Republican presidential race

The many opponents of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) coming to America with its attendant threats to liberty will be happy to hear recent comments from independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and leading Republican presidential nomination contender Donald Trump regarding the matter.

On Twitter Wednesday, Kennedy posted a video clip in which he talks about his opposition to the United States having a CBDC. Kennedy explains in the video clip reasons he opposes a CBDC and declares:

A new Donald has entered the Republican presidential race; Donald Eugene Lowe, a “real” Donald from Texas. Conservative Republican Donald Eugene Lowe will be officially challenging Donald Trump at the convention in July. Donald Trump may no longer be the GOP presumptive presidential nominee. PR Newswire reports: “It’s been done before and it can be done again,” Lowe says. Lowe recalls that at the 1880 Republican National Convention that when Secretary of the Treasury, John Sherman, Ulysses S. Grant or James G. Blaine could get enough votes to secure the nomination, delegates chose James A.

Ohio Governor John Kasich has dropped out of the Republican presidential race. Trump’s main rival Ted Cruz dropped out on Tuesday night after poor results in the Indiana primary. The way is now clear for Donald Trump to be the presumptive GOP nominee. RT reports: Sources from within the campaign confirmed that Kasich would announce his withdrawal on Wednesday afternoon. He is not expected to endorse Trump, CNN reported, citing campaign insiders.

In a direct jab at republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, prominent republican billionaire backer Charles Koch said during an interview on today's edition of ABC's "This Week" that Democrat Hillary Clinton might make a better president than the candidates in the Republican field.

Gone was "Lyin' Ted."  In its place was "Senator Cruz." Gone was the long-winded speech that went nowhere. In its place was a succinct recitation of states and delegates won. Gone was the two-day vacation as a reward for winning. In its place was an early morning trip to Indiana followed by another planned stop in Maryland.
