2016 Presidential Primaries [ SUPER TUESDAY | 3-1-'16]

50# can probably explain this better. but looking at exit polls demographics, Sanders, Cruz,Rubio etal are toast.

HRC held a 10 point advantage with white voters in SC and overwhelmingly won voters of color.
Trumps lead is insurmountable ch or any of the other candidates.

What will be interesting is between now and the conventions. Trump is a sitting duck with no one to lash out against. The voters that will appreciate him attacking HRC, he already has.

This is just starting to get good

I looked at the SC exit polls and I think they show an uphill battle for those behind Trump and Clinton. Trump continues to poll stronger than expected among some segments of the Republican Party and I just can't see enough disparate parts coalescing--or at least coalescing around a single person--to derail Trump.

On the Democratic side, Hillary seems to be winning in all but two categories; those who want the next President to be more liberal and, for lack of a better term, the hipster vote. Those two are often one and the same, but Clinton is pretty strong across the board. Sanders is still going to win some states. I'll be surprised if he doesn't win in Minnesota on Tuesday night. We are, after all, the state where Walter Mondale is President. He'll make noise all the way to the convention, but I think that will be more to pressure Clinton on domestic issues.

I really laugh at Nikki Haley's quote. The Republican coalition that brought them success over the past couple of decades is falling apart. It's been held together only by negative reactive energy aimed at Obama in the post-W era.
 
" So this is where the Republican primary stands. Marco Rubio, establishment boy wonder, is trying to catch bully supreme Donald Trump with taunts about spray tans and penis size. Trump is responding by linking Rubio’s attacks to the Republican establishment and in traditional Trump fashion: With insults, dubbing Rubio “Little Rubio” and “Little Marco” and so on. "

This might be a good time to reflect on why it is HRC is not your perfect candidate for POTUS.

I look forward to 57 and goldy pulling the lever for Hilary... who formerly sat on the board for Walmart for 6 years, who supported the Iraq war, is financed by wall street, said marriage is sacred between 1 man and 1 woman, and so on and so on

I'm about 70% amused and about 30% horrified by Haley's quote. I guess the most favorable interpretation is that they don't want to have a public battle for the soul of their party during crunch time in an election year, but, damn . . . what a strange sentiment, and supportive of your conclusion, IMO.

It is my duty as a citizen to vote for the candidate I think best.
HRC in my mind would make a better POTUS than Trump,Cruz,Rubio,Kasich,Carson, the former Governor from New Mexico and that lady Z talks about who's name again escapes me

What is your point ?

My point is that your team is more important than your principles... Don't worry, you're not alone
 
no, I vote for the candidate that gets as close to my principles as possible.

It just so happens, it has a (D) label more often than not.

For the 100th time, I will vote Sanders in the primary. Even then there is an argument to be made he isn't my "dream candidate"

I don't have an issue with you voting Sanders... you're both equally as stupid, so it makes sense.

But Hilary has been on the side of just about everything you have railed against for so long... surprised you'll support her.

Actually, no I'm not
 
as opposed to Trump,Cruz or Rubio.
????????????????
Those are the choices
HRC will get my vote over Trump even if Trump were running as a (D) and spouting all the dog whistles (D) supposedly responds to

Slowly and begrudgingly coming to the conclusion that you just don't understand how our society functions and how civilization survives.
I mean little things like the macro-function of the Supreme Court or the election process.
Simply put, majority rules. For better or worse and if you think it worse, get involved and change it

"majority rules" is the problem.

But hey, keep supporting the system we all hate so much. After all, if Hitler vs Stalin were the two choices, we have to vote for one of em right??
 
Now that Trumps identification with White Nationalism iscommon knowledge - let's assume
for conversation sake, Trump would fill your Hitler example

are you then comparing HRC to Stalin?

I'm doing neither.

I'm pointing out the absurdity of the supporting the lesser of two evils mantra.
 
I don't think either Trump or Clinton evil.
Policy and temperament wise favors Clinton.

people i disagree with are not inherently evil - as some here are prone to feel
so we are talking right past each other

evil, really?
pretty strong word
 
I would frankly be in favor of a multi party system. In Britain multiple parties have to come up with coalitions to get things done. We would have a better distinction of progressives, blue dogs, moderates, conservatives, libertarians.

Well Hilary is a war criminal and a liar... so yeah, I'd call her pretty evil.

I read an awful lot of current events and

Disagree with policies she advocated as a Senator or disagree with her performance as SOS but only
and only fringe blogs that have flailed against her for 25 years would agree with/support that harsh assessment

Think about how much I would hate for fascist trump or the religious crazy Cruz to have the power to nominate judges for me to overlook all that to vote for her if it comes to that

I really don't want to vote for the moderate republican but I will at the end of the day
