The primaries and caucuses to select the Republican presidential nominee are officially scheduled to end on June 7. That's a big day when five states vote — California, New Jersey, South Dakota, Montana and New Mexico.
But it's quite possible that no candidate will have amassed enough pledged delegates to insure a majority at the convention. The magic number needed is 1,237. Donald Trump is the clear frontrunner, but he still needs to win more than 50 percent of the remaining delegates to reach that goal.
Explaining why President Obama's policies are not, in general, socialist, but rather fascist, Thomas Sowell writes:
What President Obama has been pushing for, and moving toward, is more insidious: government control of the economy, while leaving ownership in private hands. That way, politicians get to call the shots but, when their bright ideas lead to disaster, they can always blame those who own businesses in the private sector.
