Another 3rd down back is already covered...

Arizona State running back/wide receiver D.J. Foster signed with the Patriots, he tweeted. Foster played running back in his first three seasons at Arizona State before moving to wide receiver. He finished his college career with 444 rushing attempts for 2,355 yards and 18 touchdowns and 222 catches for 2,458 yards with 14 touchdowns. He ran a 4.46-second 40-yard dash with a 6.75-second 3-cone drill and 4.07-second short shuttle during the pre-draft process.

Trump actually won it all. GOP says Trump is the presumptive nominee.

Damn. If you would have told me this would happen one year ago, I would have told you that you were a crazy person.

Trump has years of experience in business and entertainment. He knows how to work people, plain and simple. I never really thought it was that huge a long shot once things started to get close to the primaries.

I've said it all along, at least partially joking at the beginning.

Hillary is a garbage candidate who will probably get beat. I don't like any of them tbh. Bernie was the last best chance.

Hillary is gonna destroy him in the elections. Now that he's got his nomination he's gonna go back to being a Romney. But forget politics.

Let's talk about what down you should call a weak side blitz on?

Hillary will walk it but yeah, you fucked this up America.

Every down.

Of course, that also led to my head coach coming over to me at least once in literally every game and saying "Never call that play again".

The season quickly evolved into me waiting for the right moment to sneak in the most random of blitzes and hope he didn't notice. I think I might start coaching again, that shit was pretty hilarious.

I wouldn't be so sure. She has an easier path to a win, but she also has a ton of baggage.

If they open the right closet, who knows what skeleton will fall out. She's beatable in an election that should be in the bag for the dems.

Bernie polls better against Trump. Hillary struggles against him. They both beat him, but Bernie more cleanly.

The only chance Trump had was if he went against Bernie. Say what you want about Hilary, but there will be no way she doesn't win, and I find it hard to believe it will even be close.

I find it hard to see a scenario where Hillary loses to Trump. There is no way that Trump can get enough minority votes to win the whole thing, no matter what dirt there is on Hillary (and Bill).

Bernie would be a cake walk, just whisper "socialist" and it's all over.

I heard a stat on CNN (I know, not the most reliable) that only 3 out of every 20 black males needs to vote for Trump for him to swing the minority vote enough to make it competitive or something like that. If people buy into his jobs narrative it's not impossible. Trumps jobs narrative vs the Clinton NAFTA legacy could make this more interesting than people think.

Bernie's numbers wouldn't hold up in the general. I'm not a big fan of Clinton, but I'll happily vote for her in the general. Most of the negative stuff you hear about her is manufactured GOP garbage. Meanwhile the media hasn't even went in on Trump yet, he's gonna get his tiny balls handed to him on a platter.

Dude, were you like not watching early on in this primary? The media was going in on Trump, his entire party was going in on him, and he walked out on top.

He is so awful on foreign policy. I don't see how that isn't exposed vs. Clinton.

So what of the scenario where she is indicted? That's still a very real and potentially damaging possibility.

He's awful on foreign policy? Because of the China stuff?

He's pro-Israel, anti-Iran, and tough but extending a hand to Russia. He's like a republicans foreign policy dream I would imagine. The China stuff is going to resonate so hard with job hungry or impoverished people that it would make up for a large portion of it. Is it the Mexico stuff? Yeah, that's going to probably be the biggest knock against him, but I think he was betting that the Latino vote was going to go against him anyway.

There's no closet with Hillary. She's been the subject of GOP attack ads for 23 years now. Absolutely everything she has ever done has been turned into a scandal. Her unfavorables can't possibly get lower; in fact, as the reality of a Trump presidency draws nearer, her unfavorables will most likely get better. Additionally, Bernie hasn't been attacked at all, a lot of people don't know him. He praised Fidel Castro this year, he published a paper in the 70s where he claims the woman's sexual fantasy is to be gang raped by 3 men (Sanders isn't a sexist, or racist, he just lacks tact and stubborn), he honeymooned in the Soviet Union, he supported the Sandinistas, he had a child out of wedlock, etc. And that's not to mention he doesn't have the substance to back up his platforms. And further, whenever people talk about the election and people staying home, people forget that the two most reliable Democratic voting blocks are women and African Americans, as well as other minorities. And Trump has done a fantastic job pissing them off. Latino registration is skyrocketing as well.

I'm sorry I just don't mean to rant at you, but I just want to clear the record. I'm not saying Bernie Sanders is a bad person. I'm also not saying Hillary Clinton is a great candidate. There are plenty of valid reasons not to like her or want to vote for her. But in this election, against Trump, it'll be a blowout. And with the chance to tip the Supreme Court liberal for the next 20-30 years, Trump will get crushed

That's because primary voters are always the most hardcore and dedicate segment of the party. And for the GOP, that means a lot of racists and nationalists. Trump is basically the Tea Party unleashed as a candidate. But everything he did that caused huge gains in his base has equally driven away Independents and Democrats. He has historical polling lows among these groups, and people despise him. There is a reason Reince Priebus is shitting his pants and worrying about the death of the GOP. Trump is an extinction event level candidate that could destroy the party for a generation. Hillary would have to be thrown in jail, which she won't. That indictment isn't coming.

You're going to find out now that the party is rallying behind him. Remember, a few weeks ago we were thinking contested convention, now the party is lining up behind him.

Also, about scrutinizing Trump, he's been so vague in details that there's not a lot to scrutinize. You can go in on him about "not providing details", but by the time there is ammo we'll be well in to the general election and it may be too late. Plus he could just develop those details in the general.

I don't think he wins, I just don't think it's going to be a blow out and I think he'll do better against Clinton than a lot of people expect.
