In case anyone is curious, this guy right here is the co-leader for "Team Trump Hawaii" who is leading Trump's efforts in Hawaii and their 19 delegates tomorrow. https://www.facebook.com/kimos.me?fref=nf Just for reference, in 2012 they voted 45% for Romney, and in 2008 I believe it was more party insiders that just pledged all to McCain (for some reason I can't find data, but it was held in May when it was all locked up anyway). The makeup of the state is highly Mormon, but also extremely moderate, so I'm going to guess it will go Trump, but only because a) there are hardly any Republicans here, and b) those that are Republican need to be pretty enthusiastic about getting out to vote (as Hawaiians aren't likely to vote), so if Trump can turn out voters he'll likely take a win here. Bernie should win over Clinton too, with Tulsi Gabbard (a well liked Senator who has grudges with Obama and Clinton) endorsing Bernie last week after Super Tuesday. Just my two cents. If I get a chance I'll take some pics tomorrow of a local voting station near my work at lunch. Rocks fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Mar 8, 2016 |

I live in Honolulu, and my work takes me between Honolulu and Kapolei (and sometimes to Kahului/Lahaina in Maui and Kona/Hilo on the Big Island) Anyway, Hawaiians are basically non-political, and if you bring up politics they get a disgusting look on their face. I would imagine that they would lean Trump just solely to the fact that he's a "non-politician trying to stir things up". If Kasich had a presence I'm sure he could do well but I don't think anyone has even heard of him.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:he literally talked about how much he wants to murder terrorists' families but since your support for him is 100% based on spite for minorities I wouldn't expect you to have anything close to a reality-based view My support for him is based on protectionism, keynesian infrastructure investment and an end to H1B visa abuse, as well as legal weed at the federal level  Obama care is a lovely pile of poo poo. I tried to sign up for it in January with a current household income of $500/month and basically got a letter saying gently caress you. Even if I could afford it the deductibles are so high as to make it pointless. I think that removing state lines on insurance providers and negotiating for drugs would be better for my healthcare in the long run, and Trump wants to expand Medicare to cover those who can't afford private insurance.

ive been to hawaii twice, i got to see the kilauea lava back when it was flowing into the sea (i think i read it's not now) and honolulu is nice too i only went through real quick but the west shore of o'ahu seemed to be filled with native hawai'ians who did not appear to like me. north shore was chill i have a shirt from kua'aina and i ate at verna's  hawaii was cool y0 ive edited this question into minutes-old posts of mine twice, and this thread moves pretty fast, so either you didnt see it or you didnt care, but i did have a question for you: among the people who care about tulsi gabbard, are there any who care about her dad's politics, and if so how do they think it reflects upon tulsi? this is the last time ill ask oystertoadfish fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Mar 8, 2016 |

look at this filthy smut, nnnghquote:A brokered convention would bring out the absolute best in the nation, and by best I mean the worst—name-calling, vicious threats of payback, deep acts of betrayal, lawsuits, hair-pulling, and in the finest tradition of the 1924 convention, bloody fist-fights. It’s probably too much to hope for a gathering of 20,000 Klansmen in Cleveland to report on, but a fleet of Trumpites canoeing their way up the Cuyahoga River would gratify the press corps.

Slate Action posted:New Trump video defending Trump University: At this point I'm CONVINCED he's just trying to get back at Megyn Kelly. She consumes him. Only her specific point from the case quoting the opinion saying "these people were brainwashed, it's common among scam artists..." refutes Trump's clear dumbed down point here. Thus, if he wins now, Kelly loses. He really is a vengeful ball of poo poo, he's lucky I love an antihero and I just finished House of Cards.

Montasque posted:https://twitter.com/OrwellForks/status/707022112314286081 The funniest thing is that the Rubio camp put out a 1200 word "response" to the ad that doesn't actually respond or even acknowledge any of the claims made in the ad (probably because they are all true). Because really, the house thing is so damning, and if politics and the media weren't so incredibly hosed, it would have sunk him the moment he announced.

1924 etc had one thing that we don't have (and the thing that prevents us from having brokered conventions pretty much every cycle): the hilariously crazy rule that a candidate needed 2/3rds of delegates, not 50%+1.

