does anybody know what's gonna happen in PR tomorrow? i submit that nobody does

i guess it's an open primary, and the partido republicano (which is affiliated with one of the parties in puerto rico's three-party system? eh gently caress it) endorsed marco rubio, and he's from sorta near there and i guess people figure he'll win. it's an open primary and the democrats are doing a caucus in loving june so you'd have to think turnout will be high.

i wonder how trump will do? will they stick with rubio?

i kinda vaguely assumed rubio would win hawaii too, on tuesday, but i dunno

I think some Rubots will go Cruz. Cruz's appeal as the non trump candidate will grow too.

If Rubio loses any non-state delegation it's like losing Florida for him.

He didn't calmly refuse to support gay marriage. You make so much stuff up, its so weird.

Via Ballotpedia:

quote:

-In a June 28, 2015, interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Donald Trump was asked by anchor Jake Tapper how Trump's three marriages fit into the definition of "traditional marriage." Trump responded that someone asking the question has "a very good point" and suggested he was at fault for his divorces. Tapper said he wasn't asking for an explanation for Trump's divorces, but rather what he would say to a gay person on this question. Trump answered, "I don't say anything. I'm just for traditional marriage."
-On June 26, 2015, following the Obergefell v. Hodges ruling, Trump tweeted, "Once again the Bush appointed Supreme Court Justice John Roberts has let us down. Jeb pushed him hard! Remember!"
-On the issue of gay marriage, Donald Trump said during a November 2013 interview on MSNBC, "I think I�m evolving, and I think I�m a very fair person, but I have been for traditional marriage. I am for traditional marriage, I am for a marriage between a man and a woman.

Also, that's really what you're objecting to? Not the torture thing?

Also D.C., which is the only delegation that selects using a convention, and is strongly expected to go to Rubio for some reason.

I honestly can't tell if you're playing a gimmick or not sometimes. If you are, its a pretty convincing, if tiring, gimmick but maybe you don't have to devote quite so much time to it.

If you aren't, and you actually sincerely think posts on SA are reflective of reality at all, or that being a posting warrior on an internet forum is accomplishing anything, yikes man. Seek help.

Pretty much. At this point he's just siphoning support from Trump and denying him delegates.

Nope. Cruz is probably close to done with earning state. Especially states that matter. Cruz is only up so close right now because he won Texas which is one of the four largest portions of delegates. Unfortunately, the other big states are likely less friendly to Cruz and probably more friendly to Trump, especially a state like New York and possibly California (though CA is too late to matter as much as it'll likely be more influenced by the momentum of the other states). If Cruz takes Florida, he'd have a decent shot, but nothing indicates him having any chance for the state when compared to Trump.

I was being flippant, but all the same, Immortan did call Hillary Clinton a race traitor in that post, which is pretty :stare:

Like next hes going to pull out some human organs and begin making a sandwich of them on tv and they'll still vote for him.

If you can't get behind calling Hilldawg a filthy hyper-capitalist race traitor war criminal (or calling Bernie a pinko communist hippy snake oil salesman, if thats your bent) on these Something Awful comedy forums, I dunno man. Maybe you're taking either the election or the forums a bit too seriously? Or if its all just gimmick posting then roll with it I guess.

I'm very unhappy as an American that the GOP's possible guys are either Trump or Cruz.

I admit I'm glad the GOP is fighting itself, but they'll all fall in line in the end so it doesn't matter.

It would be one thing if I thought Immortan were a gimmick or saying it ironically, but I do get the impression that he thinks anyone who doesn't vote Trump is a race traitor...
