you know, the sad thing is

I really wish I could respect the GOP and Democrats. I mean I'm sure the Republican Parties had some good ideas/policies before the Reaganites systematically kicked that to the curb. Like, something actually debate worthy instead of mudslinging.... or am I just being naive and its always been a zoo?

No, as most of the population of those states you're thinking of is urban, i.e. suburban or straight up in actual cities.


Only Vermont, Mississippi and Maine are majority rural states. Even Wyoming is 65% urban and a state like North Dakota is 59.9% urban.

The state doesn't have to be majority rural to elect a senator with a disproportionate amount of rural backing/interests/etc. This is especially true where rural communities tend to vote together such that a 60/40 split in the metro regions is easily overcome.

My guess is, with Rand shedding more of his Paultard bona fides Jeb! is trying to slide into his place as the natural candidate for technolibertarian dweebs.

I've seen some reddit-type Paulites going over to Sanders as their favored "anti-establishment" type candidate who is anti-war and ok with legalizing weed. Of course, that's surely a minority, but it's interesting nonetheless.

If it's any comfort, I doubt this RSF will stay in place all the way up to November 2016. We're still early enough in the primary season that nothing that's going on really matters, Trump's antics are just making them fun and Bernie's rise is getting people a little fired up - both advents that lend themselves well to shitposting and throwing catchphrases around.

If it turns up the volume around here on the August 6th Trump Debates then I'm all for it.

They were, until the Dems got absolutely creamed in last year's midterms. They have quite a margin to make up now. If they take the Senate back, it will be by a very slim margin; it could even wind up a 50-50 split.

Communist! Though they are pretty good.

Actually, the best sandwich under the official Wisconsin definition of a sandwich is obviously a bacon cheeseburger, with regional variations on type of cheese and extra condiments. This is probably the only thing ever I'd agree with Walker on, but a proper medium rare burger with crispy bacon and sharp cheddar is probably the closest you can get to heaven in your mouth.

We might differ on other condiments, but assuming everything else is cooked to perfection I would like a little bit of lettuce and some raw red onion to make it crunchy.

Because the primaries are already underway. If you don't live in the US I can understand how this would be confusing but the election circus starts well over a year before the actual elections. In some cases people basically campaign since the previous elections they didn't win (Romney).

They really aren't. While 2010 was a GOP wave there aren't that many seats up for reelection that would be solid Dem steals. If the Dems have a good turnout then retaking the Senate could happen (unlike the House) but it's by no means a think that will happen if/when the Dems take the White House.

Actually most if the thread has been making fun of the latest thing that a Republican candidate has said. Like at least 75% I'd guess.
