Ted Cruz will be back tomorrow in another form, with a full health bar. I have played enough Castlevania games over the years to not be fooled by the Prince of Darkness.

this is priceless. drumpf supporters are unreal. like SNL caricatures of the worst of America or the world. Cruz/Lucifer/Zodiac killer is inhuman in his ability to handle Drumpf supporters.

Oh man the general is gonna bring forth probably the most vicious/ugliest campaign we'll ever see :x :x.
Still holding out hope for Hillary to pick someone like Warren or Perez as a running mate.

Warren wouldn't be a good look, she's not sitting to well in the eye of the public lately. Then there's that whole Suzy Orman thing

Barring some wild foreseen event.
Its likely going to be a blowout in the general, for Hillary.
Hilary got sooooo lucky.

Rahm needs to go away. No way he's the VP. Clinton's aren't dumb.

the numbers and demographics make it very very very likley that it will be that easy.
republicans have a key disadvantage against trump, democrats don't.
the real question if Trump will damage GOP in down ballot elections.

if you looks at the polls.
the majority of Republicans believe white people are the biggest victims of racism. So the other GOP candidates can't really attack him on the racism sexism front because that wont connect with republican voters.
A democrat can.
It's near impossible to win a general election in modern america, if you are hated by women, black people and latino's. The numbers are just too tough to see a plausible path to Trumps nomination.

Not a chance Rahm is her running mate.
Also, whose backup account is this?

it surely can and it surely is a deal breaker for many people, one only needs to look at history. and you opinions on who is the "culprit" are irrelevant, what matters is what voters think..
You can see it in the way black people abandoned the republican party back in the day, or the way latino's abandoned the GOP in California turning it into a solid blue state.
there are many black people who are evangelicals, plenty who are conservative.
but they will not vote for the Republican
because they feel like the party is actively hostile towards them.
People don't vote in a cold calculating way, the majority vote based on gut feeling. the cold truth is that, black and brown people make up a size-able portion of the electorate and they hate Donald Trump, and that more power than any other policy position Rrump might take.

you don't need to run a whole campaign based on it. though.
You simply need to ensure black and brown people show up to vote, and if enough of them do, and if they vote democrat at the same levels they did last election: 70% D latino, 93% D blacks.
Trump would have to win danm near like 67% of non college educated whites, and that assuming MORE latinos DON'T turn out to vote and some republicans don't stay home.
its only a 2 person race so he has a chance theoretically. but its an extreme long shot.

could be, they've created drumpf with this rhetoric for the past 8 years. So this would be the only progression.

Drumpf definitely set a precedent in the political system and it's appreciated. It showed that you don't have to be a career politician to win the votes, now it won't translate over into the general election but it most certainly has been noted and I'm convinced that we'll start to see more Independents take stronger positions in future elections. It may start on the local and state level but it's going to happen.

You're probably right, the southern strategy brought all the fundies to the party. Now drumpf brings the uneducated, low info bitter voters to their side. Throw around some empty slogans, and fantasy scenarios that riles up the base. Now we have the New drumpf tea party.

That's what I'm saying, the attention this dude has gotten, has clearly shown if you pander to racists just enough who knows what might happen.
It's gonna be all fun and games until one of these rednecks kills someone at one of the rallies.

Yup, she got so lucky that the republicans inexplicably picked a candidate that is hated by key demographic voting blocks.
she might have lost to Rubio.
but some how the republicans gifted her a candidate who is disliked by women, blacks and latino's. wild.
its just insane good fortune, but I guess it's god doing her a solid, after she ran into the obama buzz saw in 08.

also bernie and hilary supporters like to overstate how contested this primary has been.
the two candidates aren't that different.
its not dissimilar to obama v hillary. 08
hillary supporters claiming they wouldn't get behind barack. they did and so will bernies supporters.
