Thread: Looks like Drumpf and the Mirror of Erised are winning Super Tuesday

I think people just stay home. I don't know what it's like around the rest of the country, but here in Texas Drumpf is cancer #1, even worse than Hillary.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but as much as I despise Hillary, I think she's a more known variable. Drumpf is simply so unpredictable that factor alone makes him too scary to put in office. Most of the Republicans I know are not torn. It's "anyone other than Drumpf". Man I hope he doesn't win.

What do you think, K?

Yeah, that's how my parents feel. They heard that Trump came out ahead Super Tuesday and actually looked mortified. I'm not exaggerating either. They ended up voting for Rubio, I think. They think he's the most electable, if "sweaty for a robot." The only candidate I think they would be happy with is Romney.

Are there laws preventing someone from being married to their VP?

As a Jesse "The Widow of an American Hero Sueing" Ventura survivor, I have seen this before. Jesse came in the same way, and pissed all the right people off. Once he was in office, he managed to piss everyone else off. It became less about serving the people who elected him, and more about serving his bloated ego. The best part in his Governorship was the last two years because he had zero support and could get nothing done.

Trump is the next Jesse. Which still might be a bit better than a Hillary who can get shit done. Either way.....we're screwed.

LOL I never thought we'd be begging for Romney

#MittsTheTits

Fucking Romney and his ilk is why Trump is where he's at. Fuck him and his repub establishment who fall to their knees when one of the super pac lobbyist tell them to lick their balls and Ranger didn't Perry endorse Cruz, now lets see what does Perry do for a living now... oh yeah that's right he works for a lobby group. Hey ole buddy my pal how bout a favorable nod over here ,the merry go round continues . I'll take my chances with Trump

There is no valid reason to vote for bernie. Hillary should be sitting in prison not running for office. If dems even come close to winning this shit its because people are more fucking retarded then i gave them credit for.

There's plenty of valid reasons to vote for Bernie. Just because his vision for America includes free college and other massive things that likely will never happen doesn't mean he can't still do a lot of good fixing our crumbling infrastructure, corrupt campaign finance system, providing better care for our vets, and limiting wall street corruption to a lesser degree. Those alone are bi-partisan issues than any candidate, rep or dem should be committed to - and Bernie is the only one talking about it.

People act like democratic socialism is this new thing that has no place in USA - like we don't already have social programs that we all already pay taxes for everyone to get access to. Social security, Medicare, public education, and everything else the government provides or funds are social programs paid for with tax payer money. Nothing new, Bernie just recognizes that everything the government offers sucks ass at providing it and needs to be improved.

As a former marine, your benefits you were/are entitled to didn't just magically appear because because the government said so. Those are programs paid into by tax dollars and Bernie's desire to see vets treated and cared for properly is something I thought more vets would be on board with, regardless of political leanings.

Don't get me wrong, I get why strong conservatives don't like him and there's a decent amount of his views I take issue with too - there are leeches on the system who abuse it that should be working and paying back into the system - I am a working, tax-paying, white, american, registered republican too and am right-leaning on a lot of issues. But let's not for a second pretend like the almost 50,000 homeless vets in the US according to the 2014 census aren't a symptom of the same issues that also produce the other Lifetime welfare recipients who could be working also. The government puts their money where their mouth is when push comes to shove and it's time to get hard when we go to war, but we're failing to recognize how difficult it is to keep things good back home when our boys and girls get back. Bernie says we need to take better care of vets and I agree. Bernie says super-PACs are undermining the electoral process and I agree. Bernie says our citizens deserve access to quality health care regardless of income and I agree. These aren't new ideas and they are crucial ones at that.

If a dem wins I'd much rather have Sanders in office than Hillary. Plenty of reasons to vote Bernie

Fuck Bernie. Same tired class warfare shit. If you took a shot every time he said "fair share" (while NEVER defining just what a person's "fair share" should be), one would be dead of alcohol poisoning in ten minutes.

Anyone watch the debate last night?

Trump had his ass habnded to him. Rubio looked like a champ when he took Trump to school over Trump University. Cruz and Rubio took turns paddling Donald's ass. It was good tv.

Watched some highlight videos. Agreed, Rubio and cruz both came out strong. Kasich had a decent night but he just doesn't have the showmanship that garners media attention like the others.

"Hello megan, you look well" was hilarious and you could just hear the tension, lol.

Season 4 of house of cards just came out tonight and I started watching it. When I first started season 1, I was like "no, this is great drama but that doesn't really happen". But now, I have no doubt that the political scene is full of shady shit that goes on every day. I'd bet half of the current candidates have done the same shady things that go on in that show to have gotten where they are
