    Not a good idea. Anyway, the US has been consistently ranking lower in favorability polls since the end of the Cold War. The love affair with Europe is over. W. Bush all but put the dagger to that. Obama's approach to war in the Middle East is continuing the trend. Trump will finally put the US right there with the Galactic Empire.

    This is gonna be quite an election for future historians to write about.

    I went by population, and I'm not doing every country. But here goes:

    Germany - genocidal maniacs
    UK - slave trading colonialists
    French - slave trading colonialists
    Canada - uneducated (judged by some of the Canadian CF members)
    Australia - nothing bad to say
    South Korea - nothing bad to say


    Do you have anything constructive to add?

    Oh come one, Australia is the easiest, it is a former prison colony with a history of slaughtering the indigenous population.

    how can other countries, especially 3rd world countries, not love US freaking A? We're the most illegal alien friendly country in the world.

    Why is the GOP establishment so afraid of the will of their own constituency?

    Rubio basically doesn't exist in Michigan and Mississippi.

    I thought there was a chance he might surge and give Trump a run for his money in Florida. Scratch that.

    IMO, it's 50/50 Rubio pulls out after tonight's train wreck. It can't be argued he would be "giving" Florida to Trump.

    Why couldn't he scratch in Mississippi? Guess there's a world of demographic difference btwn Miss. & Florida. Kasich ahead of Rubio in Miss. says it all really.

    So Trump has this wrapped up correct? What a weird unpredictable world we all live in sometimes.
