"It’s more challenging for a poor child in Harlem without parental guidance in a school that’s falling apart than it is for some white kid out in Garden City,"

To be fair to O'Reilly here he's at least acknowledging that black kids from a run-down area have it harder than white kids from a rich area and that investment is needed to rectify this. He goes about saying it in a lovely way for sure ("tattoos on their foreheads"), but the interactions I've generally had with right-leaning Americans (I'm British myself) have shown me that many seem to think that blacks are trapped in poverty due to a combination of their own moral and intellectual failings coupled with being hooked on welfare, and if they only "worked hard like me" they'd be successful but they're too stupid and lazy. I guess I have low expectations but I was at least a little bit pleasantly surprised to see a racist shithead with a national platform acknowledge external factors are at play with regards to black poverty.

I agree somewhat. It's like O'Reily almost had a salient point about the lack of infrastructure and revenue to support it, in poor communities (although I don't know I would have used Harlem cause on it's worst day it's still part of New York) but then he takes a hard right turn into assholeville with "black kids have tattoos on their foreheads!".

And in defense of Trump, his plan for bringing back jobs to those kinds of communities, do not seem to involve high skill or high paying jobs, and he's operating under the plan that "a lovely job is better than no job".

Yeh he's still a complete racist shithead, he seemed to be implying that poor blacks are so uneducated and feral that they're not capable of even the most basic jobs, and I do remember how he went to a black restaurant and was amazed that it wasn't like feeding time at the zoo. But he showed a deeper understanding and more nuanced view than 90% of the American right wing (a low bar for sure) in mentioning the lack of infrastructure being the major impediment rather than culture or whatnot.

This is partly correct. If Trump loses IN he has no remaining path to 1237.

However, the poll that had him up 8 in Cali also showed Cruz/Kasich winning a large number of CDs anyway, meaning he could win IN and still whiff depending on how the geography turns out.

Having said that, he only needs (some number between 1200-1220 depending on how many unbounds he picks off), and if it turns out he gets 1220 pledged + 17 unbounds who go on CNN supporting him the media will do the math.

I gave Trump ~90 delegates in California and had him underperform in both WV and NM and still ended up giving him around 1170. I think Trump loses Indiana, but the high 30's number of delegates he'd win there if he won it is enough to set him on a path to 1237 before the nomination.

BLITHERING IDIOT AND HARDCORE DURIAN APOLOGIST. LET ME TELL YOU WHY THIS SHIT DON'T STINK EVEN THOUGH WE ALL KNOW IT DOES BECAUSE I'M SUPER CULTURED.

The NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking poll was conducted online April 4 through April 10, 2016 among a national sample of 12,692 adults aged 18 and over, including 11,204 who say they are registered to vote. Respondents for this non-probability survey were selected from the nearly three million people who take surveys on the SurveyMonkey platform each day.

At that point, it's just a butter delivery mechanism and I'd rather have something like a Ritz cracker for that, which tastes fine on its own.

The only reason to be eating Matzo is that it's Passover and you are Jewish.

Oh god, it's me, I'm the one doing food chat. I'm sorry. :sad:
