    The only fail is your ability to grasp satire.

    You don't even know what satire is. Where was the humor, mockery, caricatures, ridicule, etc...???

    It's a shame you won't use critical thinking because in this case you agree with it. Doing bad things for good. Hey sounds like Trump, maybe you should reconsider your support. Apparently your way of thinking is in line with Trumps!!!

    Actually that WAS satire, they took the stupid things Donald Trump has said and made funny and fictitious headlines based on them.

    Since it's clear you fail at satire, how are you with Sarte?

    Let me guess this straight...Trump is allowed to spew hate against Hispanics, Muslims, women, military veterans and god knows how many other groups, but we are the haters? He can advocate killing family members of different groups, but one is not allowed to criticize him on a basketball forum. Umm...okay.

    How can I debate and discuss with you all when you can't even read and comprehend? I never said we couldn't criticize trump. Not even close to the point of my post. Eh.. what's the point, waste of time. You all are just as blind as trump voters it's absolutely hilarious. Ridiculous when you consider you all don't even realize it. Remove the positions but analyze the behaviors, there is no difference.

    Ah - Chaucer himself would be laughing at this. Classic man. So Classic. This might go down as one of the all-time great D&D statements to be ridiculed. If only more people could read it.

    Went to check the date of that post (assuming it was posted in 2009 or 2010) and saw that it was posted today. Lmaooooooo. I'm pretty sure he was trying to be funny. There's no way anyone believes that.

    Jordan Spieth led The Masters golf tournament this weekend from wire to wire, for 65 consecutive holes, most of the time by what appeared to be a pretty safe margin. On the 66th hole, he made a quadruple bogey on a par 3 and fell behind, never to recover. Here is a link to the story from ESPN:

    Jordan Spieth's collapse at the Masters the most shocking in golf history

    According to the rules of professional golf, the winner of the tournament is the player with the lowest score at the end of 72 holes (4 rounds over 4 days of 18 holes each). As result, the winner of this year's masters was Danny Willett and not Jordan Spieth, even though Spieth led the contest comfortably until pretty close to the end.

    No doubt if Mr. Trump had suffered Jordan Spieth's fate in The Masters (which he increasingly does appear to be poised to replicate in the Republican nominating contest), both Trump and his supporters would be today sniveling like spoiled children, crying "not fair" and the like, and there would be somewhat of a controversy today, not so much about the outcome of the tournament, but about Trump and his supporters remarkably selfish and immature reaction to it.

    I thought Trump was going to hire the best people and have the best words? If so, why are Ted Cruz's people making Trump's people look like amateurs and why are Trump's words failing to sway anyone other than fellow douchebags?

    Globe's front page was funny, but yes I do think somewhat less of them for having done it. It's a tough business to be in nowadays though and it's hard to stand out and hit your revenue targets. With the Washington Post kicking everybody's butt on the search engine optimization, you gotta do something.

    But seriously, I don't see this as some kind of journalistic transgression. The transgressions happened when news channels like Fox News and MSNBC presented ideologically-colored news shows. This is just the editorial department -- which has long existed in newspapers -- capturing real estate on the front page for a day. This isn't ideologically-slanted reporting; it is straightforward opinion. They aren't tricking anyone. They are saying the same thing they would have said in an editorial, but they did it in a bigger and funnier way. They still have their journalistic integrity.

    Cruz is making the move so we all (including the Trump campaign) needs to be watching out. Nothing they can do bro, this was the prophecy.

    It's funny when the self-proclaimed master negotiator can not even negotiate with his own party's delegates and now he is crying no fair. :grin:

    How in the heck is he going to deal with China, Russia ... ?

    Mr. incompetent, Donald Trump, AWOL again, in Arkansas this time. Once again, Trump has nobody but himself to blame, as the selection of the actual people to be delegates is different from the voters support for the candidates.

    Of course Trump will receive the support of the 25 delegates he won on the first ballot, but after that, these delegates will apparently support Ted Cruz. If Trump fails to wrap this up on the first ballot, he has no chance. He is finished.

    Once again, Trump and his campaign failed to participate in the process here. This was not too hard for the other candidates who competed in Arkansas, just for Donald Trump. Of course this is a pattern and practice of incompetence that is forming here that should be a campaign issue in its own right.

    If this is how Donald Trump runs his campaign, how in the world is he going to run our country any better?

    I don't think you understand the complaints. Most people are not against the delegate voting system at the convention, it is what it is. The problem is with how the delegates are selected.

    Cruz doesn't have a "better ground game" like the media would like you to believe, what he does have is the establishment's blessing in their quest for #Nevertrump. What is happening now is Trump delegates are being systematically denied spots while everyone else is given spots. Cruz is in no way responsible for this, the already established republicans in charge of each congressional districts have sole control of the delegate selection process, and they have been in place long before Trump or Cruz came along. As of right now, establishment's goal of denying the popular vote has been painfully clear...
