President Trump

We've had some doozy VP nominees in the past 30 years or so…
Stockdale. Quayle. Cheney. Palin.
What are these people thinking?

I loved Palin with Trump the other week.
"We're going to drill baby drill."

Like crude oil crashed.....
You can't get money to do no drilling.

Hey she's gonna be our next Energy Secretary.
I saw Trump being interviewed by Hannity the other night and Donald, with a completely straight face, told Sean that he was considering him for VP.

He so ideologically impure. And he plagiarizes other campaigns ideas.

The preliminaries are all but a formality now. Trump is winning across all geographies and demographics. He's even spanking Rubio in Florida's polls (http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/ele ... republican).

Bernie gave Hillary a good scare, but I think the game is up-- polling shows Hillary with a near clean-sweep on Super Tuesday (Vermont, and perhaps Colorado, excepted).

Trump v Hillary. [Cue the ominous music]

Good question. Will Hillary have been indicted by then?

I participated in the NV Dem caucus. It was an interesting and very civil event. Next time I would prefer a voting booth as a more efficent process. Bernie won 35-29 in my precinct.

I'm thinking about caucusing in Colorado, it would be my first.

The tie breaker in NV is not a coin flip, in the gaming state they draw cards!

Thursday, February 25

Florida Republican Presidential Primary -- Quinnipiac
Trump 44, Rubio 28, Cruz 12, Bush, Carson 4, Kasich 7 = Trump +16

Texas Republican Presidential Primary -- TEGNA/SurveyUSA
Cruz 32, Trump 32, Rubio 17, Kasich 6, Carson 5 = Tie

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Thu Feb 25, 2016 11:38 pm

I think the best thing that could have to Trump on Tuesday is to win every state but lose Texas by one vote to Cruz.

Wow, these guys are going at it tonight!

Holy shit if you aren't watching the debate turn it on!
Donald is kicking some major ass!

I love it!

Did anybody catch that Trump rally in Alabama. This is wild! What is happening here!

That video is 2 hours long. So far in this campaign I have watched a sum total of 25 minutes of media coverage, that being parts of Sanders' and Trump's NH victory speeches. Sanders will be knocked out Tuesday and won't be coming back absent the long-wished for in some parts "indictment" of Clinton. Trump will be the GOP nominee unless he knocks himself out, (or pulls a "no mas" how ironic would that be? "No mas," that sounds a lot like Spanish) which he is perfectly capable of doing. Other than that I've been getting all my campaign coverage right here, reading every 25th post or so.

Clinton wins comfortably, possibly an electoral landslide.

Blanquito · Post by **Blanquito** » Mon Feb 29, 2016 2:10 pm

Monday, February 29
-2016 Democratic Nomination - CNN/ORC - Clinton 55, Sanders 38 = Clinton +17
-2016 Republican Nomination - CNN/ORC - Trump 49, Cruz 15, Rubio 16, Carson 10, Kasich 6 = Trump +33

Game over...

Omg we are going to be one federal grand jury indictment away from a Trump presidency.
Heaven help us.

how low can Trump go?? Well, he refuses to repudiate the KKK.

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Mon Feb 29, 2016 4:57 pm

This whole KKK thing. I mean, sometimes I think Trump really doesn't even take himself seriously, doesn't seriously think he's gonna be president, or even wants to be president. Or is it that he just truly is this insane? Just when I thought he was gonna put the hammer down on that little dink Rubio, he gives them this latest chunk of red meat. It'll be fascinating to watch the results tomorrow night.

AlohaArtakaHoundsong · Mon Feb 29, 2016 5:24 pm

The question for me Jim, is, when Hillary is prez will she remember you? Is this why you favor DC for BWE events?

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Mon Feb 29, 2016 10:50 pm

Rubio is going around telling crowds that Trump has small hands... if you know what I mean.
I gotta admit, that's a good one.

As for Hillary, Hound, well, she and I will always have that magical 45 minutes together in 1991 -- alone -- talking "education reform" in the principal's office at Farwell School in Lewiston. She touching my knee earnestly every time she made a point, myself, the young mayor, admiring her headband.

And then we advanced into the gymnasium....

Jay Winton · Post by **Jay Winton** » Wed Mar 02, 2016 3:39 pm

Looking pretty clear who will be the nominees after last night. Boy, Christie didn't look too happy up there on stage behind the Donald-maybe he's afraid David Duke will be on stage soon. Several newspapers in New Jersey are calling for his resignation.

I'm just proud to live in a State where Donald Trump came in a distant THIRD (and Bernie won!).

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Wed Mar 02, 2016 4:23 pm

It's not over yet. We're gonna have to listen to that little dinkweed Rubio for at least another couple of weeks.

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Thu Mar 03, 2016 2:41 am

Hmm. Clinton staffer granted DOJ immunity. Hmm.

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Thu Mar 03, 2016 4:54 pm

What a PATHETIC speech by Mitt Romney.
No recognition, no acceptance, that it his Republican Party, controlled by Tea Party extremists, that created their monster.
No mention, of course, that he, Romney, publicly accepted Trump's endorsement when he ran.
Pathetic. I think this actually helps rather than hurts The Donald.

I concur, counselor. Nothing seems to put a dent in the Trump steamroller. And if he wins winner-take-all Florida and Ohio primaries on March 15th, how do they possibly stop him then? He's got a strong lead in Florida (66% chance of victory at 538) and he's effectively tied with Kasich in Ohio (41% vs 38% chance), and none of these states has had any polling since Super Tuesday which presumably has made Trump stronger given his showing.

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Thu Mar 03, 2016 6:00 pm

Trump has the GOP's balls in the palms of his little hands.
If they mess with him he'll just run as a third party candidate, handing the race to Hillary, along with the supreme court and the senate.
Oh I would love to see that little maggot Marco squished in two weeks.
Oh, sure, little Marco will score his smarmy little debate points tonight, but hopefully it won't be enough
And if Little Marco ends up scoring some victories in Florida and elsewhere, this conduct by the likes of Romney and his establishment ilk will just give Trump the cover he needs to go third party.
Oh this is just too much fun to watch….

And if Bernie runs as a third party candidate, the title of this thread just might come true...

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Fri Mar 04, 2016 12:50 am

If Bernie runs, Paul Ryan will be your next president, elected by the gerrymandered House.

Is he talking about that?!? Even if it means handing the White House to Trump?!

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Fri Mar 04, 2016 1:03 am

Bernie's not so stupid that he would become 2016's Nader.

DavidG · Post by **DavidG** » Fri Mar 04, 2016 1:10 am

I've heard completely unsubstantiated rumblings from the blogosphere.

Whether Bernie's (or anyone's) brain can trump their ego after months of primary campaigning is an open question. I hope so.

Paul Ryan, wow. Eddie Munster in the White House? I guess it would be better than Trump.

JimHow · Post by **JimHow** » Fri Mar 04, 2016 1:14 am

Totally disagree.
I would much rather have Trump and a total tear down of the system than more if the same from the likes of Ryan, McConnell, etc.
I'll hold my nose and vote for Hillary but that's as far as I'll go.
Bernie is too honorable to pull another Nader.
