    This could get to be a very broad issue, or debate, endless almost, due to thousands of variables, ..... I think this is where my bus stop is, (for the time being) after all, I'm retired, I'd love to engage in this; but- crunching numbers and formula's, was once second nature, today its an adventure....:cowboy::doh:

    continue on my friends- :drumroll::blazerwookie:

    ...^^^ I'm from the Woodstock generation, so I tend to question most everything...and though I'm usually a skeptic, I'm not about humans having an adverse effect Mother Earth.

    ...^^^ In this day and age, skepticism an essential trait, for those who survive ...

    Saw a documentary on Hendrix the other day, on Woodstock. How Jimi was paid approx., 4 times ($100,000.-), what any bands were paid . Being the headliner, he was scheduled initially (prior to delays), to close on the last night, around 10pm. Began his set moments before Sunrise; awakening 40-50,000 peeps, left in attendance, (out of 400,000+ at max peak in those 3 days), to the immortalized Star Spangled Banner.....perfect tune at sunrise...

    ^^^I remember playing the Woodstock album over and over and over...and when Hendrix's rendition of the star spangled banner was released to the air waves it cause quite a stir. But in the summer of '69 it was pure genius...a left handed guitarist playing a right handed guitar turned upside down.

    The highlight for me at Woodstock was the late great Alvin Lee with Ten years after doing "I'm going home". One of the most amazing guitar solo's I ever heard.

    The Great Alvin Lee! Ten Years After were a great band.

    We lost Alvin Lee a couple of years ago.

    Canned Heat put on a good show at Woodstock.

    Not so fast Rick. We're in the bottom of the 5th....

    While Hillbilly will likely lead going into the DEM convention, there is still the investigation looming.
    On the GOP side, after Utah clobbering the Donald needs to sweep CA....that ain't gonna happen as its 54 discrete races. So then people say that with a plurality, the nod has to go to Trump. Well that assumes (1) all his pledged delegates are valid and (2) the valid ones cast a first BALLOT for him. You see, the GOP primary rules allow for challenging winner take all awards. Usually these are resolved by reapportionment. Then we have the final voting by the delegates....they really can do what they want as a state contingent and as individuals. Primary popular voting is not binding, and where it is binding for select States on 1st BALLOT...there areno penalties. The convention will look at Donald's negatives, his polling vs Hillbilly and he will be toast. GOP will go with the potential for riots now rather than the civil war if they let Trump hand the white house and Congress to the DEMs.

    lol, I'm a bit surprised reading all of the chest beating about polls concerning an election which is seven months away.
    Anyone else find this just a teeny weeny premature before placing your bets on the table?

    Here, try this one--> according to exit polls (FROM ACTUAL ELECTIONS, lol) , two thirds of ALL Republican voters from super Tuesday favor a ban on Muslim immigration.
    Once again Trump scored with the people on a "controversial" issue which he was brave enough to address ....and SMART ENOUGH to know.

    By the way, he was also right on target when he commented on Brussels BEFORE the horrible 3/22/16 attack.

    How many times does he have to say:
    "I haven't begun on Hillary yet".

    Sure, Hillary could clobber him in the general election (if Trump IS the GOP Nominee) .....but I also have a feeling Trump is quite capable of tearing her down in the months leading up to the election.


    Excuse me, sorry for the duplication....oops.

    But I hope it is read at least once.
    Thanks.

    If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, then this could easily become "War and Peace", or "The Brothers Karamazov"....

    and one for the bitch, who want's to be Queen, "Queen Bitch"....

    A MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN

    As you know, my dear people, the last year for me has been an annus horribilus. The Royal House of Clinton has been tormented by questions about our handling of finances and subjected to tiresome questions about the tragic events in Benghazi - in the furthest regions of our empire. And, sadly, also questions about my Royal e-mails.

    Nevertheless, I will not be daunted in my desire and commitment to serve you, the people. For the next seventeen months I will be traveling among you as one of you, to listen to your deepest longings and needs. I will be with you in your Wal-Marts and beside you in your Burger Kings. I will drive with you down the busy interstate highways of our land, sharing your poverty and needs.

    How well I remember the days when the Duke of Arkansas and I were impoverished. After we were expelled from our Washington Palace we hardly had two mansions to rub together. We were so poor that we removed thousands of dollars of china, flatware, carpets and gifts from the Washington Palace just to survive. Shockingly, unscrupulous and ungrateful officials later forced us to return many of these treasures. Now, happily, benefactors from around our empire have given me just enough for us to scrape by.

    During these difficult times, we had to cut back. When our daughter was married, we only had three million dollars to spend on her wedding. And, I remember our hopes, as she moved into her $10 million Manhattan apartment, that one day she would be able to move on from that humble abode to something more fitting. After working for MSNBC for a starting salary of a mere $600,000 per year, what else could she do? So I now pay her $3,000,000 a year to run the 'Foundation'.

    So, as I travel across our kingdom to meet you all, I will be listening and sharing with you. Then, when the time for the royal election (Coronation) comes, I know I can count on you to crown me as your rightful monarch, with my assurance that I will continue King Obama’s policies, and we can all live happily ever after.

    Your Queen-in-Waiting,
    Hilarity Rodham Clinton
