OMG Politics, I'm over it already.

I think Trump will mostly likely become the next Sarah Palin. He’ll set up a phoney PAC, hire his family, do business with his own companies, let fringe candidates treat him like a king maker, and do lots of paid appearances on Fox News. There will be a few more books. Eventually he fade out when someone even crazier comes along.

He's already doing business with his own companies. Pretty much every resource his campaign is using (plane, offices, etc) are being leased from Trump industries. He's using campaign contributions to pay himself.
 
Never gonna happen. Middle states are far too terrifying.

He could call Obama the N-word on national television and still get a third of the electoral college.

Since this thread is like the NFL thread for political junkies, shouldn't we start a pool?

I'm going on record, Hillary 435 electoral votes.

so.....all the representatives, no senators and no DC votes? :grin:

(electoral votes: 435 representatives + 100 senators + 3 D.C. representatives = 538 total)

btw, you may be pretty close there. i really believe when the general population actually votes, Dumpster is going to get clocked.
all these polls don't mean anything. they are not a scientific representation of the general public's inclinations.
 
The US election procedure is a severe cluster fuck...


There's no rhyme nor reason...


May as well put names in a bag and have Theodore pick the winner...

I'm just having some fun. I do believe in the polls. The polls have been bounceing all over the place. Who knows where it will be come November. I'm guessing what the "general population" will do election day. You have to understand, if you are in this thread, you are a political junkie. You are not every American. Lots of folks don't pay this much attention. The polls reflect that. In October, they will pick up a newspaper, say WTF, and the polls will be closer to the end result.

Trump supporters never fail to amaze me. I've heard several people gushing about how great Trump's "economic plan" speech was, and how it proves that despite his not having any political experience, he knows how to make America great again.

When I mention that he didn't give any specifics about how to accomplish his goals, I'm accused of being a typical liberal dupe - unwilling to see what this country really needs.
 
going back to Reagan the republican establishment slowly wanted to leverage their influence over retarded Americans to bring their numbers up. The retards finally grew in size to outnumber traditional republicans and nominated Trump. Is Trump retarded? - probably not, he's part dumb-ass and part playing a role he thinks will appeal to retards. Remember he has supported Bill and Hillary in the past.

Hillary is a women who wants to break the glass ceiling in the top political office by imitating the worst traits of men who have occupied that office. She is essentially an old-school republican policy-wise except on popular social issues (gay marriage, etc.) where she's changed her opinion to match the times. She voted for the Iraq war, which we can thank for Isis today. She will also ignore global warming and environmental concerns like her husband and support the oil companies and fracking. The email scandal is a non-issue. She's dangerous for many more serious reasons than that.

Trump lacks the support of his party to be effective in office, unless he just takes a back seat to his Vice President as GW did in many regards. For a Bernie supporter like myself, Hillary getting into office will guarantee no other Democratic candidate (short of a disaster) for 8 years. If she loses we might get another (unless she's the energizer bunny) choice in 4 years.

Bernie or busters may have created the perfect storm where an otherwise unelectable republican candidate might have a chance if enough progressives break away from the democratic vote. Now another conservative might run.

This is the craziest election ever and I would never bet on the results.

Something to remember. This president will nominate 1 supreme court justice with a possibility of 2 more. I'll gladly take 8 years of Hillary to avoid Trump picking the justices that will screw the court for decades.

Are you implying that Ginsburg isn't going to last 8 more years? She's a spry 83. :grin:
