Lmao even the ones (conservatives/republicans) that seem relatively normal are hiding weird poo poo inside that leaks out every now and then.

Daduzi posted:John Kasich maybe? I don't think Rubio's done anything egregiously abhorrent either. Rubio has a history of irresponsible financial decisions, a reason he was kept off of Romney's ticket as VP, and also, some standard faire Florida corruption skeletons in his closet. The usual "missing $100,000 on party credit cards," and also that he's best friends with a guy who abetted a woman's escape to Nicaragua in order to avoid federal charges and was under investigation for bribes received from the owner of a dog track. It's probably not anything that could sink him without a smoking gun, but there are also old rumors among dems that he slept with a lobbyist who had an abortion and that he has a secret family somewhere in Florida, but no one's gotten anywhere with those claims despite investigation.

Ah, I remember all the "Rick Perry is totally gay. No for real I know a dude who knows a dude who slept with him" rumors that flew around Austin last cycle. Secret family. Rubio wishes he was that interesting.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2015/07/27/rnc-trump-won-t-run-as-third-party.htmlquote:The chairman of the Republican National Committee claims he isn't worried about Donald Trump running as a third-party candidate in the general election should he not win the GOP nomination. Reince Priebus told the Today show that the speculation over whether Trump will abandon party lines doesn't have basis. "I don't see that happening," he said, adding that: "if Hillary Clinton is going to get beat, she has to get beat by a Republican." Priebus said the crowded field—there are currently 16 Republican candidates—will make for a stronger race. Reince this is how you get a Trump third party run.

So if they chose him he'll screw the election for them because he's a disastrous candidate, and if they don't choose him he'll screw the election for them because he will run as a third party and absorb all their nutcases. I can't think of a more effective weapon against the GOP than Donald Trump.

There's no real mechanism for Trump to really run 3rd Party at this point. At best he could go the Nader route and get some existing 3rd parties to make him their nominee, but it's pretty unlikely he makes it to even the 43 States Nader did in 2000. Especially this late in the game with nominations already happening. Most likely it'd be a handful of States with Trump on the ballot and a few more with him eligible as a write in. As a result the media will stop covering him, and that sweet, sweet media attention is what he really craves. The threat to make an independent run is just Trump's attempt to ensure he doesn't get exiled from the media circus he pines for and his "dignified" out.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Has there ever been a time a republican has won a majority of the black vote? Yeah general exit polls didn't care about the black vote that far back (they have a non-white category back to 1952 but that's it), I've read a few academic papers giving estimates and they're all in wide agreement that Herbert Hoover was the last Republican to get a majority of the black vote, before him they probably all did going back to Lincoln. Nixon/Goldwater/Nixon is the real demarcation point where the GOP loses the black vote forever.

I honestly don't care too much about what email crimes she did or did not commit, since she's still the only candidate running who would be able to strongarm good judges and SCOTUS Justices onto the bench for the next eight years. Find a scandal that undermines that (or convince me that Bernie wouldn't be devoured whole by a Republican Congress) and we can talk.

Being devoured by a Republican Congress is part of Bernie's plan. Socialism is a disease, if he can trick them into eating him they'll all catch it and become socialists and his vice president Dennis Kucinich will get whatever he wants, which I think means the city of Cleveland will buy the Browns.

Hillary was pro-Universal Health Care back when she was First Lady and tried to spearhead a campaign to get it through Congress. It's why Republicans call her a Socialist. She'll go for UHC again if she gets to be POTUS; Wall Street doesn't care dick about the Private Insurance Market, and in fact, UHC would save huge banking/financial corporations millions (if not billions) of dollars on employee health benefits.

Yeah Hillary's history on being pro UHC is quite solid. It's one of the things that there's really not too much room to attack her from the left on. I don't believe it will happen no matter who is president unless we get something like Hillary vs Trump and are in 1984 landslide territory.
