2016 elections - because it's never too early

[Legbiter]

She doesn't need to make him do something that isn't himself, she needs to encourage him to continue being himself. Because that person is a fucking nightmare of a human being.

Mostly she needs to start appealing to some kind of emotional identity associated with voting for her. Be more like Trump. The sooner reason, facts, and other losing strategies are abandoned, the better. In fact her campaign just might stumble accidently on just such a vote-winner simply by virtue of elimination, perhaps even before Donnie's sworn in.

California is feeling the Bern.

A USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll released Thursday evening shows Sanders leading with 44 percent to Clinton's 43 percent.
Sanders's 1-point lead falls within the poll's margin of error.

The Dem convention will be interesting.

I'll dig up some of my brother's Trump emails

My mother went after my uncle who keeps posting about his support for Trump on FB where he also promotes his auto shop which is struggling. She pointed out that beyond how hurtful she thought it was given the people in our family (and how he married into a Mexican family) that spreading his political beliefs was unlikely to grow his customer base.

There was a small BBQ place in town that had a Romney/Whoever sign out in front of their place 4 years ago.  I'm sure it makes me a bad person, but I was amused to see them go out of business early the next year.

I doubt that the sign had much to do with it, as I never saw any cars in the parking lot before or after the election.  But I still smile every time I drive by the used car lot that sits on that lot now.

Former Bay State Republican governor Bill Weld is Gary Johnson's running mate on the Libertarian ticket.

I know. Trump's campaign is going to implode any moment now - as soon as people actually see his true self.

[Martinus]

I'd probably rationalize it that way as well if I were a Hillary supporter.

As one of the local trolls I can see why you want it to be all about the LOLZ and want us all to stand around thinking about idiocy like internet shit flinging competitions.  I just want a sane president.

Now you can go all 'LOLZ I LOLZED VALMY' or whatever tickles your fancy.

I never thought you were one of the local trolls, Valmy.

You sure showed the regressive left there Marty.

[Admiral Yi]

Marty reminds me of former Nazis who migrated to the Stasi after the war.

Your post said you were one of the local trolls.

Hasn't he said he will support Trump over Cruz back in March?

Trump should fear the end of the Democratic primary.

Once the Democrats unite against him, his hopes for the presidency are toast.

It bothers me to no end that in the last 16 years the left/Democrats have been assigned blue in the US, while the right/Republicans have been assigned red.  THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS AMERICANS!

[Berkut]

Yeah, that is not what is bothering me about this election cycle.
