Shit wouldn't have happened at Michigan.   And Harbaugh would've run a fake punt up 30 points anyway.

Hey now, that would give valuable fake punt experience to the 3rd string punt team.  It's only fair.

Yes, we totally didn't cover that in spring football.  YOU NEED REAL GAME TIME SITUATIONS

Oh, you mean the staged photo with the ex-Hillary staffer and current Hillary neighbor?  Yeah, I'm sure that was a totally random encounter.

I rest my case.  *waves hand, walks back to courtroom table*

Each of us has his role here.  Happy to oblige :)

I.  You mean to tell me that you're just walking, the day after the election, and suddenly the Clintons are there? Popping up out of nowhere for a picture? 

He's obviously never been to Chappaqua.  Social life there pretty much revolves around people walking their dogs bumping into moms walking with their babies

And nary a Trump supporter to be found, despite the large lots and high property taxes.

Yeah, the simple premise of "rich people running into other rich people from time to time" thing gets drowned out by all the static.

The old mentality that political contributions win elections and no one gets donar money like a Clinton. So the DNC bet on a piggy bank and lost.

How the hell could you not nominate this guy? Jesus.

Because his political objectives were horrible and disconnected from reality? I mean I know you consider everything a popularity contest but some of us have to think about that shit when voting.

Or that everything is a conspiracy. Heaven forbid that left wing socialism is a bad idea. Couldn't be that.

Congrats. Thank to your "thinking", you now have President Trump.

Conspiracies are fun. Let people have a little joy out of this election :P also, Schultz isn't around anymore for a reason ;)

I still find the idea that Bernie was some kind of dangerous extremist pretty laughable, but hey, America.

At the end of the day, he lost the primary, and by a quite comfortable margin so I don't think hypotetical foul play made a difference.

I remember the media early on making little difference between reporting "normal" delegates and super delegates - I suppose this could have swayed some less informed voters into thinking he's got no chance. In any event, this is more about the Democratic establishment making a spectacularly bad bet on Clinton, not necessarily the primaries being rigged, though.
