Yeah. As maniacal as Trump is, a Hillary presidency is far more a canary in a coal mine for American democracy. It's not even a vote between the lesser of two evils, it's a vote between Mammon and Lucifer.

very excited to hear Trump nicknames for Hillary or Bernie.

i'm most interested in seeing trump actually trying to campaign instead of coasting on his opponents self-destructing one by one. the man can use his massive name recog and 24/7 media grasp to motivate people who share his views but that won't fly in the GE were only like ~30% of Americans agree with him on anything.

So far he's spent more time talking about his brand and telling dumb stories than actually focusing on tearing down other candidates.

hmm which do i prefer - bandaid from trump or hillary twisting a knife in the wound. if only everyone would vote PSL

america is the most powerful economy in the world, it has the clout to make protectionism work and the only reason its not being done is because the ruling class don't have a problem with making the american people into paupers

Trumps business is real estate - those giant buildings can't be outsourced. the only way his empire survives is if there's a large enough american middle class to stay at his hotels, buy his condo's and gamble at his casinos. he's for himself, but his interests converge more with the american people than those of his own class, hence why they hate him for breaking ranks and are trying to stop him.

the middle class have nothing to do with Trump's income

Love this meme were people say that literally a single statement will change a bunch of voters sides. If you want to see what might cause people to rethink look at trends, not one offs. Trying to paint HRC as "Anti-jobs" won't work when you have 1 statement that is qualified half a second later.

No one clip is going to change anyone's minds, no, but Hillary should probably avoid feeding soundbites to someone who looks to be running as an economic populist immune to being bought and sold by Wall Street the way she is.

Yes.

It's sometimes hysterical, like everything with Jeb Bush and when Rubio made peeing pants tiny hand jokes and the great Trump Steaks Scandal. Mostly it's a mix of surreal and bad.

If Hillary wins, you're at least likely to see more of the same that we've seen under Obama, mostly because she wants midterm elections to not be terrible for the Dems and wants to be reelected two years after that. She's not an idiot; she knows she's not going to get any traction on the right anymore. In other words, the country will tread water. If Trump is elected, he's likely to slash the social safety net, because he's a Republican and he'll pretty much need to if he wants any support from congressional Republicans who haaaaaate him. I also think someone with his ridiculous temperament and thin skin shouldn't be in control of the U.S.' foreign policy and armed forces. So for me the "lesser of two evils" choice is pretty clear, between Hillary and Trump.

he's not running as an economic populist, he's running as goldwater 2.0. all of his little throw offs to protectionism (which he outright says he is not) mean nothing when buried under a massive pile of white nationalism.

this doesn't work because the majority of lower class low income people are minorities that despise Trump. although I will say you are technically correct in and that he's a populist for a very specific demo.

I don't think you actually know what white nationalism is, Venom Snake. Trump's other policies are not "buried under a huge pile of it", he hardly even mentions the wall or illegal immigration (which are still not white nationalism ffs) in comparison to some of his other stuff nowadays

A majority of his value comes from real estate, yes. But to think that the middle class have direct impact on the value of huge buldings in Manhattan is kind of silly.

his "customers" that he relies on are other businesses, not the middle class

As of this morning, more than 1.125m Floridians have cast ballots in the GOP presidential preference primary.

Here�s the breakdown by race/ethnicity:

971.6k white Republicans have already voted; that�s 86.3% of the total votes cast in the GOP PPP. Thus far, 112.6k Republican Hispanics have voted, or 10% of the total.

Overall, 24.5% of registered Republicans (active and inactive) have already voted.

The overall 1.125m Republican ballots cast to date includes 484.6k voters who did not participate in the 2012 PPP, or 43% of the vote total. Nearly 85% of these voters who didn�t bother (as well as some who weren�t registered) to vote in 2012 in the primary are white.

The overall GOP total votes cast also includes 3.5k of the party�s 307k inactive voters; 73% are white and 22% are Hispanic.

One last demographic breakdown for the GOP voters who�ve voted early in-person or by absentee ballot: they�re old. Nearly 64% of votes cast by registered Republicans in Florida�s PPP are at least 60 years of age. Slightly more than 4% � only 46k voters � are under 30. Of that younger GOP crowd, 80% are white.

I was alive for the first Reagan administration, and for the Swiftboating of John Kerry. I was genuinely scared Reagan would start a nuclear war. (Sound check: "We have outlawed Russia. Bombing will begin in 5 minutes.") So, been here before. Still terrified of Trump, still think he's at most a mouse hair away from being a fascist.

I think it's more indicative of ennui with regard to the state of the American political system than your politics becoming conservative. For instance, I'm pessimistic about anything good coming out of this election cycle, but there's little likelihood of my pulling the lever for the GOP anytime soon.

And Vic Ballard was both a terrible person and excellent Mayor. Indiana used to be pretty complicated for a liberal, but helpfully all the good Republicans in the state got turfed out by dark money and replaced by lunatics so now I can vote straight ticket Democrat and save myself some time. Lugar was the old school kind of Republican that was concerned primarily about governance and wouldn't tolerate endless shutdown quagmires.

We can at least rest assured that Pence is broadly despised and will never see one of his pet projects passed until he manages to chase off EVEN MORE young people and recent grads