The Saurus posted:My support for him is based on protectionism, keynesian infrastructure investment and an end to H1B visa abuse, as well as legal weed at the federal level Those two healthcare proposals are complete dogshit and this is why. First, drugs. The reason that "negotiating for drugs" is a buzzword is that the government, supposedly, could get lower drug prices if they could negotiate. This is probably true, to an extent. The thing is, these drug prices would only be on drugs paid for by the government for Medicare. Trump explicitly does not want to expand Medicare. It's right on his web site. We don't have to guess. He not only wants to do nothing to it, he wants to turn Medicaid into block grants, which would result in millions of people being kicked off the program in states with higher income eligibility limits. Further, the ability of the government to "negotiate" for lower drug prices is undercut by the fact that private insurance, which already can negotiate, has pretty much set the price point for most drugs. Now, I know the next step is allowing drug imports. The problem is, drugs are no longer cheaper in Canada due to their currency appreciating relative to ours, and while they are cheap in Mexico relative to here due to price controls, most Mexican labs are not FDA-certified-- which they'd have to be, to sell drugs in America. There's no getting around that. Furthermore, those drug labs are owned by big name pharma companies headquartered in the US and Europe, and these companies aren't stupid. If they increase production of drugs for sale in Mexico, they know they are directly undercutting their US market, and stealing money from themselves-- why would anyone pay for US-produced hydrocodone, for example, when they could have the exact same thing cheaper from Mexico? So they won't increase production, which means we won't be able to import those drugs in the quantities we need; the Mexican labs have large contracts from the Mexican government, and will continue to provide drugs to them. Some drugs will trickle north due to corruption in Mexico, but these are exactly the kind of drugs Trump promises to stop flooding over our border, so I have a hard time seeing that as the backbone of his medication cost reduction plan. Second, state lines. Can you think of a single reason why that would reduce costs? "Competition" is a buzzword. Any insurance company headquartered in, say, Delaware, would need to offer plans that meet the requirements of, say, Massachusetts, in order to sell there. There's no reason to assume the Delaware companies, working under the exact same regulatory framework of Massachusetts companies, would be able to offer savings. If anything they'd be more expensive than true in-state plans due to having to recoup the fixed costs of setting up insurance distribution infrastructure in another state (offices, support staff etc.) Now, if they were not subject to the regulatory framework of the new state, well, that's just a good old-fashioned neoliberal race-to-the-bottom, where deregulation allows major insurance companies to strip-mine customers for profit. Imagine the worst, shittiest insurance you can imagine, with huge deductibles, extremely limited coverage, huge penalties for going out-of-network, and a tiny annual maximum-- except you can't even buy a better one for any reasonable amount of money, because there are no regulations enforceable anywhere that can prevent this. It's like US businesses having a mailbox in the Caiman Islands; they'll all "relocate" to Delaware (which I did not pick at random) then restructure to unburden themselves from all of those pesky regulations requiring coverage up to a certain level, etc. The Trump health care plan-- which, as I said, we don't have to guess at, since it's on his site in its entirety-- is "gently caress you, pull out all the stops for insurance companies to drill you in the rear end, bring back pre-existing conditions, gut regulation, and the only benefit to you is a credit on the income tax you're not paying anyway because of my looneyballs tax plan." It's a dumpster fire. I'd rather have Paul Ryan's health care plan. DAD LOST MY IPOD fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Mar 8, 2016 |

Oiled and Ready posted:I was super on board an uncontested Trump nomination, but now I want a contested convention, I mean READ this, it's... magical. 1924 lasted two weeks. Some of the 19th century ones were pretty rocking parties as well. 1924 just hit a really resonant theme: it happened during a time when two wildly different Democratic Parties, a southern white Protestant party that stood for white supremacy, Prohibition, Confederate nostalgia, and lynching, went face to face with a northern white ethnic Catholic/Jewish party that stood for as much liquor as possible, in opposition to the Klan, big city industrial concerns, and left-wing economic notions. These factions existed in the same party and asking them to come up with one candidate was borderline impossible even though the Southern faction backed a Californian who was OK with labor laws. McAdoo was still a Protestant Prohibitionist who was...if not a Klansman, at least not openly opposed to the Klan. Meanwhile, Al Smith, the Northern candidate of choice, was a pro-booze Catholic governor of New York who was never going to play in Dixie. Is it any surprise that they ended up just shrugging and giving the nomination to someone else entirely?
