I will keep doing, but not worth it! The 2016 Presidential Primary Voting Thread

so how's this debate?

I personally think this debate is going to move some needles

Rubio's been exposed.

ok lol at trump bringing up reagan and his wonderful way of deal-making and then thirty seconds later complaining about having a president who takes too many vacations

btw total number of executive orders issued: reagan 381, obama 226

Clearly a coordinated governors' lovefest tonight

can't they take a break to like play kickball or something

but yeah, much as debates get overstated as game-changers, i could imagine that at least for new hampshire people who are making a point of watching, this could arrest the gains rubio's been making there. he just looks bad. trump is coming off lousy too but not in ways different from the ways he always does; maybe the main difference is jeb doesn't look totally hapless in the face of his middle school bully stuff.

lol bush really does not need to start sentences with "and in the bush administration..." cause it sounds like he's about to complain about some terrible policy under his brother

Christie has been in the zone all night

of course u guys are so busy on a Sat night...

o hey! look who's here! it's morbz!

well i'm glad it was finally clarified who's voting for jeb: the crucial block of legally-deceased-americans.

"with 100% certainty, i will pick a winner: it will be either carolina or denver"
- ben dad joke carson

more baffling filler from ABC news - let's talk to a quarter-filled classroom of college bloggers or something? "Oh mannn it's Brad! Dude! Brad is here!"

this week on SNL, bernie sanders
next week on SNL, a parody of the hilarious introduction of this debate

"I'm still here, and I'm not going any place--especially when they call my name at the beginning!"

ben "indica" carson

Don't read anything deeper into this statement, but I do kind of love that Trump just doesn't know how to play defense. That last jab at Cruz was so over-the-top.

I still want to find out how somebody died campaigning for carson

Rubio was terrible tonight.

this really was painful, especially with the murmurs and boos after the final time he does it: http://www.vox.com/2016/2/6/10929416/republican-debate-marco-rubio

I have to admit the SNL Digital Short w/ LD that Sanders "directed" was actually p funny, annoying since LD is a complete prick

omigod did he finally collapse

i was wincing watching Christie destroy Rubio

back in good ol' (sorta) Democratic theft:

"In Grinnell Ward 1, the precinct where elite liberal arts college Grinnell College is located, 19 delegates were awarded to Bernie Sanders and seven were awarded to Hillary Clinton on caucus night. However, the Iowa Democratic party decided to shift one delegate from Sanders to Clinton on the night and did not notify precinct chair J Pablo Silva that they had done so. Silva only discovered that this happened the next day, when checking the precinct results in other parts of the county."

In the old days, when Democrats knew how to do politics right, a change like this would have required a substantial bribe of whiskey and strippers, as well as a decent county job for the idiot nephew of the county chairman. To paraphrase George C. Scott in Patton, god, how I hate the 21st Century.

hey, unlike Henry K, this war criminal is tubthumping for Hil, and bringin' the sisterly guilt.

Madeleine can fuck right off with that shit. so if Hillary was in favor of letting bloodthirsty genetically enhanced gorillas in the street to thin the population, we'd still need to vote for her?

actually i'm not so sure I don't support that

Taking out copyright on "The Stepford Candidate" as a Rubio nickname.

also it's kinda sad that Steinem has signed up with the nitwit branch of American feminism

Debbie Wasserman Schultz--bless her heart--calls out the GOP for hiding their debates on big weekend nights, thus reaping the whirlwind (apologies for Vox link, I know):

apologies for positive Wasserman-Schultz story too

Something I believe now that I didn't believe a year ago: if Elizabeth Warren had run, she would've won the Democratic nomination

huh, good chance this is true

Steinem apologized:

although i guess if we accept that the demographic gap is what will ultimately propel clinton to the nomination, i'm not sure how warren necessarily closes that

p4reene addressed the dubiousness of that last week. BS has won 14 elections, EW what, one? It's no fait accompli.

@CaitlinPacific @maggieNYT @AthertonKD "What I said was misinterpreted. What I meant was [entirely different words]."

It's great that Steinem has apologised, even if it's hard to see an explanation for what she said. It won't stop right-wingers and anti-feminists from quoting that forever.

"I apologize for what's been misinterpreted" isn't much of an apology.

how about "I'm sorry i had an opinion"

Well, if she was voicing an opinion she stands by, there's no need to apologize at all.

she's not sorry about anything, i'm quite sure

"I apologize for what's been misinterpreted"
"I'm sorry you took it that way."

"I'm sorry you were offended by what I said."

"I'm sorry I have to waste my time explaining myself to morons like you."

no we understood you the first time, you superannuated clown

i thought she made a lot of good points sticking up for the role of feminism in the muslim world. i guess that doesn't get the clicks

sticking up for the role of feminism in the muslim world

Albert Brooks, no?

The things people need to apologize for these days. Everything about this is so stupid.
