The Last Presidential Election Thread You Will Ever Wear

Nah. If the party reverses the voters like that, they're throwing away the general election. And everyone knows it, and the Republicans certainly don't have the balls to do it. If they had superdelegates, they'd have fallen in behind Trump. The same people that would have been "superdelegates" are doing it right now!
Oh I have already. Doggedly. I figure somebody in the bleachers might see it.
Trump knows where his bread is buttered.
Unfortunately for him, he also needs that unbuttered side, and the unbuttered side is utterly repulsed by the butter.

Can we not do the "someone on my Facebook feed posted something stupid" thing for a little while? I'm already going to be watching half my family and friends go through the whole Kubler-Ross model on Facebook as it is.
On the advice of my lawyer, I can neither confirm nor deny anything OptimusZed said outside of an official court hearing.

Or this:
Is not going to convince anybody, no matter how hard they try. In fact, since the GOPe is so despised by pretty much everybody, letting Trump beat on them some more is only going to raise his numbers.
Oh yeah, and Jill Stein weighed in:
I'm fairly certain at this point that the Republicans aren't planning on courting any voters that use logic.
Eh, I'm just worried about the long term impact on voter turnout, my bad.

Hey, Dance off!
It's like Al Capone is running for president. Jesus H. Christ.
I don't think either campaign was to happy with that announcement last night. If they had their way they would have waited till at least jersey came in tonight. Just strikes me as AP/NBC trying to be the first to announce which the night before the last major primaries of this cycle was pretty classless on their part.
so you say, didn't Trump mention his race?
yes BUT! the guy was part of a latino lawyers group! therefor that guy made it all about race first, rather than the constitution, thus he is the real racist.
both cooper and lemon pressed him very hard and quite honestly even laughed at him for saying this.
Eh. I mean it's surprising to see something that is close to investigative journalism and all but the AP is not under any obligation to announce in a way that pleases any of the campaigns.
NATO members all agree to spend at least 2% of GDP on defense when they sign up, but a bunch of them haven't been doing that since the Soviet Union stopped being a thing.
In that case it may be more enlightening to look at polling numbers rather than one guy's Facebook rant.
The gulf between what one is obligated to do and what one should do is vast. And to be clear, my objection isn't because it made the campaigns mad, but for that reason that I think media shouldn't broadcast exit poll results before polls close (though this is much less bad, IMO).
I have to agree. While disdain for the GOPe may well rule the Republican base, the Democratic base has room in their hearts to hate both the GOPe and Trump. So its up to the Independents. We have to ask the question, are they big enough to hate both the GOPe and Trump?
Its take a big heart to hate that much.
At least I tried to vote ok

Nothing really to do with pleasing the campaigns. It already waited this long with 6 states two of which some of the biggest in the country going to the polls tonight. They gained nothing for announcing last night and it was just disrespectful of the people going to the polls today. It bugs me in the same way I get seriously annoyed when I see states called on election day with like 10% of votes tallied.
People voting on the downticket. Trump only cares about it as a way to get rid of GOPe muppets for people loyal to him, and the GOPe is trying to position themselves as the "sane" alternative to Trump and Clinton. I mean, imagine if Biker LARP Guy actually manages to unseat Ryan, for example.
I mean, is not going to work, and no matter what happens is pretty much going to be the Dems vs. the Alt-Right from now on, but they are going to try.
True, but the phrasing just seems so redolent of "Nice Civilization. Shame if something were to happen to it. Things catch fire so easily."
It's okay, Hakks. This is how I felt when I sent in my Washington primary ballot.
Aye. Of a lot of Trump's foreign-policy crazytalk, the idea of getting NATO countries who aren't Britain, France, Greece, or Turkey to start paying up isn't the worst thing in the world. Or at least the call to do so would get NATO to reconvene and lower the spending demands to something more attainable. He's right to make it an issue and even his proposal isn't outlandish, it's mostly the attitude that's wrong (in this one very specific case).
Been a while since Obama was accused of being a white racist, I do miss the old complaints.

they waited because she hadn't reached the threshold though, not for any other reason
when she hit the threshold they called it. the expectation was it'd happen when Jersey came in tonight but instead 13 supers declared so it was done.
if you're mad for any reason blame the supers. but there's no reason to be mad.
They are trying to thread the needle in the most pathetic way. Their opponents aren't going to allow them to succeed at that.
Edit:
How were they not well prepared for this?
I could easily argue my cats spend their nights designing and building a space ship to return home. Probably not honestly or believably. Probably.
they're doing it
and everyone is confused. I admit I forgot too and when I was watching TV last night I was flabbergasted.
but they're just doing what Trump told them to. we know he did. it's his standard tactic.
well, all except Ted Cruz.

it removes the "Trump hired hispanics!" defense
I mean the things he -says- are textbook racism
But he may have a heart of gold! Words and actions are secondary to the power of secret heart feelings!
