Just wait until he unleashes his media mastery and cult of personality on the dip-shits who can't be bothered to vote in the primaries. The kind of morons in the Google survey Joementum posted who answered "None of the Above" who are also in the majority BTW. You people had better wake up and realize that Trump is at his WEAKEST now, not his strongest.

I guess Boosted has managed to compartmentalize the issues he was having accepting that Trump planned to set up extra-judicial squads of brownshirts to round of darkies in the night, and go forward with his Trumplust. I assume that container now also holds the whole "Muslims should be tracked and have to wear special badges saying they're Muslim" issue that logically should also be troubling him

Patter Song posted:If Kerry had been in the lead in 2004, there could've been a hilarious problem. New York State's electors cast their votes, all of them, for "John L. Kerry." John Kerry's middle initial is F. Had Kerry won in 2004 with New York state holding the deciding margin, we'd probably have seen a wonderful court case where Republicans argued that New York voted for some other guy named John Kerry and that there was no electoral majority. Hahahahah Trump is going to kill it in the North East.(Thats if he's still around then... Sr. Grampy Sr. may have been deployed)

Boosted's posts are but a pale shadow of the shitposting of Paradol Ex who, among other things, sneeringly predicted Hillary would get the nomination and then lose the general to Mitt. When none of that happened, PeX claimed it wasn't his fault reality got it wrong.

So, if Trump gets the nomination are the GOP backers going to back him up with the $1 billion war chest customary of recent nominees? Or are they going to just give Hillary the election? TBH though, Trump can win this thing with his own money and tell everyone to gently caress themselves, unless he is cheap, like some people say he is.

One thing to keep in mind about people's attention span in politics: Canadians complained like mad about having to pay attention to politics through the ordeal of a 78 day long election. The entire election played out during roughly the timeframe of the fall of Jeb and rise of Trump. For a certain segment of the American population, though, the early Republican debates were just as important as the election itself: the right. (And political junkies in general, of course  ). And the far-right found their man, while the mainstream found that the establishment has nothing. Well, part of the far-right, I should say, since the evangelicals just saw their man deflate like a balloon when reality intruded on the fact that their entire subculture is batshit crazy and are currently literally begging for someone to convincingly pander to them. The far right is very vocal online. Not many other people are paying much attention to politics, and those that do don't really have much to pay attention to other than Trump's antics at the moment.

The thing which Joementum and Nate Silver don't get is, the R and D primaries have switched over. In old R primaries, the eastablishment would win while grassroots would win D primaries. Now, establishment wins D primaries and grassroots wins R.

The loving rear end in a top hat is a date rapist. I don't loath this piece of poo poo because he is a center-of-right politician or because he panders or because he doesn't support my interests. Anyone with any sort of power in this worthless country would slice my throat and my interests to get ahead. They don't give a poo poo about truth or fairness or equality. So in this respect Obama is nothing special. So that's not why I loathe him. Joementum posted:Actually, I think you're find, Pex Was Right(TM) quote:Well, and like I've said, I did pretty much get it right. The fact that Hillary and Romney didn't get the nominations are pretty irrelevant. My predications were based on the most logical progression of events and it's not my fault that Hillary hosed up so bad she lost her nomination or that for the first time in ever the republican leadership failed to get republican voters to do what they wanted them to do. No one could have seen either of those things coming.
