Oh man...I love the Cruz one!

No...

Really ?? I don't know how long you have followed the Huskers closely, but if this is an indication..........I'm guessing ........not ALL that long. No disrespect to Shavon (and due props for his efforts), but he is not even close to making that list. Tyron Lue, Jarron Boone, Eric Strickland, Rich King, Eric Piatkowski, Andre Smith, Chuck Jura, ..............heck you could even go back to Jerry Fort and just off the top of my head, I'm sure I'm missing a few. Since the mid 90's...and he is on par with those guys...it is not like he is some hack...over 100 starts...probably top 10 in most every stat...

It'll never cease to amaze me that people see the word "billion" and ignore all other variables involved, such as baseline wealth. As far as I recall I don't think I've said I think what he did is easy. But I don't think his wealth shows that he's savvy or proves that he understands the economy for the middle class. I think not a small proportion of the population, given that they had the ambition to be filthy rich, could have done what he did given that they started off with the amount of $ that less than 400 people had in 1980. Trump got a "small loan" of $1 million and gained control of his father's company in 1971. This is probably where Rubio gets the $200 million dollar figure for what he was given. The latest figure has his current net worth somewhere between $4-4.5 billion. The Forbes 400 said $4.1 billion in their latest list, and in '82 estimated him worth $200 million. Of course, Donald likes to brag using exaggerated numbers-- in '82 he claimed he was worth "more than $500 million" and of course, no he says he's worth north of $10 billion. But we know he's full of crap, right? But, to your point, he's done a fairly mediocre job managing his money. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. If he'd simply taken his fortune of $500 million in '82 and invested it in UNmanaged stock index funds (e.g., doesn't need actively managed, just reinvest the interest you make back into funds), he'd be worth $20 billion today. That's twice his claimed net worth and 5x the objective net worth. Basically, Donald would've been much better off doing next to nothing with his money than actively using it. Hemingway may be right about the executive experience bit, but I'd argue he's actually done a pretty shoddy job as an executive, and very basic numbers seem to back that up. The estimates for how much he was loaned in 1974 are from $40 million to $200 million. He also received thousands of properties. Also: I bet that 75% of the people that post on this site had more money than all but 400 people in the entire U.S. in 1982. I bet that 75% of the people that post on this site were several billion $ in debt and got their asses saved by a bail out. Yikes...I think you would lose both those bets...don't you? 1-800-BETS OFF

I bet that 75% of the people that post on this site are billionaires...

Just like Trump and Christie had an alliance before New Hampshire...I think Cruz and Rubio are forming one, and if Cruz does poorly in the SEC states, even if he eeks out a win in Texas, I think he will bow out as he would rather have Rubio win than Trump. I think you have a point...but I still think Cruz wants to be a supreme court justice

I know we're in the Repub thread, but even in here, this wall nonsense is just that... nonsense. Here are a few articles you should look over regarding the viability of such a wall: A description of Trump's wall from an engineer with good desriptions Here's why Trump doesn't fundamentally understand the implications or expedience of his immigration policy Trump's flawed view on economics as a whole The last two are particularly in step with my own personal thinking. I'm by no means an economist, but even I can tell when Trump talks about "losing to China, losing to Mexico, etc.," he's just totally wrong about the way trade with those country's work. I asked another person here and got no response. Tell me how Trump gets this wall built? Slapping an embargo on Mexico or imposing massive tariffs on them is going to be very harmful to OUR economy, despite the trade deficit he cites with them. Furthermore, there's no legitimate way to force Mexico to pay for the billions and billions of dollars it will take to build this wall. We've already had MULTIPLE Mexican presidents tell Trump to pound sand. So please, tell me where Trump gets the actual support to do this? He's acting like when he takes office, he's going to be able to do a lot of things unilaterally that he isn't actually going to be able to do. I perceived it as that also. You'd have to be pretty biased against Trump to say he got owned. At this point, the republicans have a choice to make. They can either nominate Trump or choose not to nominate him and lose a lot of the republican votes in the general election when he runs as an independent. Quite the quandary for people who don't like him. I just pray this thing doesn't end up with Clinton or Sanders getting the nomination because either of those seem like a disaster and - in the case of Hilary - corruption waiting to happen. Heres the thing...most Conservatives I know will simply not vote for President if Trump is the nominee...they will vote for other races....or they will write in someones name. Trump is getting a lot of support now from Reagan democrats...that is why you are seeing so many more people voting on the GOP side rather than in the Democratic primary. So i do think he would add these swing voters in a general election but will lose many mainstream and far right conservatives. That is a term that has not been used in a long long time (Star Wars Impact)

Trump got "dominated" in the minds of people that hate him...that is it. All that was last night was finally two other dudes standing up for themselves...like when your little brother finally fights back. Cruz wishes he was out because he wants to be a supreme court justice...

Does the CC endorsement help a lot?

NU doesn't have tons of talent and the dudes coming in are not what you need. Mix in the fact that you are losing possibly the best Husker basketball player in school history and things will not be great with the average coaching. Shields is very very good...exceptional.

The idea of moderation of these events without having a mute button on the microphones is useless.

You mean VP CC..... Yeah...I am thinking that too. That would give him governing experience on his ticket.

CC endorses Trump

37 Pictures That Prove Australia Is The Craziest Okay... I am crossing it off the list!!!

For some reason I think Australia...same language...nice weather...seems like a decent place but I have never been.

Thanks...gave me an idea for a new thread. Sure thing! It would not shock me at all if people up and leave...it really wouldn't

That is the great thing about this country...if you are scared or worried you can leave...which I think a lot of people will do.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0tE6T-ecmg This is amazingly well done! Also...I am not a Rubio fan but he came out very well prepared (I am guessing he got a new speech writer and and someone that knows how to shoot out some good one liners...because he seemed totally different. Props to him for (probably) hiring or (promoting) someone that could help him not look like a fish)

Did he say that? I stopped watching.

Rumor is that our new 49ers coach Chip Kelly STILL wants Sam Bradford. (that would be the same Chip Kelly some Husker fans would have called a Splash Hire) Chip Kelly would be a splash hire at Nebraska and we wouldn't have to worry about him bringing Bradford

I would DVR Trump vs Clinton...I would not want to miss a second!

Just thought that exact thought earlier. Ted Cruz finds lots of things interesting. Ted Cruz thinks he is on a first date! "Wow, I find that interesting..."

Raise your hand if you think that Miles is just an average coach.

Trump: Common Core is out...
