It was expected. I think it's more worrisome for the Republican Party than it is for opponents of Trump. He's got a lot of states to go through before he can win.

Hilary has 324 delegates and Bernie only has 43..

How is this even possible..

Rob, Omega, Lest, Tze, Adam.

How you liking this Trump win.

It figures though, all are big government supporters.

Honestly, considering how he would get slaughtered in a general election and after seeing how scummy Cruz and Rubio are, I am hoping he gets the nomination. It would break the GOP in half.

This is like the 2nd if not 3rd time you've done this, I post in this thread almost daily, not counting weekends. The others you've named are also active.

Basically the same reason I hope he wins.

He probably wouldn't win in the general election. And the two runner ups seem worse.

So after reading that article, you still like the Clintons?

Do you have a direct quote saying I liked them? I stated before I would vote for her out of pragmatism, but that was before Sanders proved himself a viable candidate.

Real question is you like Sanders? Because he is an unbashed socialist. Almost seems like you are rooting for him just to spite Hillary rather than their differences in worldview.

So your only opinion is "you like Sanders cause he's not Hilary."

😂

Clearly you know nothing about my anti-establishment opinions.

Sanders is also pro guns and a pro veteran..

"She may be surprised to discover that the younger generation no longer wants to play her game. Or maybe not. Maybe we’ll all continue to play along and pretend that we don’t know how it will turn out in the end. Hopefully, one day, we’ll muster the courage to join together in a revolutionary movement with people of all colors who believe that basic human rights and economic, racial, and gender justice are not unreasonable, pie-in-the-sky goals. After decades of getting played, the sleeping giant just might wake up, stretch its limbs, and tell both parties: Game over. Move aside. It’s time to reshuffle this deck. "

This is an old article, but I just heard on MS that Jim is actually going to do this, and he is announcing it tomorrow "officially."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/11/29/how-a-jim-webb-independent-presidential-bid-could-actually-matter-hint-virginia/

So now it looks like Bloomberg and Webb will both be running for independent.

Allies Panic about Hilary's message, people are clueless what she really stands for.

The far left and far right are both scary

We know your a creepy gay guy on the Internet curious about men's penis, but do you have to be a flamer?

An interesting article: Rubio's political career is probably over

I'm not completely sure, but it makes a pretty good argument- his odds of President are pretty low at this point. He's already said he's not going to run for the senate again and that he thinks being there is a waste of his time- hard words to run on even if he changed his mind. Senate-to-House moves almost never happen and are a clear step down. And it's hard to run on anything when people remember you leaving a presidential race *looking* like a loser (a strong showing is fine, leaving quickly before things get serious is fine, trying your hardest and falling apart is not). Considering foes like Trump are likely to have no problem kicking him when he's down, this seems likely.

And as this one notes, while he says such a flub won't happen again, he's let his supporters down before.

The most likely avenue for him would be waiting a few years then running for governor, but does he have the reputation for that at this point?

I don't agree at all with that article.

Christy proved one thing, his attempt to take Rubio down failed. He ended up looking like the fat guy who's picking on the little guy. And now look, he suspended his campaign.

Christie is a total idiot.

And now people are catching on that Rubio is not the only who who says the same thing over and over..

Its interesting that you think Rubio is done, but you dont have anything to say about Hilary having 400 delegates and basically has not one a single caucus or primary.

She doesn't actually. She has people who are superdelegates who have pledged support, but can change their minds.

If she fell apart, they'd do so. If she is winning the states, they won't.

Superdelegates have never actually decided a race.

In non-switchable locked in delegates, Sanders is up by 4.

So despite the name, superdelegates are a bit inferior to have- more a way to stop ties and such.
