I'm quite sure that anyone scared by that statement is already mentally irregular, uninformed, liberal and voting democrat government teet already.

Apologizing to Americans? Sure. Obama definitely needs to do that.

Apologizing to other countries that do far, far worse things? No.

That's a childish approach. "I'm not apologizing because they do bad things too!"

Um, no. Apparently reading comprehension isn't your friend. Especially from earlier.

Obama has nothing to apologize for except for apologizing to us.

Guess what? America isn't a bad country, I know that very, very hard for you to believe.

Then we should have no problem apologizing for atrocities that we commit if we aren't a bad country

Looks like Trump will win NV and SC handily unless some of the other candidates can take a hint.

It doesn't matter. As long as the field thins pretty soon you'll end up with one establishment candidate and then Trump will be in the 'L' column the rest of the way. The establishment vote accounts for 50-60% of the vote in the crucial states.

Relatively speaking, you are correct, but that has nothing to do with whether or not we should apologize/own our mistakes. That's part of being a good country. It's manning up.

PPP put out a poll showing Trumps lead growing if other candidates drop out.

How long can a country wait before an apology becomes meaningless though? I mean if we're talking about things that happened several centuries ago then, chances are, you have more relations out of the US than native or resident Americans.

I mean you're saying a good country should apologize for its mistakes. But is a country a person? Who is actually doing the apologizing? Likely someone who had nothing to do with what the country will apologize for, and whose ancestors were, at most, on the periphery of the events for which he/she is apologizing. People make mistakes, not countries. A percentage of German people made a mistake in allowing Hitler's rise to power but should their completely innocent ancestors apologize for something they had nothing to do with?

POTUS is in charge of international relations, so he, or someone on his behalf would be the one to do the apologizing. Regardless of whether or not you are the offending party, you can still feel sorry for the actions of your fellow Americans. An apology is an indication that you won't do it again, and for nations to get along, that's an important element of the relationship. Should we apologize to Mexico for something from the 19th century? I don't care. Should we apologize for the bombing of the Doctors Without Borders facility? Of course.

Cruz has been sleezy and Jeb sucks. He hasn't attacked Rubio, Cruz or Kaisch. So which of those two do you support?

Its his tone and how he consistently is very nasty, its has wore on me and I'm tired of it. I am still deciding between Rubio and Cruz. He was far left on basically every issue up til 2 years ago. He will not have my vote if he is the nominee
