The ***** of it is, the costitutuion says whatever people want it to say. What has been generally agreed upon is rarely ever going to change.

I agree with you. Also, politicians want to use it only when it benefits them but they can twist how they want.

Kasich and Sanders secured a crucial endorsement today.

Bernie Sanders Endorsed by Deez Nuts

On Facebook, presidential candidate Deez Nuts (a.k.a. 15-year-old Brady Olson) endorsed Democrat Bernie Sanders and Republican John Kasich for their parties’ respective nominations. “This is not for the general election,” he clarified. “I endorse myself for the GE.”

Ben Carson on CNN says he is in favor of using drones along Mexico border to take out the caves that are being used by the immigrants.

I assume he is referring to the tunnels.

Bad news for the other candidates...

The Kentucky GOP has some good news for Rand Paul | Rare

Edit: in case you don't feel like reading, Rand can run for senate simultaneously.

How is this bad news?

He is planning to run for senate with or without this caucus. He is having to transfer $250,000 to KY GOP by a certain date or the deal is off.

His plans if this were to fail is to run for POTUS in 49 states and for the senate in KY, per the link.

Because losing his senate seat is less of a threat now. Obviously it's something he wants and needs...

What are you having trouble with?

Exactly what I stated in my post. This is nothing but a fluff piece and many of the comparisons do not make sense. For example...
You hated how Obama rode the wave of constant attention from the mainstream media into office, and how they played along with his game, draining the life out of every other candidate by describing him as an inevitable juggernaut, an unstoppable political force, and a game-changer who was tapping into something deep and powerful in American political life.

Obama was treated with nothing but kindness and favor by the media... he was their "darling" candidate. Trump's treatment by the media has been just the opposite. Nearly all the media coverage I have seen on Trump, including this morning, is that he is not even considered a serious candidate... that he won't get the GOP nod... and that they are still not taking him seriously.

Do you really believe the media is treating Trump and Obama the same?

Early on in Obama's 2008 campaign, they said the same things. It was only once the primaries actually got under way that the media changed songs. I remember because a friend of mine was part of his campaign, and was pissed at the coverage at this point in the election.

Early on in Obama's campaign he was somewhat of an unknown candidate compared to only one other serious candidate (HRC) for the Dem nod. Trump is the clear leader, based on polls, by a fairly significant margin over 15+ other candidates. Let's compare apples to apples. Once Obama was even close to HRC in the polls he got all the positive press he wanted and more. Certainly much more than Bernie is currently receiving.

So your problem with the article has nothing to do with what they say about Trump, just with how the media is treating Trump...

OK
