Poll: Against Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump Would Get "Schlonged"


Donald Trump: Hillary Clinton Got "Schlonged" By Obama

Bernie Sanders would beat Donald Trump 51-38 in a general-election match-up, according to the latest poll from Quinnipiac University. Orto put it in the course vernacular that Trump introduced to America this week the billionaire would get "schlonged" by the democratic socialist.

Sidebar Bernie Sanders" Political Revolution

"Sen. Bernie Sanders hammers him," saidTim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac poll. Hillary Clinton, the poll suggests, would also put Trump in his place "Hillary Clinton tops him," added Malloy though by a more modest 47-40.

That wasn"t the only bad news for Trump, and by extension the GOP, to come out of the national poll: 61 percent of Americans say the Republican frontrunner "does not share their values," 58 percent believe he "is not honest and trustworthy,"and 57 percent say he "does not care about their needs and problems."

Most striking is the disconnect between GOP voters and the rest of the electorate of Trump"s viability as a general-election candidate. Fully 70 percent of GOP voters are convinced Trump would have a good chance of winning in November 2016. Just 41 percent of Americans at large hold the same view, with a majority (51 percent) holding that Trump "does not have a good chance of winning."

In the race for the Republican nomination, the poll shows Trump still leading a divided field. With 28 percent support, Trump bests Texas Sen. Ted Cruz by 4 points, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio by 14 points. The poll finds that both Cruz and Rubio would prove more formidable general-election competitors. Against either Clinton or Sanders, both Cruz and Rubio make the 2016 election, effectively, a tossup.

Champions League: Chelsea v PSG team news and lineups



PSG have it all to do when they take on Chelsea in Stamford Bridge today

The scoreline might say 1-1, but its not as even as that score suggests. The all important away goal that Chelsea managed in Paris gives them a significant advantage going in to this crucial Champions League clash today.

PSG need to score against their English opponents in order to have any chance of qualifying for this years Champions League quarter finals. With the attacking prowess the French side have on offer you might think they should be able to score with ease.

You have to consider their opposition, Chelsea have a great defense more often that not but when you add in the fact that manager Jose Mourinho is possibly the best tactical boss in world football it paints a dooming picture for PSG.

Mourinho is the king at setting out his stall and inviting pressure, often scraping a game by the bare minimum he needs to qualify. Take this fixture last year for example, PSG came in to the second leg up 3-1 and failed to score. Chelsea won 2-0 on the night and went through on the away goal rule.

A similar type game is expected for today, but an early goal from PSG would shake things up and force Mourinho to rethink his game plan.

Here are the players tasked with getting the job done:

'Blurred Lines' has precedents from Beatles to Vanilla Ice



By ANDREW DALTONAssociated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A jury has determined that singers Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams copied R&B legend Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give it Up" with their 2013 megahit "Blurred Lines." Thicke and Williams were ordered to pay Gaye's children nearly $7.4 million. The decision could have an unprecedented effect on the industry, but it was only the latest in decades of cases that have taken pop songs from the recording studio to the courtroom over plagiarism allegations. Here are some highlights.

EX-BEATLE VERSUS THE CHIFFONS

Former Beatle George Harrison's 1970 solo song "My Sweet Lord" had a melody heavy with echoes of "He's So Fine," the 1962 hit from The Chiffons. The copyright owner sued Harrison. A judge said that while the tunes were nearly identical, Harrison was guilty only of "subconscious plagiarism." Harrison would eventually pay out $587,000.

HUEY LEWIS VERSUS THE GHOSTBUSTERS

Ray Parker Jr. ain't afraid of no ghost, but he had to give in when Huey Lewis and the News came after him. Parker's "Ghostbusters," from the movie of the same title, was among the top 10 songs of 1984. But Lewis sued him over the song's resemblance to "I Want a New Drug," a song released earlier the same year. Parker settled out of court for a confidential sum.

VANILLA ICE VERSUS QUEEN

Vanilla Ice's 1990 signature tune, "Ice, Ice, Baby," used a sample of the 1981 Queen-David Bowie collaboration "Under Pressure" without credit. Vanilla Ice would settle out of court for an undisclosed amount in one of many cases that stemmed from hip-hop's heavy use of sampling at the time.

FOGERTY VERSUS FOGERTY

In a case as bizarre as it was far-reaching, John Fogerty was accused of stealing from John Fogerty. The Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman was sued for his 1985 solo song "The Old Man Down the Road" because his former label thought it sounded too much like the 1970 Fogerty-penned "Run Through the Jungle," a song it owned the rights to. A jury ruled in Fogerty's favor, but a countersuit over attorneys' fees would reach the U.S. Supreme Court. And the fight would lead to a decades-long and ongoing rift among bandmates who took opposing sides. Fogerty was still estranged from his brother and fellow CCR member Tom Fogerty over the issue when Tom died in 1990.

TOM PETTY VERSUS SAM SMITH

Not all plagiarism cases are so nasty. Tom Petty won a piece of British soulster Sam Smith's***t "Stay With Me" earlier this year, and all he had to do was ask. Petty's publishers said that while it was clearly coincidental, the song's melody bore a striking resemblance to Petty's 1989 song "I Won't Back Down." Smith and his representatives agreed, and granted co-writing credit to Petty. The song would win Grammys for record of the year and song of the year the following month.
