How special....a bunch of attorneys playing games...fitting
Honest about being a communist is still not reason to vote for it. Please reconsider.
And even with at l,east the 1237 and possibly more delegates, I still worry about the GOPE and the conventions. This is probably THE dirtiest primary/election season I have EVER lived through.
from today’s comments. Head hurt real bad today so I’ve been on a lot:
To the future!!!! Trump, just win already!
I want to drive there and hold a HUGE Trump sign on campus :)
this paper HATES Trump. I HATE This paper. have for 20 plus years, maybe longer.
ah, i’m voting for trump on the 16th, I think that’s the ny date.
I liked cruz. it’s a shame. but we should move on to what positive things Trump is talking about...
There’s a lot more, nopardons. I liked ted a lot so I jump to his defense instinctively on those affair threads, I guess. But I never say I am voting for him.
I have been thinking about that a lot the last several days....
I wonder if it IS the dirtiest, or if it is just the most obvious one due to 'alternative media' and Trump making people so insane that they don't cover such things up like they usually do.
He always looks so bitching mad.
I don't think either Cruz or Trump would mount an independent campaign. The money would not be there and it would take a lot of it to run a nation wide general campaign, especially for Trump, because the numbers wouldn't be there on the ledger if he factors in the unbelievably high negatives. He is a business man.
No support for Cruz to run independent either for the same reason although there are less steep figures. He and Trump may have actually killed their chances with women, polling dismally in the "Reagan Dems" too.
Kasich is pretty far ahead with the poll numbers, out-polling HRC in all of the RCP polls and well above the MOE. The real wild card would be a dark horse at the Dem convention...they would be far more willing to sacrifice. Even Sanders is out-polling Hillary in a general and is leading all 3 R's. Crushing Trump and Cruz, statistically even with Kasich. Sanders might end up being their man, but his age and the fact he hasn't really taken fire yet are probably so skewing the polls he really is a blind chance. We could end up with Slow Joe out there to cement the idea that Obama's demolition continues.
Dems believe that it just doesn't matter who is in there as long as it's a Dem. Possibility of pickups in the House and Senate and the surety of at least two to four SCOTUS appointments...they'll dig up FDR if they have to. Just for openers, the SCOTUS will possibly be changed for decades. This is real high stakes no shit time for both parties, but Dems might kill people if they have to. We never have been able to hammer them. And of course...they have the press.
Looking at the RCP page is interesting for a number of reasons, but the combination of the negatives and the lagging behind might just make both parties either back their most likely to win (Sanders and Kasich) or bring in a ringer. We've never seen anything like this, so the numbers might be really out of whack, so I am guessing they have teams of internals spinning like hell.
Count on the anti-war machine to crank up, violence if necessary, but in the least, violent demonstrations and more hatred stirring from the left. Their Latin, black and swarthy looking operatives are going to be very busy fomenting more of the bullshite we've been seeing.
We are gonna have to go to whatever lengths necessary, just as they are, by any means necessary, to win this. Not sure, with all the infighting, we will be able or willing to pull the lever for whoever it is, like the Dems will.
Wow! Talk about "going postal"...
As I recall, the election of 1884 was dirtier.
Probably misses all the trim he used to get alongside Gary Condit, unless he just misses Gary (who is bi, bi the way).
1828 was bad enough that Rachel Jackson died from the stress of the campaign (where she was accused of being a bigamist). Andrew Jackson was a very bitter and enraged man for his two terms as a result, desperately missing his late wife.
Heh, I missed that one by a couple of years.

- Kasich voted for the “Assault” Weapons Ban. https://grabien.com/file.php?id=53463 and does not regret that vote
- Kasich supported and implemented Obamacare’s Medicare expansion http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/john-kasich-bible-medicaid_us_56140a54e4b022a4ce5fb1e3 .
- Kasich supports Amnesty for illegals. http://www.ontheissues.org/John_Kasich.htm
- Kasich says Christian bakers should “bake the cupcake” and participate in a gay parody of the sacrament of marriage, even if it violates their religious beliefs. https://www.frcaction.org/updatearticle/20160225/kasich-pushes
- Kasich supports Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-kasich-id-consider-nominating-merrick-garland-supreme-court-election-2016/
- Kasich would have to admit that he is a democrat if he wanted his natural supporters to vote for him in the primary, and he is completely unacceptable. I do not want Hillary to win, but the differences between her and Kasich are disgustingly small.
If “they” do anything like this, there will be a walkout that will make the Dixiecrat walkout in 1948 look like a love-fest.
If that happens say goodby to what is left of the GOP
How’s this for a war game?
1. Neither Trump nor Cruz get to 1,237, but Trump is close.
2. The GOPe continue their games and threats, leading to the general view that they will use a dead-locked convention to slip in one of their preferred people.
3. Trump and Cruz, being smart and understanding their common interest, decide to combine forces BOTH for the pre-convention rule making and the Presidential vote.
4. Trump becomes the nominee. Cruz becomes Solicitor General with a promise to be named to the Supreme Court AND to become the Administration’s point man on all judicial nominations until he is nominated for the Court. He picks them, Trump names them.
5. The GOPe is decimated, as Trump and Cruz use their power and knowledge to pick new Party leaders and to encourage primary challenges to RINOs in the House, Senate and governorships.
If corruption is used to make John Kasich the nominee, the Republican Party will go down and be replaced by another. I know some folks in Ohio and, though they think he has done OK as Governor, they do not want him as the nominee because they do not believe he could win against Hillary.
If the GOPe tries to foist this kind of shit on us I will never again vote for a Republican.
Trump can win as an independent - rather easily, IMO - but not with Cruz.
Jim Webb would work, I can’t think of another pro-American Democrat off the top of my head, but there must be at least a few.
With some of the “new rules” and other potential obfuscations, even Bush/Rubio/Carson, etc., “could” end up with the nomination - yet we cheer the “Take Trump Down” movement that will make it all possible for real treachery to occur.
