-Enjoy the show while it lasts; if it comes down to Trump vs. Hillary, there is 0%...read, ZERO percent chance Trump wins.
It's a numbers game really.
No matter how fervent or fired up middleaged-nativist-white people get, it's not enough to win the presidency.
Even his appeal to independents or the Anti-Hillary vote will not be close to "enough".
Keep in mind I've been right in the past on these sorts of political predictions. Well, it's not that hard to be right, let me rather say that I was right "early on".
-Trump is funny and entertaining to me most of the time, despite the lies he spews. I'll tell you right now he doesn't believe deep down a lot of what he's saying. He's trying to win the republican nomination, and he's doing a good job of it.
-I hate the religion of Islam, but have I've got nothing against Muslims... Think about it.
-Banning a religious group from emigrating is not realistic or lawful. Not gonna happen; don't worry about it.
-Sure, vet Syrians. Better safe than sorry. But they are desperate. Suffering the worst of human tragedies. Help them.
I'd say there is a much bigger likelihood that the next radical islamist attack on US soil will come from lone wolfs/internet recruits who are already here/already citizens.
-The UK legislature's publicity stunt was pretty laughable. The best thing they could have done to make their point would have been a public statement, which said "We welcome Donald Trump to our country with open arms." Instead they lower themselves to the same tactics they wish to condemn?
-Only way to stop illegal immigration is to punish employers who knowingly hire them. Hefty fines; possible jail terms for repeated violators.
-I could never put my finger on why I dislike Hillary. But I finally figured it out-- besides the inauthentic vibes she gives off... it's more than that. Her public speaking is way too scripted and pandering... And the tone and inflections she uses make it sound like she's addressing her audience as little kids...little children to cheer her speechwriter's concise jab or inspiring phrase. Makes me vomit in my mouth a lil' to hear her speeches.
-People, especially right-wing voters, are so stupid. Benghazi benghazi!!! Talk radio and faux news just continually repeat lies until they become pavlovian response for their sheep..
-Bernie Sanders policy suggestions?... not unrealistic from a funding perspective.. Fractions of a penny taxes for rampant speculation trading.. &forcing the largest tax-dodging corporations to take their money from tax havens and pay... But, yes, unrealistic from a Congress perspective. Don't see Dems winning the house due to gerrymandering and idiots who vote in right wing nuts...also the special interests/lobbyists who court both parties.
-It's almost a dream world we're living in, in this country. The Palin endorsement speech is pretty much a summation of what we've devolved into. And it's not all "our" fault. The public is looking for anything other than "the establishment", and celebrity certainly helps.
-Rubio is the smartest, most acute on policy, and most electable of the Repubes... but he doesn't even do his job in Congress. Absentee alot, even before he was campaigning.
Also, his policies would have us embroiled in more counterproductive wars in the middle east. "Zero daylight" with us and Isreal... lmao, he and Scott Walkers, well... most of their slogan.. Sad.
Oh, and if a girl got raped and impregnated by her Dad he would want her to carry the baby for 9 months.
He's got a better shot at winning the Rnomination than people think.. Cruz and Trump very popular but it's a long year... Trump has been invincible so far but his ego will get him into at least a little bit of trouble at some point before the general election
-Cruz is a weasel, a caricature, but he's good at what he does. 0% chance in the general election as well.
-If I lived in a state where it mattered, I'd probably vote for Sanders because I don't like Hillary and because he is voicing the problems of our fkd up system. But I'm in NY... Hillary. So my 1 vote is quite negligible. We'll see.
-Trump is so easily playing on (not just nativist sentiments), but fantasy sentiments of the good ol' days, when america was the shit and we did whatev we wanted, and before our Debt Economy and military industrial economy and paper/investment economy "caught up with us"...
-No matter who's running for president, a lot of people blame their problems on gays and brown people. A lot, but not enough to win nationwide elections.
-the president does not control the economy, stupid!, as Immortal Technique once said
-It is amazing to me that people do not understand the magnitude of the 07-08 WORLDWIDE financial collapse. I have no problems with Democrat claims that Obama made it "less bad" in the U.S.... I don't love the guy or all his policies, but I think that's true. Many people disagree with that; but if pressed I will provide actual data and facts for my claim, unlike them.
-The problem with the need for massive change and overhaul (money in politics, a calcified congress)...is that people are too busy trying to pay the bills and raise families. Too busy to stay afloat. They don't have time to organize or fight for these things.
-Any substantive policy discussions can be instantly ended by bringing up abortion, gays, or guns...
-Speaking of guns, that's a place where I align more with the right-wingers and Bernie over Hillary.
To think of suing a gun store for millions and ruining the owner's lives... because a dude used one of their guns in a massacre? Ludicrous.
There are already laws on the books. If they were negligent or gave the guy a gun when he shouldn't be allowed to have one-- then they will be sued/prosecuted..
-Certain factions of Liberals have pissed me off of late. It makes me see why some people get so frustrated with them... like.. guns, affirmative action, the ridiculous levels of PC, being offended, needing a certain quota of blacks to win fuckin movie awards or the sky is falling, nothing against gays but stop being flamboyant if you wanna be treated like everyone else..
-Why do we have so many "evangelicals" in this country?
They have big voter turnout; that is another problem in our country.
voting is a basic right though... we should be looking for more folks to vote instead of less.. Right, republicans?
-"Vote them ALLLL out.... then elect the craziest of the craziest Tea partiers,,, that'll help things... u know those rigid constitutionalists who have no ulterior social agendas. lol (sarc)
aight i'll shup now
