Australian Politics Forum - Trump still the front runner

The word should implies more than just a choice on face value. If American, would I vote against the other candidates? Not unless Trump can transform his glib comments into a coherent policy.

A prominent civil rights activist has publicly endorsed Donald Trump, praising the presidential candidate for what he believes to be his business acumen.

Charles Evers, 93, said he believed in the Republican frontrunner 'first of all because he's a businessman' and that 'jobs are badly needed in Mississippi', reported Clarion Ledger.

Evans is the brother of slain civil rights reader Medgar Evans and was the first black mayor to be elected in Mississippi back in 1969.

Well let's face it, the Dude is OLD... and doesn't have a clue about anything beyond his own lil ol Mississip

You're no spring chicken yourself, and not exactly worldly and/or wise.

He might have, but it's interesting to note this was around the time they tried to tie him to the KKK - this guy has been a "civil rights activist" since the 60's and his brother was murdered by the KKK.

We'll see how Marco Rubio measures up next week.
1. He is quoted as saying whoever wins Florida will be the nominee
2. He is also quoted as saying he will support whoever the nominee is

So when he loses next week in his home state and Trump wins, as seems most likely, will he a) drop out of the race and b) announce he is supporting Trump for the nomination?

I suspect he will do neither.

Amending this. I think Rubio is already signalling he expects to drop out by suggesting his people support Kasich in Ohio.
If that's taken as a signal by his people, I suggest it could mean an even bigger win for Trump in Florida.

However, even if he loses in Florida, even if he drops out, I don't expect him to endorse Trump which is a direct contradiction of what he has said.
If you have made a promise to support someone in certain circumstances, how can that mean anything other than you endorse them.

I'd agree for the greater part.

That may give you a clue to where it might come from, MSNBC is the left wing of the leftist MSM, but I'll leave that for the dEMONRAT 'Conspiracy Theorists' who have plenty of time on their hands for muckraking.

Correct.

Sooner or later the divisions turn into rivalries rather than culturally-enriching ghettoes.

Im listening to a stream on msnbc - they're running with it being trumps fault for a) holding a rally in a city where the majority of people don't want to attend(?) and b) not allowing the protesters free reign to disrupt as they please.

edit: Anchor (dont know her name) has now openly and unambiguously accused trump of deliberately orchestrating this.
