It's going to be very important to keep in mind that if you're reading this thread you have significantly more knowledge than the average poll respondent because you're a broken person with misaligned priorities and concerns.

I can't believe how much noise Trump is managing to make on a Saturday afternoon. In the future, courses on trolling will be taught, centered on his presidential run.

Bernie, as a result of hardball politics from Clinton and leftist infighting, loses the nomination to Clinton.

The Donald killdozes his way to the top of the GOP nom, then swings to the center with emphasis on healthcare and social programs that democrats could find plausible, while keeping the base in check with talk of immigration and nationalistic foreign policy. Working class democrats find his anti-immigrant and protectionist trade policies appealing, and he makes sure to give...stunning...fact free debate performances.

The national audience, already prepped to believe that Clinton is prone to scandal, is divided about whether or not the scandal Trump says he will reveal at prime time is real. Democrats, previously overjoyed at his nomination, are suddenly very nervous and unsure. What did they find in those emails? What if it was something else? What if it turns out to be real? Of those questions, the last, as we saw with Bush in 2004, is the least important to the country.

Donald Trump assumes office.

A year from now, Bernie sanders loses the nomination to Hillary Clinton in a closer race then anyone could have expected, while Trumps cruises to his nomination, grinding all 16 other candidates in to dust along the way. He then selects Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders as his running mate.

The Trump/Sanders ticket wins in an electoral landslide and is reelected for a 2nd term in 2020 as the United States of America is ushered into a new golden age. During President Trump's 2nd term, congress repeals the 22nd amendment and Trump/Sanders runs for and wins 2 additional terms.

You're actually right, I went back and checked the picture I had taken and the long burger's not a hot dog, it's chicken salad on a hot dog bun.

I'm only on page 992, so maybe someone else has already said this, but there's been this long, gradual upswing of Trump support in this thread, and I just want to remind everyone that he's a gigantic whiny racist idiot baby and anyone suggesting him as an actual good candidate should be ashamed.

Lots of people are like "ohh what has to happen for him to lose??" What has to happen is for time to pass. There is zero chance of him getting the GOP nomination. It will not happen ever. But aside from that, I guess someone could just go to every event and hold up a fan that blows on his disgusting comb-over and reveals his enormously receded hairline at which point he will shriek and melt like the Wicked Witch of the West.

Trump is an extremely terrible man and watching him be mean to the shambling parade of GOP schlubs does not make him any less of a catastrophically terrible choice for president.

Radar Online is reporting a hacker is in possession of 32,000 of Hillary's emails and is selling them for $500K. They've provided sample subject lines.

Apparently when the emails were deleted, they failed to delete the ones in the Sent folder.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a scientific poll, but it's still funny to see:



It was tweeted by one of Trump's campaign staffers, though, so I hope Trump himself saw it. It can only be good for his self-esteem.

Sure can.

It was one of the big events I went to with multiple candidates. I had noticed him earlier in the day standing around in the area where the candidates signed books. He was wearing that top hat and holding a McDonald's cup of mostly dead posies. I saw him talk to a few of the regular people (they were not nice to him) and he would try and get close to the candidates. During one of the speakers who was not a candidate I decided to go and walk around and stretch my legs.I went to the main area and say him in the same spot he was earlier.

Walked over and said "How is it going?" He took a kinda defensive and cold tone with me to begin. I said it is okay I wasn't there to yell at or give him a hard time. Just was interested in what he was about. He ignored me and was looking around so I turned to walk away and he said "I give the candidates flowers." I turned back and said "why do you do that?" He responded with "I make them pledge to not start wars and be for peace." I said "I wish that is all it took sometimes. Is one of the reasons I like Sanders. Only guy of the two parties who might not start a war." Now he actually looks at me and says in an angry tone "I don't have a preference. My ideologue is beyond the parties. I'm just here for peace and to get those pledges and promises. Holds them accountable. I've been all over and I did this in 2012 too."I first apologized if I offended him since he sounded angry it wasn't my intention then I said cool and asked if he was part of an organization I could read about. He said "I'm by myself guy. Lone lover."

Then some press walked by and he ran after them.

When it was done and we went to go look at the Scott Walker bus he was being interviewed by a couple of reporters and saw me. He yelled out "HEY SANDERS GUY!!!" smiling and waving. It felt like an act for the reporters so I circumvented that group. It also turned out he was parked next to me. He lives in his car .

That was my experience and everything was just a little off.

The Donald would like all the profits from the CNN interview to go to veteran causes and has written a letter to Jeff Zucker requesting just that.

Q69-420 (Republicans) What is Donald Trump's chance of winning the nomination?
0%

edit: really this is just more evidence Jeb! should be off somewhere crying in a corner

Anyone who still thinks Trump has a chance at the nomination should read these numbers. He's not going to win.

The only thing he's going to accomplish (which he's done a lot) is get the actual candidates to say some pretty stupid things. Rubio hasn't gotten caught up much in saying extreme things though.
