Didn't realize this was just a link posting forum. Getting too lazy to make a comment?

thank you, Mr. Rules....I now have the time to embellish a bit, but wanted everyone to read the story first. This little incident is pretty serious stuff, wouldn't you agree, Woody? I mean, were I to use the yardsticks of personal integrity you've held Obama et al to for years, Cruz should exit both the race and the Senate, immediately. The previous governor of VA went to jail for lesser amounts of unreported loans. Further, it shows the sort of 'outsider'Cruz really is. Goldman Sachs is about as 'inside' as it gets. Finally, it exposes Ted Cruz as the lying fraud a lot of folks have suspected he was all along.

Oh wow! So has Hillary shown where and who donated money to the Clinton crime family foundation and the favors she performed while sec of state for the donors ? Or how much money she is using from the foundation to finance her campaign? And what kind of favors she'll grant if elected.

Bernie would beat Trump by 20 percent. Easy.

And Carter was up 7 points over Reagan 2 weeks before their election. Dream on.

which proves what? I am not basing my opinion on current polls. Hell, if you wish to get to inaccurate predictions, Karl Rove had Romney winning 10 minutes before he conceded, publicly.

Sometime earlier, no one could imagine that the US President will be black. It is possible that the US President will suddenly Arab, at least on the basis of precedent.

violating Federal campaign law is 'mountains out of molehills'?? Really, you don't say?

not sure one normally gets 'arrested' so much as ordered to pay a hefty chunk of change.

Your opinions have proven to be based on thin air. Unless you actually have something salient to show us why Bernie beats The Donald?

oh, I made that clear, I thought, that was merely my gut. I'm sure polls will be taken.

well, darned if the poll didn't get done. WSJ/NBC, this morning. Not good news for Sanders in that they have him 25 percent behind Clinton nationally, but really clear that he'd beat Trump by nearly 20%, while Hillary would only win by 10%.
