Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I think if he picks a Washington insider it could hurt his standing with the Trumpstaffel. The same thing happened to Reagan in 1976 when he pre-announced that he was going to pick Richard Schweiker as his VP if he was nominated at the convention. Schweiker was a moderate Republican and Reagan picked him to win over Ford delegates (they weren't bound), but it caused some backlash among his most conservative delegates who saw it as a betrayal.

Ah. He has no reason to announce before convention but he hasn't needed a reason for anything.

THE RACE FOR SECOND!

Rubio's talking points:

- Caucuses are weird.
- Trump under performed, Mitt Romney did better in Nevada.
- The Majority of Republicans don't want Donald Trump.
- "You don't win the nomination by how many states you win."
- We will pick up lots of delegates on Super Tuesday.
- Donald Trump doesn't even have any policies.

The VP pick is always announced before the convention if the nominee is certain. They use it for a pre-convention media bump.

One of the funniest things about the Bernie Sanders thread is how they entirely base who should be the VP pick on the most obvious pandering to demographic groups.

Obviously a bunch were throwing out women to be VP when one of the Berntards comes along and says "Read my lips: Slave Descendent". Someone who wanted Warren said "More like read my lips: Token Blackie". I guess it really is true that liberals are the real racists who can't see minorities as individuals rather than an undifferentiated mass!

Oh. It'd be absolute madness if his VP pick beefed it enough to throw the convention into uncertainty. But they're already bound right? I'm not sure how I'd actually hurt him.

I choose to believe that he thought I might find it funny and wasn't trying to be hateful, and that he feels at least a little bad about saying such a thing. He seems like a decent person in many ways even if we disagree. I was hurt by his comment though and I wish we lived in a country where people didn't feel the need to say things like that.

The thing is, it just isn't ok to openly hate minorities anymore. Whites will be a minority in the US in the lifetime of every poster here, President Trump or President Clinton or President anybody. It's a demographic change that none of us can stop. I don't think it's a bad thing; I'm not "looking forward to it," either. It's just a thing. It's morally neutral. I understand that it may be a source of anxiety to some people, but I would like to urge them not to worry. It's not a bad thing. We're all Americans :).
it's the artificial divisions white people created circa C17th falling away again. Whites have never been the majority. Nothing of value will be lost.

LOL even Obama knows Trump is going to roll come November.

Reports he's considering EXTREMELY Pro-Second Amendment and EXTREMELY Pro-Tenth Amendment REPUBLICAN Brian Sandoval as his nominee.

Literally the only bone thrown to his own party/base would be Sandoval's pro-choice stance. On a court that was already majority GOP for 45 years and never once banned abortion. They have upheld some restrictions, the types of restrictions Sandoval supports. Mayeb gay marriage. Sandoval was anti-gay marriage but pro "civil union" but now considers the issue "settled law" since SCOTUS has weighed in.

DO IT Obama. Nominate this guy. We'll take him. We'll find a Scalia type later to replace Ginsburg. Because in the end, you simply . . . .
