There's no way Trump doesn't at least get the nomination. What, you think he's finally going to say something outrageous that chases off his supporters? The only candidates left to challenge him at this point are Cruz and Rubio, and once he sets his sights on them he will demolish them like he demolished Jeb. I think it's already down to Cruz and Trump, but only because I think Rubio is not as well liked as the right-wing establishment likes to pretend. There isn't going to be a Jeb comeback; Friend Ben has nowhere to go but down. Who else is there?

The GOP have chipped away at every major political office in the country, and now it is far fetched they've bested us intellectually high-information Democrats for the top office in the land? Whoddathunkit!

EvanSchenck posted:Sure, but Nidal Hasan's workplace was a US military base full of US military personnel. It wasn't much of a leap for Hasan to see his victims as soldiers engaged in a war against his religion. These people were, what, clerks and health inspectors? I'm probably just giving Farook too much credit. Maybe he convinced himself that shooting local government officials in the armpit of California was a powerful blow for Islam. Or it was the largest gathering of people with little/no security presence he could think of. Or he just really loving hated them, hence the shoot n' scoot.

Well of course, but we're talking about how many guns the government will hand out at birth. No one was ever saying that the baby's relatives couldn't give them more. We're just talking about setting a legal minimum here.

Since it was a medical facility, I am assuming that the IRC was a "gun free zone" but does anyone have any proof because my facebook feed is filled with people bemoaning gun free zones as the culprit behind this.

ComradeCosmobot posted:People said he was just the temporary front-runner and he would be out of the race in favor of an establishment figure by the fall. Well, it's nearly 6 months later and the only time he wasn't leading the polls was for about two weeks when Carson was leading instead. Trump clearly has a non-zero, almost-certainly-double-digit chance of the nomination at this point. And if he has the nomination, that could give him as much as 47% of the vote to start with. C'mon, you're better than this. He can tap into the GOP nativist id all he wants, translating that level of crazy to the general without ending up with a bunch of spite votes against you no matter who the opponent is not happening.

It doesn't matter whether it was a gun free zone or not because the right will say it was anyway and no one will call them on it just like the shooting at that college in Oregon.

No, it was more that I was just wanting to see if it officially was. It is always interesting how people will find something to focus on. If this was not a gun free zone, it would then be burdening restrictions that keep people from conceal carrying. But I have yet to see any mass shooting where the perpetrator specifically chose a place because it was a "gun free zone". Almost all mass shootings that I can think of had some specific reason as to why they were chosen but "gun free zone" is never one of them.

Both groups have had organizations loudly threatening to stay home if Hillary can't actually put some actions behind her words on immigration and BLM (which she can't because of Republicans in Congress). No one has said anything remotely similar about Trump.
