So, I am a center left person. I don't think Bernie will win the primary and I don't really want to vote for Hillary.

That said, Christie and Kasich are the only people I could vote for. I don't trust trump not to go full oligarchy on us and the rest are piles of poo poo.

It is going full moron to think that any of the Republican candidates would be better than Hillary. She is actually decent on a lot of issues, if not quite as good as Bernie on a lot of them. All the Republicans are terrible on basically every issue.

In the event that it is Hillary versus any Republican, you should vote for Hillary and vote for her hard, and I say this as someone who really wants Bernie to win and thinks he has a shot.

At this point, you'll be voting against the GOP, and Christie and Kasich are every bit as dangerous to the American people as Cruz or Trump.

Christie and Kasich are both dystopian hell lichs and only seem sensible by comparison to the rest of this demonic clown car.

Absolutely do not believe them on anything nice they say because it is cynical. Also if you're centre-left never vote GOP, c'mon son.

Precisely; although I would say that Kasich and Christie are probably more dangerous to the American People than Cruz or Trump, because they still have the ability to spin conservative policies as being good for the whole of society, which is a talent that's rare these days. Jeb, for instance, is terrible at it.

Just to reinforce this Kasich has signed over a dozen anti-abortion measures in to law as Ohio governor. He also tried to pull a Scott Walker and tried to strip public-sector unions of their bargaining rights. He was hard right in the 90s when he was in the House and only because the GOP has become a dystopian nightmare does he seem remotely moderate. It's Pillowpants so I am sure he has a spreadsheet somewhere that can tell him all of this.

It was pretty interesting seeing how all the different candidates dealt with such a weird gently caress up. Most candidates just ignoring it not wanting to get involved in the mess and pretty much just ignoring it, and trump being the odd one out, just doing what ever he needed to so his entrance wasn't hosed up.

Just in case anyone doubted the room was packed with donors


The regular attendance by wealthy contributors is also due in part to the control that the RNC exerted over the primary debates this cycle. The national party doles out the tickets, unlike in past years when admittance was in the hands of the television networks and local parties hosting the forums.

For all the folks bewildered by Trump-Sanders cross-over appeal:

Donald Trump - 74% (Foreign Policy, Immigration, Environment, Electoral, Education, Criminal)
Bernie Sanders - 64% (Foreign Policy, Healthcare, Science)

Only area that doesn't show up for either as major agreement is domestic (taxes and spending). I side with Cruz on domestic policy.

- Rubio malfunctions.
- Trump gets boo'ed
- Trump supports waterboarding
- Ted Cruz continues to lie about Ben Carson and Iowa.

The best part about Jeb being so far behind is that he can attack anybody.

Also, unrelated, but I was lolling that Jeb would preemptively attack a foreign country. If by some miracle he became the nominee, the DNC could just use nothing but his own quotes in attack ads
