American workers are still the bright spot in the nation's economy.

The United States added a healthy 242,000 jobs in February, far better than its gains of 172,000 in January. Economists surveyed by CNNMoney had predicted a gain of 190,000 jobs in February.

Unemployment stayed at 4.9% last month, the lowest mark since February 2008. It's at a level many experts consider to be "full employment."

The job market's momentum is cooling concerns from earlier this year that the U.S. economy would fall into recession this year. February's gains are the latest sign of good news: retail sales were solid in January and growth appears to be picking up

Those  people are crying because they know the minority population is 38 % of the pool of electors and they will be coming out in large numbers to stop  Donald Trump. With white progressives, this constitute an unbeatable block. Republicans cannot hope to make inroads if they have a bull headed windbag as Trump.

Worse they will lose on the down ballots and the next president will get to install 3 justices transforming the courts for another generation. They are all in great birthing pains given the tea party, obstinacy in the senate and manufactured vitriolic anti Obama rhetoric  transformed them into the whore of Babylon and Trump is her baby.

Unemployment is "low", so is labor participation and so is income!!  People are being forced to anything for a meal as Unemployment benefits ran out for many!!

This is not a success story!!  This is like the PNCites saying PNC/Hoyte was a success due to the 1991-1992 dead cat bounce!!

stop being in denial

Donald told Rubio his thing working properly. I was expecting him to say : Marco bend ova yuh gun find out"

Cobra, Dat is yuh candidate????  He gat style Bhai.

Republicans have to choose between

Big "lolo" Trump vs Little "seed" Marco vs No "balls" Cruz....

Meanwhile Dead "dick" Kasich waiting in de wings

Meanwhile Trump sayin ROmney would have given him ah blow job in 2012....

Guess Trump will create "blow jobs" for the new economy

Don't sell Trump out yet. Even I do not like his ego, a lot of white rednecks follow him blindly. He could do no wrong. The man like he's got teflon for skin, besides his large hands to hold his lolo(can't vouch for his endowment).

Let us not count our chickens before they hatch.  Already there are rumors that some of the angriest Bernie supporters might switch to Trump if Hillary is the candidate.

White "progressives" don't trust Hillary, so might be motivated to turn out in lower numbers.

Note that Obama only won 52% of the vote.

Also odd as it might sound to you, but there is a type of working class black male who might like Trump's bravado , as well as his nativism, given that many have been displaced by Hispanic immigrant workers.  They might stay home.

Hillary will have to work for every vote that she gets, and in fact Bill is already cautioning the Democrats to not take Trump for granted.  If she assumes victory, she might end up looking like Rubio, who has been reduced to looking like a kid with his jokes about human waste, and male genitalia. 

Note that the minority vote isn't 38%.  It was 28% in a year when Obama attracted high black turn out.  So let us assume 30% now.  Hillary will still need  40% of the white vote, and you better believe that white progressives aren't 40% of the white vote.

Trump will trump grandma Hillary.

Skelly,

America needs Trump. No more welfare and single mom state. 

Time to ask them to be more responsible and get a job and get a life and rise responsible children.

And we all know who we are talking about.

Canadians should shut up if they don't know anything about America

The USA offers very little welfare.  If you live in Canada you should whine about what they offer.  In fact just about every rich nation offers more than what the USA does.

In a perverse way, Trump and Bernie do have many similarities in their message, but different styles of delivery!!  Additionally, they are probably the two more truthful people out there!!

Which is in fact true, except that Bernie, is honest, but stupid, while Trump is a hypocrite.  Look at how he screams about politicians he get political contributions, and then boasts about how he purchases them to get his own way.

Lucky for the US white rednecks are just another minority group, so cannot enforce their will on the rest of us.

Bernies folks are liberal progressives with left leanings. They hate trump. Many said Hillary votes would not move over to Obama. They did. It is they way things are with the left and the right until now. Trump split the right into two opposing groups.

Bernie attracts two groups.  "Progressives" and millennials who hate Trump, and angry victims of outsourcing and the de industrialization of the USA, who aren't immune to Trump.  The Angry White Man.  In fact don't count Hillary as a winner too soon, until she gets passed states like MI, PA, OH, and IL, which are packed with these folks.

This is why Bill is cautioning the Democrats that they must have a strategy for Trump, and not ignore him, as the GOP did.

If you doubt this analysis, take it up with Bill, who fears that the Democrats might think as you do, and then end up like the GOP, at the last minute trying to blunt Trump. 

The problem is that angry and emotional people with scanty education cannot be reasoned with, and they lack the sophistication to understand the nuances that Hillary has.  They do the sound bite thing.

Why do you think that the GOP hates Trump? 

Because he is too crude and isnt appalled by white supremacists?  No as they displayed crudity towards Obama and tolerated blatant bigotry at Tea Party events, before this began to embarrass them.

Because he is anti Hispanic or anti Muslim?  Well in the early stages of the campaign ALL of them (except Kasich) raced to show how anti Muslim and anti Hispanic they could be (even the two supposedly Hispanic candidates).

No.  The GOP hates Trump because his platform (stripped of the buffoonery and bigotry) contains similar levels of nativist protectionism, and anti Wall St angst as does Bernie, and so they want to stop him. 

As Kari said Trump is a moderate, who wraps himself in right wing clothing as part of his gimmick to attract primary voters. 

The GOP knows this, but also realize that they cannot use this as an argument, so peddle the "KKK thing".  The KKK have supported the GOP since 1968, when Nixon began his infamous Southern Strategy to woo white racists away from the Dixiecrats.  Duke RAN as a GOP candidate in more than a few elections.

Every now and then, Kari displays some spark of life coming from his synapses!!  There is hope!!
