Почему русские люди так сильно доверяют Шойгу (88%)? Потому что он очень хорошо умеет нагло врать:

Утверждения Киева о причастности российского спецназа к событиям на юго-востоке смахивают на паранойю. Об этом в четверг, 17 апреля, заявил министр обороны России Сергей Шойгу, сообщает «Интерфакс».

«В Минобороны РФ с глубоким удивлением восприняли утверждения главы Службы безопасности Украины Валентина Наливайченко о том, что подразделения российского спецназа якобы причастны к происходящему на юго-востоке Украины», — заявил министр.

made another step toward being the first female president of the US:
Las Vegas (CNN)Hillary Clinton has won the Nevada Democratic caucuses, a crucial victory that could ease concerns about her ability to secure the party's nomination.

With 72% of the expected vote in, Clinton was ahead of Sanders 52.2% to 47.7%.

In the meantime, Trump has won in South Carolina. As they say, pick your poison.

I wonder who is going to be her nominee for the Supreme Court position.

If I were a Democratic strategist I would work really hard to split the Republican vote, which means keeping Trump in the race, or at least in the news, for as long as possible.

It feels like in the end this campaign will be about who the candidate is not, rather than what views he or she represents. For example, Hillary's main message will be that she's not this idiot Trump; Trump's message will be that he's not part of the establishment; Rubio's message will be that he's neither Clinton nor Trump. At this point I believe that Trump will prove to be a spoiler for the Republican party, but it's hard to quantify the feeling yet.
