I don't understand why OT seems so worried about it then. Trump as the nominee seems like the best-case scenario of the GOP completely imploding given that he's not even a part of the party apparatus and is completely unelectable.

The worry about Trump is that on the off chance he wins the presidency, he could cause massive harm to the world and country through his instability. Who knows what happens when Putin "disrespects" him?

But, all of the Republican candidates other than Kasich (who would just be normal bad) are potentially unhinged so Trump isn't unique in regard.

I was at fourteen I think. I blame the mainstream media.

I'd be lying if I said I was the grand-puba know it all about politics, but a lot of people have recently shown they have no idea what they are talking about.

Expect republican establishment to make a huge deal about Trump's tax returns tonight. That's their big attack point now after coalescing behind Rubio.

Man that #WhichHillary thing has been trending on Twitter all day. I wonder if it does end up doing some damage.

lmao it's been co-opted by Rand Paul. Of course it has.

 

[CCS]

Can we just rename OT to Diablosing: The Forum and leave it there?

It's an establishment chart. I wouldn't worry too much.

 

[Hilbert]

My facebook is full of people terrified of a trump nomination, and I keep trying to calm them down, that this is the best possible outcome for the democrats.

Please jesus, don't prove me wrong America.

Yeah, Marco "I have no idea how to do finances" Rubio is sure going to look good going after Trump's tax returns. That's an attack that will work also.

Tell them to be afraid. If it gets them to vote, I'm all for saying Trump is going to win.

Essentially a margin of error difference between the last poll, which had Clinton 45, Sanders 43.

I would have loved to see Walker in it to lose to Trump.

Same poll shows:

Johnson 37

 

[Angry Grimace]

I'd be lying if I said I was the grand-puba know it all about politics, but a lot of people have recently shown they have no idea what they are talking about.

The concept of Trump winning a general seems like fantasy world, so if you gave me the option of inserting anyone in the GOP field as the candidate, I would pick Trump because he doesn't seem electable at all.

Rubio might come off as slightly less unhinged, but I absolutely do not want him as the nominee. Considering what the President's actual power is, I don't know that I buy that he would be less destructive than Trump, and he's a lot more likely to actually become president. FWIW, I'm pretty sure Trump is actually smarter than Rubio is.

I enjoyed this.

 

[PantherLotus]

Subbed!

Quick hot takes:

1. Bernie is going down so hard on Super Tuesday.

2. Pretty sure GOP is staring down the barrel of a brokered convention with echos of DNC 1968.

87 percent of the Wisconsin dem primary turnout in 08 was white... If Bernie can't actually crush her in this state he doesn't have much of a path left

Pretty much. There is a big thread for it on the Sanders reddit.

Love how we go from 1 and a half threads in a whole year to OT2 inside of two months in an election year.

 

[B-Dubs]

New thread, but I still want to know about this:

When he said he wanted to place farmers on the Board for the Federal Reserve I knew for a fact he had absolutely no clue what to do about our present situation but instead just promise rainbows, unicorns and good old fashioned horseshit to naive youngsters who don't live in the real world

Because that is fucked up.

Because that is fucked up.

If I were elected president, the foxes would no longer guard the henhouse. To ensure the safety and soundness of our banking system, we need to fundamentally restructure the Fed’s governance system to eliminate conflicts of interest. Board members should be nominated by the president and chosen by the Senate. Banking industry executives must no longer be allowed to serve on the Fed’s boards and to handpick its members and staff. Board positions should instead include representatives from all walks of life — including labor, consumers, homeowners, urban residents, farmers and small businesses.

Yeah please keep him faaaaar away from Wall Street reform

You're just trying to make all the money aren't you?

I told everyone to buy Cruz in the 50s and I don't think anyone listened.

Then bam, new poll shows him up 15, and the price shoots up more than 10 cents.

LOL like this matters to anybody on that side.

"Are you kidding? I've tried to release my tax returns--I've got to rent two semi-trucks to haul them over here. The only taxes we should be talking about are how we're going to fix the average American's taxes."

*Laughs, applause*

Oh wait--it's the crowd stacked by the RNC

*Boos, hissing, tomatoes thrown*

 

[Macho Madness]

I said it on Twitter and i'll say it again:

No one gives a shit about Trump's tax returns except people who think people care about Trump's tax returns.

He doesn't need to just win, he needs to run up the score, like she is doing in the south.

Tying in heavily white states is not going to get him anywhere, especially when depending on how it is run, she might come out with more delegates even with a tie or a slight lose.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

I think "Donald Trump Loves Us" would have been a better, more self-deprecating take on the same joke. But I'm okay with what we got! Try not to burn through this whole thread in a month, guys.

Couldn't have done it without them.

For every second after the polls close that it hasn't been called, I'ma take a shot.
