Hell... The elections truly are unpredictable. And to think I thought Rubio was going to be the next POTUS...

This leaves only Trump and Kasich as relatively-strong republican candidates, though Trump is FAR ahead of Kasich. Indeed, it seems Trump can't be stopped now.

Thoughts?

I won't support either, though Trump is preferable to Clinton. He wouldn't be able to do crunk, and has less blood on his hands.

Austin Petersen , 2016 with Adam Kokesh 2020 is the best course for this country and then the world.

For different reasons, but I'm 100% with you here.

You want BRICS world domination or some other nonsense. Right?

Vote Trump make America a third world country again!

Only Sanders or Stein could do that to us that quickly. If by miracle that commie gets elected, anyone want to help me smuggle powdered milk?

I doubt sanders would be as much as a problem. His "socialism" is overated; it's not like he's gonna stalin the fuck out of america.

Well yeah he's not going to be that bad, but the economy is going down anyways, so anyone wanna help me smuggle food in?

Suuuure, 'powder milk', lulz

If that was the case, I'd be screaming Bernie all over.

Who would have thought the Republican race would be decided before the Democrats! So much for a contested convention!

Bernie needs to leave, he should have been gone more than a month ago. He is harming his party's frontrunner.

I would put chances of winning at Clinton 75% Trump 25%, mainly because the Democrats have a higher support floor and the female vote would side massively with Clinton. Will be interesting to watch.

I don't really like either, but Trump will have to be my vote.

I've found Trump's campaign to be an interesting. He's, well different. He's never been a politician, he makes sure his words are heard. No other candidate has had this much media coverage in the race. He's promising change, and as he says, "Hyuge Change". He acknowledges that the US is not what it was, and lots of people like that. And for someone like that, he's doing a damn good job.

Do I think Trump would make a good president? eh.... but Hillary is pretty much the crooked politician that Trump says are the problem in the US. And he's kind of right.

Thanks for your words of support, but we only take in countries who can agree less than 5% growth is too little, and most importantly, sovereign states. ^_^

Also, Briscs would sound better.

Well we can leech their oil and kick them out anytime.

GDP Growth Rate
Brazil: -3% GDP growth in 2015
Russia: -3.9% GDP growth in 2015
India: 7.3% GDP growth in 2015
China: 6.9% GDP growth in 2015
South Africa: 1.4% GDP growth in 2015

GDP/Cap Growth over 5 years
Brazil: 8.63% (#43)
Russia: 4.53% (#52)
India: 31.12% (#6)
China: 49.13% (#1)
South Africa: 2.76% (#60)

3/5 of these countries don't even meet the 2% "you didn't fuck up this year congratulations" GDP growth baseline for developed countries. Two of them had their economies shrink. Their GDP growth is not that great, some of them have mediocre/bad investment situations.

BRICS is just a media/geopolitics hack buzzword that's not really useful anymore. It's really just IC + some of the Next Eleven.

Just for a brief moment, we're fixing that.
