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

yr both fped and banned

This discussion of Hillary and the article's assertion "She cares." reminds me of the famous quote from George Bush the Elder in 1992:

"Don't cry for me, Argentina. Message: I care."

With daria-g, I also think HRC cares about a variety of issues associated with liberal domestic policies, such as education, voting rights, poverty, and such. She'd do what she could to support enlightened policies regarding these issues. I do get the impression that she will back down on them more quickly than Bernie, because "once burned, twice shy" and she's been burned more than once.

i agree w/ you, daria and i liked that daily beast article

for me shes an avatar of the disastrous neoliberal phase of the democratic party, im open to the idea that that may be somewhat unfair or lacking in nuance, but also imo she lacks political vision which is a problem, im not too concerned with the insincere affect other than it maybe makes it more likely that a republican cld win the presidency

fwiw i suspect voting for her is likely the right thing to do in that it will produce better outcomes but im gonna vote bernie anyway since clintons winning and yolo

Goon otm, that's also my perspective basically. Although I assume she will govern in a less objectionable way than her husband did, because the party's priorities and even its constituency has changed over the past twenty years

yeah the leftward tilt of the party since then is heartening and bernies popularity is a majorly good and needed message to her too xp

Lol yu gi oh xp

all politicians are lizardpeople bent on our destruction

Yes, but you want to vote for the ones that'll take the longest getting there.

Efforts to unite warring candidates behind one failed spectacularly: An overture from Senator Marco Rubio to Mr. Christie angered and insulted the governor. An unsubtle appeal from Mitt Romney to John Kasich, about the party’s need to consolidate behind one rival to Mr. Trump, fell on deaf ears. At least two campaigns have drafted plans to overtake Mr. Trump in a brokered convention, and the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, has laid out a plan that would have lawmakers break with Mr. Trump explicitly in a general election.

wow

A group of Republicans is moving quickly to research ballot-access requirements for independent candidates in case Trump wraps up the GOP nomination next month.

lol

LOL, I give Mitch about two weeks max before he and his senate pals line up to kiss Trump's ass

contested convention, third party candidates, congress running against trump yes these are good plans that will definitely work

the party going all out to attack him and failing wld be the best

operation American Valkyrie failed, we only incinerated his hairpiece

I think they're too chickenshit to do any of this

"The Republican party is taking 2016 off - we'll be back in 2020 with two candidates if that's ok"

Carson and Kasich need to gtfo already

One thing I'll say for it is that it isn't boring.

that's from revelations right

Former Gov. Michael O. Leavitt of Utah, a top adviser to Mr. Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, said the party was unable to come up with a united front to quash Mr. Trump’s campaign.

“There is no mechanism,” Mr. Leavitt said. “There is no smoke-filled room. If there is, I’ve never seen it, nor do I know anyone who has. This is going to play out in the way that it will.”

LOL, I give Mitch about two weeks max before he and his senate pals line up to kiss Trump's ass

I can't see it

Several senior Republicans, including Mr. Romney, have made direct appeals to Mr. Kasich to gauge his willingness to stand down and allow the party to unify behind another candidate. But Mr. Kasich has told at least one person that his plan is to win the Ohio primary on March 15 and gather the party behind his campaign if Mr. Rubio loses in Florida, his home state, on the same day.

In Washington, Mr. Kasich’s persistence in the race has become a source of frustration. At Senate luncheons on Wednesday and Thursday, Republican lawmakers vented about Mr. Kasich’s intransigence, calling it selfishness.

One senior Republican senator, noting that Mr. Kasich has truly contested only one of the first four states, complained: “He’s just flailing his arms around and having a wonderful time going around the country, and it just drives me up the wall.”

^^^ this is batshit. Because he accepted the Medicaid dough and doesn't say mean things about gays, Kasich isn't even a possibility? They really are this stupid.

oh boy:

Mr. McConnell has raised the possibility of treating Mr. Trump’s loss as a given and describing a Republican Senate to voters as a necessary check on a President Hillary Clinton, according to senators at the lunches.

I can't see it
