2016 Election Thread (My God Kill Me Now)

I kind of worry that she isn't electable. I mean she should win against this GOP trainwreck, but you never know anymore - especially with her weak showing in blue states. It's kind of scary to think how the GOP would interpret a win in November. What sort of mandate would they have with this fiasco campaign that has gone completely off the rails to right wing extremism?

Exactly. I think she'd get creamed against any of the past four GOP candidates - including if the rules suddenly changed and W ran for a third term. The only reason Dole or Bush the first wouldn't win is because of their respective ages in 2016.

If she has ANY slip-up, then I hope a brokered GOP convention results in a person who could function reasonably well as president. Regardless of a Hillary slip-up, I kind of think that if Paul Ryan ends up with the nomination, then he'll win the general.

Trump and Clinton are exactly tied for my least favorite political candidate running, or that has ever ran.

Cruz out trumps both of them.

I am still holding fast to the idea that Ryan won't get the nomination in a brokered convention....but the idea isn't as crazy as I thought it was just a few months ago. My $$$ would be on Scott Walker. I read this last night and left thinking he's still perfect for the GOP. Some of this stuff is just crazy....

He and Tonette married on Reagan’s birthday, and every year they celebrate their wedding anniversary / Reagan’s birthday by serving the Gipper’s favorite dishes, such as macaroni-and-cheese casserole and red, white, and blue jelly beans.

The team had used a secret router system in the county office to communicate with each other, and the e-mails revealed an obsession with burnishing Walker’s image in the most small-bore ways. Walker himself urged employees to write favorably of him in the Journal Sentinel’s online comments.

One anonymous e-mail, forwarded by Walker’s then–chief of staff, went like this: “THE NIGHTMARE ... ‘I can handle being a black, disabled, one armed, drug-addicted Jewish homosexual ... but please, oh dear God, don’t make me a Democrat.’ ”

Another compares welfare recipients to dogs: They are “mixed in color, unemployed, lazy, can’t speak English and have no frigging clue who the r [sic] Daddys [sic] are.” This message was forwarded around by Walker’s then–deputy chief of staff, who remarked that it was “hilarious” and “so true.”

His campaign’s deputy finance director, for instance, sent out tweets that included references to “half-breeds” and one in which she vowed to “choke that illegal mex cleaning in the library.”

The prankster, Ian Murphy, showered Walker with the same gushing reinforcement he had received from Sykes and Belling for years. “You’re not talking to any of these Democrat bastards are you?” he said. “Beautiful, beautiful. Got to crush that union.” Walker responded just as he had on the radio shows, with aw-shucks faux-humility. “We’ve had all the national shows. We were on ‘Hannity’ last night, I did ‘Good Morning America’ and the ‘Today’ show and all that sort of stuff, was on ‘Morning Joe’ this morning. We’ve done ‘Greta,’” he said. Walker’s radar failed to go off even when Murphy urged him to plant provocateurs among the protesters to make it look like they’d turned violent. “We thought about that,” Walker responded, incredibly, before explaining that he had decided against the idea because it might backfire: “My only fear would be if there’s a ruckus caused is that would scare the public into thinking maybe the governor has to settle to avoid all these problems.”

Since this is page 666, can we call it the "Hillary page"?
