2016 elections - because it's never too early

IIRC Trump is outperforming the last two GOP candidates with Hispandexes.

That's derspiess making a word-play based joke.

I think...

IIRC Trump is outperforming the last two GOP candidates with Hispandexes.

Romney got 27%; all the polling I've seen has Trump below 20%
And Romney's performance was considered a disaster, contributing to his defeat.
I think the margin may be a little lower because to the third party candidates.
But the margin is still big and so heavy turnout in the demographic is an unmitigated plus for HRC.  Question is whether it will be enough to offset lower AA voting.

Remember we can say anything about the election and it is essentially true.  I hear Zombie Tupac is taking the black vote by storm.

I assume the usual suspects will affect their usual poses, but I enjoyed it so I'm sharing

That was good if somewhat annoying.

I read the Newsweek article and unfortunately I didn't see anything new.

I will repeat. This is the best election of our lifetime.

Yes.

Yeah latest poll I could fine had him at 19%

It is truly amazing how they can all collectively stay in character for so long, without direction or pause.  Truly the greatest improv troupe of all time.

Trying to remember where I read it.  May have been among GOP Hispandexes during the primary.

Heard on NPR that "sources say" the leaks are coming from retired FBI agents.

I'm also: Tender (vs Tough on crime), Pro-Big Government (), Progressive, a pacifist, a collectivist, a Keynesian, and a multiculturalist.

That's what you've become, I guess.  One hell of a Hillary hypnotranse

90 Hil, 76 Stein, 47 Johnson, 31 Trump

Actually I kind of like the results bit at the end. Apparently I'm moderately left wing.

I'm also: Tender (vs Tough on crime), Pro-Big Government (), Progressive, a pacifist, a collectivist, a Keynesian, and a multiculturalist.

And my views most match those of people in Los Angeles, SF, Chicago, Philly, New York and Boston!

I got 71% Johnson, 50% Trump, 13% Clinton, and 6% Stein.  But as BB says, that kind of misses the point, because my main problem with Trump isn't his policies, but his fitness for the office.

And as for the stuff at the end, I think it's actually a bit more accurate than the part with the candidates.  It classified me as moderately right-wing libertarian, which seems about right.

It also has me moderately capitalist (58%), which frankly I don't see how it put me that low.  OTOH, it has me as strongly laissez-faire (82%) and strongly small government (84%), which sounds more accurate.  Those were my "most important" themes.

On my "more important" themes, it labels me as centrist on privacy vs security (6% towards security) and strongly elitist (78%) which is probably reasonably accurate, but seems funny in that I'm probably less elitist than most of the posters on this forum.  It sees me as leaning moderately toward individualism (56%).  I'm moderately tough on crime (38%) and moderately militaristic (50%).  I think it didn't rate me as tougher on crime because I support decriminalization of drugs.

Continuing with "somewhat important themes" it says I side moderately towards globalization (50%), decentralization (52%), assimilation (66%) and deregulation (58%);  but only slightly towards traditionalism (16%) and imperialism (22%);  and strongly towards unilateralism (88%).

Some quibbles, but I think it sums me up pretty well.

Just one tiny nitpick.  Why is Donald Trump known as the guy in orange?  Is this referring to his hair colour?  He seems like a blonde to me.
