I will keep doing, but not worth it! The 2016 Presidential Primary Voting Thread

can ppl stop using "gubmit" in their strawmanning of conservative-speak, it reeks of classism

If Kasich really wants to appeal to the youth vote, he should rebrand himself as K-Sick and ride everywhere on a hoverboard.

damn kasich
damn kasich
back at it again with the defunding planned parenthood

also every Republican I've ever known loves to say "the federal government" articulately and emphatically

Like, he would at least start the campaign season with much higher name recognition among primary voters and the donor class than he did this time, and probably more than most possible entrants. I still think he, like Rubio really, is a mirage candidate as far as a general election goes - there's no 'electable moderate' actually there in his record.

People toss these "offer slot X to Y" things around way prematurely. "Trump should promise to nominate Cruz to SCOTUS!" "Perry for AG!" "Bolton's 'stache to the UN!" "Rubio/Cruz unity ticket!"

As if anyone is going to vote for you in a primary based on that kind of promise. Also, you'd just set yourself up to look like a mega-tool when it doesn't happen. Remember how much the Gores were ridiculed for "measuring the drapes" while the recount was still going?

The time to name your running mate is cabinet is when you're the nominee. The time to start naming your cabinet is when you're the president-elect. Full stop.

Erm, "The time to name your running mate is when you're the nominee. The time to start naming your cabinet is when you're the president-elect."

(And sorry crut, I won't do that again.)

FWIW in the dextrosphere the phrase is "Feral Government"

It didn't work for Reagan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Republican_National_Convention

i.e. announcing his veep pick

man I had totally forgot that about Schweiker. Reagan trying to attract liberals!

for the last time

fuck you, Ben Carson

stuff like this today with carson and kaisch (w planned parenthood) is like everyone is so focused on trump but honestly outside of his tone was is really that much of an outlier in the modern republican party in terms of his politics and platform?

Had to laugh at a woman they just had on CNN: it's time for Sanders to step away gracefully, like Clinton did when Obama won the nomination.

Clinton's graciousness in 2008 is something I'll always hold near to my heart.

but honestly outside of his tone was is really that much of an outlier in the modern republican party in terms of his politics and platform?

He just said he liked the individual mandate, you don't get much more of an outlier without burning a picture of Reagan onstage.

Well, he backtracked and said that he liked the mandate for insurance to cover sick people - which, thanks for reminding people that Obamacare made that happen!

you don't get much more of an outlier without burning a picture of Reagan onstage.

would borrow money to watch this tbh

what is the etymology of 'dextrosphere', a term i had not previously encountered

From "dexter", Latin for "right"

Presumably a back formation from "rightosphere"

How many of you don't like a Trump Presidency because you're afraid gangs of his supporters will beat you up? It's had to cross your mind a little bit.

in fact it has not

I don't look Muslim, so no.

in fact it has not

maybe it's my own imagination going crazy. i like to imagine that after trump is elected president america will instantly turn into a dystopia. roving bands of trump followers hassling people on the streets. burning trash fires. always have to look over your shoulder. i think it would be pretty cool.

i think they made a movie about it actually, Back to the Future 2

I've kind of been assuming that it would become easier to decide whether to move back to Canada.

yea tbh it would be pretty exhilarating

i didn't know Sund4r had migrated south!

I can't tell if this is serious or satire.

Ric Flair for Presidetn

Ha ha; Facebook informs me that Trump's slogan MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN anagrams to I AM A TACKIER MEGA-REAGAN.

I don't often feel sympathy for Clinton, but playing a Colbert clip during a town hall while she sits there watching? That made me squirm.

xpost hahahahahaha

that's some Bible Code shit right there
