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

well, it describes most of them

as a breed they are lower than whaleshit

u realize whaleshit is superexpensive and supervaluable right

i can't even see how trump can loose this nomination at this point, the convention and self-ignition of the GOP is going to be pretty amazing

It's the New Ted Cruz News
Comin' right at you

is that seriously a new zoo revue gag because if so KUDOS SIR

Squeeze! squeeze! squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that shit till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that shit till a strange sort of insanity came over me; and I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-laborers’ hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules. Such an abounding, affectionate, friendly, loving feeling did this avocation beget; that at last I was continually squeezing their hands, and looking up into their eyes sentimentally; as much as to say,- Oh! my dear fellow beings, why should we longer cherish any social acerbities, or know the slightest ill-humor or envy! Come; let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and shit of kindness.

side note on that, is calling someone "a candidate willing to do or say anything to get elected" really as powerful a dig as candidates think it is? it is used all the time

absolutely, it just seems like a phrase used by anyone running for like any office from junior high class president to POTUS and i think only people running for an office seem to think it is a potent insult

it's their way of claiming they have principles

Bernie seems to have some scruples

to compensate for no hair

this is tabloid shit but i really, sincerely hope we do not see trump use a homophobic slur on stage in attacking rubio

http://www.towleroad.com/2016/02/marco-rubio-gay/

that said, trump savaging rubio will be pretty nasty

tweet it at Trump, maybe you'll get lucky

trump hasn't really spoken out on any GLBT issues, has he? I can't imagine what he'd say, honestly. Part of me thinks he'd purposefully rile up the base and throw them some nice homophobia but he's so inconsistent and incoherent i could just as easily see him saying he has lots of gay friends and that they're terrific

Trump will be busy with Rubio's eligibility to run for the next few days. He'll get to the gay rumor in due course.

if it becomes certain trump is going to win the nomination it might make sense for the party to kick him out anyway, despite the near guarantee that he'll run independent. at least it would help protect down ticket republicans - rep voters who would've voted dem rather than trump will still vote for a rep potus loser along with his ticket. trump voters will still need to pick a slate and it's likely to be rep.

I dont envision trump saying super homophobic stuff but who knows.

i imagine trump as the kind of straight who splits compositional hairs as to what kind of gay's respectable

Trump will say anything to get elected, so I wouldn't be surprised if he targets Rubio's supposed gay past but frames it as an issue of dishonesty/cowardice/untrustworthiness etc.

despite the near guarantee that he'll run independent.

there's balloting laws in place that would make it very difficult for him to do at this point, he's almost too far down the GOP nomination path. The closer he gets to it, the harder it would be for him to run third party.

to a table of guffawing sycophants

Bizarre: Kasich is on CNN right now, getting an apology for his kitchen comment dragged out of him by Wolf Blitzer. Trump is living in one universe, everyone else another. (I don't want to end up apologizing myself, but I took it as a relatively innocuous acknowledgement that the majority of women weren't yet in the workforce in 1978--in his own clumsy way, I think it was intended as praise.)

Too much MST3K, actually

yeah kasich's "kitchen" comment is clumsy/dumb but way way less offensive than his signing the bill defunding planned parenthood in ohio, which prompted the question which prompted the kitchen comment. is blitzer asking him about that?

an ostentation of peacocks
a murder of crows
a guffawing of sycophants

"Well, when I'm with a homosexual, I get a little homosexual," Trump said. "To make them feel at home, you see."

heh

I have worked with many homosexuals, the best! Many of my closest friends are homosexuals, beautiful, hard working people.

(xposts) Didn't know the full context of Kasich's comment..Just pointing out the disconnect: Kasich and everyone else are operating on standard time--say something someone objects to, renounce/retract/repudiate--while Trump is several time zones into the future. I'm not sure if anyone even bothers going through the apology drill with him anymore.

This is good--you could say the same of 20 other shows, though, including every one on Sunday morning. (Sorry if this was posted earlier today.)

Actually, you could say the same of Gingrich in 2012.

the lowest form of pol is someone who will say anything to get elected without doing some polling first

it's a mad mad MAD mad world!

This is great when they use the real voices (the impressions are lousy)--skipping-CD Rubio's my favourite.

wow! do you have a link? i'm curious who the outliers are in the Lost General set, the only points that enter Trump territory.

i got it from here https://twitter.com/adrian_gray/status/701954365800759298, no link with it though

good graph to look at when you are feeling unchill karl

fitting that Trump's section of the chart resembles black mold

same guy

bottom line, this might be a low-turnout election

good graph to look at when you are feeling unchill karl

feeling more chill, yesss...

feeling a little more chilly but memories of recent warmth keep me going

a graph to cherish in the bitter watches of the night

everyone quit talking
i'm thinking about my graph

the upcoming election will be about whether we prefer our acne in the form of blackheads or whiteheads

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/22/us/politics/delegate-count-leaving-bernie-sanders-with-steep-climb.html

the article is based around the fact that "Mrs. Clinton has 502 delegates to Mr. Sanders’s 70", but somehow they never manage to explicitly mention that they're tied 51-51 in terms of delegates awarded via primaries and caucuses

im v much hating this superdelegates narrative, too. i intro'd by gov/econ class today with an "elected delegate" count at 51 apiece in protest.

Weren't HIllary people up in arms over superdelegates around Super Tuesday in 2008 because Obama was picking up a bunch?

shhhhh, youerrrrrr RUUUUUining the New York Times' narrative and their March 2 "Sanders Must Bow Out" editorial!
