Trump and Tagg Romney seem prime examples of that sort of cancer in society.

Here's a question: Let's say that the likely matchup of Trump vs Clinton goes down, and Trump gets shellacked in historical fashion: does it hurt his brand overall, or does he benefit from the insane amount of media saturation we've seen over the last year or so?

Congratulations to Iowa State Senator David Johnson for being the first elected official to publicly leave the Republican Party because Trump sucks so much. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/david-johnson-leaves-gop-trump-hitler quote:Johnson, who said he would change his registration to No Party, compared Trump’s rise to the top of the GOP ticket to the rise of Adolf Hitler in the 1930s.

CommieGIR posted:AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Of all the dumb poo poo hes said this year this was the one i thought he could most easily handwave away. From the start i took that to mean "By the very nature of criminally crossing a border, taking financial and physical risks these people are much more likely to be running from a criminal past and know they would be screened out of legal immigration options". Of course he made no attempt to frame it this way because hes dim witted. While we are at it, is there any truth to the right-wing talking point that 1/3rd of mexico said they would be interested in moving to the US when polled? Thats a scary number but they do lie a lot.

So today I learned Democratic pledged delegates are not actually bound to the candidate that they're supposedly pledged too. That factoid makes the entire Bernie superdelegate argument so completely stupid that it's unfathomable that anyone can make it with a straight face.

By most accounts, licensing is the largest single chunk of his business, and the actual owners of those properties are probably all very strongly considering (if they haven't already decided) telling him to gently caress right off as soon as they're contractually permitted to do so. Because at this point, that giant "Trump" on your hotel is almost certainly driving more customers away than it's bringing in. e: as for physical confrontations, sure, with at least one wife. but probably too much of a coward to frog up to anyone that wasn't obviously weaker. classic bully poo poo ReidRansom fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Jun 7, 2016 |

So, channeling some element of McCarthy vibes there I guess. Other poo poo that new yorkers hate include his industry-friendly stance on fracking, closed-door shenanigans, threatening to remove sheriffs if they didn't fall in line behind his gun program, etc. Typical career politician bullshit. I haven't lived in NYS in close to a decade at this point so there's probably a lot of other things people hate.

Thats a scary number but they do lie a lot. It was cherry picked from a 2012 poll that showed also that the net immigration was 0 or less, meaning there was more returning to Mexico then coming in. http://www.pewglobal.org/2014/08/26/mexican-president-pena-nietos-ratings-slip-with-economic-reform/ quote:....a representative sample of 1,000 randomly selected adults from across the country between April 21 and May 2, 2014. The poll also finds that as the immigration debate rages on in the U.S., a plurality of Mexicans (44%) believe life is better north of the border for those who migrated from Mexico. And roughly a third (34%) still say they would move to the U.S. if they had the opportunity, including 17% of Mexicans who would do so without authorization. Nonetheless, the declining net rate of migration from Mexico to the U.S. is reflected in the percentage of Mexicans who report having a friend or family member living in the U.S. – 32% today, down from 42% in 2007. And 'if they had the opportunity' is a vague term. Most do not have the chance, or can afford the traffickers. BUT SCARY MEXICANS WILL RAPE YOU BUGGABUGGABUGGA

The Evoting Service will be accessible to every American by both website and mobile device. Problems can be solved, and new laws passed, all in a matter of weeks.

Jackson Taus posted:It's worse than that - you've got to get both national parties, the relevant local parties, and frequently the state legislatures on board with any changes. In my state, if you want to change the primary calendar you'd have to either get a law through the state legislature (which would also involve moving some dates around for local town council races), or switch to a caucus system (which our local parties are not capable of handling in many jurisdictions). And in many states, the Presidential primary is the same day as state legislature or Congressional primaries. Moving those around every four years would really screw with people. There were a lot of states this cycle that changed their primary laws when the RNC held firm on its demand that anyone who went before March 1 would lose almost all of their delegates. Even the notoriously pricklish NC legislature changed their omnibus election bill (which originally pegged their primary to the same week as SC) to accommodate. Truth is: many legislators will end up being delegates and they don't want to be left out.

Sadly there really isn't a "gently caress Israel it's a loving awful country we need to condemn them and not shield them from the rest of the world" option in the 2016 election. Obama's about as good as we're going to see for a long time. Mister Macys posted:I'm Canadian, a little bit more explanation than that would be appreciated.
