Donald Trump Wins Nevada Caucuses, Collecting Third Straight Victory By ALEXANDER BURNSFEB. 23, 2016 Donald J. Trump was declared the winner of the Nevada caucuses on Tuesday night, according to the Associated Press, gaining a third consecutive victory in an early-voting state and strengthening his position in the Republican presidential race before the wave of Super Tuesday elections on March 1. Turnout in Nevada was reported very high. Mr. Trump was seen as a favorite going into the contest, but his victory still serves as a setback for his chief competitors, Senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Marco Rubio of Florida, who must now try to break Mr. Trump’s winning streak in the larger states that vote in the coming weeks. For Mr. Trump, the outcome in Nevada is another sign of his campaign’s durability and the breadth of his appeal: He has now handily won primary elections in New England and in the South, and a caucus fight in the far West. He won over independent voters in New Hampshire and evangelicals in South Carolina, and prevailed in Nevada, where Mormon voters and rural activists wield influence. This latest triumph may only encourage Mr. Trump in the brash campaign style that has alienated many Republican officials and mainstream voters. In the two days leading up to the Nevada caucuses, Mr. Trump called Mr. Cruz a liar and threatened to deliver vicious attacks on Mr. Rubio as well. At a rally in Las Vegas on Monday evening, Mr. Trump ridiculed a protester in his audience and told supporters that he would have liked to “punch him in the face.” The results are likely to reinforce the sense among national Republican leaders that only direct confrontation can block Mr. Trump from claiming the party’s nomination, because none of the party’s most powerful voting blocs seems likely to thwart him on its own. Mr. Trump’s success in Nevada is also likely to increase the pressure on his opponents to somehow join forces against a common enemy. Mr. Cruz and Mr. Rubio have attacked each other angrily in recent days, as each has struggled to establish himself as Mr. Trump’s strongest rival. Mr. Cruz has intensified his hawkish comments on immigration to compete with Mr. Trump, and has argued that only a conservative running well to the right of Mr. Trump can challenge him effectively.

be careful that doesn't turn into a tornado
Glen Beck is probably in Melt Down Mode, and crying a river.

Trump was the liar ;or he has alzheimer . But the truth doesn't matter when you're bellowing to the crowd . The only thing that seems to matter is that "he calls it as he sees it " . More hopey changy . http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-dont-hand-federal-lands-to-states/ One of the biggest issues in Nevada is Federal control of the land mass of the state (85% federally owned ) . But if the state still voted for Trump then they either don't care about the issue like they say they do .....or they are stupid . "If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." Plato
And the Nevada voters prefer Trump.
And all the cuckservatives who have for years pretended to want change are howling.
I think it speaks to voter discontent with both parties that there is a possibility that Trump,who is NOT a Republican MAY end up facing Sanders,who is NOT a Dim in the Presidential election. It's not all that unusual to see blocks of voters from one party reject the party favorite,but this may be the first time ever this has happened for both parties at the same time. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
I am indeed, and I am pleased as punch.
1800 the Federalists got destroyed ;it's zombies hung around until 1820. 1854 the Whigs got destroyed . Maybe both parties get it this time .

be careful that doesn't turn into a tornado We need a tornado in this country to remove the dead wood and subversive politicians.
No candidate was going to change anything. Not your boy Rubio, Bush or Cruz. Not Kasich.
You told me that Trump was stuck at 30 percent. Looks like you are wrong again. You will be ok. Don't worry be happy.
Great cartoon !

One of the biggest issues in Iowa was ethanol but they voted for anti-ethanol Cruz. Go figure.
And I can't say I'm not. We have devolved to a de facto One Party Nation,and it is destroying us. IF it turns out to be the revolutionaries Trump and Sanders going head to head this cycle and it results in the destruction of the DNC/RNC iron grip on this country,I see that as a good thing. Remember,very few revolutionaries survive the revolution. BTW,why is Sanders considered too old,and Trump is not despite being maybe 4 years younger? Once you are in your 70's,4 years is like what 15 minutes used to be. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

AShhhh,if only it weren't another one of his scams!

That's a positive way to view it. I can't believe Trump still has a chance - the blowhard scares me less than Bernie.
The emperor promised to blow up the country ;and the country gave his revolution 8 years to succeed. Now one party is going to international socialism and the other to nationalist socialism . "If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." Plato
Looks like you are wrong again. You will be ok. Don't worry be happy. yeah I guess I'll have to resign to 'punch him in the face' politics . "If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." Plato
That is because you want something for nothing. I told you Trump was going to win. From the beginning. My political instincts are unmatched.
If I hosted an event and some punks were fighting security. I'd like to punch them in the face also. I'd like to punch Hillary in the face.
You are getting what you wished for. I am indeed, and I am pleased as punch. Yep, you have a winning team there. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
You can always vote for Hillary instead.
I could. So can you. Oh....you are, you support Trump. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Glad to hear that you're back on your meds.
So, who will be next to quit? Carson, Cruz, Rubio, or Kaisch ?

