Trump's unfavourability rating (-58) is worse than Nixon's after Watergate.

So just slightly more unfavourable than darling Hillary?

Hillary's cut & paste speech was depressing. Just the same speech every other robot has given for the last thirty years - long on clichés, zero on specifics. If you just read it, you couldn't tell whether it had been given by Romney, Bush, McCain or Bill.

Despite the headlines, it wasn't a bad night for Sanders. Four States is good enough to keep his head above water, so he has achieved his first objective of surviving Super Tuesday. If he gets through the rest of March, he has a shot. And he now has a lot of money to spend.

If we ignore the favourability ratings there is still hope for Jeremy Corbyn (-51 at the last count).

Massachusetts is a state where independent voters can cast a ballot in the primary of any party. Therefore you could easily expect all Trump haters to go out of their way to vote for another candidate.

It is interesting to note that Trump took Massachusetts with 49%. His nearest rival was Kasich at 18%

Hillary scraped it, with a 0.4% edge on Sanders. It's quite well known that a significant amount of Bernie voters have said they would point blank refuse to go with Hillary in the Presidential election if she were to win the nomination.

It suprises me, the negativity towards Trump from poker players. If any presidential candidate is looking forward to giving Sheldon Addelson the middle finger once President, it's Donald J Trump. Removing Addelson from US Politics will be a huge net benefit to the poker community the world over.

Having a fully-loaded loose blunderbuss in charge would be one hell of a price to pay, however if it meant that all those yankee PLO players would be back playing with us you may have a point.

Why should it surprise you that people put other things above poker?  Seems very narrow minded to just look at what is best for poker, and ignore all the deeply unpleasant stuff he has said.   Even if you can ignore all that, then where is the evidence that he will give Adelson the middle finger?  And even if any evidence existed, Trump is so incinsistent that there is no certainty he will follow through anything he has promised.

It makes me sad to think that such a large percentage of the population of a so called civilised country would support such an openly racist, bigoted candidate.

A man blessed with Trump's advantages in life could do so much good too. He's despicable.

IMO of course.

MintTrav obviously the most knowledgeable on all things US, so guess this is for him Smiley

From the outside, and with very limited knowledge of the US, and it's politicians.

Obama has always seemed to be the most stable/balanced president in my short lifetime, but a fair few Americans that seem to make the most noise talk about him being the worst president ever.

Would I be mistaken in thinking that probably means that he has actually been very good, and it's just the loons spouting?

The idea of voting for Trump because it might be good for online poker is just beyond belief.

How would you describe a President who starts office with a National debt of $9 trillion, and is about to leave office with a national debt of $20 trillion?

I'd describe him as man who was President during a period when the national debt increased. If I was balanced I might also list some accomplishments
