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

Oh Hillary, I'm really trying with you, but ... "we're all in this together" is such an obvious Sanders rip-off. Couldn't you at least have reworded a little bit? "All for one, one for all" maybe? "El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido"? "No one can stop us now, tonight we're on the loose"?

That Jon King line was pretty funny--tomorrow he'll claim never to have heard of the Redneck Country Club.

Sanders getting clobbered in Alabama

the whole south. annihilated.

gotta say, clinton used the party machine to her advantage in texas. all the local pols were in full force as surrogates.

that's what a party is for after all

i knowwww

"We were annihilated, George, we were annihilated."

xp oh no I didn't mean to be belittling D:

s'okay silby

there was definitely some grassroots bernie support in san antonio, but i never got the impression that they got much done. this was a less persistent bunch than the obama campaign 8 years ago.

it's worrisome just how conventional Hillary's rhetorical devices are. This wouldn't normally be a large concern, but this year...

Bison, bro, who has the time. South by is in less than a fortnight homes.

Clinton pulling away in MA now

Keeping my fingers crossed for Bernie in Minn

Rick Scott endorsing Trump tonight according to Fox News.

"Tonight is the beginning of Donald Trump bringing the people of our nation together"--Christie.

Absolutely. We're even feeling the imminent togetherness up in Canada.

lol

Is there anything more nauseating than watching Chris Christie play caddy for Donald Trump?

"Apparently, Carson is saying he’s going to refuse to drop out of the race even if he doesn’t win any states tonight, saying “he’ll listen only to God and his supporters” since “the mainstream media is seeking to silence him.” All in all, a great prank by God."

Anecdotal but friends saying Minneapolis neighborhood caucuses are packed, insane lines, running out of actual ballots & using pieces of paper

Wow, Trump sticking the knife into Rubio tonight. That's amazing--not from Trump, but trying to imagine that before Trump.

which, if any, will be the first state rubio wins? hawaii?

nah i'm betting we go for trump.

I remember Huckabee staying in long after he'd been mathematically eliminated, saying "I didn't major in math, I majored in miracles."

Rubio: "Do not give into the fear, do not give into anger. Do not give into sham artists and con artists who try to take advantage of your suffering, your hardships."
going for the old "not the robots you're looking for" ploy

are there Mexicans in Hawaii

Even though Cruz is winning Texas, it looks like Rubio may win Austin. Who knew?

can't wait to see who in the GOP falls in the Trump conga line and who rails against his apostasy til the very end

God, this press conference and Christie's face in the backgrounds

My sense is that, unless Sanders did really well in Worcester, the state is probably hers?

I doubt that anyone who falls into the conga line will look more painfully diminished than Christie does right now.

Goo, this ass conference and Christie's face in the background

Trump will be our next President. Listening to his press conference, it's like music. Pure poetry.

God, this press conference and Christie's face in the backgrounds

God, this press conference and Christie's face in the backgrounding

Trump says he'll get along with Paul Ryan, and, "if I don't, he's gonna have to pay a big price, O.K.?"

politics as wrestling bloodsport is amazing and weird and terrifying and hysterical

Christie is a Machiavellian genius. He's not going to be governor for much longer. So now he'll either be Vice President (or goebbels or whatever) if trump wins, or rewarded with some bank making business bullshit role if he loses

trump says absolutely nothing except empty slogans and shit talk. its amazing.

God, this press conference and Christie's face in the backgrounder

a screaming fascist manbaby is the choice for leader from a considerable percentage of the american population and that's not a good thing

trump is going to win the nomination. i keep wondering about who is going to fall in line behind him and who will be too principled. will nro/commentary types truly #nevertrump or will jonah goldburg dutifully support the nominee? marco rubio? the bush family or romney?

God, this press conference and Christie's face like a moon pie in the background

jeez, even the usually sober Talking Points Memo has bought into the cable news/advertising twaddle that Cruz's two wins are a "major upset."

God, this press conference and Christie's face in Trump's ass

hasn't been called by anyone yet. boston is about 83% in and there's still a lot of boonies (which should be good for bernie) at 0%

#bernies you mean

This has to be a demoralizing nightmare for 97% of the (phantom?) Republican establishment: they now have to choose between Trump or Cruz. That's all that left.

more lately (~25 years), but hawaii is a dem machine state and i'm p sure its republican primary base is embattled-feeling whites and a handful of rich asians. from a political perspective the black population is zero. we also have unusually low turnout (for america!) which i guess is bad for trump if it continues, but this is a weird year.

"ted cruz is having his victory party at the redneck country club.. that's the name of it, don't get mad at me for saying it"

Not only is it real, it's in my hometown, next to a Waffle House, an off-brand motel (used to be a LA Quinta), and a WalMart. The owner is a local Right Wing douchecanoe radio guy.
