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

whoah I had no idea Trump had ROY FUCKING COHN lobby Es Meese to appoint Trump's sister to her judgeship.

i don't think sanders is anywhere near the existential threat as trump (tho i don't really think he's much of one either but clearly they are separated by leagues)

Cohn was Trump's lawyer!

xp

Roy Cohn: No. I have clout. Lots. I pick up that phone, dial 15 numbers, and guess who's on the other end of the line? In under five minutes, Henry.

Henry: The President.

Roy Cohn: Better — his wife.

just chatted with a local black small-business-owner here in Wisconsin who's voting Bernie

yes that post was my audition to replace thomas friedman at the new york times

where in wisconsin?

you know, i was reading about the oregon standoff folks today, and i'm surprised trump hasn't gone in on the feds over that stuff -- seems up his alley to float some conspiracy theories, gov't tyranny yadda yadda. wouldn't put it past him to glorify a bunch of militiamen.

uh no dude this is Freddie B in disguise

ratfucking the election

ben carson currently w/ larger % of the vote than rubio

(in MS)

Clowning Rubio is one of the only true pleasures of this hideous election season

Sanders appears to be doing fairly well so far in Michigan, possible upset?

I'm gonna miss him. He's the sort of guy to whom you gave noogies. He's the Sam Alito of GOP candidates.

Wish I could say I was surprised.

^word for word what I told a friend two weeks ago

i know detroit hasn't reported in yet so that will change things pretty dramatically, but bernie's up 51-48 in MI so far. polls had hillary up by a wide margin so this is kind of surprising.

yeah who knows whether it'll hold but clearly the polls were off on the dem side

I'm curious: what sort-of candidate could the ILX collective get behind? The only person I can imagine is des Esseintes from À rebours.

if he comes in below the threshold to get _any_ delegates in MI or MS then i guess it's not out of the question that he could go before florida

clearly the polls were off

Or partly late campaigning payoff?

paul o'neill endorsement for trump

it would be quite the late swing! 538's polls-only average was clinton 59-38

wonder who al leiter's endorsing

trump is out there plugging his golf courses

Closest Sanders ever was in the last couple of months was ten points down:

why the f you lying
why you always lying

omg trump has a merch table next to the podium

my kids are in hysterics

does he have his latest album on vinyl?

Quick somebody wake up Fredrick

being the president of the united states is a serious thing! trump is all about himself and this is embarrassing

xxp yup, and his "little marco" ep

bernie's up 51-47, 32% in

if detroit votes haven't been counted yet, that count will reverse itself quickly, i would guess

i mean he's like a drunk uncle giving a toast ffs

LOL

Some senators simply said they would support whoever won the nomination. Others smiled wanly, as if wishing they had superpowers that could remove them from the scene.

“It’s, uh, well, look at the alternatives,” Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona said when asked if his party could rally around Mr. Cruz at some juncture.

exit polls (small sample size obv) show sanders doing really respectably among blacks (32%) and neck and neck with clinton with women
