I'm not afraid of Trump, to be honest I enjoy seeing him win the primaries because I'm in the camp that believes he has zero shot in the general and represents a .01 % chance to actually kill the Republican party by running. But, however, do not mistake me saying 'I enjoy seeing him win primaries' as any type of approval for the man or the idiotic, racist, sexist, and generally terrible things that come out of his mouth. He's disgusting, and the support he's gotten is even more disgusting. I'm just not afraid of him. I'm still pro-"watch Trump burn this mother down" when it comes to the GOP primary.

James Arryn Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Trump going independent would be awesome. Not because GOP fail, but because I think the world would really benefit from an alternative to the Blues and Greens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHS - and an expanded one - would be really interesting though. Sanders has never practiced law. And I hope he would refuse to serve in a Clinton administration in any capacity.

Altherion Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 So Rubio did actually win Minnesota. This is also the only state so far where Trump has finished third. Unfortunately for Rubio and Cruz, it is also a state where the delegates are divided more proportionally than in most of the others so it doesn't help them very much.

Clinton won a bunch of red states with 35 states to go including CA, NY, PA, IL, OH, FL, etc. and y'all writing Obituaries for Sanders. Ha, I just saw you on fb crowing about Bernie's win in Oklahoma, a state that hasn't voted Democrat in more than 50 years. Either red states don't matter or they do. You can't have it both ways.

That's been a predicted problem for this whole "beat Trump" thing. The states he may do badly in are proportional and the ones he does well in are frequently not apparently. Plus there's many with a "below 20% means you get no delegates at all" threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to pull up my results tracker to confirm. Does Rubio have some tie to Minn I don't know about? He didn't just win, he fucking obliterated!

Given that, if he doesn't win the nomination, he's bound to have a much more powerful voice in the Senate, and I'd rather him use that voice as a check against military adventurism, and join with Warren to try and prevent Clinton from pivoting to the right on economic issues. Christ, I wish Warren had run this year. Clinton likely would have been toast. Completely agree on Warren, I wonder if she's kicking herself.

While stumping for his wife, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton entered a polling station at the Holy Name Parish School’s gymnasium in West Roxbury early Tuesday. It was there that he spoke with workers, bought a cup of coffee, and apparently took a photo with one woman, according to press pool reports. Looking forward to 4 more years of this kind of stuff.

I was gonna say that it's probably a bonus big-picture, but a quick fact check reveals she's a lot older than I thought she was. For whatever reason, I thought she was 58-60ish. Assuming a double Clinton presidency, she'll face the same 'too old' accusations as Bernie and McCain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything anyone is talking about here then. What does electability have to do with the results of tonight? The fact that they are "red states" (Ma is a red state now?) does not seem relevant to anything here except in trying to act like their votes don't matter to try and mitigate Sanders losses there. It doesn't even seem relevant to what you are now saying. So far 15 states, 1 territory and 1 ... are the only ones to have voted, but the trends they indicate and the lead they generate for Clinton heavily tilts the potential for the rest of the race in her favour.

Well then I'm confused as to why you chose to qualify Clinton's wins as "red states", as if they didn't really matter, as if their being "red" somehow makes winning (or losing) them less important. If that's what you believe, fine. But if that truly is what you believe then you have to also apply that reasoning to Bernie's win in Oklahoma.
