Oh I see.She would be a good candidate for the job.

Is it possible to have a minority VP and a minority Secretary of State?

Let's say a Latino VP and a african-american Sec.Or a white VP and a Latino Sec.

CFCman:
Donald Trump wins the Illinois primary.

Secretary Clinton has won Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina so far.

Tonight, Trump has gained 106 delegates.

Looks like the end of the road for Sanders.

ValerianSteel:
The race is defined already.It's Hillary vs Trump.

Never ever thought I'd see a Trump presidential candidate early during the declarations.Now it's a reality.

I'd commend him though,he pursued his ambition with precision and decisiveness.

seunmsg:
The nomination contest is as good as over on both sides. Republican establishment should quietly suck it up and accept defeat. Donald Trump will be their party nominee and leader. Can't wait to see the fireworks between Hilary and Trump in the days ahead.

Trump will trounce hitlery, she is just a feather weight...

Obama Nominates Merrick Garland To The Supreme Court

Settling for a centrist candidate with nearly two decades of judicial experience, President Barack Obama on Wednesday nominated Merrick Garland, a federal appeals judge in Washington, D.C., to the Supreme Court seat left vacant by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

"I said I would take this process seriously, and I did," Obama said while announcing his choice from the Rose Garden at the White House, adding: "The one name that has come up repeatedly -- from Republicans and Democrats alike -- is Merrick Garland."

Garland was visibly emotional when Obama gave him the microphone.

"This is the greatest honor of my life, other than Lynn agreeing to marry me more than 20 years ago," Garland said, his voice breaking as he motioned to his wife in the audience. "For me there could be no higher service than serving as a member of the United States Supreme Court."

If confirmed, Garland, 63, wouldn't bring diversity to the court as much a lengthy résumé in public service, including stints in the Department of Justice and on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, where he has served since 1997 and is now the chief judge.

An eventual appointment for Garland is also less likely to mark a liberal shift in the Supreme Court. If anything, his contributions -- given his age and his moderate record so far -- are likely to be more pragmatic than path-marking for some of the country's most hotly contested legal issues, such as voting rights, gun control and the scope of presidential powers.

For those very reasons, Garland is the least controversial -- and likely the most confirmable -- of all the candidates who were reportedly considered for the vacancy. It is possible Obama chose him for the post to defuse the confirmation fight that Senate Republicans have promised since the moment Scalia died.

In his remarks, Obama pointed to the coming gridlock while highlighting the consequences for the court.

"Our Supreme Court really is unique. It's supposed to be above politics. It has to be. And it should stay that way," he said. "To suggest that someone as qualified and respected as Merrick Garland doesn't even deserve a hearing ... would be unprecedented."

Although I don't know much about America's electioneering history. But this Trump of a guy has somewhat been an embarrassment to the Republicans.


Although the Republicans have been known to be war-mongers, but this guy's case is just an extreme example. His utterances, haba? Very unbecoming of a presidential candidate.


Hillary, please teach this douchebag a lesson!


Oh! Less I forget, CFCman, thanks for the update. Been following all these events on Flipboard before now, but the way and manner they (Americans) insult themselves there is despicable. If I hadn't seen it, I'd have thought civilisation ended there is America.
