Trump says:

“I think that Chris did an amazing job in terms of the debate, as a prosecutor, and he’s a friend of mine,” Trump said early Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“And he actually called me last night, and we had a long talk, and he’s a little disappointed because he really did do a great job, he did an amazing job during that debate,”

As the AG pic, he and Trump instantly lose all support of younger and libertarian leaning voters as Christie is rabidly anti pot. He alone will sink the Trump ship.

Christie as attorney general in a Trump administration? He could do worse.

I agree with above on Cruz leaving the senate. On a side note Charles Munger stated that Trump is morally unqualified to be POTUS, he also stated Sanders is nuts! MG

A lot of people laugh at Trump saying Mexico will pay for the wall.

Remittances sent home by Mexicans working outside the country surpassed petroleum revenues in 2015 for the first time. There was a 4.75% increase in money sent from abroad, most of which comes from the U.S., to total US $24.8 billion last year, up from $23.6 billion in 2014, said the Bank of México.

The bank said it was the first time remittances had totaled more than petroleum revenues since it began tracking them in 1995. Oil revenues last year totaled $23.4 billion.

This is apparently the reality of the Mexican economy. They have more cash flowing into the country via letters and wire service from people working in the United States than they get from exporting oil.

This means the government of Mexico is more dependent than ever on the earnings of maids and gardeners in the U.S. to keep itself afloat. This is the leverage Donald Trump talks about to pressure Mexico to pay for the border wall.

Trump’s proposal carries: the border wall solution, the employment solution, the enforcement mechanisms of current law, and another angle that is strategically essential. “WESTERN UNION REMITTANCES” (Money Services Compliance)

It aint from maids and gardeners. Most of that money is drug money being funneled back to the cartels for their product.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Vice Chairman Charles Munger criticized leading candidates from both major U.S. political parties.

At a meeting with investors of his Daily Journal Corp. in Los Angeles Wednesday, Munger, 92, was asked whether a person who couldn’t make money in the gaming industry would be a good fit for the top office in the U.S.

“Well, he did make money for quite a while,” Munger said of Republican Donald Trump. “My attitude is that anybody who makes money running a casino is not morally qualified.”

QuickTake How the U.S. Elects Its Presidents

Munger has long railed against gambling. He’s also criticized some parts of finance as being akin to a casino. At last year’s Daily Journal meeting, he faulted politicians who rely on revenue from gaming or lotteries to balance their budgets.

Munger on Wednesday also commented on Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders. The billionaire said that the Vermont senator and French economist Thomas Piketty were too focused on their egalitarian views and income inequality, and that people will tolerate different outcomes in wealth if they are well deserved.
‘Little Nuts’

“My attitude is that both Piketty and Sanders are a little nuts,” Munger said. “If you want to look at what non-egality brings us,” people should look at the Soviet Union, Communist China and North Korea, he said.

Munger said he understands resentment about what he called “undeserved” fortunes, like the wealth that some money managers can accumulate through tax advantages. Yet Munger said that for a democratic country, inequality is a natural outcome.

“As an intellectual he’s a disgrace,” Munger said of Sanders. “Now, I don’t think he’s any worse than some of our Republicans. But at least they’re crazy in a different way.”
