POTUS Election thread

[a completely inoffensive name]

Trump stumped the establishment so bad today, Graham said the only choice may be too rally behind Ted "basket case" Cruz.

Interestingly, the last (?) poll in Minnesota (from mid-January) predicted this result:

Sanders 25%
Clinton 59%

Actual results were

Sanders 62%
Clinton 38%

Wonder if there are more like this one around.

(a lot of states appear to be missing polls altogether; or HP's overview hasn't included them)

Sanders is the plucky true-heart dem they would all want to be in their heart of hearts -- a true Social Democrat.

However, he has wins in: VT, NH, MN, CO, and OK to his name so far, and a tie in IA.

Vermont has elected and re-elected a self labeled socialist to the Senate; New Hampshire are Bernie's neighbors who have been hearing him on TV almost as long as has Vermont; Minnesota elected a professional wrestler to the governorship and a comedian to the Senate; Colorado is one of 4 states with legalized marijauna for recreational use; Oklahoma is a more "standard" state by US standards.....but hasn't voted for a Democrat President since LBJ (over Goldwater) when I was 9 months old.

Bernie is getting all the true hearts and all the eclectic states....he doesn't have the broader support he will need for a nomination. Heck, he even lost Massachusetts, which should have been in his wheelhouse (He DID win western Mass, but lost Boston to Clinton's machine).

I'm still half convinced Trump is a Hillary plant.

If the was any justice in the world, or less likely, our DOJ had the cojones; she would spend the rest of her life behind bars. Instead we get immunity handed out like Candy to former Staffers.

I voted for Kasich in the primaries because he is the closest to my actual views. However, burning the whole system down is my second choice and that means supporting Trump in the general. I won't support Bernie and I think Hillary is a felon, so that kind of rules the democrats out.

I watch the media and continue to be Jacks complete lack of surprise as they still can't understand Trump or the anger that drives people to vote for him. It's exactly that kind of smug condescension that will get him elected. At which point I hope S.E. Cupps high class head explodes.

I voted for Kasich

I always knew that deep down, all you Americans want to be ruled by Slavs.

Kasich is also the one I like the best, and surpise, at the same time he's widely unpopular with the GOP base. I've seen others describe him as a "republican for people who hate republicans". God forbid they should pick someone who is palatable to a broader public.

Depending on who wins eventually, that might have to be amended to anyone but Muslims and Mexicans.

Anyone can be American

Except Ted Cruz and Obama, apparently.

I get the same half feeling about Trump the more I see how the Republicans are doing. The Republican candidates are being trolled into a mess. Look what happened to Jeb. Actually, Trump's verbal attacks remind me of the actings done by the WWE wrestlers. (I've read Trump's book before he announced his presidential campaign. Believe it or not, his book mentioned how he enjoyed the WWE and his participation of it). On the other hand, I've read about an issue about his father that creeps me out.

Looks to me like Nebraska is Berning, though no official confirmation yet.

So I havent seen the latest debate but considering the gif that was made in the hours after it ended...



I'm guessing Trump wasnt quite stumped?
