Let's assume Trump doesn't get nod and runs independent. If he takes 25% of the dem vote and 40 rep vote from 2012 in each state, it would cause AZ/GA/NC to go blue. Indiana, Missouri, Montana, SC, and Mississippi would take weeks to call. Trump still wouldn't win any states. If you raise the dem portion to 35 and reps stay the same, TRump could actually win

Zelder posted:People in this very thread are in so deep on the Trump Express that it's making them unironically shill for him, it's ker-razy. It's a testament to how intensely unlikable or trustworthy american politicians are that rear end in a top hat vanity campaigms by people who arent establishment politicians see such bipartisan love. You saw and see it with the romney campaign/this round of primaries on the conservative side, and you see it now on the progressive side. Neither group are enthusiastic about establishment choices, they just vote against the side making "crazy" campaign promises. I mean, in the past few pages someone said "I don't like hillary enough to pay 2 dollars for a bumper sticker, but I'l vote for her because she's sane [not a republican]". That's the kind of apathy one should tolerate for deciding who you want to win the superbowl, not voting for the leader of the worlds strongest and most influential country. ....and thats why wr need Sanders/Trump 2016: gently caress Career Politicians.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Bernie has been in politics for over 30 years. Jeremy Corbyn is seen as a political outsider who is neing backstabbed by his own party. He has also been in politics for decades. The mark of a Career Politician is that of someone who sees being an elected official as a nine-to-five; You push for fiscal stances your lobbyists want, make vague promises on social stances your voters want, you collect your checks and go have a drink with the other jesters. When people see Hillary making a liberal change-of-heart on the campaign trail as emails are released revealing internal support for Tony "loving" Blair, they see a career politician. When voters see people like Corbyn and Sanders run without a lobbyist treasure trove, bus it to events where they hold passionate speeches for anyone who comes (2700 or not), and have decades of unwavering support and action for leftist policies (even as supposed center-left parties try to backstsb them), they see a genuine supporter of their beliefs. Not a blairite or democrat.

I don't know where you come from but most people never give any money to a politician they vote for. It's bizarre that you take "I'm not going to buy a sticker (especially a full year plus before an election) but I'll vote" as "apathy". I think Obama might have set a recent record of individual donations from like 10 million people? Which would be under 1/6 of the votes he got.

I guess, if you want to be pedantic about words to describe "people are sick of politicians who dont enact popular policies when given the chance to, because thats not their real job". What was the excuse given when the democrats had a supermajority but waffled over "bipartisanship" untill the seats rebalanced and they could safely support progressive policies again?

It's cute to see someone claiming people who have near continuously held office since before I was born aren't "career politicians". And I was old enough to vote in 2008. Reminds me of that guy who tried to claim "illegal" = "thing I dislike" (which was said about some sports thing at that).

I guess it's easier to argue over the specific word used, rather than face the fact that there's only one liberal in the election, and its not hillary. (Fishmech gets a pass on this because its kinda his gimmick)

I don't know why Bernie has to be a Washington Outsider. He isn't running as a Republican. As far as I know his campaign never alludes to it. Not that that stops certain of his supporters from trying that route (and Fox News from describing his campaign as based on incredible anger).

Yes when you say something entirely wrong, people are going to point it out, don't get your jimmies in a twist over it. Try thinking things through before you use a term that means the opposite of what people are. It'd be like saying "people like Donald Trump because he's a leftist". Also what are you smoking that you think hillary Clinton isn't the very model of a liberal?

FAUXTON posted:He gives a tremendous amount of fucks when they're speaking Spanish. Am I having another Canadian disconnect here? Trump's immigration policy is retarded, but I don't think it's racist. Speaking for my own country, I wish we had more Latino immigrants because every single one I've met is a hard working, awesome person, but I still want them to arrive through a [simplified] immigration process instead of just wandering across the border. If illegal immigration were a significant issue in Canada, I'd expect the government to handle it instead of ignoring it. I still don't understand how Trump's immigration policy is racist. It's dumb as gently caress to be sure, but enforcing the border cannot be racist in and of itself. Build a wall on our border for all I care; it'll help the gun smuggling problem.
