2016 Election Thread (My God Kill Me Now)

I agree it's overblown, but that's kind of the dividing line as I see it on whether you support him or Hillary. The big rap on him is "how are you realistically going to do this?" and then he had no answer. Whatever you think about Hillary she knows her [expletive] and would have something to say there.

I agree with this for the most part. I do think people are being a little rough on him for the interview.

I also think Bernie more than makes up for it with his track record. I don't think anyone can look at that (and I really mean look at it) and say that the guy doesn't know what he's doing.

Also not quite fair to me to say he had no answer, because he did have a lot in that interview. But I'm surprised he didn't have something for those specific questions, and of course that's the part that's now circulating.

It really didn't help that the interviewer was obtusely confusing the Federal Reserve with the Treasury Department. At least that's my reading on how that went down. What we've got here, is a failure to communicate.

It's gonna be Cruz isn't it

Ted Cruz, Not Paul Ryan, Would Probably Win A Contested Convention

The ‘establishment’ might not like Cruz, but the delegates likely will.

i assume there is no way for cruz to win NY considering his "ny values" comment but does bernie have a chance in NY? i know hilary is a "native" new yorker though.

If Bernie wins NY, I think its a game changer for the Dems.

There have only been two polls done recently but they don't look good for Sanders. He has to make up 10-20 points in two weeks if they're accurate. Not getting my hopes up, but stranger things have happened.

[Schlich]

Another thing that hurts Sanders is that it's a closed primary. Something that helps is that it's going to be the campaign's sole focus for the next two weeks.

Republicans were “giddy” about suppressing turnout with voter ID law, recalls former staffer - See more at: http://isthmus.com/opinion/madland/republicans-were-giddy-about-suppressing-voters/#sthash.UoL1w9YW.dpuf

You wanna know why I left the Republican Party as it exists today?

I was in the closed Senate Republican Caucus when the final round of multiple voter ID bills was being discussed. A handful of the GOP Senators were giddy about the ramifications and literally singled out the prospects of suppressing minority and college voters.

Think about that for a minute.

Tell me again about the time you had your sense of humor removed. I like that one.

I'm feeling a Bern all the sudden
