And only one mention of Trump in the last page and a half.

See what happens if the random P&R thread is absent for a day?
Floppy, stop rising to Alti's bait.
There's a connection here that you're clearly missing between Altima and Trump. If people would just address the issues instead of talking about the person constantly, we wouldn't have nearly as many problems. You can't blame Altima exclusively when 90% of the people who argue with him have no self-control. It's like the people who wish the Kardashians would just go away, but they click on the articles about them and complain in the message boards, apparently oblivious to the fact that it just perpetuates their news coverage.
If it's 30 posts a page and one poster owns 50-70% of the posts, most of which are one liners and insults you really need to reassess what you're defending and what you're calling self control.
Now if we're talking self control in not taking bait yes, many of us myself included need to ignore it.
If we're talking about ***posting spam antics he's entirely responsible since no one is making him behave that way.
We can only control how we ourselves react not how others act.
2) Trump's whole mantra is "the establishment doesn't care about you, it only cares about itself", and this plays into that so perfectly you'd think it was his idea
With some extra time to think about it, I'm really puzzled by the motivations of both of them.
- Cruz has no chance to emerge from a contested convention. The leadership despises him and every poll shows him losing head to heads in November.
- Kasich ties himself to Cruz, when his whole sales pitch is that he's not the crazy one.
Ultimately it won't matter; Trump's going to get so close that even if he doesn't clinch outright, denying him the nomination will detonate any chance in November anyway.

Its definitely interesting. I guess they are conceding Tuesday to Trump entirely, which will put him over 1,000 delegates I think. But they seem to think a contested convention is going to be good for the party. I don't get how they think Ted Cruz can unify the party, having spent his entire political career dividing it, even going so far as calling his majority leader a liar on the Senate floor and then not only declining to apologize or even attempt to mend fences, but rather doubling down on the accusation.
I see this only working in Trump's favor. I would feel bad for Paul Ryan if he wasn't completely failing as House Speaker, he is going to have his hands full running the convention, its going to be a shitfest. However, he can avoid it entirely by simply doing what Boehner did it 2012, change the rules to favor the frontrunner, which should be the only thing he is considering (doing nothing with the rules is also an option) Instead of decreasing the amount of state wins required, simply increase it to 1 higher than what Cruz has. If he changes the rules to favor Cruz, the GOP is dead in November.

US TV network NBC is cutting ties with Donald Trump over "recent derogatory statements" that the veteran businessman made about immigrants.
NBC said the company would now not be airing the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants that are co-owned by Mr Trump.
Responding to the announcement, Mr Trump said he would consider suing NBC.
Earlier this month, he accused Mexicans of adding drugs and crime to the US as he announced he was seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
"They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people, but I speak to border guards, and they tell us what we are getting," he said in his speech on 16 June.
He also pledged to build a "great wall" on the US border with Mexico and insisted it would be paid for by Mexicans.
He later insisted he was criticising US lawmakers, not Mexican people.
