*2016 US Presidential Elections* - Candidates, Statistics, Campaign Timelines, Debates

[Luxman]

The main thing that could loose the election for Hillary is that she's a woman.
Because in America, as in all countries, most people are still misogynistic, from thousands of years of repressive cultural conditioning.
Hopefully she'll win, and inspire future generations of young girls and women.

Sanders 2016

Sir, I have to tip my hat. Well played :drama:

 

[Jagger69]

He should fire up that 767 back it up and jet blast them off the stage like a taco bender using a Stihl leaf blower.

Just for the record, it's a 757 but hey who's counting? :dunno:

Sad to say but yesterday, Sanders lost Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Florida and North Carolina. It's over, he's done, Hillary won.
Bernie did a great campaign, we thought Hillary would have no decent adversaries in the primaries, Sanders was a tough opponent. But the establishment was too strong for him most of liberal mainstream medias were on Hillary's side, name recognition was on her side super-delegates are on her side...
But even if he now does not stand any chance of winning, he should stay, in case Hillary gets caught in the sacandals before the end.

His campaign has been a lot more effective than most people gave him credit for when he announced. He's run a tough campaign, increased awareness and forced Hillary to alter her views on certain issues. He's not quitting, has a big war chest and I predict will still win his share of primaries before it's over. He won't win the nomination but that's OK. Nobody gave him a chance from the get-go anyway. My dilemma is going to be whether to hold my nose and vote for Clinton or follow my conscience and waste a vote by going 3rd party.

 

[Johan]

I wouldn't have said so if the Republican nominee was an establishment candidate (such as Rubio, Kasich or Romney) but since it's gonna be an outsider (Trump) I'd say a 3rd party vote = a vote for Trump

 

[Jack Davenport]

I haven't paid that much attention to the model number but Jeb Bush said something to Trump in a debate about his 767 and I assumed he knew what he was talking about. Just an example of what happens when you listen to a Bush.

 

[Jack Davenport]

Trump just posted this new ad on Instagram lol

What's Marco Rubio's political future now?

 

[Jack Davenport]

I think Marco is going to do what all former senators do. Become a lobbyist or consultant and get rich. He hasn't had much money in his life. Then he will jump back into the political arena.

Or maybe Trump will tap him for VP :1orglaugh

I like Rubio. When he said something about the "children of the Reagan generation coming of age" or something to that effect I got the closest thing to a thrill up my leg ala Chris Matthews.

Rubio was Kennedyesque and gets it. There was a reason the Hillary camp didn't want to face him in the general but we'll see.

They wanted Trump, they got him.

 

[Jack Davenport]

I think people got a little too caught up in the platitudes of Marco's speech. He still took his fair share with jabs at Trump with the "angry voices" crap. Nice speech, he could have left some of it out. The angry voices have spoken. Loud and clear. Got it Nikki Haley?

Yeah there were the platitudes but again, he knew what was up. So he had insider info, but on foreign policy he was <boom> <boom> <boom> on point. He knows the difference between Iran and Iraq, knows the capabilities of our military (we haven't done 'carpet bombing' since vietfuckingnam) as well as the threats they face throughout the world and knows what the nuclear triad is.

Whatever. The republican primary voters have made their bed. They wanted an insurgent. If Trump loses all 57 states in november they have no one to blame but themselves.


Hillary 2016.

Bill O’Reilly: Trump won in Florida because he’s ‘more authoritarian’ and ‘voters want a punishment’


Fox News host Bill O’Reilly asserted on Tuesday that Donald Trump had soundly won the Republican presidential primary in Florida because he been the “more authoritarian” candidate, and that voters had showed that they wanted “a punishment” along with a victory.

“It was no surprise that Trump won in Florida,” O’Reilly told Fox News anchor Bret Baier moments after the network called the state for the Republican billionaire. “The reason I think that Trump won in Florida is because he comes across as more authoritarian — not authoritative — authoritarian.”

According to O’Reilly, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was never able to overcome the perception that an outsider was needed “to punish the Republican establishment.”

“But more importantly to take it to Hillary Clinton,” he continued. “I think the turning point in this race for Trump was when he attacked both Hillary and Bill Clinton a few months ago when they started the sexist stuff, and he just laid them out. I think a lot of people saw that and said, ‘You know what? This guy can punish as well as win.'”

“And in this angry age,” O’Reilly added, “voters want a punishment along with a victory.”

2. Of or relating to a governmental or political system, principle, or practice in which individual freedom is held as completely subordinate to the power or authority of the state, centered either in one person or a small group that is not constitutionally accountable to the people.
3. Exercising complete or almost complete control over the will of another or of others:

Johan, I enjoy reading your posts and you seem to be passionate.

But there's a fucked up country somewhere that needs minding.

 

[Jack Davenport]

I heard O'Reilly say that last night

O'Reilly doesn't know jack.

Just like his Killing Reagan book was hooey.

Heard him say what?

I tolerate O'Reilly more than I listen to him.

And I don't catch him alot these days.

 

[Jack Davenport]

That Trump is an authoritarian.

 

[sean miguel]

That Trump is an authoritarian.

Oh sorry, I overloked Johan's quoted website as usual. I do look at what he actually types.

Yes, we just want an authoritarian.

Wasn't it liberals in the mainstream media lamenting that this wasn't China and that Obama couldn't just implement what was best for us?


I have sympathy for the stupid and the uninformed (I can't fault them for being disengaged) but it's the true believers who need to be addressed..

and by addressed, I mean countered at every turn, up to and including Will's civil war scenario.

 

[Jack Davenport]

I voted for Cruz yesterday. If Kasich and his daddy Mitt try this brokered convention shit, I have no doubt that Cruz will do the right thing and pledge his delegates to Trump, that is if he is losing significantly at the end of the primaries ..
Thanks estab GOP. They actually turn our primaries into a bullshit system of coalitions or parliamentary process.

Trump/Cruz 2016

 

[sean miguel]

I guarantee you Cruz would never do that. His ego would never allow it. And vice versa.
