so I was at work, and I heard people at the watercooler say that Trump donated to NAMBLA. These are some smart dudes, they really know what they are talking about. Is there any truth to the claim that he donated to NAMBLA?

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

That's not how this works. In the minds of people like Freepers Cruz stabbed them in the back. They don't forgive or forget that sort of thing.

The question for the GOP will be 2018. They will be very successful and almost certainly control both houses of congress at that point. But the real fight will be in the republican primaries, do they veer more towards electability or purity? Another double down on raw conservatism will be disastrous for 2020.

That was the funniest thing ever. And then they couldn't stop him by disavowing his racism because that's PC liberal thought control, they couldn't stop him by warning his rhetoric would be poison in the general because he's just saying what everyone's thinking and Republicans only lose when they disappoint America by not being racist enough. And they couldn't even use their media empire to expose how dangerously ignorant he is about government and foreign policy because you can't trust the media, whenever you don't like what you hear on the news it's because they're making up all their so-called facts, you gotta go with your feelings.

It was glorious.

So, it's entirely possible to have the election called before California closes, but that hinges mostly on Georgia: http://www.270towin.com/maps/2Rg0W

The only problem here is Florida is a fucky state where they tabulate votes by tying them to a dog and then seeing whatever piece of meat the dog eats or whatever. They probably won't be able to call FL until well after CA has closed unless Hillary straight up blows him out by 20%.

I think they were really legitimately concerned that Trump would run as an independent and take ~20% of GOP voters with him if they did that. they had zero good options; if they wanted to stop Trump they would have to go back in time, stop all the vile anti-Obama hatred before it really started, and prevent the Tea Party from ever existing.

It would have been waayyyy better for them if he'd run as a stupid rear end independent because he'd have rage-quit by this point if he didn't have the begrudging support of one of the most powerful political forces to have ever existed on the planet

a bunch of middle-aged poor white folks too. my girlfriend's family is them and they are Trump fans, not really because they like Trump, but because they buy everything Fox says about Hillary Clinton 100%.

the older ones though, they are Trump fans, because they are racist

I'd like to see her try to get the +21 you get from the San Franciso -> New York card, which coincidentally virtually guarantees the +10 longest continuous line bonus

Huffpo puts that at the bottom of all their Trump articles after they had to go back on their "We are covering Trump only as an electoral curiosity" policy.
