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

Ha! He should just go ahead and name his cabinet, the menu for his inauguration ball, and the color of the drapes in the Oval Office.

Do we all get to just pick VP's? If so, today I want to announce my VP pick, Darius Rucker. Wagon Wheel will be played at all stops.

my pick would be Carlos Santana to play Oye Como Va at all of my campaign stops.

I like the choice, but it seems like a hail mary pass from your own 1 yard line.

I don't know what she adds. He needs an insider, but I doubt any insider would take him up on the offer, especially this early in the proceedings. Like you say, it's a hook shot from half court. He has nothing to lose, but things must be much more dire for him than what he's saying.

I'm sure Carly Fiorina's voter will really seal the deal for Cruz

“Lucifer in the flesh,” the former speaker said. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

Holy ****. I bet Trump would pay millions for that sound byte.

Bobby Knight said Trump would "have the guts to drop the (nuclear) bomb" http://bit.ly/24n9TIr

Republicans (Trump 2016) rely on low voter turnout.
Just sayin'

Trump seemed pleased with Knight's praise, calling him "a national treasure."
 
If Sanders said it once, he said it a thousand times. "Corporate Greed" is to blame for the plight of the average American. Big shot CEO's treat their laborers like dirt. They're always focused on the bottom line. They fail to "put people over profits".

Now the news breaks that Bernie himself will be laying off hundreds of campaign workers across the country. Can you believe it? How ruthless!

Oh sure, Sanders tries to explain it rationally:

“We want to win as many delegates as we can, so we do not need workers now in states around the country. We don’t need people right now in Connecticut. That election is over. We don’t need them in Maryland. So what we are going to do is allocate our resources to the 14 contests that remain, and that means that we are going to be cutting back on staff.”

Blah...blah...blah...

How dare he try to pull the old corporate trick that resources are scarce? When was the last time he opened a government schoolbook?

Resources are not scarce!

Furthermore, it wasn't Bernie that got all those votes and delegates. It was his hard-working campaign staff! It was their blood, sweat and tears. They should be the ones reaping the benefits of their work.

Nope. Instead the benefits go right to the top.

The hard workers get pink slips.

It's not like Bernie doesn't have the money.

Here's a man, who is supposedly "getting money out of politics," that is literally swimming in cash! The Washington Post tells us that: "Bernie Sanders is outraising, outspending and outadvertising Hillary Clinton’s campaign".

Sanders has all this money and he's "cutting back" on his staff? Talk about being used and abused.

Greedy Bernie....very greedy.

Walk the talk. Keep all your staffers. They're tired of the 1% getting all the benefits. Give them "access" to jobs. It is their "right" to work for you, and you have a "social responsibility" to make sure they stay employed.

Don't "discriminate" between staffers in one state versus another. They are all "equal" in value to your campaign.

And finally, you firing campaign staffers will certainly contribute to climate change.

Don't do it Bernie.

Think about the children.​

With all that money he's been raising, you'd think he could have kept people on to lick envelopes and enter data into computers.
 
Can't speak to legal entanglements but hoping the money goes to down ticket candidates.

Posters that predictably take all sides to an issue or are simply politically tone deaf. This is face saving concession 101.
Proving you don't have to burn a village to save it

Sounds to me more like excusing one side's effed up behavior by changing nothing on your side, but exhibiting almost obsessive coverage of the bad behavior of someone on the other side, and it's especially gratifying when that behavior comes from someone who at least claims to care about "regular people", something you know damn well your own side doesn't do. Of course I'm probably just misunderestimating this whole situations, right?

I just think it was funny coming from Sanders. Of course he has to lay off people. Sanders and his team raised a ton of money in the Moveon.org fashion; a lot of money in small amounts from a large number of people. Michelle Bachmann also raised a ton of money this way. It was almost impossible in an earlier era when people had to write a check and put in an envelope and mail it off. With the internet and debt/credit cards, candidates can really rake in the cash in small amounts from a multitude of givers who can't afford to rent a tux and head off to a $1,000/plate rubber chicken fundraiser. So as much as I don't really cotton to Sanders personally, I have to give him and his team credit for being able to shake the trees as effectively as they did. Curious to see where the money goes if/when he drops out.

True and you know I wasn't talking about "you" you, it was a more metaphorical you, just trying to make a point without starting a flame war. :)

Bernie obviously isn't going to win the Dem nomination and that in and of itself isn't a big deal, the people decide that's what democracy is. The bad part IMO is all the BS Hilldog and her minions got away with during several of these primary votes and while you didn't hear squat from the Repubs about it, just wait till November it will all of a sudden matter and unless she changes the specifics of her BS the Repubs will be waiting for and filming her "unique campaign winning strategies" and then all of a sudden it WILL matter and it'll be a huge national disgrace and the National Guard will have to be called out, and so on.

I realized you weren't talking about me personally and even if you were, I would have taken it with the humor intended.

What I see Bernie doing is using the money as BerniePac and supporting candidates like Russ Feingold in Wisconsin and Tammy Duckworth in Illinois with it. That way, he maintains his progressive cred and doesn't have to cozy up to Hilldog.
