Trump's wall strategy is a Game of Thrones interpretation that does not stack up with reality but for his supporters it doesn't matter, and the way to secure the border is via a digital wall

Reminding my fellow panelists to shut up when Dr. M speaks. And why Sanders is scaring the Clinton campaign

Trump's defeat in Wisconsin punctured his self-perceived brilliance

Panama Papers shows 3 things: 1) Importance of robust anti-corruption institutions. 2) Putin and Jinping have again been shown to be corrupt authoritarians 3) Importance of corporate tax reform - my article here

NATO is important because it affords security for West, but NATO member states must begin to pull their weight. Exchange with Clarence.

My time linked comments:

President Obama's worldview is deluded, but US-UK tensions relate to understandable US discontent towards Europe

US Military is also dissatisfied with Europe and military spending/capability

Noting that the UK must spend more on defense investment (Pat mentions UK running out of cruise missiles in Libya 2011 campaign), but also UK contributions to US security

The President does not realize that action-words is crucial. Also, Syria stains his Presidency

Noting that President Obama is the Constitutionally empowered Commander-in-Chief (my relevant article)

Brazil scandal shows socialism corruption, popular betrayal, and start of institutions of law

China and the BRICS show why the US is the exceptional nation as a global partner. Followed by exchange with Eleanor on whether the US is the exceptional nation!

ANC has betrayed Mandela's legacy

Disagreeing with Clarence that South Africa has strong institutions

Disagreeing with Eleanor that China, Iran and Russia are adhering to US cyber-deterrent posture

US should invest in Federal Government cyber defense, but also ensure officials do not use personal email

Articulating why free trade is much better than trump trade. And exchange with Pat!

FORCED PREDICTION: Hillary Clinton will lock up delegates prior to convention, Trump will not. But also noting that Hillary emailgate is a big story