If I knew that I wouldn't be posting here:) IMO both Carson and Kasich should have bowed out by now. Kasich will probably hang around at least until the Ohio primary. What Carson is hanging on for is a mystery. At this point my guess is money. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Yeah, a long time ago, they should be next. If / when Cruz quits, Glen Beck will probably become suicidal.

If Cruz doesn't win Texas and Rubio doesn't win Florida it is game over and we should be preparing for a {gulp} Hillary vs. Hillary, oh, sorry, Hillary vs. Trump grand kabuki theater performance for our viewing pleasure.

Trump is a winner.
I prefer winners that don't file bankruptcies, over and over and over again. Everything you want to know about Donald Trump's bankruptcies "Donald Trump brags about how well his businesses have fared in bankruptcy. And in fact, no major U.S. company has filed for Chapter 11 more than Trump's casino empire in the last 30 years. "I have used the laws of this country ... the [bankruptcy] chapter laws, to do a great job for my company, for myself, for my employees, for my family," he said during the first Republican presidential debate on August 6. Trump claims that successful businesses file for bankruptcy all the time. At the debate he said "virtually every person that you read about on the front page of the business sections, they've used the [bankruptcy] law." But the facts don't back that comment up. Despite high profile examples, including General Motors (GM), Lehman Brothers and most of the nation's major airlines, fewer than 20% of public companies with assets of $1 billion or more have filed for bankruptcy in the last 30 years, according to data from Bankruptcy.com and S&P Capital IQ. Trump has never filed for personal bankruptcy. But he has filed four business bankruptcies, which Bankruptcy.com says makes Trump the top filer in recent decades. All of them were centered around casinos he used to own in Atlantic City. They were all Chapter 11 restructurings, which lets a company stay in business while shedding debt it owes to banks, employees and suppliers. He makes no apologies for having much of his debt wiped out. "These lenders aren't babies. These are total killers," he said at the debate. "These are not the nice, sweet little people." Here's a look at Trump's bankruptcy track record. 1. Trump Taj Mahal, 1991 Trump's first bankruptcy filing was probably the most personally painful for him. To come up with the funds he needed, he sold a 282-foot yacht, as well as the Trump Shuttle, the airline he operated at the time that flew between Washington, D.C., New York and Boston, according to media reports at the time. He had to give up half of his ownership stake in the Trump Taj Mahal, but he did retain control of the property. His largest creditor was financier Carl Icahn, who held $400 million in bonds. Now Icahn is Trump's pick for Treasury secretary should he be elected. {NB - Talk about crony capitalism!!! Trump's got 'em.} 2. Trump Castle Associates, 1992 In less than a year he was back in bankruptcy court for his other Atlantic City casinos. This bankruptcy included the Trump Plaza Hotel in New York, the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City as well as the Trump Castle Casino Resort. He gave up half his interest in the New York Plaza to Citibank, but retained his stake in the casinos. 3. Trump Hotel & Casino Resorts, 2004 Trump didn't go back to bankruptcy court again until November 2004, when he filed to shed debt at his various Atlantic City casinos and a riverboat in Indiana. It was another quick trip through bankruptcy court; the company shed $500 million in debt and emerged from bankruptcy the following May. Trump turned over majority control of the company to his bondholders but remained the largest single shareholder, and he once again kept control of the casinos. 4. Trump Entertainment Resorts, 2009 His most recent bankruptcy came in 2009, after the company missed a $53.1 million bond payment. That was pretty much the end of the road for Trump in Atlantic City. While his name remained on three casinos, he resigned from the board and gave up his remaining stake in the company. "I had the good sense, and I've gotten a lot of credit in the financial pages, seven years ago I left Atlantic City before it totally cratered," he said during the debate. The two Atlantic City casinos that still had the Trump name filed for bankruptcy yet again in 2014. At the time Trump made sure people knew he was no longer running the company, and sued to have his name removed." потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
That's a positive way to view it. Well,if he wins the primary and doesn't drop out for cash and other considerations,what are our options? NOT saying I will vote for him because I won't.

Carson doesn't count. He already quit,but nobody has told him about it yet. He is the calmest zombie I have ever seen. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

If the money is right. I personally think he has been on the Clinton payroll all along,and his mission was to prevent a genuine conservative from getting any traction by pulling away conservative voters. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority?

Thank You.
Thank You. You are welcome. I MUST remember to start using the sarcasm tag! ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!
