I'm having some honest trouble not confusing your for the other dude... I forgot his name but he does not know how to stop, his icon is a lie, and he has turned me off from cowboys for a while. I cannot remember his username for the life of me though.

But yes, political experience of some kind would be nice... though I honestly can not think of anything else though.

I'm mad that his icon is a lie, too, tbh.

On this forum everyone should be mad.

But I think it's weird. I can't see how you can use such a picture. I feel like you're claiming someone else's soul.

That's why I always had a problem finding pictures for roleplays that required "real life" pictures for the characters.

Super Delegates will switch to Sanders if he extends his winning streak into more diverse states and eventually appears to have more of a mandate than Clinton among Democratic voters. 

They could break a "virtual tie" though, or a close race, and in that situation go for Hillary. 

 

After last night, I don't see Bernie recovering.

You are correct, but that wasn't what your original comment was saying. You stated that Hillary was ahead due to the Super Delegates, and that was incorrect.

In fact, never in the history of the democratic primary process have super delegates gone against the primary voters. If the base wants a certain candidate over another, then the delegates would go with the preferred candidate of the people.

trump will probably get the nomination but i think it is highly unlikely that he will win. the majority of the US electorate won't be able to look past the racism, violence, etc. he will get utterly destroyed in the general. like 2/3 for hillary probably (at the least). or bernie depending. doubt he'll get the nomination too though, but he's unpredictable so one can never tell.

Hey guys! I'll be glad to explain this. 

So in America we have 2 political parties; Republican and Democrat. You have several candidates on each side running under the parties banners. 

It's kind of like the NFL playoffs. You have the NFC and AFC. One AFC champion meets one NFC champion in the superbowl. 

Right now the parties are having primary contests to decide the nomination or "the champs". Whoever wins the most delegates on the republican side will be the Republican nominee and whoever wins the most delegates on the Democratic side will be their nominee. 

In November, the Republican will meet the Democrat to decide the Presidency. 

Its interesting but tbh i find it a bit flawed

 

it gives everyone an uneven chance because depending on how much you can raise etc u may get more spolight even if u are not the best

 

Here in Canada the party chooses their leader and we only vote once. Because the party chooses them and this is well thought through you never get idiots running. They are all intelligent and debates are very intellectual and goes deep

 

Also there is a set amount of money you can spend, so no one gets an advantage over another.

 

The downside of course is you only get to choose the party, you have no say on who becames Prime Minister and elections happen only once
