Hello friends!!!

Checking back in since we're starting to get in the swing of things.

Donald Trump is literally my #1 choice for the 2016 South Carolina GOP Presidential Primary Vote by default right now by virtue of not being as worthless as or as much of a piece of poo poo as any of his officially declared opponents.

I am a tad worried that his "gently caress YOU, MEXICANS" campaign strategy may not improve upon Mitt Romney's performance with Latino voters enough to avoid another general election loss.

Can anyone tell me in what states assisted suicide is now legal? TIA.

Oh hey I've actually been wondering what your opinion of Bernie is since he's somewhat pro-gun.

We're just now talking about how Reince (known for Hispanic/Latin@ outreach, I guess?) had to call Trump up and ask him to knock off the racism. Think it'll work?

I just think he's a functional sociopath, the idea that all sociopaths are intelligent is kind of a urban myth. Most have average or below average intelligence. What they excel at is manipulation. So no I don't think he's a idiot, I think he's a function sociopath who's desire to hold power has led him to openly agreeing to any back room deal and using any tactic necessary to gain power.

Articles like this always come off as really strange to me, discussing in earnest how People Will Respond, like those same people can't actually go and read the article and see how people are speculating on how they'll respond and have the article itself affect how they'll respond. Am I the only one that gets weirded out by those meta-analysis pieces?

While usually true, Trump does not care how other will respond. He only speaks the truth, as benefits the greatest businessman in the world.

Personally I'm looking forward to this backfiring. It's nice the the Party is trying to get the press to push the idea that they're not on board for Trump's Mexican Rapist Crusade, but it's going to take more than a 45 minute phone call to muzzle Trump. It would not surprise me if he comes out an triples down on murderous, raping, illegals.

Obviously I probably disagree with Sanders WAAAAY more than with Hillary Clinton seeing as he's really far to the left, yet I would be the least upset if he was the person the GOP lost to since he is a genuine and honest person and not a horrible and corrupt human being like Hillary Clinton or a complete and utter moron like Martin O'Malley.

As for his gun views being better though, does not matter to me because a POTUS Bernie Sanders would still nominate leftist SCOTUS Justices and Heller and McDonald were shamefully only 5-4 instead of 9-0 in favor of our second amendment rights. President only matters re: 2nd amendment to me in that the President gets to pick the people who REALLY matter re: 2nd amendment - the justices.

I disagree with him on just about everything but on a personal level I like him and I wouldn't be sick for too long if he was the winner next Nov.

But let's get real, Wall Street wants Hillary Clinton to be President.

Yes he did. Priebus led the creation of the the 2012 autopsy report which said that the GOP had to make inroads with Hispanics and Asian Americans. Rubio's immigration bill was supposed to be the big push on this, but then someone realized that Steve King is still an elected member of the Republican party and the whole thing blew up.

That quote from Bush about people having to work longer hours was a little ambiguous, even in the same article he had someone clarifying right after that he meant people should get full-time employment instead of just part-time. How he's supposed to accomplish that remains ambiguous, of course.

I can see this being a reasonable thing if you think all the other candidates also think everyone crossing the border because of the American promise of new opportunities is a dirty rapist, and Trump is just the only one willing to speak his mind. At the risk of fishmechin', being an honest racist is technically better by some standards than being a dishonest racist.

Did you watch the video? It seems pretty clear that he thinks, with a complete disregard for pesky things like facts, that a lack of productivity from the American worker is somehow the cause of a lack of growth.

Whoa now, let's not go putting words into The Donald's mouth. While he's certain that the people coming across the boarder are drug dealers, murderers, and rapists, he is vaguely aware of statistical probability. Which is why he assumes that some of them are good people. Law of averages and all.

Right, so at the risk of repeating myself, the differing priorities and agendas of a Sanders or a Clinton administration would in fact have differing results in policies. The issue is everyone who's saying "they're both Democrats, what's the difference?".

It's pretty much guaranteed that Bernie would compromise more than Hillary would and his end result might not be terribly different from hers.

OK, this is correct and I was aware of it and I should have been more explicit and said that, "since the idea blew up in Rubio's face, they've done nothing to indicate it's true and have run away from hispanic outreach as fast as they could". I think that would be more accurate. Right now, most RW talk radio is praising Trump for his courageous stand on rape happy immigrants. I really want some RWM to specifically ask Priebus about this and get him to either support or reject hispanic outreach.
