How are you still alive?

Well, these jelly beans were suppose to stay in my car for a snack but with Bernie's huge loss and all the hate here I need them. Alcohol would be better but I'm all out.
I mean, believe me, I feel the same way. I'm tired of being called a neocon or a sellout, and I'm definitely tired of people insinuating that as a minority voter I am basically stupid*.
* They don't mean me, of course, they mean those other minority voters.

I think she needs to stay cool and presidential while SuperPACs fuck him into the ground. Trump is too petty to be able to ignore a constant barrage of attacks. She can stick to the issues while Trump goes crazy. His beef with Megyn Kelly shows he can't take the heat.
Meh. That's not very good. What was turnout for the GOP in SC?

Can't get a hang over if you never stop drinking!
Kidding. I just love pineapple Smirnoff.

You are the Cleveland Browns version of Jakncoke in terms of your drinking ability.
It really isn't. But we have to remember that there's only one legitimate candidate running on the democratic side.

Primaries only bring out a small portion of the overall voting base, and the GOP has more consistent voters (i.e., ones that never miss a vote). Trump I'm sure is also helping this a bit.

Ugly. Goddamn that was ugly. Show some mercy, Hillary!
Tequila. Always tequila. Bloody Mary's is ballsy at this time, but respect. I know I'll be drinking that in the morning.
Archer approach. Don't stop drinking or the perpetual hangover will literally kill you.

Just got to this point in the thread, almost caught up. Bout to make you jelly. I went to a Hillary rally in 2008 in here in Madison. Have a AFSCME for Hillary shirt and everything. Got right up near the front, standing event only. Shook her hand after she finished. Went on to vote for her in the primary (supporter from the start).

We didn't want any of that mess.
My mother will be deployed to shame anyone she knows who voted for Sanders.
Yes but the huge gap can't be ignored. It suggests to me that Republicans are way more excited for this election.

I was drinking vodka as well, but tequila has seriously grown on me lately. Tequila + soda + lime = heaven.

You and me? We're bros.
I met her twice, once when I campaigned for her and once when I was volunteering for Obama. I love that woman. I legitimately love her. She's so damn smart and clever and....she's Hermione. She's Hermione Granger.
I'm going to do whatever it takes to meet her again this cycle!
If primary vote totals meant anything, then Bush should've lost in '88.
Democrats had higher turnout than the republicans with a shoe in candidate.
Way to make it sound dirty. We should all totally do this again at some point.
Oh you

In my experience Jewish weddings are the best place to smoke weed. Find the right person and you'll find everyone smoking in the back room. Just saying.
Don't skimp on the tequila or you'll regret it in the morning.

Republicans seem to mostly be turning out people who don't normally vote in primaries but already vote GOP in Presidential elections. They're not adding new voters for November.
The groom is a huge stoner but I'm pretty sure this wedding is going to be sober.
I also think I'm going to be the only (non-Jewish) minority there besides the bride.
I'm not letting Bernie get away with thinking that he tried to earn the black vote. That Black South Carolinians just didn't know Bernie and weren't willing to break their relationships with the Clintons.
He didn't try. He threw money at the demographic and hooked Killer Mike.
Say what you want about Hillary, but one of her FIRST stops at the beginning of her campaign was with a Black sorority, talking about Black women entrepreneurs and Black businesses. She's talked about Black community building. She's ALSO talked about racial injustice. She's talked about intersectionality. She WENT to Flint. She is one of the few prominent white politicians to openly say that white people need to listen when Black people speak.
Quite simply put: on every level, every conceivable metric, Hillary has had a more well-rounded approach to addressing the Black community. It's as though she actually cares about the community...or at least bothered to do her homework.
In comparison, Bernie didn't even TRY to make those kinds of connections. He never tried to address the positivity in black communities. He never attempted to broaden his message to appeal to black people. Whenever Black people come up, it's incarceration rates and welfare. Is that all Black people are to you, Bernie? Does that sum us up?
SC was probably never in the cards for him, but he could have done better than a 50 point loss. But he didn't, because he didn't even try. He instead fled to the whitest states in the union to try to keep his "revolution" alive on the backs of young white liberals.

Clinton never goes up in the polls. She only goes down. Look at tonight in South Carolina as evidence.

This is correct. Trump is a man-child. He can't let anything go. He couldn't resist going after Kasich, who's behind Carson and dead last in polls. The guy has such a massive, impossible ego, but it's nothing more than a hot air balloon. Hillary should start focusing on Trump after 3/15 and begin her general election strategy.
But with all that being said, she should run a serious fucking campaign. Like, the battle for the very soul of America stuff. Don't treat Trump like a clown or an unqualified businessman or someone out of his depth. Hit him on specifics. Social Security fund. CBO numbers. Bring out Al Gore's goddamn lockbox if you have to. The last thing she needs to do is not treat Trump's campaign seriously or "stay above it", especially when the mud begins to fly. Trump's going to bring out all the sordid history of Bill Clinton. That's the only thing he can control the media on. His general election playbook will be similar to the primary playbook. The dirty laundry will be aired every day. Maybe he will find new people who were "silenced" by the Clintons. White Water, Vince Foster, Ginnifer Flowers. It's going to be really horrid shitshow from Trump campaign and the media will be asking Clinton campaign to respond to all the shit being thrown. Hillary better find a way to control the narrative because Trump's going to be pulling stunts every night all the way to the election.
Yup, I've never gotten the personal criticisms on her. I mean, it's definitely possible she's a completely different person when you work with/for her or are in close proximity to her over an extended period, but she immediately came across as a genuinely warm and caring person. Same with Chelsea.

That was me. My gf gets me in weddings all the time. Get in the right conversation and you'll be smoking with every elder in the party. Maybe it's a NY thing though...

You met Chelsea!? Ugh. I want to meet her. Supposedly, I met President Clinton when I was like 5, but I don't remember it. My dad took me to a rally in 1991/2. I don't remember it at all. Never have met Chelsea
The problem is, people project their own ideas on Hillary more than her own. She's got a great sense of humor. She's insanely smart. She works like a damn dog. All that shit, Ir esepct so much. She's just...she's not a natural politician, but she's a damn hard worker. Damn hard.
And, I said this earlier, but barring some drastic change...for the first time in history a woman will be at the top of the ticket of one of the two major parties. I mean....YES!

adam your fanaticism for Hilary can be disturbing at times.
I will never forget the moment when John Oliver was interviewing him in Russia and you can see his soul dying.
