When you think about it, it is ultimately you leftists who will be most responsible for PRESIDENT Donald Trump.

Your chickens are coming home to roost.

Your insistence on going with the "cool" guy. Your constant marrying of D.C. and Hollywood. Your glorification of hype, social media, glamour, and glitz. Your relentless campaign to get more and more of the dregs of society into the habit of voting.

On one magical day next November, all the fruits of your labor will come together in one gloriously triumphant evening, as we reach the logical conclusion of your perversion of politics in America.

The 45th President of the United States - Donald Mother loving Trump.

Dems always run hip dudes like Kerry and Gore, whereas republicans traditionally run detached, political masterminds like Reagan and Bush Jr.

Polls won't be accurate until the primary season is upon us. Most normal people haven't even bothered to investigate their options yet. Right now polls are mostly measuring what name people heard most recently. That's why it's all Trump/Clinton all the time.

I find your faith in humanity amusing. Just LOL if you don't think MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of your Obama voters are sheep who will happily flock to the new, hip, glamour candidate. They'll eat up his new reality show, Trump 2016. He'll churn out even more additional new voters too.

Your biggest mistake is thinking that Trump is hip or that average folks/moderates think he is hip. He's an old, worn-out fool and he doesn't have 1/10th of, e.g., Reagan's charisma. He's not nearly slick enough to pull of any sort of coup in the general.

I am being 100% truthful about supporting Trump AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME though.

That's incredibly hilarious, and a good indicator of how sad it must be to identify as Republican these days.

Anyway, around 50%~ of Republicans think Trump is actively bad for the party, and 61% of total voters would "never, ever" vote for Trump. As a liberal, I really would love to see Trump become the GOP nominee, but unfortunately I don't think we'll be that lucky.

An average of a number of polls will almost always be a better predictor of the result than looking at any one of that sample individually.

You mentioned 538; Silver's book discusses at length how it's generally better to average the forecasts of multiple sources than to pick one out. I'm no shill for Silver's special brand of pop statistics, but on this point he's right.

I have to say, Trump's the GOP candidate I'd vote for. Sure, the entire Democratic Party machine would have to be wiped off the face of the earth by an asteroid for me to do so, but if I had to chose a Republican I'd chose him.

As a 90's kid I despise the Bush family and I'm really not looking forward to Iraq War III, Walker's literally a puppet with a Koch hand up his rear end, and a vote for anyone else would be throwing my vote away. Don't get me wrong I'd be getting blackout drunk after I did that, but I see Trump as the Chaotic Neutral option in a field of evil.

Since I doubt that both Clinton and Sanders will suddenly cease to exist, I can sit back and watch the madness from the sidelines. :suspense:

Yes, you read that correctly, your attitudes on poverty are why there are so many poor people in this country. I hope you have live on minimum wage some day. That way you'd have some grip on reality.

Kasich supports the Balanced Budget Amendment which means one of three things: 1) he knows it'll never pass, so he's being dishonest, 2) he doesn't actually support it, so he's being dishonest, 3) he thinks it's a legitimately good idea which makes him insane and happy to light on fire most of the (non-military, I assume) public sector spending in the US, so education and welfare.

Interesting Trump round-up

quote:

The New York Times has been acquainting readers with the long and operatic career of Donald J. Trump, including an article Saturday about previous racial controversies Trump has been involved in.

But there are so many of these controversies that it's hard to get them all in one piece. Trump has been accused of racism for literally as long as he's been in public life — in his capacities as a real estate developer, a TV star, and now as a politician. At various times, he's insulted African Americans, the Japanese, Native Americans, and, now, Latinos.

Through it all, Donald Trump has maintained that he is "the least racist person you will ever meet."
