It would just never happen. Because absolutely any unqualified moron could enter the election babbling god BS, and run away with the win.Bandit72 wrote:Ah, I think you answered it with your first response. 75% of Americans believe in God so would never vote for an atheist in the first place.
I wonder what would happen if all candidates were atheists.

Is there ANY chance Trump could get elected President?

Re: Elections 2015
chance? Like there is a chance of being killed in a terrorist attack?
Sure!
Doomsday candidates don't get elected for President, never have.
It's just 20% of the population who are hogging the media right now, another 40% fascinated by the spectacle and the other 39% could care less.

Re: Elections 2015
Couldn't care less. If they could care less, that means they care some amount where even if they cared less they would still care.

It's pretty hard to not be able to care less.......

yeah but the divergence in that example must've happened at some point.

Oh... I didn't realize he had a platform outside of "Keep them out" "You're ugly and a loser" and "Trust me, I know how to get things done"
Oh... I see that's still his positions on the issues.
Re: Elections 2015
this is the first election in a long time that i really don't like any of the candidates much at all. even the last few republican nominees i could of lived with being the president.Bandit72 wrote:Is there ANY chance Trump could get elected President?
trump can get elected very easily if some of hillary's skeletons get exposed. i'm sure there are some.
Re: Elections 2015
Yeah, I know... it's a thing that happens. Especially idioms that have prepositions in them.. they get flipped or reversed to the point where they literally mean the opposite, or something orthogonal. But 'could care less' just bugs me... because it's not a problem with a preposition (like saying "stay where you're at" or the fucking cringeworthy "on accident") it's just a failure to say the contraction of the negation "not"... which is silly. Just say "couldn't"! It's what you mean!mockbee wrote:Idioms don't care about logic.nausearockpig wrote:Yeah I've heard USAians say "could care less" when they mean "couldn't" so often. what is that?Hype wrote:Couldn't care less.

I guess I've been marking too many papers recently... I'll try to ignore that shit in the future.

WTF?? 
Cowardice
Are you serious?
Apologies for freedom, I can’t handle this.
When freedom rings, answer the call!
On your feet, stand up tall!
Freedom's on our shoulders, USA!
Enemies of freedom face the music, c'mon boys, take them down
President Donald Trump knows how to make America great
Deal from strength or get crushed every time

that's the funniest/worst thing i have seen in a while.Re: Elections 2015
I noticed tonight while watching the GOP debate that Marco Rubio sounds like Ray from Girls. Does anybody else think so?

Holy shit...that was mesmerizing.........
Ameritude!
I couldn't figure out if that was a parody or not.
Between this video and what people said about that schoolyard scuffle, I mean debate, the other night, we now seem to be living in a cartoon.
I see Cruz winning Iowa, Trump has no organization there, and they love to pick the evangelical: Santorum, Huckabee, Bush.
I am actually thankful for the painfully long US election process. I suppose it just guarantees an insider, because people get bored and spooked by the agitator. Fine by me at this point.
tame.....

I was thinking the same thing! I can see Etty in one of those outfits too. Of course, her skirt would be much shorter.
