A Los Angeles jury will soon decide whether Led Zeppelin ripped off the Spirit song “Taurus” for their monster hit “Stairway to Heaven.” How would the candidates weigh in?

I’m sure Hillary will change her mind. Soon as she figures out how everyone who has a checkbook feels about it.
Speaking of how everyone feels, the New York primary was a disappointment for Sanders, sure. But not so big a disappointment as to make his campaign unwinnable. He needs a shade over 58% of the remaining delegates. This is not outside of the realm of the possible.
Shall we all start panicking over the general election now? Trump winning in a landslide on the one hand or HRC winning and being unable to get anything done at all due to a House and Senate that will cut her off at the knees at every turn?
Alex,
No need to worry about congress cutting HRC off at the knees, since she won’t actually try to get anything done.
Yeah. I was surprised to see him say that.
Well, it’s been days since Michelle Fields has been shown to be a liar (as I asserted here); will an apology be forthcoming, Ted? She invaded Trump’s security bubble and touched him, provoking Mr. Lewandowski’s response. There is also a photo the night of showing she had no bruise. And she said she didn’t touch Trump when she clearly did. There is and never was any case against Mr. Lewandowski. The chief assistant prosecutor said, “He just kinda did what he needed to do.”
And anyway, Ted, aren’t you all about waiting for the verdict? You were condemning him for being arrested!
As someone who employs Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major to test the sound when installing new computers, I must confess that the candidates’ stands on this vital matter fails to move me…. 😉
