Il Douché and His Discontents: The 2016 Primary Voting Thread, Part 4

that post wasn't rly pitched at ilx

Fuck that Louis CK thing, vote for Kaisch "he seems alright" what a fucking idiot

Yeah I love Louie but sheesh STFU.

i haven't heard or read the thing but if it involves any sort of nice opinion of Kasich come the fuck on

The First Amendment thing should have had more traction, since he was basically trying to appeal to average Janes'n'Joes by implying things would be better for them if famous people were able to get the "Media" to stop saying bad stuff about famous people by making it easier for famous people to sue and get money out of the "Media", which apparently is only slightly behind ISIS as a threat to the American Way of Life.

LCK p much admits he doesnt know anything

comedians dont have to

I am getting a little tired of the "Trump = Hitler" comparisons from the left, but then you get these moments like the raising the right arm at the rally today and you're like "dude, are you courting the comparison?"

it's the rare trump position that has the ring of political passion

i haven't considered myself a Democrat since the moment Mondale crowed that he wouldnt share anti-missile weaponry with the Soviets, but i'll have my bayonet ready for the civil war.

the moment Mondale crowed that he wouldnt share anti-missile weaponry with the Soviets

haha i never heard this, was he trying to score off reagan?

always found reagan's batshit beatitude on that front really likable

yes, Mondale's last tactic was TO MOVE TO REAGAN'S RIGHT on the Cold War. Genius.

suggest that caek

a) stop with the markets already
b) have 8 beers with me

Markets moved from 56% mookieproof getting drunk this morning to 72% at poll close

i've been cleaning up lately shorting will i get high derivatives

i will have 12 beers with mookie AND caek AND eat the markets already, i guarantee it

the markets is all i got, i'm not allowed to vote

when'd they add that to the pledge of allegiance again

i beat every level in SMB3 today in 250 minutes, that's all i got

boom

Someone on CNN pointed out something I missed with Trump--by calling on Rubio to drop out, he's really just trying to goad him into staying in.

Markets moved from 56% mookieproof getting drunk this morning to 72% at poll close

always a bull market

back in things that actually happened, Sanders wins Kansas and Nebraska, Clinton Louisiana

Still <200 pledged delegates separating them

Morbz stuck me w his bayonet, leaned in and whispered "tell Mondale I'll see him in hell"

Hilarious that cruz is emerging as the establishment alternate to Trump. Ideal outcome really.

rally around the most conservative candidate since Goldwater. good night, and good luck.

FB friend's post:

How to correctly interpret the Nebraska and Kansas Democratic primaries:

Senator Sanders won these states decisively because they were tailor made for him which means that these two states as everyone has always known are filled with very liberal, very affluent, very white, very young, very blue-collar, very rural, very caucus-y kinds of voters who usually don't turn out to vote but did this time for a democratic socialist because they are for all these reasons unrepresentative of the American people and in fact all five journalists and the hot dog vendor who attended Senator Sanders's press conference announcing his candidacy last May confidently predicted that he would win Kansas and Nebraska for all these reasons plus they are caucus states which everyone also knew from the beginning would go for the Senator because it has been predicted so often in his long career as a Democratic socialist that he would be very competitive in Red states that had caucuses which require in-state organization and familiarity and even though Senator Sanders may have never once set foot in either state in his long career until a month ago this is exactly why those voters who did vote for him are unrepresentative of the American people plus if you look at a map it is clear that Kansas and Nebraska are separated from Vermont by only 7 state boundaries which gave Senator Sanders a built-in advantage over his opponent since it has also always been known from the beginning of this campaign that the very liberal, very affluent, very white, very young, very blue-collar, very rural, very caucus-y very unrepresentative sort of voters in Kansas and Nebraska (plus Oklahoma) have always known everything about Senator Sanders and surveys have always shown that they could name him as one of the Senators from Vermont even when they could not name both Senators from their own states or the states on either side of their States which again makes them entirely unrepresentative of American voters and so the results from these states were entirely predictable especially since it snows a lot in both of these states just like Vermont

..and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.

lol

and here's why xp

it's a good thing you don't need to win the most delegates to become the nominee, just outperform ppl's expectations of you

Lol alfred

well at least you won't be the nominee xp

you guys WILL deserve what you get, richly

oops sorry i forgot you are all your own anointed pundit. carry on obnoxiously.

IRL cackled at this necessitating lengthy explanation to wife

We are strictly in the 'delusional' phase of the Sanders' campaign. I get why they have to pretend to still have a shot; need as many delegates as possible to show how large the desire for other policies are. I get it, and it's good in the long run. And Sanders really needs more recognition for how positive his campaign has been, even though many of his supporters are insufferable on social media. But Clinton is winning most votes and most delegates, and she did so again yesterday. And at times it becomes a bit cringeworthy. There was one guy reporting home to Denmark from NY State about how Sanders actually won Super Tuesday, because Clinton was only carrying 'conservative' voters in the south. Uhm...

also hrc could die

I don't think Sanders campaign is over and I've said before that I think he should continue it until he is mathematically eliminated. The thing that annoys me is that at this point he actually needs to be gaining on Hillary to even have a shot but I've been seeing celebrations that he didn't lose by as many delegates yesterday as they thought a week ago, or someone saying that he doesn't need to actually win Michigan, he just needs to not lose by the current polling. I don't think that's true - he really needs to start beating Hillary and not just coming really close to doing so. I guess if you think he's going to score blow outs in rust belt states but then he actually has to be winning in MI, and then in IL, OH on the 15th which is surely the last stand?

lol remember when HRC's reason to continue campaigning about BHO was that he could still be assassinated?

This is an area where I really don't enough about US, but I could see him doing good by keeping it going all the way to the convention, right? As people have noted on ilx before, the Dems are actually having a civilized discussion about politics, which is a pretty good contrast to what's going on on the other side. At some point the party needs to prepare the infrastructure for the general, and it would be could to have as much a lead as possible on that, but they could still do that even with Sanders campaigning for another win in Connecticut or wherever.

I wrote on facebook after Iowa that Sanders lost his shot then. He needed to change the narrative definitively to ever have a chance of gaining enough momentum to turn South Carolina, and when that didn't happen, he couldn't win. The blowout in New Hampshire didn't really change that.

Yeah, I don't think it's going to be an issue (re preparing for the general) esp in the current political environment. If there's any chance that a longer Sanders campaign will keep his voters involved and committed it might actually aid the party in GOTV efforts. From what I understand the campaign is registering new voters and bringing more ppl into the party so that can only be an advantage no matter who ultimately wins the nomination.

it's not "cringeworthy" for him to stay in, and it doesn't prevent (and likely helps) the preparation of infrastructure

meet the press - chuck todd asks lindsey graham what exactly has ted cruz accomplished in the senate besides shutting down the government? and graham says, well he made people believe that it was me and mitch mcconnell who prevented repealing obamacare. but at least he's a conservative

it is hilarious how much they clearly despise cruz and know he can't win the general and still he's not as bad as trump
