Obama is the most Liberal president we've had in quite a while and he likes to be tactical and smart, keeping the peace and such, and some people view that as weakness. They see Trump throwing insults around, "speaking his mind", and strong arming his way to the top of the polls and they think "wow! This guy has a real backbone! He'd be great for America!" When in all reality he'll do nothing productive whatsoever! Maybe alienate us from other countries again and start a war or two...or three...but he'd be an awful president. Just awful. If anything, his popularity shows the abysmal ignorance of the American voters. At least some of them have the sense enough to know he can't do the things he's saying he wants to. Even the ones voting for the fascist zealot Cruz and the lost-cause Rubio. Mmmmmmmm heated How bizzare... I barely know anything about politics, but I know a little something about this thing called morals and values. Also, I know the difference between what is humane and inhumane... I also know that politicians shouldn't be focusing on censoring the media (because they wrote mean things), building a huge wall which has to be expensive as ****, and attacking Muslims. Just to name a few... Like It's science, bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that possible, though? I was watching an interview with a guy knowledgeable in all the delegate math, and basically the way it could happen is if Trump doesn't meet the threshold for delegates needed for a majority to secure the nomination. Thus a contested convention. Apparently that almost never happens, but the Republican Party has some rule that could be utilized so that if it does then they could pull a recount of the delegates. Now, the delegates are only pledged to their candidate on the first "ballot" and are able to switch in the event of a second "ballot" so delegates could then change their candidate. Wouldn't happen until the convention tho, and only if Trump doesn't secure the threshold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the boot-head guy that threw glitter on people? I'd vote for him over Trump any day... Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,655 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It's interesting because the GOP is currently PANICKING. The GOP leaders do NOT want Trump to win. They can't control him. Money won't move him. Lobbyists won't move him. And for this very reason angry voters that are tired of the "establishment" (this word is being overused this election cycle) are going out and voting for the outsider, Trump. No matter how twisted Trump may be, these supporters of his see him as the change they've been waiting for. Similar phenomenon is happening with Sanders.

Well of course I don't know every single Republican nominee, but I can't at the ones being covered in the media.. They make this election look like an SNL Skit.

Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Also, all the other Republican candidates have essentially now said they're only staying in to help keep Trump from securing the needed majority of delegates, and hope for something interesting at the Convention this summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That insight about the other Republican candidates now only staying in to help split the delegate count is fascinating, the next few weeks and months shall be interesting.

The backbone of the Democratic party are minorities. Sanders is very strong with white people but minorities don't know him. If he doesn't change that ASAP, he's a goner.

If anyhting, this election shows America's true colors. That's not true though. College educated people, professionals, previous Obama voters are coming out to vote for Trump. I've had conversations this past week with minorities and professionals, who previously voted democratic, who are voting for Trump. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanders is very strong with white people but minorities don't know him. If he doesn't change that ASAP, he's a goner. Sorry to say, but I don't know if really getting to know him will help. The ties that the Clintons have in the minority communities stretches back DECADES!!! Hell black people use to call Bill the first black president! So fighting against that is going to be a monumental feet! And the older people who stand by those ties are wayyyyy more likely to vote than the younger people who are not beholden by them & who could possibly be persuaded to go Sanders way... I think Sanders is currently losing to Hillary because he originally got in this race to be a protest candidate & to shape the narrative(which he has done very successful I might add). But what he did not expect was to become competitive against Hillary because of the disdain the left has always had for Hillary & The Clintons in general. But unfortunately for him though, he did not have an organization on the ground in place like she already did in many of these states. Or as much of an organization as she did I should say... She's been planning this for 2 years or more & obviously so famously already did it once back in 08 against Barack Obama! And even before then she had been planning it for years... In the end tho GROUND GAMES & ORGANIZATION win elections... And if he had had that, he would probably be winning now. Granted he is doing GREAT for getting it all together in a whim compared to her, but unlike 08 where the candidate from the left (Barack Obama) won! I think this time around the left will most likely not get their way with Bernie Sanders... #YouWinSome&YouLoseSome *shrugs* Egypt. W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
