2016 American Presidential Campaign

[GenericMind]

Only Bernie Sanders could get me to overlook such a huge character flaw. #Merica

On an unrelated note, here's Bernie Sanders in 2011 warning about Panama and the corruption the Panama Papers just reaveled:



And here's Hillary Clinton pushing for the now-exposed Panama fraud in 2011:

I find it amusing that the frontrunners are so unelectable for the gop that Cruz's whole reason for even having a shot is he is not trump. Trump is only popular because people don't like the established GOP.

Odd.

Sanders has been named winner in Wisconsin, now we wait to see what the percentages and delegate counts tell us. (86 delegates at stake)

The one to watch after New York will be Pennsylvania, which has 189 delegates at stake. Various unions, including the steel workers union has pledged to support sanders, who is less than 200 delegates behind (before tonight's election). It's starting to get interesting.

it's been interesting for a while now

Just wait til he wins Wyoming in a few days and then NY.

 

[Phil.McKeer]

So Bernie wins Wisconsin, eh? The steamroller is steamrolling, for sure. All Bernie supporters and, dare I say, true patriots everywhere are getting stoked. When he clinches the Democratic nomination then proceeds to win by landslide against whichever Retard Party candidate ends up running, everyone please just don't neglect to remember that it was ME who predicted a Bernie win maaaaaaaaany pages ago.

Look where our (UK) great Liberal newspaper's (The Guardian) loyalties lie. Today's headline.

Cruz crushes Trump as Sanders beats Clinton in Wisconsin primaries

Cruz/Trump = 48/35

Sanders/Clinton = 56/43

13 percentage points being a 'crushing' in one and a mere 'beating' in the other.

The Grauniad has been disgracefully pro-Clinton from the start. Wankers.

 

[mal3volent]

Oh man...the msm coverage last night made me nauseous. Had to turn the tv off and follow it online. Bernie seemed pretty pumped in his speech in wyoming. Cant wait til the debate next thursday.

 

[Bardeaux]

Cant wait til the debate next thursday.

This is the part where Sanders presses hard on the fact that he voted against the Panamanian Trade Agreement, the TPP, NAFTA etc.


Though it is exciting to watch things turn around, so many superdelegates have already pledged themselves to Clinton no matter what. I'm still rooting for Sanders to win the popular vote, but have little hope in him clenching the actual nomination. The most important thing to come out of this, I think, will be a turn in the tide of the American left. In that we might actually have a left in the near future.

 

[sigmond]

changing this; its going to be closer to 55% - ill go 57%

clairvoyant!

 

[Bardeaux]

Will I ever find true love, Sigmond??

 

[sigmond]

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:

O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.

Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

I'm no longer worried about the Superdelegates at all. I did a little more digging and found out that they haven't "voted" since 1984. Meaning that other than that year the presidential candidate always got enough of the popular vote to win the nomination without the Superdelegates influencing anything. I expect Bernie to do the same this year.

The panama papers couldn't have come at a better time, well, maybe earlier wouldve' been nice but...this is really exciting to me. If he wins the nomination, I will feel excited to participate. Gives me some hope.

[effingcustie]

I really can't imagine how ugly things are gonna get if Sanders is leading in pledged delegates but superdelegates give Clinton the nomination

 

[spacejunk]

Its getting ugly already...but i agree.

 

[jammin83]

Once some of this stuff starts c0ming out about her, those delgates wpuld be crazy to give her the nomination bc she's gonna lose the white house.

You know shes melting right now and losing her mind. She is not looking forward to this debate.

I'll have to find it later but i posted a few months ago saying the wheels were gonna fall off her campaign. Delighted to see it happening.

Bernie should get down and dirty and call her on all her bullshit. Time to win, Fuck being nice.

 

[spacejunk]

Also, people need to take this passion to the ballot box.
That's where it counts.
The mainstream press in not ominpient.

 

[manboychef]

GOP might end up pulling the white knight maneuver if it gets to the third round of casting ballots at the RNC.
