Re: Corporation as an individual
If the corporation is an individual, then the corporation should pay individual tax rates. And the corporation should be subject to a jail sentence.

Re: The US if Trump does get elected.
If Trump does get elected (after all we did see a "B" actor get elected twice) what realistically would happen?
Look to Illinois. We have this going on right now.
The voters, in their wisdom (or lack thereof) elected a business man as governor. He promised to run the state as a business.
The state is operating without a budget. Some state services are funded by court order.
The governor is very much in favor of compromise. He gives the orders, and legislature does what he tells them -- that's his idea of compromise. Unsurpisingly, the legislature doesn't do what he tells them, resulting in stalemate.

Re: Hillary and Iraq?
I am really trying to figure out Hilary's appeal.
It's simple.
She can get things done. And she has a better chance of winning in the general election.
Sanders is an obscure politician whom most people had not heard of, until recently. His policy proposals are reasonable. I prefer them over Hillary's. But a president does not have the authority to carry them out. They are ideas that have to be won at the grass roots. Hillary knows how to work the grass roots. Sanders doesn't.
The last time that the Democrats had a candidate like Sanders was in 1972. It was George McGovern, and he was whipped in the general election. At present, polls suggest that Sanders could win. But the Republicans have not yet aimed their big guns at him. When they do, they will say that he is a commie pinko, and they will use his own campaign speeches for that. His support will drop.
By contrast, they have been attacking Hillary for 20 years, and she seems to be able to deal with their attacks.
Yes, I wish there were a better candidate than Hillary. But Sanders is not such a candidate.

Re: Hillary and Iraq?
I think Sanders beats Obama to be honest.
I doubt that.

Re: Is being liberal bad?
Why does the Cruz campaign think that a 'liberal' is a bad badge?
I think this started with Newt Gingrich or his advisors (or perhaps it was Reagan). They started playing a game of demonization, and "liberal" was one of the words that they set out to demonize.

Re: Dont harsh my buzz
Something changed, in the sixties I believe, that turned liberalism from a benign focus on do-goodism to a Marxist point of view, thanks to the Cultural Marxism that was growing in the universities.
That never happened.
The only place where cultural marxism was growing, was in the stories told by fundie preachers.

I'll never understand the way you choose your party candidates in the US.
This is America, so it doesn't have to make sense

Re: Cruz Is Out
Trump will now emerge from his cocoon metamorphosis as
the new Tolerant Fair Sensitive Trump v2.0
He will have to shake that Etch-a-Sketch real hard.
