Title: The Art of National Suicide
Post by: nddons on March 29, 2016, 10:16:24 AM
Good article by Victor Davis Hansen:

"As far as America is concerned, a fossilized EU should remind us of our original and vanishing system of federalism, in which states were once given some constitutional room to craft laws and protocols to reflect regional needs — and to ensure regional and democratic input with checks and balances on statism through their representatives in Congress. Yet the ever-growing federal government — with its increasingly anti-democratic, politically correct, and mostly unaccountable bureaucracies — threatens to do to Americans exactly what the EU has done to Europeans. We already see how the capricious erosion of federal immigration law has brought chaos to the borderlands of the American Southwest. It is a scary thing for a federal power arbitrarily to render its own inviolable laws null and void — and then watch the concrete consequences of such lawlessness fall on others, who have been deprived of recourse to constitutional protections of their own existential interests."

Title: Election Update from Wisconsin
Post by: nddons on March 29, 2016, 04:54:22 PM
My wife went to a Cruz-Fiorina rally today in Brookfield, and said it was extremely uplifting and hopeful for the future.

Yesterday Trump had a couple of rough interviews with talk radio hosts from two different stations:  Charlie Sikes from WTMJ in Milwaukee, and Vicki McKenna from WISN, also in Milwaukee. He hung up on Vicki.

Today Scott Walker endorsed Ted Cruz.

And this afternoon Donald Trump commenced to rip Scott Walker big time at his rally in Janesville. That's quite a way to get votes from Wisconsin Republicans, but what do I know?  What a petulant little fucking child. Has anyone in this world ever told him "no"?

"Election analysts prefer close elections, but there was nothing we could do to make this one close. Clinton’s total is 347 electoral votes, which includes 190 safe, 57 likely, and 100 that lean in her direction. Trump has a total of 191 (142 safe, 48 likely, and 1 leans)."
