I would flip Kasich with Sanders and Carson with a potted plant. But yeah, I agree that this is by far the lousiest bunch of malcontents we've had to choose from in my lifetime.creep wrote:i guess if i had to rank them from the least worse to the worse it would be:

It's helps in small part legitimize Trump's standing in the Republican party. I used to kind of like Christie up 'til the New Jersey traffic scandal but this move is just Christie blatantly sucking up to Trump knowing he has the Republican nomination locked up and hoping for a position like Attorney General or even Vice President.Artemis wrote:Yesterday I was surprised to read that Chris Christie is officially backing Trump. Not sure if that helps or hinders Trump's chances.
A rally hosted by advocates for the Confederate flag and the Confederate narrative of American history was deliberately transformed into Donald Trump rally on the day of the Republican primary in South Carolina.
isn’t that what everyone said before: he’ll never get nominated?kv wrote:Wtf is wrong with you people? he isn't winning... Running yes..nom sure..winning? fuck no
Beneath Hillary Clinton’s Super Tuesday Wins, Signs of Turnout Trouble
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
MARCH 2, 2016
Democratic turnout has fallen drastically since 2008, the last time the party had a contested primary, with roughly three million fewer Democrats voting in the 15 states that held caucuses or primaries through Tuesday, according to unofficial election results. It declined in virtually every state, dropping by roughly 50 percent in states like Minnesota and Texas. In Arkansas, Alabama, and Georgia, the number of Democrats voting decreased by roughly a third.
The fall-off in Democratic primary turnout — which often reveals whether a candidate is exciting voters and attracting them to the polls — reached deeply into some of the core groups of voters Mrs. Clinton must not only win in November, but turn out in large numbers. It stands in sharp contrast to the flood of energized new voters showing up at the polls to vote for Donald J. Trump in the Republican contest.
“If there is a drop-off in the surge vote in the Florida, Ohio and Virginia, that is 60 electoral votes,” Mr. King said. “No one has captured the real dilemma in the 2016 election. It’s not a question of whether Hillary Clinton would get 90 percent of the black vote. The question is: 90 percent of what?”
Mr. King and other Democrats said that Mr. Trump could present Democrats with the prospect of a greatly altered political and demographic map. His candidacy is helping spur higher turnout in each of the first four Republican contests, including Nevada, where Mr. Trump’s vote total by itself surpassed overall turnout in the 2012 election, setting a state record. On Super Tuesday, Republicans smashed turnout records in Massachusetts, a traditionally Democratic-leaning state, and saw huge turnout in both Virginia and Tennessee.
And despite the seemingly inexorable demographic rise of Hispanic voters, the American electorate is still overwhelmingly white. Some analysts said they believed Mr. Trump could even exceed Mitt Romney’s 59 percent share of the white vote — winning over disaffected Republicans and even working-class Democratic men, and putting Democratic-leaning swing states like Michigan, and potentially Pennsylvania, in play. That could offset losses Republicans might suffer among Latino voters, forcing the Democratic nominee to overperform significantly among the smaller proportion of nonwhite voters.
So I went to vote for the first time today. Everything went smoothly until I actually got to my booth. There was no option to choose my candidate, only a yes or no question about some 1% tax that I didn't give a damn about and that was it. So after me and my dad questioned the lady working the polls, she proceeds to tell us that we checked independent when we clearly both chose Democrat. She then looks at our sheets and tells us that she accidentally put us on the non-partisan list and she'll "pray that we forgive her, but we can still vote in November". Ya no shit, but it won't probably be Bernie in the primaries thanks to BS like this. Needless to say, I called the election protection hotline and opened up a case against Royston City Hall. I hope everyone else had a smooth experience at the polls today, cause I sure as hell didn't.
Think how it feels being sane and living right in the middle of all of them.Mescal wrote:Americans scare me at this moment
Watch Mitt Romney Attempt to Tear Down "Phony" Donald Trump
Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney slammed Donald Trump on Thursday as "a phony" and "a fraud," and urged fellow Republicans to disavow the real estate magnate's bid for the White House.
"His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University," Romney said at the University of Utah. "He's playing the American public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat."
Romney went on to make the case against Trump's increasingly likely nomination, arguing that it would hurt the Republican Party and ultimately mean a loss to Hillary Clinton in the general election. Romney's speech represents a larger effort by Republican leaders to put an end to Trump's momentum.
The blistering remarks, which took aim at Trump's economic promises, foreign policy plans, and character, come just two days after Trump's overwhelming Super Tuesday victories in the Republican primaries.
"Dishonesty is Donald Trump's hallmark," Romney told the crowd.
Well, yeah, that may be a bit of a stretch. But I can comprehend reality, and have the ability to reason. Those things aren't really practiced much, or even accepted here currently.kv wrote:Ya...you're sane
I wonder how @PolitiFact will fact-check a candidates’ genital size. And I can’t believe that I’m tweeting this in a Presidential debate!
