[Des0lar]

great thread

off to a good start

 

[B-Dubs]

Beautiful

 

[Aaronology]

Top tier OP.

 

[BigWeather]

Glorious!

 

[Poodlestrike]

I feel like making Graham Ghandi would've been a better use of the joke tbh

But holy shit, fantastic OT!

 

[ivysaur12]

oh my god

 

[HanShotFirst]

Wonderful!

 

[dramatis]

I feel like making Graham Ghandi would've been a better use of the joke tbh

But holy shit, fantastic OT!

I was going to make him Spain for Isabella visual, but with all of his warmongering Shaka seems to fit

 

[Macho Madness]

I ate some cheese

 

[Poodlestrike]

Shaka is pretty brutal, but when I think "terrifyingly warlike," I think Gandhi, even though honestly Shaka's probably passed him at this point, lol.

 

[Bronx-Man]

 

[HylianTom]

My god. This is my favorite debate OP, by far.

Bravissimo!

(now I'm inspired to fire-up the map editor and make a new scenario..)

 

[Kangi]

By far the best OP yet, which is saying a lot.

Cruz will haunt my nightmares even more tonight.

 

[Voysa Reezun]

I want all of these as mods on Steam Workshop right now plz

 

[ampere]

Feels like it's been forever since a primary took place, bring on tomorrow.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Lol, fun theme. I dig it, even if I don't really play Civ or get 100% of what is going on.

 

[Brinbe]

Gonna be a long slog till New York.

 

[El Odio]

Incredible OP. I really wanna hop on civ V now.

 

[SolarPowered]

Fantastically fantastic opening post by the OP. I lost it when I saw that photoshop of Cruz.

 

[BanGy.nz]

I'm now reinstalling CIV5 because of you OP good bye free time.

 

[Four_Chamber]

Died at Ted Cruz photoshop

 

[sphagnum]

Rafael Theodora Cruz is lookin pretty good there.

 

[Rymuth]

*mwah* C'est magnifique

 

[Shmuppers]

This is a work of GENIUS

 

[TumblingHippo]

How can these keep topping the past ones?
They can't keep getting away with it!

 

[davepoobond]

amazing theme for this thread. lol. i love the cruz one

 

[Meowster]

I LOVE this theme, going to install Civ V now.

 

[Mecha]

[Kthulhu]

Wisconsin going to start the #BernPhase

This GIF is beautiful.

 

[Jenov]

Beautiful thread, love the characters

 

[Tubie]

omg incredible OP

Now I wanna play some Civ5.

 

[Fragamemnon]

ooh man I have nearly 4k hours in Civ 5. Relevant to my interests.

OP missed it on one thing though.

 

[Wiz]

Best one so far. And there have been a lot of great ones.

 

[Steel]

Lovely OP.

Edit: I actually think Kasich would've been better as India, though. One city benefits(Ohio) and peaceful early game only to be aggressive late game.

NY Times put up an interactive that shows how states lean using exit polls that have asked about specific issues and characteristics. We might have some additional data in tonight from Wisconsin.

Remember to vote today, Wisconsin peoples.

 

[Phased]

Voted last Friday for WI. I think Sanders may win the state, but as a Hillary supporter it'd be nice to see her pull it off and put this thing to bed before NY/CA.

It also looks like Cruz may very well give Trump a beatdown here, which almost certainly means we're looking at a Contested Convention which will be fascinating to watch.

 

[e_i]

Wisconsin only has 42 delegates? That's it? Why is everyone flipping out over it?

 

[ApharmdX]

Our primary is on the 26th and I'm ready to vote. I was worried that Sanders would drop out before then but it looks like he'll ride this thing all the way to the convention, which is the best possible outcome for the party.

 

[Phased]

Wisconsin only has 42 delegates? That's it? Why is everyone flipping out over it?

42 delegates is a huge deal when you're trying to catch up from a 200+ delegate deficit (Sanders) or get enough to avoid a contested convention that you will almost surely lose when it goes to round 2 of voting (Trump)

They both basically need to win the state, Sanders has to win it by a ton, just a small win won't change things much.

 

[Pagusas]

ooh man I have nearly 4k hours in Civ 5. Relevant to my interests.

OP missed it on one thing though.

This will be modded in within a day.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

I'm getting tired with how spread out these are now, after Super Tuesday 2 I reached my interest limit with primary results


still a political junkie so I'll follow it but with everyone fighting till the conventions, it doesn't matter

 

[noshten]

Wisconsin only has 42 delegates? That's it? Why is everyone flipping out over it?

When Ted wins all 42 Trump will fall to his knees and request a peace treaty and a pact against the Republican establishment.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

What an OP you beautiful bastard you.

Bobby Jindal | The Huns | Raze Louisiana twice as fast.

Oh shit.

 

[Ambient80]

Excellent OP. Also acceptable for Carson would have been some sort of Egyptian reference for storing grain in the pyramids

 

[Barzul]

Anyone voting in Wisconsin? What does it look like out there?

 

[superdeluxe]

God tier OP.

4/26 will be a great day

 

[dramatis]

Anyone voting in Wisconsin? What does it look like out there?

@tonydokoupil
Voting line more than 1hr long in Green Bay, but only 2 of 10 voting booths are in use. Bottleneck at checkin. Look:

This fellow is a poll inspector working the polls right now, with a general comparison to a recent race:

We're at 848 ballots cast, more than double the February Supreme Court primary for the entire day. Just voted Hillary.
