On the morning after, one thing is clear: the Republican party is at a crossroads Many party leaders and establishment Republicans see two paths ahead. One is to accept what appears to be the increasingly likely outcome in the 2016 race - that Trump will soon clinch the GOP nomination - and offer the New York businessman their blessing.

The Vermont senator began his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination last year with a sizable financial disadvantage compared to front-runner Hillary Clinton. By the end of last June, Sanders had raised just shy of $14 million for his campaign, less than a third of the $47.5 million Clinton had raised for hers.

It's crazy how much he has raised. Considering most of his money just comes from average citizens like you and me, and not big corporations.

she would have never got caught if she wasnt being stupid and tailgating. I bet if she wasnt tailgating she would have never got introuble in the first place!!!

American voters haven't elected an unmarried president since 1885, the same year the Washington Monument was dedicated on the National Mall and the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York. Graham is barely registering in the polls.

"The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Tuesday in a case that could decide whether gay and lesbian couples nationwide have the constitutional right to marry. The question at the core of Obergefell v. Hodges is one of the most consequential debates of the early 21st century, and one that is already helping to shape the 2016 presidential race."

"The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday ordered the redrawing of some of the state's U.S. congressional districts before the 2016 elections."

As the party works to retake control of the Senate in 2016, Democrats are looking at a Senate landscape that could feature titanic intraparty clashes starring big personalities who have been waiting years for a shot at the big time.

I remember when we discussed Shays rebellion in class... that was in 1786. Is it 2016 already? I am really curious what you think of this situation.

I think that preserving wildlife is important, but not at the expense of the ranchers and farmers who were forced to sell their land. It doesn't matter how much money they were paid; now that they lost their source of income, once the money's gone, it's gone. And they'd have to get a new job in an occupation that requires a vastly different skill set. I'd be upset if my land was forced away from me so the government could undo all my hard work and make it into a wildlife preserve.

While I find that the wild life is important, it was originally the farmer's land and they have the right to not sell their land. I could see where the government could find that the farmers were burning the land because they were angry, however, them burning it for poaching is a little far. It was both a son and father and they were marking where their property ended and the reserve started, this is very logical and I don't really understand where the government couldn't see that it got a little out of control. Fires can be unpredictable and are usually hard to control.

The polls -- from CNN/ORC, Monmouth University, NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post and ABC News, were all conducted after last week's Democratic debate hosted by CNN and Facebook. Here's a look what the polls say about the state of the race: Three of the polls asked about Democrats' performance in their first debate, held October 13 in Las Vegas.

Sanders, the first Jewish politician to ever win a presidential primary, is the only remaining 2016 contender who will not speak at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a major gathering for politicians and Jewish leaders every year.

"A report prepared for the Senate that provides the most sweeping analysis yet of Russia's disinformation campaign around the 2016 election found the operation used every major social media platform to deliver words, images and videos tailored to voters' interests to help elect President Trump"

"Two weeks before his inauguration, Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election."

"Public contradictions, walkbacks and flip-flops have become a hallmark of how Trump's team has responded to the Russia probe, which was launched in 2016 and is now in its third year."

"Research has shed light on increasing safety concerns related to cannabis. The researchers identified 9,973 cannabis-related emergency department visits at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital from 2012 to 2016, a more than threefold increase in such visits."

"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday if a Supreme Court vacancy occurs during next year's presidential election, he would work to confirm a nominee appointed by President Donald Trump. That's a move that is in sharp contrast to his decision to block President Barack Obama's nominee to the high court following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February 2016."

It's something Trump has done before. In a 1990 CNN interview reviewed by CNN's KFile, Trump walked off an interview when reporter Charles Feldman pressed him on questions over the financial stability of his Atlantic City casinos. The interview took place in March 1990, just days before Trump's billion dollar Atlantic City casino, the Trump Taj Mahal, was set to open.

Donald Trump walking off when he was pressed to answer questions about his casino make me want to know why he really walked off instead of just saying an excuse. Is he hiding something? Trump lashed out and said "You aren't going to talk about positive people. You'll talk about the negative. You want to talk about the negative." I understand that you should say positive things about people, but you should also be able to hear about the negative too because it is good to know.

"Obama has now granted clemency to 774 individuals, the vast majority of whom were serving time for nonviolent drug crimes. Just in the past year, Obama has granted clemency to 590 prisoners -- the most commutations in any single year of US history."

All passengers disembarked from the aircraft safely. When asked about media reports which said that 25 crew and passengers were treated for smoke inhalation, British Airways' London office told CNN that a number of people had been treated after becoming unwell, including two passengers.

"Sen. Ted Cruz signaled Wednesday his interest in slow-walking any new Supreme Court appointments to fill the seat vacated by Antonin Scalia's death, arguing that there is precedent for leaving the ninth seat vacant."

I think they're really having trouble with the vacant seat, leaving it open or filling it, at least at some point. I think they should fill it, if not now then maybe soon, and let's hope that it will be a good person at a good time.

Sasse, the freshman Republican, has emerged as one of Trump's foremost critics from the right. Romney and Sasse have talked, the source said, and Romney encouraged Sasse to seriously consider a run. But Sasse is refusing to enter the race. "We will decline to comment on the senator's conversations," Sasse spokesman James Wegmann said.

Don't drop out of the race; redefine it. As you know, I am a friend of Hillary Clinton's. I also advise a super PAC that helped re-elect President Obama and now supports Hillary. But I also have known, liked, respected and admired you for many years, and you know that, too.

If Sanders drops out of the race, it'll definitely end up being Trump vs. Clinton in the general election. Something tells me that the outcome of this election will be less than desired any way you look at it. There will be no real winners in this.
