I'm getting into all of this recent political stuff. From afar, of course, because I'll never wrap myself around this crap to tightly. It's entertaining. I like how Trump comes on saying, "Winning, winning, winning.....And soon the country will be winning, winning, winning." Good stuff from the Trumpster.

Ok, for the board experts + Ball, how will Super Tuesday unfold next week? Give me the juice? Give me the predictions? What's going to happen?

Let's fukking discuss this. Go....

Trump wins all with the possible exception of Texas. In Texas both Cruz & Trump's poll numbers are down even though Rubio doesn't seem to be gaining much ground.
 
Trump will win the loving embrace of the uneducated, which tells you all you need to know about the SEC day and the GOP election in general.

This can't be true. Last night Trump told America he was winning with everyone group.

to whom does hillary appeal? the naive? the in-denial?

it's funny to me when one side paints the other as a circus in this election cycle... they're both an embarassment, and this team mentality that has solidified itself in this country is bad for humanity

Haha, there are so many biased political people on this site but you are by far the most biased.
 
"Government," Cruz now ventures, "should not be about redistributing wealth and benefiting the corporations and the special interests."

This absurd Swiss Army cliché perfectly encapsulates the predicament of the modern GOP. In one second, Cruz is against "redistributionism," which in the Obama years was code for "government spending on minorities." In the next second, he's against corporations and special interests, the villains du jour in the age of Bernie Sanders and Trump, respectively.

He's against everything all at once. Welfare! Corporations! Special Interests! Government! The Establishment! He's that escort who'll be into whatever you want, for an hour.

Trump meanwhile wipes out Cruz in his speeches in a single, drop-the-mic line.

"They give Ted $5 million," he says, bringing to mind loans Cruz took from a pair of banks, Goldman Sachs and Citibank.

The total was closer to $1.2 million, but Trump's point, that even the supposed "outsider" GOP candidate is just another mindless payola machine, is impossible to counter.

It's Rolling Stone so I accept the strong bias but this article is fantastically entertaining. A few laugh out loud moments.

"I know guys, union guys, who talk about Trump," says Rand Wilson, an activist from the Labor for Bernie organization. "I try to tell them about Sanders, and they don't know who he is. Or they've just heard he's a socialist. Trump they've heard of."

This is part of a gigantic subplot to the Trump story, which is that many of his critiques of the process are the same ones being made by Bernie Sanders. The two men, of course, are polar opposites in just about every way – Sanders worries about the poor, while Trump would eat a child in a lifeboat – but both are laser-focused on the corrupting role of money in politics.

Both propose "revolutions" to solve the problem, the difference being that Trump's is an authoritarian revolt, while Sanders proposes a democratic one. If it comes down to a Sanders-Trump general election, the matter will probably be decided by which candidate the national press turns on first: the flatulent narcissist with cattle-car fantasies or the Democrat who gently admires Scandinavia. Would you bet your children on that process playing out sensibly?

In the meantime, Trump is cannily stalking the Sanders vote. While the rest of the GOP clowns just roll their eyes at Sanders, going for cheap groans with bits about socialism, Trump goes a different route. He hammers Hillary and compliments Sanders. "I agree with [Sanders] on two things," he says. "On trade, he said we're being ripped off. He just doesn't know how much."

He goes on. "And he's right with Hillary because, look, she's receiving a fortune from a lot of people."

At a Democratic town hall in Derry, New Hampshire, Hillary's strangely pathetic answer about why she accepted $675,000 from Goldman to give speeches – "That's what they offered" – seemed doomed to become a touchstone for the general-election contest. Trump would go out on Day One of that race and blow $675,000 on a pair of sable underwear, or a solid-gold happy-face necktie. And he'd wear it 24 hours a day, just to remind voters that his opponent sold out for the Trump equivalent of lunch money.

Trump will surely argue that the Clintons are the other half of the dissolute-conspiracy story he's been selling, representing a workers' party that abandoned workers and turned the presidency into a vast cash-for-access enterprise, avoiding scrutiny by making Washington into Hollywood East and turning labor leaders and journalists alike into starstruck courtiers. As with everything else, Trump personalizes this, making his stories of buying Hillary's presence at his wedding a part of his stump speech. A race against Hillary Clinton in the general, if it happens, will be a pitch right in Trump's wheelhouse – and if Bill Clinton is complaining about the "vicious" attacks by the campaign of pathological nice guy Bernie Sanders, it's hard to imagine what will happen once they get hit by the Trumpdozer.

No clue but reading that makes me want to make America great again. I'm down for some winning.
 
Just walked into my office and got this story. A guy who rent's space from us was the first lobbyist to give to Trump. He's got a client in NY and has some relationship with Trump. So they all donate and the guy calls Trump puts him on speaker and tells him about the donations. I guess he also rents some space from Trump and asked for a reduction in his rent. Trump tells him to go F himself and they all have a laugh. A few months go bye and the guy in my office thinks nothing of it. Today s story of the first lobbyist donating to Trump runs in one of rags here in DC. The guy in my office, who is a democrat, immediately gets a call from the Clinton campaign as they saw the story as well. Now the guy has to max out to Hillary. This one phone call cost the guy $3300.

