A good way to judge a presidential candidate is by how much they spend on their campaign.

By all measures, Donald Trump has spent considerably less than either Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton, which is a solid indication he won’t go crazy with spending once he assumes office.

Check this out…

From GP:

According to campaign finance reporting by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump has now spent more than $46 million on his campaign. Democratic contenders Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have spent $151 million and $165 million, respectively, or more than $316 million combined. Trump’s expenditures are 28% of Sanders’ expenditures and 30% of Clinton’s.

Republican contenders Senator Ted Cruz, Dr. Ben Carson, Senator Marco Rubio and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush spent $70 million, $60 million, $45 million and $34 million, respectively, on their failed campaigns.

The more surprising aspect of that poll is that he has a 72% approval rating among Republicans. So, after all, Republicans may still show up to vote for him despite all the media talk of conservatives staying at home in large numbers.

Trump is a very likable guy and the most qualified candidate. The only candidate who has actually achieved something in life

haha

Never Under estimate this guy. He is serious.

The Fulani herdsmen attacked at 6:00 am, just after morning prayers in Nimbo, an idyllic village in southeast Nigeria where farmers grow yams and pawpaws.

At first the villagers thought it was a joke. The nomadic cattle rearers, who have clashed with farmers over grazing rights in central Nigeria for decades, had never come this far south.

But then they saw 20 young men descend from the hills and emerge from the palm tree forest, shooting AK-47 assault rifles in the air and waving machetes.

"We started hearing the sound of gunshots everywhere. They shot so many people," Kingsley Oneyebuchie, a 31-year-old civil servant, told AFP.

"They shot one of my brothers, they used a knife on my dad, they killed so many," he said from his hospital bed in the nearby town of Nsukka, bare-chested and wearing only red athletic shorts.

Oneyebuchie ran his fingers tentatively over a 20-centimetre (eight-inch) track of blue surgical stitches at the base of his scalp.

"They used machete on me. After using machete on me, they thought that I died," he said.

Oneyebuchie was lucky to survive the attack on April 25. At least 10 people are thought to have been killed and scores of others injured.

- Ethnic lines -

In the past year, raids by Fulani herdsmen have increased in the southeast.

The worst happened some 200 kilometres (125 miles) away in Agatu, Benue state, in late February, where hundreds of people -- most of them Christian farmers -- were reportedly killed.

The bloodshed mirrors that after Nigeria gained independence in 1960, when Igbos dominant in the mainly Christian southeast, were pitted against Hausa and Fulani in the largely Muslim north.

The ethnic violence led to two military coups, hundreds of deaths -- and ultimately a civil war, when the southeast broke away and declared an independent Republic of Biafra in 1967.

Some one million Igbos died either fighting for the fledgling nation or from starvation and disease in a brutal conflict that by its end in 1970 left the southeast broken.

Now, stricken villagers maintain the only solution to the Fulani attacks -- and perceived northern domination of political posts from the president downwards -- is an independent state.

"We need to know that this is Igbo and this is Fulani," said Oneyebuchie. "We want them to leave our place so that we will be free."

- Growing conflict -

According to the Global Terrorism Index 2015 report, "Fulani militants" killed 1,229 people in 2014 -- up from 63 in 2013 -- making them the "fourth most deadly terrorist group" in the world.

Most deaths happened in Nigeria's religiously mixed so-called Middle Belt states.

But the apparent migration south into Igbo territory is being used by an increasingly hardline pro-Biafra movement as an indication the Nigerian government doesn't serve or protect the region and is stoking discontent in the southeast.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari, a northern Hausa-Fulani who opposes the pro-Biafran movement, took until late April to speak out about the herdsmen, saying he had ordered military and police to "take all necessary action to stop the carnage".

He has proposed setting up a grazing plan that includes the establishment of cattle ranches and importing grass feed from Brazil.

Critics argue his response is too little, too late and overly ambitious.

"I have yet to hear this government articulate a firm policy of non-tolerance for the serial massacres," Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka said recently, describing the ranch plan as "optimistic".

- 'A second genocide' -

The arrest and detention of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu last year catapulted him and his more hardline pressure group into the mainstream.

"Buhari has authorised a second genocide on Biafra," IPOB, which has been campaigning for Kanu's release through public protests, said about the herdsmen.

