CelestialScribe posted:Because there is an excellent chance he can. He probably will. This is rubbish, Trump is the least popular of all candidates running (democrat or republican) and may be the most unpopular candidate ever to run in history. His success is far better explained by the failure of his opponents to drop out as they would have at this point in earlier election cycles. All predictions about his success have generally been wrong because people didn't anticipate the election cycle would have <this> many candidates this far in but early predictions about his "ceiling" of potential votes have remained pretty consistent, in spite of all the primary states he's won. Don't confuse his winning 30-40% of republican voters as any indication of his overall popularity; he's popular among <40% of registered republicans in a handful of states>. His only path to victory would be to pick up all states that Romney won in 2012 and add 2-5 additional states on top of that. Even if Trump wasn't the nominee, it's unlikely for any republican to win the presidential election this year because the electoral college favors a democrat candidate no matter who it is. Trump would have even more of an uphill battle than most republicans would due to his unpopularity but it's very unlikely that any repub has a shot this year.

ewe2 posted:Rubio is screwing this up, he just had a debate where he made all sorts of points, and Trump just blows it over with a water bottle joke about Rubio sweating. Now Trump has two Governors endorse him today, one of them Christie. Conventional wisdom is failing, he keeps not losing. But he's only looking good versus other GOP candidates so far. Who are the governers and why do their endorsements matter?

tithin posted:Who are the governers and why do their endorsements matter? LePage (who is a minor figure, and a bit of a wingnut) and Christie (who isn't either of those). Christie matters because it's the first time someone in the GOP Establishment has openly endorsed Trump. It's not that endorsements directly affects votes (although they can sometimes help), but it can be a sign of where money and resources are going.

Labor volunteers have been caught on hidden cameras bragging about using Australian taxpayer funds to work on a US presidential campaign and interfering with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton campaign signs. In a video posted online by the conservative undercover campaign group Project Veritas Action, four Australians are recorded saying they received taxpayer funds for flights, accommodation and daily expenses while organising for Democratic senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, a possible breach of US election law. Former Australian National University Labor Club president Ben Kremer is identified in the video trying to remove campaign signs for Republican candidate Donald Trump in Manchester, New Hampshire, acknowledging in the secret recording that the tactics were not legal. "F--- you, Donald," he says in the video. Mr Kremer tells the video crew Sanders campaign officials had told him stealing rival campaign signs was not allowed and says he also switched Hillary Clinton campaign literature with Sanders materials. Other volunteers were not depicted tampering with signs. "Bernie is about listening and saying "f--- you" to the establishment," he said on the video. Australian Labor Party national secretary George Wright told Fairfax Media he had launched an investigation to confirm the federal government-funded Australian Political Parties Democracy Program complied with US election laws. He said behaviour shown the video, reported by right-wing media outlet The Washington Times, was "completely inappropriate" and was also being investigated. Mr Kremer, a party member and campus organiser in Canberra, tells the undercover film crew that volunteers were instructed not to post information about their work on social media, because it could cause the Coalition government to cancel the program. Mr Kremer has been contacted for comment. "They have had issues in the past, where like if I put a photo up of myself with the Statue of Liberty ... the next morning it would be on the front of a newspaper with ... 21-year-old student users taxpayer money to go on holiday. What a disgrace." He says there is nothing "wrong" with the program, but some people would be unhappy volunteers were working on the Sanders campaign, "because not everyone is left-wing". Senator Sanders is challenging Mrs Clinton for the Democratic nomination. Two other Australian are also seen in the video talking tactics - including one discussing stealing signs from the Clinton campaign. Western Australia Young Labor president Rebecca Doyle is identified in the video saying the ALP's international branch had coordinated travel, accommodation and funding to assist the Sanders campaign, including $60 daily stipends. Ms Doyle has also been contacted for comment. Sanders' campaign national press secretary Simone Sanders tells Project Veritas Action she is not sure about the Australians' involvement. The group identifies itself as a journalism organisation and has previously targeted the Clinton campaign and other Democrats. It has faced lawsuits over other videos posted online. Project Veritas Action is one of many partisan outfits who use online videos and investigations to influence presidential elections in the US. Mr Wright said he believed the program, administered by the Department of Finance, was compliant with all US election laws. Labor, the Coalition and the Greens have each received funding from the controversial program. "I have initiated an investigation to ensure that it is. We believe that our program is compliant but clearly the behaviour of these individuals in the video is, on the face of it, completely unacceptable and I will also be investigating that." He said four Labor members had been involved in the exchange program, and they had all returned to Australia since its completion. "They are there as observers and they should just be observing, not posting stuff on social media and certainly not doing the type of things they are depicted doing." Mr Wright said Project Veritas Action's methods were questionable.

tithin posted:Who are the governers and why do their endorsements matter? Christie was one of the nomination candidates until he dropped out the other week. At one stage he was running hot with endorsements himself. The other guy is LePage of Maine who is an utter shitheel so both of them kind of suit Trump. The importance of it is that it opens the floodgates to Trump getting very likely more from Republican politicians with axes to grind. It makes Cruz more vulnerable and it's not exactly good for Rubio either. I suspect there's a lot of caucus maths involved in it too, which is also ominous. Once this gets going, it could well snowball, so watch 538's tracker to keep up with it. A lot of Jeb!s former endorsees switched to Rubio, for instance, and they could switch back depending on the political weather. But at least one has switched from Jeb! to Trump already.

This man is an adult, who lied on departure from Australia, and knowingly crossed into Syria, fully knowing the risks. No one in the Australian Government can actually know if he has been brainwashed into launching terrorism attacks here. Do not return his passport. If you willingly cross into enemy territory then you are an enemy sympathiser. He fully knew the consequences so let him rot in hell in Islamic State. If the Australian Government allows him to return they will establish a revolving door of radicalised terrorists returning here to murder Australians at will. This guy is a traitor to Australia. No sympathy.
