It began as whispers in hushed corners: Could it ever happen? And now, just three months from the Iowa caucuses, members of the Republican establishment are starting to give voice to an increasingly common belief that Donald Trump, once dismissed as joke, a carnival barker, and a circus freak, might very well win the nomination. “Trump is a serious player for the nomination at this time,” says Ed Rollins, who served as the national campaign director for Reagan’s 1984 reelection and as campaign chairman for Mike Huckabee in 2008. Rollins is not alone in his views. “Trump has sustained a lead for longer than there are days left” before voting begins in Iowa, says Steve Schmidt, who managed John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign. “For a long time,” Schmidt says, “you were talking to people in Washington, and there was a belief that there was an expiration date to this, as if there’s some secret group of people who have the ability to control the process.” But for Trump, a dip in the polls after the second debate that many predicted was the beginning of the end has arrested; and for nearly four months, he has remained at the top of the polls. Now, long-time GOP strategists who were expecting Trump’s act to wear thin a couple of months ago worry that he can’t be stopped, or at least that he has a significant chance of winning the nomination. For months, the establishment has been engaged in an all out war on Donald Trump, first treating his candidacy as a joke and then moving actively to discredit it. Meanwhile, favored sons have fallen by the wayside. Scott Walker and Rick Perry, both very accomplished governors, bowed out early, and the conventional favorites, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, trail Trump by double digits. As time marches on, it seems like reality is setting in, and Trump may have the nomination locked up. For years, the grassroots suggested that if the GOP didn't give them a proper candidate, they would find their own. It appears that time has come. - See more at: http://americanactionnews.com/articles/this-news-could-mean-trump-has-the-nomination-locked-up#sthash.9Llrl4xW.dpuf

Nice! thanks.

"Bart to the Future" is the seventeenth episode of the eleventh season of the American animated television sitcom The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on March 19, 2000Plot[edit] The Simpsons drive to the park for a picnic but discover that it has been overrun by mosquitoes. While heading home, the family finds an Indian casino. Homer and Bart go inside, leaving Marge (who is still recovering from her gambling addiction from "$pringfield") and Lisa (who is on the fence about her stance on the morals and ethics of Indian gambling) in the car. Bart is turned away because of his age but is able to sneak in by hiding in ventriloquist Arthur Crandall's dummy case. During Crandall's performance at the casino, Bart bursts out of the case and gets caught by casino guards. He is sent to the casino manager's office, where the Native American manager shows him a vision of how his future will turn out if he does not change his ways. Thirty years into the future, Bart is a 40-year-old beer-drinking slacker trying to launch his music career after dropping out of the DeVry Institute. The only gig Bart can get is at a beach bar owned by Nelson Muntz, and even then, Bart is only paid in popcorn shrimp. He survives by mooching off his parents and their neighbor Ned Flanders. Bart lives with Ralph Wiggum in a beach cottage by the shore, from which Bart finds out that he has been evicted after his disastrous concert at Nelson's bar. Meanwhile, 38-year-old Lisa is the first straight female President of the United States, trying to rebuild the country after President Donald Trump's disastrous term. Bart disrupts one of Lisa's addresses to the nation to promote his music career, which leads Lisa to be branded unpopular when Bart sings to the public on live television that Lisa will be imposing a tax to get the country out of debt. Lisa later meets with the leaders of America's creditor nations, who demand that America pay them back. Bart steps in and uses his skills at stalling debt collectors to save the day, pleasing Lisa who had previously been mad at her brother. As a thank-you, Bart asks Lisa to "legalize it", and Lisa says she will. Meanwhile, Homer has heard about gold buried by Abraham Lincoln on the grounds of the White House and searches for it. When he finally locates the "gold", it is in fact a chest with a scroll in it that Lincoln had written on explaining that his "gold" is "in the heart of every freedom-loving American." Homer does not appreciate the metaphor and angrily curses Lincoln. After the vision is over, Bart promises that he will change. Lisa finds Bart and tells him that the family has been kicked out of the casino after Homer pushed a waitress and Marge lost US$20,000. Bart tells Lisa about his vision of the future where he has a rock band and a moped, while downplaying Lisa's future presidency as "some government job." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_to_the_Future "If ignorance is truly bliss, then why do so many Americans need Prozac?" - Dave McGowan

I didn't realize that Trump was drawing crowds that size! As an aside, I saw a truck today with a Ben Carson 2016 bumper sticker on it.
Amen. EVERY venue that Trump goes to has over-flow crowds. WE are PISSED and Trump seems to have some real solutions for US. “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.

Trump is drawing enormous crowds of mainly pissed off White folks who are sick of illegal immigration & lousy trade deals. This is bigger than Perot in '92 and frankly nothing I've seen on the political right in my lifetime. Trump, perhaps inadvertently, and on the issues of illegals & trade alone, is in front of a growing movement that eclipses politics. I'm thoroughly enjoying his performance.
