It could be as Catholics may see the present regime as harmful, with jobs being outsourced to India, with American factories closing down, with children being killed in one war after another, with partial birth abortions, with Hillary demanding that religious beliefs be changed, etc.

On top of all that, I have concluded that no politician have the common good at heart. Politics are the use of others in the pursuit of self-interest.
 
Here’s something interesting in the Guardian:
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has said he would consider stopping US oil purchases from Saudi Arabia and other Arab allies unless the Saudi government provide troops to fight Islamic State.

Trump made the comments in a lengthy foreign policy interview published by the New York Times on Saturday in response to a question about whether, if elected president, he would halt oil purchases from US allies unless they provided on-the-ground forces against Islamic State.

Considering that we import over 30% of our oil from Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf Arab countries, I wonder where Donald thinks were’re going to get the oil to replace what we get from those countries? Or does he think that Americans will volunteer to drive less?

Trump is buddies with David Pecker, the CEO of the Enquirer. Coincidentally, the Enquirer has run nothing but positive stories about Trump and trashed all his opponents.

from Slate:

Does that mean that you would be just as happy as you are now if the Democrat Party was the one falling apart?

National Enquirer has always and will continue to dig dirt on presidential candidates. It’s a very odd thing for Cruz to come out all guns ablazing attacking Trump instead of defending his innocence. Cruz’s MO is to attack trump in all things. This will backfire.

How is it cruz has nothing to do with a super pac supporting him and trump is responsible for a magazine because he’s friends with the editor/whoever? The hypocrisy is glaring.

Trump has never attacked people as disloyal. In fact it’s the other way around. The establishment criticizes anyone who supports trump as disloyal to the party. That rhetoric has been heard over and over again. So I’m not sure what chord you are trying to strike but it’s not working.

Who dared to attack the frontrunner?

How about everybody? That’s the answer all right and despite that trump is winning. Yeah!
 
Fox News:
Trump threatens lawsuit over lost Louisiana delegates
Click to expand...
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump threatened Sunday to sue Ted Cruz over potentially claiming more Louisiana delegates in a state he technically won. “Just to show you how unfair Republican primary politics can be, I won the State of Louisiana and get less delegates than Cruz-Lawsuit coming,” Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon.
Just to show you how unfair Republican primary politics can be, I won the State of Louisiana and get less delegates than Cruz-Lawsuit coming
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 27, 2016In the Louisiana primary March 5, Trump won with more votes compared to Cruz. Trump won the popular vote, 124,818 votes to 113,949 for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio tallied 33,805 votes — having since dropped out of the race — and Ohio Gov. John Kasich had 19,355.
Click to expand...
Originally, Trump and Cruz each got 18 delegates, with five going to Rubio.
But as the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week, Cruz may wind up with as many as 10 more delegates from the state than the Trump due to out-organizing Trump in the state in the wake of the primary, when the identity of delegates remains to be determined.

I don’t think the lawsuit will go anywhere. Parties are pretty much free to set the (often arcane) rules for their primaries.

This does show one of Trump’s disadvantages, he is just a cult of personality, he has no organization backing him up.

It’s always a bit painful listening to a Trump propagandist – even *more *so IMO if he/she is a professional. I wish I knew how many letters FoxNews has received asking them not to put Eric Bolling on the air anymore.

But I have no problem with Trump doing the lawsuit. (I wonder if he’ll also sue South Carolina for giving 100% of their delegates to a candidate who received 32.5% of the vote?)
