I mean, they're right. Kasich is fantastic at camouflaging himself as a moderate, and would be a much smarter GE pick for the GOP. Thank fuck they also fell for his act.

I wonder if Sanders can get some momentum from his likely wins in NE, KS, and ME.

It seems to me like there's a serious cultural legacy of racism in the North and Midwest from when blacks were seen as a threat to white labor that goes on til today.

Rural areas of the North are racist as shit. Suburban and rural Midwestern states are just as racist as any parts of the deep South.

But New Hampshire is rural and we're green!

No. There's a 15% threshold.

He shouldn't have to preface anything because he shouldn't be making the statement in the first place. It doesn't even matter if he had legitimate points to make.

It's just as offensive when comedians do it in regards to their generalizations about white people or black people.

You don't get to dictate to me how I should feel about this, regardless of how insignificant it may seem to you.

This is a Reddit post, not an editorial in The New Yorker.

The tone is conversational, and people casually generalize in conversation all the time. I'm not telling you how to feel about it, but it is what it is.

Anyway, this article brings me comfort in that Team Queen is taking the Trump threat seriously.

Man, Trump really looks like he has a great chance of winning Ohio with all of these racism maps pointing to the state being super racist.

And he's going to fucking kill in Kentucky and Pennsylvania.

Who told the straight people they could talk about sexy things in PoliGAF? :p

Oh, at that Michigan poll OH at that Michigan poll. If my queen gets those margins there, i will never say anything bad about the State Up North again.

(And by never, I mean until the polls close....)

Clinton wins in Canada

If Canadians could vote for the next U.S. president, there’d be a clear favourite: Hillary Clinton.

This is according to a new Nanos poll in which Canadians were asked “Which of the following candidates running for U.S. president do you think would be most favourable to Canada’s interests?”

It turns out the former First Lady and former Secretary of State is a sizeable favourite even over fellow Democrat Bernie Sanders. Clinton polled at 37 per cent, compared to Sanders at 26 per cent.

Here's something no one is reporting on. Trump has a women problem:



Averages out to a 7 point deficit nationwide.

Now just keep this one quiet for a little longer okay?

I respect women incredibly. I have had women working for me in positions that they’ve never worked in terms of construction, in terms of so many different jobs. I had a woman who was in charge of the building of Trump Tower, many years ago, before anybody would have even thought of it, and did a fantastic job. I have given women more opportunity than I would say virtually anybody in the construction industry.

I have a daughter named Ivanka and a wife named Melania who constantly want me to talk about women’s health issues because they know how I feel about it and they know how I feel about women. I respect women, I love women, I cherish women. You know, Hillary Clinton said, “he shouldn’t cherish,” well I said, I do cherish, I love women…. I will take care of women, and I have great respect for women. I do cherish women. And I will take care of women.

If he can't close that he's in trouble Michigan has loads of blue collar workers who should break entirely for him, but he needs to perform with blacks. And yeah lemme guess Trump is now forever stuck at the new ceiling of 39%??!?!

I was debating with a friend today whether Bernie ever had a realistic chance of grabbing a decent portion of the African American vote. This might be a rehashed argument but even if Bernie hadn't essentially given do you think he could have grabbed enough support to make some of the states at least reasonably close?

Haha true. I'd have to learn a little more about the baseline but it doesn't seem like a great starting point.

Not even Republican women, but white women. We know all of the Republican states before yesterday were 85%+ white. Kerry got 56% of the white female vote. If Trump can't get at least 53% or so its almost literally impossible for him to win against Clinton.

No one's really said this outright yet. Are the only possible outcomes in the republican primary a Trump win or a brokered convention now? If Rubio has no path and Cruz sucks outside of the south, what other options are there?
Click to expand...


The only real way that would happen is if Kasich and Cruz or Rubio drops out this week. But they've all ruled that out so the only other possibility is for something BIG would to go against Trump. Like Romney would have to use his speech tomorrow to list every illegal / unethical business thing Trump has ever done and just completely bury him.

Probably not against Clinton and her 20+ years of presence in the African American community.

Just looked at the Colorado results on Politico... with 76 of 79 delegates allocated, Bernie and Hillary both have 38 delegates, despite the 59-40% voting margin.

edit: ah dammit. Politico includes supers. nvm. Well, I can try to salvage this post by remarking on the 90 delegate blowout in TX.

I just want it to be over with before the GE starts, or hell, within the next few months. If the proceedings are still going on, trump will be using it left and right against her. Would end up being bad for us.
