Seabrook is disgusting.

It's kind of upsetting, to me, that the majority of republicans who live in my state chose Trump.

I also do not know any Trump supporters from NH. I have a co-worker from Maine who likes him, and that's it. Literally everyone I talk to says the same thing.

Does your job require more than a high school diploma? If so, that may be the reason you don't encounter many of his supporters.

Take comfort in that it was only a plurality that voted for him, while the majority voted for other candidates.

...but not that much comfort.

What? No. Cruz is physically sickening. Yes, his concession speech would be far better than Trump's, but everything up to that point would be unbearable.

Cruz is a creep. And if this (http://www.voltairenet.org/article190187.html) paranoid ranting is within a phlegm catapult of true so is everyone associated with him.

i hope cruz eventally airs ads about trump wanting to gently caress his daughter

i don't think that's an unreasonable supposition. i could easily see trump getting to a dominant position and cruz, who obviously plays by the christian moralistic playbook, feeling the need to play the ultimate - heh,heheheheheheheheheheheheheheehheehehehehehehehehehehehehe - trump card

it's not like cruz doesn't play dirty

Every woman who appears anywhere within a block of trump is a solid 9 or better. I wonder how he filters them.

Edit: I wonder how many women are voting for Cruz who aren't hardcore evangelicals doing what their husband tells them to do.

Trump actually led the republican field with those voters as well, just by like 14% as opposed to the huge amount of voters with no higher education he got.

I don't think Hillary has any better a shot than Bernie has going into the presidential race. While Bernie may be a "socialist" candidate the Republican establishment hasn't been trained for two decades to fill with with rage at the very mention of his name like Hillary. She gets the nomination and she'll draw as many republicans to the polls to vote against her as she will democrats to vote for her.

It doesn't matter who the candidate is, Republicans will respond as if they have been conditioned for decades to fill with rage at their very mention. Obama, Kerry, Gore, Bill, it doesn't matter, they all were horrible socialist, godless, heathen, scum set to take America from the good people and ruin it all out of spite.

Yeah, but as we've seen, there's a ceiling on that. It wasn't enough to beat Obama in 2008 or 2012. The shrieking, white-hot rage machine doesn't go to 11.

I mean, what is Hillary's nomination going to do? Make them even angrier than they are? If they actually did reach a higher level of impotent rage they'd all die of massive strokes.

this. pretty much every left leaning person i know likes bernie more then clinton but will vote for either in the general. the worry i have is that if bernie is the general canidate, he will lose against someone like trump. because i know my dad and others are more afraid of socialism then a fascist. it would be germany 1933.

Does this mean we get to fight fascists in the streets if the general is Bernie v Trump?

Of course every major candidate got write‐ins in the other party’s primary, but other highlights include:

Sarah Palen [sic] got a vote in the Republican primary.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio got a write‐in from Merrimack county in the Democratic primary.

Agreed. It's cool to imagine yourself in a street brawl against skin heads, and it's also cool to fantasize about shooting a home invader.

Yes and no.

Its cool if you are an immigrant in France who is also an MMA expert who teams up with other mixed-background french MMA experts to be bouncers at punk gigs.

Most everything else is not cool.

The one in a million genuine well trained/'executed' home defense with a gun is also cool but equally rare.
