The last polling I saw had foreign leaders expressing concern over a potential Trump presidency.

He'd make Obama looked well-versed in foreign affairs.

Good. Why do you think they'd be concerned? They want another softie like obambi in office that they can run all over.

Because he's the verbal American version of Kim Jong-Un. His mouth is a loose cannon and you don't know what's real. You can call Rosie O'Donnell a fat pig or Ted Cruz a liar or make sweat jokes about Rubio but, in foreign affairs, you have to have a more steady hand. We have freedoms that most of those countries don't. Insults are more personal. They close doors. It causes problems.

I made fun of Obama for giving the Queen of England an ipod. It was so un-Presidential. I think Trump will make Obama look mature and stately.

Close doors? Iran insults us and get a nuclear deal + $150 billion. Russia insults us and gets Crimea and a stronger position as a world power. North Korea is flat out racist towards obama and they make deals all the time with china and other countries. The list goes on. Our own president insults Putin, Netanyahu, Sarkozy, and that list goes on. Insults happen all the time, and deals still get made in spite of them. It sounds to me like you are more concerned about image. I don't care about image as much as you do, I care about respect.... The last president has tried to please everyone and ended up pleasing no one,... That's his mistake.

I don't care about image. I just don't think you understand that making bold declarations isn't a good negotiating tool. Sure, it's nice to hear when voting for someone but it isn't going to get China to make better deals with the US. I think it's quite the opposite. If Trump wants to be an isolationist, inflation will get out of control.

It's a moot point since Trump isn't getting the nomination, but the things he's advocating won't cause inflation. They might slow the economy down (which is worse than inflation) but not cause inflation. Most countries need us more than we need them.

Donald Trump leads a bunched field of challengers by double digits in Illinois, according to a Chicago Tribune poll released Tuesday.

Trump registered 32% support among Illinois Republicans in the Tribune poll, with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in second place with 22%, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 21% and Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 18%.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump leads rival Marco Rubio in the senator's home state of Florida by 20 points, according to a News 13/Bay News 9 poll released Tuesday.

Mitt Romney's speech condemning Donald Trump did little to bring down the controversial Republican presidential front-runner, according to a poll released Tuesday.

Thirty-one percent of Republican voters surveyed by Morning Consult said they are now more likely to vote for Trump, while 20 percent said they are less likely to vote for the real estate mogul. Forty-three percent said Romney's comments had no impact.
Among Trump supporters, 56 percent said they are more likely to vote for Trump after he was denounced by Romney, while 5 percent said they are less likely to vote for Trump. Thirty-six percent said their opinions were not changed.

moy, you don't get it. It really doesn't matter what the polls say regarding individual races. Unless Trump has 1237 delegates going into the convention, he isn't getting the nomination (even if he has the most delegates). And his path to 1237 is a tough one.

I do get it. It's Trump or the death of the Republican Party. That's a win-win.

For example, for Trump to stay on target for the nomination, he needs 59 of the 150 delegates up for grabs today. He needs 272 of the 367 next Tuesday.

This is so interesting and a win/win for liberals.

You think that if Cruz (or Rubio) ends up as the nominee the party dies but it doesn't die if Trump is the nominee?

I'd say "If it's Trump, it's the death of the Republican party. Win/win for the Dems."
