I don't see anyone being able to outflank Hillary in the primary. Foxnews has done and amazing job equating liberals or progressives as evil, so Bernie Samders won't get any traction. Warren May or may not run but she's terrible at debating, Omalley is boring to listen to, and Castro just isn't ready yet. Can we get pot legalization on a lot of 2016 ballots? It just seems pretty obvious that it's gonna be Hillary vs whatever semi moderate likable business wing republican that had to veer hard right to fend off the lunatics.

Killer robot posted:If I recall, the polling in 2008 went from "clear Obama victory" to "too close to call" from the Palin announcement until the bottom fell out of the stock market, but this was mostly because so many people didn't realize how loopy she was yet rather than because that sold well. She was just picked for being young, an outsider, and not a white dude. Not really. State level polling always had Obama ahead from basically July onwards.

Central MA seems to be the only place where there's a large concentration of rear end in a top hat Republicans, and even then they're not Tea Party types so much as establishment, FYGM rich-people types. I know this is a few pages too late, but the Merrimack Valley is FULL of rear end in a top hat Republicans. I can't drive through my city without seeing some jackass with a confederate flag bumper sticker.

Anyone else feel like the debate tomorrow will be the most watched debate in years? What started as a joke about Trump running turned into 3 of my friends and I talking about having a debate party at someone's house which has now turned into a 50 person+ debacle in which everybody who is anybody in my small city seems to be going to. I'm honesty worried there will be a brawl between the feuding families and I won't get to see Trump in action. So many people are watching this.

The only good thing about President Trump would be when someone inevitably tries to block his idea and he goes on national TV to say "speaker boehner blocked my bill today because he wanted to add an amendment to it which only benefits his district or X business." That would be hilarious.

Let's assume Trump doesn't get nod and runs independent. If he takes 25% of the dem vote and 40 rep vote from 2012 in each state, it would cause AZ/GA/NC to go blue. Indiana, Missouri, Montana, SC, and Mississippi would take weeks to call. Trump still wouldn't win any states. If you raise the dem portion to 35 and reps stay the same, TRump could actually win

Everybody I talk to (In MA/NH) seems to support Trump. Even people in here and in my politics fb group (political clusterfuck) are starting to warm up a little to him. Hell, even I'm finding myself defending him to people who like Carson or Santorum. I'm starting to think he's actually going to be our next president.

A GIANT PARSNIP posted:Hahahaha gently caress Scott Walker forever. Seems that the last few polls have had anti establishment candidates totaling around 51-52%. Bizarre time to be interested in politics, and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. That being said, I organized a 30 person gathering at a local bar for the last debate and the bar owner wants me to do it at every debate. He offered up his function room no charge, and now I'm getting recognition for uniting politically minded people at big gatherings? Anyone live in the NH/MA coastal area who might be interested, haha?
