Can I make an unwelcome point

Donald Trump Sat, 01/09/2016 - 21:58

On a serious note.

This is the most anti-establishment election cycle in memory, in most of our lives. The voters are enraged, enthralled with outsider candidates. Old Bernie Sanders with his wild hair and self professed socialism is ready to thrash Hillary if he had any energy or desire to win and despite the media parade of Hillary inevitability.

Shift­ing demo­graph­ics na­tion­wide are chan­ging the face of Amer­ic­an em­ploy­ment. Im­mig­rants make up 13 per­cent of the pop­u­la­tion and 17 per­cent of the work­force, but their em­ploy­ment pat­terns con­trast with those of their U.S.-born coun­ter­parts across in­dus­tries and states.

Sam, you are correct in your use of the word analogy. However, it is definitely not

I was able to catch Rand Paul on The Morning Joe last night (from yesterday morning) - http://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/paul--rubio-supporters-back-nsa-r... - here at AC2P and what I took from it was that Rand is not going to back down, period. At the end of the interview Rand ever so eloquently yet firmly stated, that he would not be [pushed around] by any media outlet or told that his campaign is second-tier…
