixth place with only 4 percent of the vote.

Donald Trump came in second place with an astonishing 24 percent of the vote. He was just 3.3 percentage points behind (AFTER SOME DUBIOUS STUFF FROM THE CRUZ CAMP(

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% of Texas, who won the race by shamelessly pandering to the state’s huge evangelical population, which has determined the outcome of every Republican caucus there since at least 2000.

If Rudy Giuliani had done as well in Iowa as Trump did, the media would have declared him the winner and he very likely would rushed through New Hampshire and South Carolina on waves of positive press and his ultimate gambit of winning it all in Florida very likely could have worked. In other words, if Mr. Giuliani had done as well as Mr. Trump did in Iowa, we quite possibly would be referring to him now as former President Giuliani.

But the media hatred for Mr. Trump is so unrestrained that even a stellar accomplishment like he had in Iowa was dismissed as a shattering loss. And 

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79%’s third place loss behind Mr. Trump was spun endlessly as some kind of huge victory.(ASK YOURSELF WHY THIS HATRED?) This propelled the Florida Republican, until his poor performance in last weekend’s robotic performance in the New Hampshire debate.

What is so amazing about Mr. Trump’s blowout in the nation’s first primary in the Granite State is not just the 2-to-1 win over the next-nearest competitor, but his performance among every demographic group on every single issue.

Among women, middle-aged voters, the elderly, the educated — all people the experts warned would flee from Donald Trump — Mr. Trump managed to win. And he won on every major issue, including the economy, foreign policy and immigration.

Perhaps the sweetest thing out of New Hampshire is how the media will be forced to spin the results. They will, of course, try to minimize Mr. Trump’s thumping.

Then they will be forced to breathe wind into Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s disappointing — but surprising — second-place finish. The Kasich campaign is hopeless going forward. And so the battle rages on for the so-called “establishment lane” with Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and even Ted Cruz piled up behind John Kasich’s hopeless campaign.

Live by the spin, die by the spin.

Quite so - if only rooitwit wouldn' t be sooo taken in by it. But he is not the only one! 

 Yes Mike and he is a great deal maker.

 JW please no more pics of your unhinged pet dog who you evidently mistreat badly.It could be upsetting to our more sensitive posters.

Donald Drumpf appeals to very stupid people and I think many have been surprised by his showing so far because they underestimated just how many very stupid people live in America.

Go Drumpf!

I enjoyed this quote from PJ O'Rourke . . .

"The US presidential field has begun to narrow at last. Although, to judge by who's left, this is not because of quality control."

LMAO!

 Did you note how many college graduates in NH voted for trump.Bang gos another wacky rooitiwit theory. The yanks are so dumb they have the biggest economy in the world. Bwahahahahahaha 
Rooitwit I see politics is not you game
To be fair to you though there are some wacked ous like obama and hillary clinkie

And now my favourite recent quote from Drumpf himself . . .

“My grandparents didn’t come all the way from Germany just to see it get taken over by immigrants. Not on my watch.”

LMAO!

 His father was German but mother Scottish
UK Media humbled!!!!

When Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97% won Iowa last week, the British media almost collectively orgasmed: “OMG Trump lost!” This morning was different, with UK media coalescing around the idea that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)16% and Donald Trump have “shaken up” the Presidential race.

That would be good analysis, were it not almost a year too late. The truth is no one in the establishment media could predict this moment. Journalists have asked me, time and again, “Surely America will come to its senses?” I’ve always answered: “It is. That’s what this is”. (Exactly so!)

Mainstream figures don’t understand why the “favoured” candidates, Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, aren’t being propelled to victory by their charmless centrism. And that’s because most journalists aren’t knowledgeable enough (or old enough) to remember anything before the 2008 election of Barack Obama – a hangover from the “Third Way” of Bill Clinton.

But today, popular news outlets across the country have been forced to admit: the anti-establishment feeling surging through America is no joke.

The BBC leads with: “Both candidates are riding on a wave of discontent with mainstream politics”.(Global elitists please not you cant fool all the people all of the time unless the population is made up of rooitwits Hahahahahhahahaha)

The Independent says: “Outsiders Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders were handsomely rewarded by the voters of New Hampshire on Tuesday night – with predictions handing them huge wins over their establishment rivals”.

The Guardian reports: “Donald Trump, once an object of mockery and scorn by many in the political establishment, has won the New Hampshire Republican primary.”

The Daily Mail notes: “About half [of Republican voters] also said they want the next U.S. president to be someone who comes from outside America’s political ‘establishment.'”

From the Telegraph: “Maverick candidates Trump and Sanders rock US political establishment”.

The Huffington Post UK states: “Both winners peddle a strong ideological message at odds with the country’s political mainstream”.

