Another ignorant idiot pops up. The only racist is the La Raza affiliated judge!
I agree - good riddance.
However, you can take your pathetic tag line and shove it.
The establishment looks like little baby babies... We took Romney when he was pitlr last choice.
Yes, guess herpes sufferers are likely offended by comparison to Lyn’ Ted. My apologies as that as never my intention.
Real Clear Politics has trump at over 1400 delegates even without all of California’s being counted....Trump could end up at 1500
Me! Look at Me!

What’s the difference between herpes, Cruz’s lust for the White House and love?
Love doesn’t last forever.

Would love his take on the wise latina’s claim her ethnicity will let her make a better decision than a white male.
Trump is really exposing the traitors!
I’m all in favor of disaffected RINOs leaving the party in a snit. About anything that erodes their numbers in the party is good for both it and the nation as a whole.
