2016 American Presidential Campaign

Imagine the instant chaos if Trump said that...

I thought Bill Clinton was America's first black president? Guess it really is true that you get more right-wing as you get older...But good on him for campaigning against his wife.

Never really understood blacks' fascination with him. His crime bill put more black men in prison than any president in history and his massive welfare cuts hit millions of low-income African Americans when he was President.
 
so it looks like sanders will need to win by 57% or more moving forward and score a big win in one or two of the states i mentioned prior;ny,pa,ca

wouldn't cruz want kasich to stay in the race? I could be wrong but i don't see many people in the northeast voting for cruz. if the choice is between trump and cruz i see people either voting for trump or not voting at all. however, if kasich is in the race he'll probably take a lot of votes that trump would've received. cruz can't win before the convention so the best way to make sure trump doesn't get enough delegates is to keep kasich around.
 
Wow the Pope Just invited Bernie to the Vatican to speak at one of the World's biggest biggest forums on economics and morality. I don't think any elected president, let alone a candidate, has ever had that little honor.

A Jew at the Vatican speaking about helping the poor? Second coming of Christ?? Y/N

Hilary Clinton Culturally Appropriates African American dialect when speaking to black voters at her events. She is guilty of the same when she changes her Twatter logo to a Kwanzaa icon. Then she steals Spanish words and Hispanic cultural references when tells Hispanic voters that she is their abuela or Hispanic grandmother. They love her for it and overwhelming vote for her, though I have a feeling the result might be a little different if close to half of African American men weren't banned from voting due to criminal records. Years ago, her husband played the same trick. He went on the Arsonio Hall Television show playing a sax and wearing sunglasses like he was a black blues musician during their 1990s presidential campaign. For his efforts, he was thought of as black.

She wants something from minority voters and to get it, she uses elements of their cultures, and then has a history of acting against them once in office. Are these not examples of Cultural Appropriation - the real kind? Rich white people who are part of the establishment steal elements of a minority culture to trick them into voting for them. Once in office, they turn around and oppress them because it benefits whitie. She put them in jail in record numbers, destroyed the social safety net, and disenfranchised them to a degree not seen since the days of slavery. Where are the SJWs now?

Kasich is most certainly the only Republican nominee that can contend with either clinton or sanders. When I look into Ted Cruz's eyes I just see nothingness staring back at me.
 
Man Hillary's campaign and followers should just stay away from Twitter. Literally everything they try to do completely backfires. Her last 3 sponsored hashtag trends were hijacked by Bernie supporters, her Sandy Hook tweet blew up in her face, and today her campaign tried to claim Bernie Sanders invited himself to speak at the Vatican and he "pressured" the Pope. They were posting it all over and a video of her mocking Sanders for 'crashing an event at the Vatican" was being circulated.

And then the Vatican Chancellor himself said that it was his idea to invite Bernie and posted the invite letter as well as his explanation of why Bernie was invited.

They basically made the story about the Vatican invite 5x bigger than it would have been AND made themselves look like idiots in the process. It's almost like they don't want to win.
 
What do you guys think about this Romanian computer hacker being extradited to the States? Is the plan to have him testify in the Clinton email probe? I guess it's public knowledge that the hacker hacked one of Clinton's aides. The theory is that he could have also hacked her and saved damning stuff that she destroyed. And that he's ready to make a deal. Proof of classified information on a private server if this guy hacked/saved it, proof that Clinton is a felon...

In my opinion, the Clinton email thing has always been the most important issue. Her being in the pocket of the big banks would make people even poorer, but enemies reading her classified emails could get people killed.
 
Wow, she's starting to look desperate.
In the face of Bernie's massive (and authentic) grassroots support base, i suppose a bit of "astroturfing" is understandable as a tactic for the Clinton campaign - but it isn't a very good look, especially in contrast to Sanders' people genuinely love the guy following.

I'm enjoying your passionate and informed optimism in all this, GM.
I do hope you are right, and that Bernie's momentum continues and carries him to the nomination.

I suspect he'd absolutely destroy any of the loonies the GOP is likely to be endorsing for President. Whenever i get too concerned about Clinton securing the Democratic nomination, i just think about the alternative on the Republican side; not a pretty picture in any of the potential scenarios there.

But still - Bernie has had an incredible campaign. Almost unfathomable to consider something like this happening pre-Obama.
If someone had suggested to me that this could be happening around the time Dubya got re-elected, i'd have thought it was absolutely impossible.

Is this what democracy looks like? 8o

i see the illegitimate child of pee-wee herman and pinocchio. i think he is benefiting from not getting much attention cause if he were people would realize just how weird he is. isn't he a creationist?
 
This place (as expected) is a huge Bernie circle jerk. I would like to see him win the nod because Hilary is satan and I want to see her squirm, but I do not support him personally. Bernie supported bombing Serbia. From wiki, "The bombing killed between 489 and 528 civilians, and destroyed bridges, industrial plants, public buildings, private businesses, as well as, barracks and military installations." Good job Bernie.

This is a pretty serious blunder regarding Israel, although he seems to have learned from this mistake.
"It's not the only issue right now in that region, as some of you may have noticed, there is a group called ISIS" Fucking LOL.

Also, Hilary hasn't even started cheating, yet.

Go ahead with your shitty reply, GM. %)
 
The media could not make it more apparent they want Cruz or kasich on the ticket bc they know only trump could win. I'll say it again I cannot believe how many Canadians I spoke with that said they liked trump with a hushed voice unprompted. In fact I never said anything one way or another bc when I'm representing my company politics are not something you want to bring up.

Well shitty posts often get shitty replies, so...

The dude votes against almost every military action that comes up throughout his entire career and you want to bitch about one of the only ones he voted FOR? Talk about nitpicking, Jesus. Nevermind the fact that the air strikes actually worked and the government there disarmed shortly afterward, stopping full out escalating genocide.

If in 34 years of public service THAT is the issue you have with Bernie then I'd say you're really reaching.

I'd personally like to thank Bill Clinton for ruining his wife's chances at the Whitehouse. It couldn't have played out better. At the same time Billery was yelling at BLM protestors, Bernie was in another part of PA telling people he would apologize as President for slavery when asked by someone in the audience.

lol

why would/should Bernie Sanders apologize for slavery? Because he is white? Is this what people want... a man apologizing for something he had absolutely nothing to do with? I don't understand
 
It just seems like such a ridiculous thing to do.. I don't know why sanders would feel obligated to give an apology for anything that happened before he was even born. The sad thing is the, only way he could answer this question was by saying 'yes'. He would literally lose thousands of votes for acknowledging how ridiculous of a question that was

I just watched the clip and it sounded like a young lady in her 20s asking the question... I'm sorry but I find it almost hilarious that people alive right now, especially that young, want an apology from white people for slavery. I thought we were way beyond that

We should require all Japanese Americans to give an apology for the attack on Pearl Harbor