Westminster’s most establishment magazine, the Spectator even admitted: “Populism won tonight in New Hampshire. Rage against the elite won tonight in New Hampshire”.(Exactly so)

But the Murdoch press wasn’t quite as conciliatory, after Mr. Trump declared war against his Fox News Channel by refusing to attend the debate in Iowa.

The Times reports: “Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary last night – the surest sign yet that voters are ready to put a billionaire former reality TV star with no political experience into the world’s most powerful executive position.”

Much rather a top flight business brain with great connections than some political hack serving his masters who has achieved zip.

 Beeno
Allow me to explain - after the two states have been finalized the standing of the candidates are as follows:-
Trump     -   17Cruz       -   11Rubio      -   10Kazick     -    5Bush       -    3Carson    -    3
So out of a total of 49 delegates Trump has only 17 - 32 delegates went to other candidates.   if the same trend continues Trump will have to make deals - but the situation is that if Bush, Kasick and Carson withdraw - their delegates is likely to go to  Rubio - which could end up with him on top of the pile.
  

 Cruz and Trump will stick togeter and some from theother guys. Also what is important is trends. Trump will get on a roll I believe.Ou maaaikie lets switch our attention to the EU. I do trust we can agree that Brexit then Fexit then Nexit is for the best.
There seems to be big momentum building for Brexit. Read this.

Nigel Farage: We can ONLY control our borders by leaving the EU

NIGEL Farage will use a keynote speech tomorrow to say that the threat of a surge of uncontrolled immigration to Britain will be the defining issue of the EU referendum.

Speaking at a major Brexit conference in London, the Ukip leader will warn that a vote to stay in the EU will mean that migrant numbers will soar to new record levels.

He will point out that the EU is being pushed to accept Turkey as a new member by the British and German governments, while Bosnia's application is also being actively considered, opening Britain up to almost 80 million economic migrants.

The major intervention comes as the Daily Express' online poll has attracted more than 106,000 votes with 92 per cent saying they want Britain to free itself from Brussels rule.

And in a further boost to the Brexit campaign one of Britain's most high profile companies Tate and Lyle Sugars has announced that it believes the country should vote to leave the EU and dismissed David Cameron's membership renegotiation.

It is clear that immigration is the number one issue and concern for the British people and will be the defining issue of this EU referendum campaign

Nigel Farage

The company's senior vice president Gerald Mason has said that if more significant reform is not forthcoming "we are absolutely certain that our business and people who work in it would have a more secure future outside the EU."

His comments make a mockery of claims by Britain Stronger in Europe (BSE) that a Brexit would spell economic disaster for the UK.

And in his speech Mr Farage will warn that the UK will not be able to cope with the surge of migrants if it stays in the EU.

He will be speaking at the 'The Good Life after Brexit: How Britain will be safer leaving the EU - and what comes next' conference which will issue a rallying call for Britain to quit the EU and seize the opportunity afforded by the restoration of national independence.

Mr Farage will explain that the inclusion of Turkey in the EU will allow its population of 75 million to come to Britain along with the millions of Syrian migrants who are in refugee camps there.

Meanwhile there have been reports that Bosnia with a population of 3.8 million is being infiltrated by Islamic State terrorists who are buying property there and would be free to come to the UK if it is allowed into the EU.

Mr Farage will say: "It is clear that immigration is the number one issue and concern for the British people and will be the defining issue of this EU referendum campaign.

"The fact that we can only control our borders if we leave the European Union, that we can only ever get an Australian-style points system as an independent country outside of the EU is clearly an argument that has massive appeal out there across the country.

He will remind the conference that Britain already has "record high levels of migration running at a completely unsustainable third of a million net per year" which he will point out is already "placing huge pressure on social cohesion and on our national infrastructure."

However, he will warn that a vote to stay in the EU will make the situation even worse.

He will say: "But a vote in this referendum to Remain in the EU is likely to see a Britain with even higher net migration levels in the years to come. (NOTE ALL THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE GLOBALIST MULTICULTURALIST WANT AND WHAT THEIR MEDIA HAVE BEEN BRAIN WASHING THE EUROPEANS AND AMERICANS TO ACCEPT)

"Angela Merkel and David Cameron are both supporting Turkish membership of the EU which would mean open borders for 75 million Turks. Bosnia is formally applying to join the EU on the 15th February.

"And then we have the continually unstable situation in the euro zone which is likely to see another collapse, which would mean a surge of migrants to the UK especially given the minimum wage is being raised to the living wage and will act as an even bigger financial pull for EU migrants looking to come to Britain."

The conference has been organised by David Campbell Bannerman MEP, co-chairman of Conservatives for Britain.

