Noticed just a few minutes ago in the Globe and Mail that Sarah Palin has endorsed Donald Trump for president. Tweedledum is supporting Tweedledee. Or is is Tweedledee supporting Tweedledum? Whichever - this would be a great comedy movie, except that it's at least possible that Trump could end up with his finger on the nuclear button.

Well the bible (God) says that man must die ... a self-induced thought, or is that an emotional disorder? Do thoughts dissociate desires?

Hm... has the Donald announced who his running mate would be yet? Could we see a Trump/Palin ticket? Somebody shoot me now :D
 
Then we get Potash shutting down in NB to simulate the turn up Prin. or bleeding the people until the whole thing goes booty up ... some say belly up as they don't like to expose the booty being plundered as others readily do here ... and else where ...
 
The NB mines were the least productive mines they had. In Alberta, we get mines shut down by people who don't like mining all the time. Productive mines. Now they want to make sure we cannot export anything. Here comes $.50 Cdn dollar. Americans already giving Trudeau the brush off, politics not really a beauty contest. Here comes $.40 Cdn dollar.

I'd still buy Potash corp stock in spring. Crops will still have real value no matter where the dollar goes.

(all that stuff is happening independently of our tiny teeny AB...look at the world, at its marvels and amazements, and there are still dragons there -- and not just 'leftists' using their feelings to get things done, but also oligarchal families who have the insane idea of taking what they can from what they see as a dying world...)

btw, can one use potash on their food?
 
Then there was the old concept of Asher ... perhaps not a place but a charcoal burner for toasting humanoids?

Is it as cheap to transport mid Canadian potash overseas as it is from near the sea? Oh the complexity of it all ... especially when confused by powerful NB families of wealth ... then could be burnt by flat land invasion of what the possess ... most of the province ...

Can you imagine from what side of the argument people will bias themselves?

I believe the USA process is that first tou get theparty nomination. Then a running mate is announced

Can you imagine Trump /Palin

Just spent weekend in USA. The reoublican voters i spoke to are reassured that while Trump continues to hold is 35% or so, as candidates drop out he doesn't go up in numbers. They hope that means he is at the top of his popularity and that he wont win

Of the democrats i spoke to no one liked Clinton which was interesting. Granted it was a business trip so not a wide range of views

The comedians will have a hey day. But they will have to be careful not to help them out! That does seem to be the way it's going...Trump gets made fun of, he gets more popular. Palin would probably like to ride that wave, because mockery didn't help her last time...and she knows she'll be mocked again. It's rather insane politics...like, it just keeps getting worse every election.

Not sure where your Republican voters are getting their information, but although there's neen a bit of up and down, generally speaking Trump's poll numbers have been on a significant upward trajectory.

According to realclearpolitics.com, Trump's polling numbers have been as follows:

End of July - 20.8%
End of August - 25.7%
End of September - 23.3%
End of October - 27.0%
End of November - 28.7%
End of December - 35.6%
As of January 19 - 34.8%

So, yes, he's at 35% right now, but there's been a definite upward move.

Also, national polls are largely meaningless at this point. What counts is what's happening on a state by state basis, especially in the early primary and caucus states. Trump and Cruz are in quite a battle in Iowa, where the first votes are counted. Winning early caucuses and primaries leads to momentum. There's also the issue of money. If Trump wins early caucuses and primaries, money could start to dry up for the other candidates. If Trump doesn't win them, he doesn't have to worry about money drying up. He's got quite a number of advantages over his oppnents. It remains to be seen whether Palin's endorsement will help him or hurt him.
 
Well, Bush is out (and hilariously, he seemed almost reasonable among this crowd of looney tunes), and I think there's going to be significant questions about Cruz's eligibility, so I'm guessing that Trump is the best the GOP think they can do, so all hail Hilary, as far as I can see. I'd make that as a prediction right now, I think.

You know, just on the subject of Cruz's eligibility, sometime, somewhere along the way, shouldn't the Supreme Court of the United States be asked for a ruling (outside of the election cycle, so that American's won't end up electing somebody and then have the election results tied up in endless litigation) on what the Constitution means by a "natural born citizen."

Is it "a person born in the United States," or is it "a person who is an American citizen at birth." That seems like a pretty clear cut question. Why start arguing about it now? Why didn't someone just ask the SCOTUS for a ruling two years ago?
 
I see no hope in any of the candidates. Congress. and most of the candidates have long since been bought. And Hillary is one of the most prominent in that category. I have the most sympathy with Sanders. But what he proposes is far too little and far too late. In any case, a bought congress would leave him powerless.
 
I tend to agree with Graham. Still interesting to see how all this plays out, though. New polls have Sanders increasing his lead over Hilary in both Iowa and New Hampshire. She seems to be in trouble. Is history repeating itself? Remember in 2008 she was the consensus front runner until the actual voting started, when Obama surged ahead of her. If Hilary loses the first two contests I'm wondering if there will be increasing pressure from the Democratic Party on VP Joe Biden to reverse his decision and jump in, because Sanders might not be seen as electable.
