dunno if this was posted itt but when the Georgia GOP selected their delegates, the cruz faction completely rules lawyered the trumpites out of their delegates http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2016/04/16/donald-trump-gets-outmaneuvered-by-ted-cruz-forces-in-georgia/ quote:“This is a very insider-driven process, so it’s naturally difficult for outsiders to affect the outcome,” Jack said. “We are investigating concerns of delegate suppression in a few Congressional district conventions, as we want to ensure everyone was treated fairly.”

Of course, they will not be bound to uphold this promise, but if they do it almost certainly means Trump is the nominee. :itshappening:

Its been funny watching the talking heads ask Trump supporters and delegates how they're going to win the general election because they fall into two categories, either they grow quiet and stare into middle distance or they immediately inflate like a puffer fish and exclaim something akin to "BETTER THAN HILLARY, WE NEED JOBS, HE'LL TEAR UP NAFTA"

Crossposting from the Gay Marriage thread, but Trump decided to weigh in on the NC Trans Bathroom law:Trump posted:“I had a feeling that question was going to come up. North Carolina did something that was very strong, and they are paying a big price and there’s a lot of problems. One of the best answers I heard was from a commentator yesterday, saying ‘leave it the way it is. There have been very few problems.’ North Carolina, what they are going through with all of the business that’s leaving and the strife– and that’s on both sides. You leave it the way it is. There have been very few complaints they way it is. People go, they use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate, there has been so little trouble, and the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic punishment they’re taking.

That's it guys, Trump is trumping to the left in order to trump the middle ground for the general. At least until there's some Twitter backlash and he changes his position #presidentmillenialsdeserve

Until he changes his actual proposal that he's been using to reassure the GOP as much as he can I'm not buying the tax thing I do genuinely believe he doesn't give a poo poo about LGBT issues, which isn't as bad as Cruz but still isn't good. For a guy who is obsessed with business, the NC bill probably does look phenomenally dumb

He has been raised with a really dangerous messiah-complex, and would frankly do everything he could to turn us into an oppressive theocratic regime. His lofty, bombastic, lilting preacherspeak really reminds me of Adam Sutler in the V for Vendetta movie. It is legitimately terrifying. Freakazoid_ posted:He's said months ago he would raise taxes on the rich. That's like his only good political opinion. But I agree it won't happen. Nope. Not a chance. But is interesting when he says this stuff, because you know it is perplexing to his supporters' lizard brains.

Even conservative economists were going "holy poo poo, these cuts are ridiculous". He wants to massively cut income taxes and capital gains taxes across the board, but he wants to remove the carried interest loophole that lets some extremely wealthy people pay a rate of 20% instead of 39.5%. He wants to cut the top income tax rate from 39.5% to 25%. Under his plan people who used the carried interest loophole would pay 25% instead of 20%. So he is "raising taxes on rich people." Technically true, but incredibly misleading. Trump is the greatest politician of our generation.

I thought Tubman being put on the $20 would be funny enough on its own, but Carson found a way to make it even funnier. http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/20/polit...linkId=23683401 quote:Former presidential candidate Ben Carson disagrees with the plan to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, and on Wednesday suggested another note for her: the $2 bill. Dude is the ultimate "my black friend" for the right.

Just because Trump decided to not be complete garbage on one issue doesn't mean he is pivoting. He's just trying to be more careful after going full Hitler last month. Suddenly throwing a bone to lgbt people isn't going to convince anyone to join him. And it'll piss off Cruz supporters as well

Trump would rather have fake credibility on business acumen than fake credibility with the GOP's radical clerics. If he said it was a good idea to drive massive amounts of business out of your state for the equivalent of ~cooties~ then he'd pick up people hitting him on the whole "successful businessman" facade while not winning over the crusader wing of the GOP.

It's astounding how whenever Trump says something that isn't 100% in line with GOP bigots, the entire thread explodes with "OH poo poo HE'S PIVOTING FOR THE GENERAL AND HE'S GOING TO CONVINCE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR HIM!" I can't imagine there are many people out there who haven't already formed an opinion on Trump, given that the entirety of the media has been The Trump Show for several months now. Trevor Noah had a good segment on this yesterday.

I can't imagine there are many people out there who haven't already formed an opinion on Trump, given that the entirety of the media has been The Trump Show for several months now. For me at least, the surprise is more that he can say something quasi-reasonable without getting murdered by his fanatical voter base than it is any thought that he may be pivoting in any way. When he literally vilified Cruz for his stance on social programs and said he wasn't 'going to let people die in the streets' during one of those debates I think I audibly gasped. I have to imagine a Trump supporter just blacked out during that sentence and kept existing afterward. It's fascinating.

Witness blasts House fetal tissue panel for not demanding that video faker testify under oathquote:I find it curious given the not-so-distant history of this strikingly similar scenario that this panel has not demanded sworn testimony of the accusers, the latest batch of anti-abortion accusers as you've asked of us, Chair Blackburn. You haven't asked for that, haven't asked for them to go under oath and that seems strange to me, particularly when they come up with a similar tale about so-called sale of fetal tissue, which again is a lie. This suggests to me that someone is afraid to put David Daleiden and his star witness, Holly O'Donnell, under oath because, as we saw with the Dean Alberti fiasco, when penalties of perjury attaches, sometimes instead of fiction the actual truth comes out.
