Back From Africa

++During my African stay,the only news I got was from RT television. It reminded me of how the AP used to cover Mexico. Lots of coverage of nationalist parties in Europe, constant attacks on President Obama, and labor unrest in France and the UK.

++But the week had a string of five primary wins for Donald Trump. Hillary won 4 out of Five with Bernie winning Rhode Island.

++Oh what a week,when the GOP establishment decided on Indiana or bust to stop the Donald. Remember the Indiana GOP has already selected their delegates. 

++Ted Cruz played his Carly Fiorina card to bolster his chances, having been mathematically eliminated from the GOP race. The much vaunted Cruz-Kasich pact went down in flames as Kasich told his supporters they can still vote for him in Indiana. That's not what the Pact called for,

++Being away spared me from the pundits. Mark Halperin said that the Donald could put California in play in the general election.

++Marco Rubio endorsed the Donald--which might mean 185 delegates for Trump. John Boehner said he would vote for Triump over Cruz, who is "Lucifer". 

++I hope the reader realizes how absurd and even scary the United States looks to the rest of true world with the GOP's race getting the most publicity and bucks.
