US Elections 2016

It's official, Fiorina & Christie are out.

 

Bom bom bom... another one bites the dust. And another one gone and another one gone and another one bites the dust.

Crazy lady was obvious, and I guess not getting noticed in New England (Christies territory) basically sealed his fate. Although Kasich was a surprise.

Which horse did you pick WoD? If you've ever said I don't recall. My horse has checked out already.

He supports Trump if I recall correctly.

 

It could very well be Trump vs Sanders this election...

"Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

Rubio is shaping up to be the candidate the neocons put their weight behind this election.
 
"Last night on Hardball, Margaret Carlson of Bloomberg News said that Chris Christie had been called by party leaders to pull in his horns on Marco Rubio. He’d gone too far against “a rising star,” Christie was told."

 

Yeah, I bet Chris Christie is not going to endorse Rubio anytime soon.

Yeah, it's best to go back pretending that the emperor has some clothes on.

More about the pro-Rubio circlejerk.

 

Apparently Christie called Trump for a "long conversation". The fact that we know that happened, but that Christie has not endorsed Trump yet could mean that Christie has decided not to endorse Trump, though.

That is correct. Trump is the only nationalist in the race.

Latest Democrat debate was pretty ****. Sanders really needs to drop his "I won't attack Clinton/Obama" tactic.

No its a  prudent tactic, he stands by his principles..which is no need for egregious personal attacks

 

It may be naive but much of what he stands for could be considered idealistic and he is doing well amongst much of the Democratic base so it is working

Another reason why I find myself aligned with  the Democrats, watching the  Democratic National Committee  debate both Sanders and Clinton have a  period where they both debating who is less critical of Obama....they both are huge supporters of his legacy which matters to me

 

I still want Clinton to be the nominee but I can really live with a Sanders presidency...personally most of his ideas I object to I dont believe will ever be realistically implemented, for example this restructuring of the financial sector, its just rhetoric IMO

 

But its very reassuring that they both support most of the fundamental ideals of Obama..which is a more equitable  and fair society for all. Nothing wrong with that   :thumbsup:

Bruce I just don't understand where you get the notion this is what Barack Obama is all about. How is a society where an agency of the government is used to undermine political participation of opposing viewpoints fair and equitable? How is a society where veterans are subject to addtional police scrutiny because of political opinions the administration THINKS they MIGHT have fair and equitable? How is a government that asserts it would be perfectly ok to kill it's own citizens with no due process if the leader of that government believes they are participating in terrorisim? How is is fair and equitable for an administration to use executive orders to make changes to laws passed by the legislature and signed by the executive years after the fact? How is is fair and equitable when every shred of electronic communication is being monitored by the NSA? How is it fair of equitable if the government can use the force of law to complel a citizen, as a condition of citizenship, to enter into a private contract with a 3rd party of the governments choosing?

 

There is nothing fair or equitable about that has been going on in the United States the past fifteen years.

Hear, hear.

 

Add to that his initial support for every whistleblower being important in a free society pretty much flew out of the window the moment he swore on the Bible.

Ah, the joy of internet memes springing forth...

Does Clinton's campaign purposefully try prevent her candidacy? Or maybe I just don't understand US politics at all. 

 

EDIT: If that email is real, it shows that Clinton's campaign wants to have more small donors behind her campaign, so that they can deflect claims about Clinton representing Wall Street. But way they go is pretty brash and therefore more likely to cause more harm than good, but as I said maybe I just don't understand US politics at all.

He means it's more fair and equitable than a burning tire around your neck.
