I just heard that Kasich will be dropping out today. They're saying he was just staying in to get Cruz out. I don't know what I think about that.

I think we will, finally, have decent voter turnout. Passions are inflamed right now.

If there's any positives to be gained from this year's elections it's that voter turnouts are higher and therefore more representational than they have been in recent years.

Where is the money going to come from to pay for all of these "essential" health services? Don't forget that all of the illegal aliens will be getting benefits as well. All of the takers are not contributing to the system. So how is it going to be paid for???????? I keep asking this and no one says anything. Nothing is for free.

Healthy people contribute to the economy. The money will come from increased taxable income, and from the money we currently pay to insurance companies. Our system is the worst possible way to do it, and the most expensive. Just like riding the bus is cheaper than having to buy a car and car insurance.

It's just a case of "politics as usual".

I swear, candidates should not be allowed to campaign beyond submitting their CV's and being individually interviewed/interrogated by the justices of the Supreme Court on live TV.

You know, it never even occurred to me that one would 'turn in' someone. Perhaps if someone threatened you, it might make sense. I believe it says more about you that you would not only turn people in but be proud of it than anything else. You remind me of my mother who used to make everyone's life miserable and believed in things like the Trilateral Commission. I wouldn't use this forum to discuss this, but you also don't like to get PM's either. You must be rather unhappy with life. You certainly sound unhappy. That's a shame, as there are more good people here than bad, probably by a lot...

And you remind me of my father. :roll:

Oh, I'm actually quite happy too - after what happened last night.

I'm nothing like your father. I would have straightened you out about many things you falsely believe. As for last night, you would be...

What is going to have to happen is the people that have good healthcare now will have to give that up to have mediocre healthcare along with everyone else just so everyone can have healthcare. Less than 50% of the population works and puts into the system. I need to look it up, but my Ma said that Russia is trying to get away from the socialist way because it isn't working. Socialism never works in the end.

You just made me laugh. Anyway, you should be glad that I'm not your mother, otherwise, you would have been over my knee a long time ago......

Does anyone remember the movie, A face in the Crowd.
It was a political movie staring Andy Griffith?
It was an older black and white movie, about the TV face and behind the scenes truth of a political candidate. It seems to me that each 4 year seems to have repeated scenes. Though this last year has held lots of surprises.

Dear Nursy, no one needs billions. If they contributed proportionately to the economy there would be no shortage of funds to assist the less fortunate. The only reason socialism doesn't usually work properly is that the leaders want more that their share of the cake and feel a sense of entitlement. A mixed system works best I think. Both systems (capitalism and socialism) have been abused.

You sound like fun to know. We could debate over a cup of good coffee!

What is a mixed system?

Trump better watch out - they'll put him in a Mexican prison! Or hand him over to the Mexican drug cartels and we'll find his head on a stick at the Mexican border!
