Countdown to Extinction: The 2016 Presidential Election

Trump reminds me somehow of a US version of Zhirinovsky, who BTW (according to Wiki for example), is also getting more and more clownish

Top Google Search on Jeb: "Is Jeb Still Running?"

Other nuggets showing the state of the American voter:
- Other queries about Bush include: "Where is Jeb Bush today?" and "What does Jeb stand for?" as well as, "Is Jeb Bush Republican?"
- In the case of Marco Rubio, the top two queries are whether the Florida senator is a Republican or a Democrat.
- A popular Google search is the inexplicable "Why is Donald Trump right?"

"We have to be much tougher," [Lenin] said in another interview on CNBC, reports the AP. "We are going to have to give up certain privileges that we've always had."

Is Donald Trump fanning Islamophobia in the US?

But he was doing so well . . .

"Time for a doer" it says. What did he do? Or was it more of a diddly doo?

[Karl Henning]

Through the whole campaign, he never made as much news, as the day he withdrew from the campaign.

Trump said appalling things about how he'd treat Muslims after the Paris attack.  Seemingly no damage done.  Now he mocks a dude with a disability.  (Though to be fair, Wendy Davis got there first on the disability front.)  It's hard to see how this hurts him in light of everything else he's said.  Like him, love him, hate him, find him perpetually amusing, whatever, Trump is setting the standard for shamelessness, you've got to give him that.

Trump is a cruel hoax and a sham- but not for the reasons most people may think.

Bilderberg  is running him as a spoiler for Hillary.

     This is something all the candidates can get behind without delay.

[Tapio Dmitriyevich]

Ah, wasn't clear from the subject, you are talking about the US.

[Todd]

Looks like you can stump the Trump.  That it's the Latino Nixon doing it does not necessarily offer much comfort.  Perhaps the predictive power of the caucus with be more like 2012 than 2000.

"To those people who think Obama's a Muslim who was born in Kenya, I lost you a long time ago," [South Carolina Sen. Lindsey] Graham said Wednesday on CNN's "New Day." "There's a dislike of Obama in my party that's unhealthy, there was a dislike for President (George W.) Bush in the Democratic party that was unhealthy. He is my President."
