SE is one of nature's greatest tragedies. So hot, but so damn wrong about everything.

Doesn't that make her a little hotter, though? ;P

 

[Bishman]

Remember how salty The Young Turks were last time? Back at it it seems.

These clowns said a few weeks back that Bernie is a lock to win the primary. ROFL

Not sure about others but I expected a big loss in SC. Black voters overwhelmingly favor Clinton, we've known this for months now.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Yeah, I've commented on it before, but the development of the "breaking down all the barriers" message has been very good for her. The first time she used that in a debate was probably a turning point.

It turns her tendency to be all over the place in terms of talking about issues, her laundry list approach, into a positive.

And it lets her underscore her gender without talking specifically about it.

And she can thank Sanders for making her hone that message down.

 

[Four_Chamber]

Incredible.

This is just way above what I imagined.

Makes New Hampshire look like a VIRTUAL TIE

Reddit is melting down.

Most Bernie supporters I'm seeing on GAF seem fine though.

Absolutely

[Captain Pants]

Like you would expect

My Facebook has been a lot more quiet since Nevada surprisingly. I've got a good five or six Bernie people that have been real outspoken, but nothing since last week. I'm sure the reddit hive is still active, but it seems like the people I know in the real world seem to know that the revolution has been canceled.

 

[Gruco]

This is even more brutal than the most brutal of smackdowns I dared imagine.

Bernie can't seriously pretend to be a national candidate after this.

I mean, he will, but still.

Maybe he needed to send more dank memes to the south. That would probably fix it.

 

[Basileus777]

Yeah, but that's every day on those subreddits.

 

[Officerrob]

So is Bernie going to go out there and talk about his political revolution again tonight? That's a real tough sell with him losing 3/4 and turnout being down everywhere. He desperately needs another phase to his campaign

Rubio is at 21c, is this really not a good buy? It seems like he should be higher than that.

 

[Macho Madness]

Ted Cruz just released his tax returns

[Officerrob]

Isn't that basically betting on a brokered convention?

 

[Kangi]

Well, the fun's over. Back to being ashamed for living in SC.

 

[Y2Kev]

Isn't that basically betting on a brokered convention?

I'm thinking he could do well next week, maybe win a state or two as he outperforms polls (Minnesota?). Then obviously he can win Florida if these blows keep landing and Cruz flops. I figure the ceiling here is 40c, but that's doubling your money.

 

[UltimaPooh]

Like you would expect

Expected.

 

[Basileus777]

Rubio is at 21c, is this really not a good buy? It seems like he should be higher than that.

I could see it rising with a Cruz collapse on Super Tuesday, but then there's also the risk it goes down if Cruz wins Texas and doesn't drop out (which is the likely scenario).

isn't it "gross income"

not "growth income"

Maybe that was why he was holding up the Flint water fix a few days ago.

I won't buy it and will just curse Cerrium when it spikes to 36 next week.

Nice Hillary
Real life leslie knope vs bobby newport is really happening isn't it?

 

[sc0la]

Thats just income earned from the speaking fees the growth at the end of his neck earns.

well, aside from the ultimate margin of victory, anyway

Cept Leslie Knope never did no Goldman Sachs speeches!

More like the porn version of Leslie Knope vs Bobby Newport.

I wonder if Trump is really hiding something in his taxes. I mean...rich people basically have to!

 

[danm999]

I prefer to imagine Cruz's people didn't want the word gross anywhere near their candidate lest they give Trump more material.

 

[Gruco]

I wonder if Trump is really hiding something in his taxes. I mean...rich people basically have to!

In all likelihood, woefully tiny net income.

 

[shinra-bansho]

With this sort of blowout, I'm curious what happens to his fundraising machine.

On the one hand, I guess it could galvanise optimistic supporters into needing to contribute to not see a repeat.

On the other probably more likely hand, I would probably expect it to collapse or at least start drying up.

Although, I guess people if people are still giving to Ben Carson, so who knows.

 

[danm999]

That would be incredible.

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/fir...donald-trumps-financial-disclosure-statement/

I thought it was pretty good?

 

[shinra-bansho]

Trump is probably hiding that while he's still rich, he's not actually a very good businessman (which isn't that big a secret) and not as rich as he pretends to be.

 

[Manmademan]

Trump is probably hiding that while he's still rich, he's not actually a very good businessman (which isn't that big a secret) and not as rich as he pretends to be.

wouldn't the financial disclosure statement do a better job of demonstrating that than a tax return?

if most of trump's wealth is in real estate for instance wouldn't that not show up on a standard tax return?

 

[Macho Madness]

Trump is probably hiding that while he's still rich, he's not actually a very good businessman (which isn't that big a secret) and not as rich as he pretends to be.

Also: charitable donations

Hooollllyyy shit


The Bern has been buttered

 

[Oltsu]

Yeah, I've commented on it before, but the development of the "breaking down all the barriers" message has been very good for her. The first time she used that in a debate was probably a turning point.

It turns her tendency to be all over the place in terms of talking about issues, her laundry list approach, into a positive.

And it lets her underscore her gender without talking specifically about it.

And she can thank Sanders for making her hone that message down.

And most important of all it lets her ignore the issues that her donors would like her to ignore.

I think Sanders not attacking her hard on her faults was the wrong move. It allowed Hillary to go into "yes here's how much I agree with mr. Sanders on this issue" mode in debates etc. She wasn't challenged enough. And as can be seen from her 9-11/women donors response a while back she would have been an easy target for those attacks. Making her look foolish due to more answers like that would probably have hit her hard.

And most importantly the attacks would have come from the left. But Sanders didn't really attack. And because of that clinton gets to mostly disregard anything too uncomfortable in favor of being the socially progressive candidate.

So now I look forward to seeing whether Trump is going to go for it. Probably yes. How the media frames those attacks is an interesting question though. But I really do hope (even though I'd hate to see either trump or clinton in the WH) that Trump with his media savvy is able to steer the conversation into economic issues and money in politics. Because no matter who wins Hillary actually deserves to be grilled on those issues, with margins like in SC the Sanders campaign wont be able to move her enough in those areas.

 

[Macho Madness]

Willie Wilson came in third. Poor O'Malley.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Wait is the margin really 40+?