In a shot across the bows of the European Commission, the conference will take place at the European Commission's UK headquarters in Smith Square, London, the former Conservative Party Headquarters.

Former Tory ministers Liam Fox, David Davis and John Redwood, Labour MP Graham Stringer, DUP's Iain Paisley Jr, Vote Leave chief executive Matthew Elliott and Leave.EU spokesman Brian Montieth will share a platform at the conference.

Mr Campbell Bannerman said: "This will be the first time the Leave campaign has come together on one stage to present a positive vision of a better life outside of the EU.

"People need to know what the alternative to EU membership will be. We believe Brexit will make us freer, happier, wealthier and safer. Britain just needs to have confidence in ourselves again.

"In short, Brexit means taking back control of our economy, our public services, our democracy and our borders - on all counts Britain will be more secure if we leave the EU.

THESE ARE THE TYPE OF VIEWS THAT THE EMINENTLY SANE TRUMP ESPOUSES.

Ou Maaik, I think you'd have more chance of getting a subnormal hamster to understand quantum physics than you have of getting Baboon-ou to grasp the basics of how the US presidential elections work.

It's going to be very funny if Drumpf doesn't win the GOP nomination. The Niagara Falls of egg that Moffie and Dense will have all over their faces every time Quinton de Kock makes runs will seem tame compared to what Baboon-ou will have to deal with should sanity prevail and Drumpf gets beaten.

 Correction Mike. If Trump has significantly more delegates, but is short of a majority, other candidates will release their delegates who will simply shift over to the leader ....no deals are required unless the issue is too close to call.
But these things swing all over the place. NC should be Cruz territory, but Trump holds a lead. A strong win by Trump in NC could give him unstoppable momentum. It's the first real test.

 Mozart
What about Texas and Florida?  I think that Super Tuesday will clarify the matter further.  I am sure you mean South Carolina, where the next primary is taking place.
I think that the Republican Establishment more than anybody else would influence where the delegates of the minority candidates who withdraw their candidacy would go.  Another fourth in SC would probably cause withdrawal of Bush and if Kasick scores badly in that contest - he is likely to also pull out.  Carson is not likely to do well either - so the situation is fluid.  
If Bush, Kasick and Carson withdraw their candidacy - I think the Establishment would put their money on Rubio - they hate Cruz and Trump is a complete outsider.    

Pffffft!

"A strong win by Trump in NC . . ."

This conceited blowhard is trying to pretend he knows what's going on and he doesn't even know which state the primary is in!

LMAO!

 Mike these things are very volatile. As we saw with Rubio support swings rapidly....people are picking a favorite within the party, not a party....in the latter case a very stable process.. So a big win for either of Cruz or Trump in SC would be very influential....because unlike Iowa or NH, it isn't a foregone conclusion.

 Rooitwit would you mind stopping your yapping while the adults here discuss matters.Thanks.
Rubio just hasnt got it. Trump will win the GOP nomination and go on to be President.
Imaginge the huge egg if Trump does win. It will land heavily on that egg magnet rooitwit whose rediculous anti Trump stance is making him look a bigger lunatic by the day.Bwahahahahahahaha and pffft etc.

 The Huffington post......rabidly anti Republican....are pushing the idea of a brokered convention, which would correspond with Mike's notion of dealing. It will be decided long before the convention in my view.

 Beeno
He will not win the contest to be the Republican nomination with 35% of the vote - he will have to do a lot more - something like 45% of the vote is another question - but with 35% and being an outsider it is unlikely that he would be elected by the Republican Convention as their candidate.
If the present situation is repeated countrywide Trump could end up with 350 representatives at the Congress meaning that he would be at least a hundred members sort to allow for his selection.
However, as Mozart say the situation is fluid and what we forecast now can change next month when the majority of delegates will be elected during primaries and caucuses.
To say at this stage that Trump will be selected as Republican candidate is way to early and unrealistic.    
      

 ou maaaaikie you are fouling up badly here. 35% of the vote in a crowded field is excellent. As that filed narrows down Trump will pick up more votes.I have seen more than one article saying how well trump is doing in such a crowded field.Not only that but if trump is well ahead I believe he cn offer the VP to someone like Cruz for his support etc.
ou maaaiki e you have to see the bigger picture and the wood from the trees. Something oaks like ou rooitwit cant do!

 Not many of the lesser candidate votes will go to Trump - I tried to tell you elsewhere that it is likely it will go to a candidate like Rubio.  
Offering the Deputy post to Cruz would be a major problem.   Cruz is not an easy baby to handle - the establishment hates his guts.   But maybe I may be wrong - the voters dislike the establishment - both RP and DP.