"Biafrans are on the verge of being exterminated," it added.

In Nimbo, the farmers use less emotive language but their underlying message is the same.

Today the village is deserted, with shiny new padlocks fastened on the wood doors of mud-brick houses and hectares of cassava and melon crops abandoned until safer times.

"We have been complaining to government, complaining to everyone, no help," said Thaddeus Okenwa, a 65-year-old cassava farmer with a raspy voice and muscular hands.

"We are now just managing because nothing goes normal. If they can give us our own independence, let's go.

"We don't pray for war now, but this (the Fulani issue) can cause it because you can't be a stranger in your home."

Trump is winning by a landslide especially if Hillary is the opponent.

ValerianSteel:
Drop out Bernie.Stop dividing the party simple.



Why the hell is he complaining about a rigged system.He should deal with the truth!Simply face reality and that means staring at the math.

It isn't about the rigged system but about the fact that his supporters are not getting the same treatment as killary's supporters. Click the link and read the story. Sometimes they are not allowed to vote. Sometimes they drag and delay the process in Bernie's stronghold to discourage the voters.

Lucasbalo:
Goodnight Mr Trump, sorry Mr Staunch.

Classic Liberals they can't stand an Opinion different from theirs.

Goodnight mrs Killiery, sorry mr Mucos.

Lucasbalo:
You have the right to your 1st amendment. Your post is not offensive to me and the Bigoted Trump doesn't even care for your ilk. Let some of his KKK supporters corner you and you will be hanging on the cross.

I don't get you. KKK cornering me for what? Are they now in
Nigeria? You should stop derailing this page it is about the
2016 elections. Not the KKK

Ps Killiery doesn't care for you either. She would abandon you like she did to those Americans in Lybia

I don't get you. KKK cornering me for what? Are they now in Nigeria? You should stop derailing this page it is about the 2016 elections. Not the KKK

Fact is Trump defeated 12 strong and viable candidates. But Crooked hillary is having problem with grandpa Bernie

Lucasbalo:
You should use your energy to correct all the ills being visited on Nigeria by your lootercrafts and Thieflicians running your country.

I don't want to. I want to talk about us 2016 got a problem with that?

Lucasbalo:
The bottom line is that I can vote and have effect on the election and you can only rant but can't vote. That's why your vile opinion of Hillary doesn't count.

Yea my opinion doesn't matter but i will still speak out right?
Or do you find my post offensive?

Lucasbalo:
Nothing to talk about because your opinion doesn't count. I have a say about American elections and you don't.

This is the problem with Liberals, If they don't like your opinion they call you a racist, bigot, etc. It must be their way or no way.

Well sir, I don't care if my opinon counts or not, I just say what I feel.

Lucasbalo:
Nothing to talk about because your opinion doesn't count. I have a say about American elections and you don't.

Okay Sir. Since you have appointed yourself as the minister of Opinions I'd say congratulations. But I will continue to post what I believe and if you don't like it, well Go kiss pressing Iron

Like I said they are rigging the election for Crooked Hillary.

For a subject of a sewage hell hole calling someone an idiot is laughable. Your sucking up to Trump amounts to nothing. I and tens of millions of Americans are going to send him away by our votes in November and you will still be in your third world hell hole grumbling.

Let talk about the 2016 election that's what this thread is all about.. Enough with the insults

Yea well let's watch and see. You will soon be standing alone...

Missy89:
Just because my statement fits your narrative doesnt mean I support trump. I am 100% nevertrump. Not voting this year.

Trump is not a conservative.

Of course he's not. There are the conservatives, the independent, the democratic (socialists) and Trump. Trump is a movement.

Missy89:
Typical Liberal arrogance.

Oh yea. Not just that. The elites in both parties think they can decide who becomes president. They have been trying to stop Trump from inception.

Lucasbalo:
I wish you use your energy on improving the Third World sewage hell hole you dwell in instead of mouthing off on a country you can only dream about.

Aren't you another Liberal Who doesn't like other people's opinioN.

That's what democrats do, if they can't get their points across they call you a racist or bigot. You guys have done it with the donald but it is just not working.

Well I don't want to talk about the shitty hell hole I will talk about the US and if you don't like it kill yourself.
