In China, people in the top tend to focus more on 2. To get "elected" is to get recognized and acknowledged by the elites rather than the general public. Since the American people (the public) still have an influence on the election, it is quite interesting to me that many of you so eagerly...

More precisely, it is the nature of politicians to seek to dominate. Not just the media, think about the academia and education. If the Democrats are able to keep the media and the academia both in control, dominance is a matter of time, and it won't take too long. If the vast majority of the...

Here's the thing though: is this situation created by the American people because this is what you want, or is it created by the Democrats? If it is the former, you've found your well-deserved leadership; otherwise, you are all screwed.

For those who don't know me or don't remember me, I'm a Chinese visiting scholar who happens to be interested in American politics. While I don't post a lot, I do read your posts and enjoy reading them. These posts help me understand what the American people think about the politics and future...

Let me explain: Media: Trump said Cruz's dad is involved in the assassination! Trump: I brought about the report not because I believed it, it's just a tactic to draw attention and maybe confuse some low info voters. It's called politics! Trump supporters (Type 1): Yeah we know you man, good...

I have to say that this is just so funny!!

Since I'm from China, I know what happens with one version of "gun laws", which is essentially "get or sell a gun and don't be surprised by a death sentence". Two observations: 1. It results in very low rate of gun violence in an extremely populous country. 2. People start to kill with knives...

There are large number of Japanese "fans" and "haters" in China. Fans tend to be of younger generations. Most Chinese think that the black are ... black (I mean the color of their skin). In other words, we don't think much about the black because they are not a noticeable part of our society...

It's an argument commonly made by people who support affirmative actions, which I do not necessarily agree. If I understand it correctly, you were indicating that the black is "a horse that does not want to drink". In other words, a large portion of the black does not value high-quality...

Interesting. What are some of the criteria that you would recommend?

With respect to your questions: no, primarily because we cannot afford it.

"Anybody should be able to immigrate to America" - "anything that adds to the workforce and pays Taxes". This seems to be a really generous suggestion. I am sure that there are millions of people all over the world who wish to start a new life in America, and that they are willing to do their...

Thank you for the reminder. Just in case you wondered, the discussion here is just a casual but hopefully informative discussion rather than a formal research (although I might have made it appear a little more formal than it should be...).

If I were to bet on this, I would choose Trump over Cruz. Since I always win when I bet, I decide not to do it this time.

Sometimes, people suffer because of good listening comprehension skills. As a foreign language learner, I used to work very hard to suffer...