Just so we are clear here, Trump is going to end up getting the nomination based on his ability to point out the flaws in other candidates and insulting large swaths of the population without really bringing much, if any, compelling policies to the table. Basically, he is b.sing he way into being the leader of the free world.

It is a strange time to be alive.

Is that really any different than what an Obama or say Hillary is doing now? Think about it. They are campaigning right now on a bunch of stuff that has zero chance of ever becoming law and everyone knows it. Think about it and actually look at the issues being mentioned in these debates. No chance a split Congress ever agrees to any of this stuff. Take Rubio's tax plan. Zero Chance. Hillary's healthcare and education stuff, zero chance. It's all campaign bull crap and Trump is rightfully calling it out. Note, this is not an endorsement of Trump but if everyone hates politicians and DC he's your guy. Obama BS'd his way to being elected twice.
 
I have no problem with Trump winning as to adp's point that nothing is going to change. Maybe he pisses off a country enough that they try and bomb us, but that's about it.

The downside to a Trump is foreign policy. We've seen what happens when you have someone in the Oval Office with no clue on foreign policy. That's scary, especially given what's happening with Russia and that part of the world as well as ISIS etc...we're already in a hole and having another 4 years of inept foreign policy in the white house does actually matter. However, people don't really pay attention or understand this stuff. Heck, most probably have no clue what's happening with Russia.
 
BS'ing your way into the office via false promises on policy is nothing new, but at least it shows that you give an ish about the actual job you are trying to earn.
 
"We've seen what happens when you have someone in the Oval Office with no clue on foreign policy."

This is in reference to GWB, correct?
 
Does it? Or is this approach more honest? Which people seem to value. Either way, we've earned the Donald Trumps because as the electorate, we're dumb.

Oh well, maybe, it will be a wake call for the "real" politicians.

The citizens of this country electing Trump might just be a way to get back at the establishment.

No different than that jury getting back at a corrupt, unfair L.A. PD in the OJ case. You push people and take advantage of them long enough, then eventually it comes back to bite you in the ass.
 
Trump leading foreign policy is scary enough .. but the man being in charge of or our security apparatus is downright frightening. Look at how he acts now when criticized or questioned.

And sure candidates from both parties push a lot of nonsense during primaries but Trump's platform is even thinner. He doesn't even pretend... he gives you nothing. I guess he goes slightly deeper on trade protectionism and immigrantion.

The idea that this is somehow refreshing is lost on me. It's refreshing that he doesn't give a shit? That he doesn't even bother and scores points for it. Really going to stick it to the man electing a narcissist that fancies himself a strongman like Putin.

It doesn't help that all of the candidates from both parties are pretty shitty.

It should be quite obvious that Trump's rhetoric is aimed at the Republican establishment as a tool to get the nomination. I expect Trump to change his talking points as soon as he sews up the nomination.

A wake up call to do what? Make fun of another candidate for going to the bathroom? Get into pissing matches with the pope?

That's what I don't get. Everyone seems to be saying "Yeah, way to go Donald! You tell those establishment people that they all suck!" while basically ignoring the fact that he stands for nothing.

Sure, there is no feasible way that any of these so called "flat taxes" will be ratified. And there is a 0.0% chance of free tuition for everyone. But at least these are policies. not allowing muslims in the county really isnt even a policy, its just a statement.

I guess I'm just part astounded and part flummoxed. I really shouldn't be, but I am.

No WE have not earned DT......the REPUBLICAN Party has earned DT by not having the balls to stand up to the tea party group and getting in bed with them in order to win elections....the party establishment always thought they could control them...remember John Boehner and his attempts to quell them. Like it or not the jackasses are out of the box and you are stuck with them...it has nothing to do with I's or D's who I suspect DT will get zero support from rendering the November general election meaning less.

Why? I've heard this but not sure i believe it. This isn't like Romney throwing out some red meat. You knew who he was. This isn't Hilary trying to out poor Bernie. You know what she is.

Trump is an authoritarian loving, personal attention/affirmation seeking man that has been shown to be petty and vindictive throughout his life. So what changes when he wins the nomination?

Right. you guys are stuck with HRC and half the Democrats don't even like her. We suffer from a lack of good candidates period. The difference is most Republicans aren't in denial about this fact.

A wake up call to put themselves in positions to not have the every day person feel this way about our government/politicians. I'm not lauding Trump for anything. I find it amusing that our country has come to this. I mean really, Donald Trump could really be the next president? The "real" politicians need to be better, do better, and be more open-minded. Obviously, someone like Trump is in this position today because a lot of people are tired of the same old nonsense. People are tired off the pissing contests that come from both sides. Just do things to make the country better, find a middle ground, and agree from time to time.
