Possibly. NYC is coming up so it may be his turn next.

Tired of hearing about the GOP being pissed off Obama is in another country after a terrorist attack in another country.
What a bunch of lowlife asshats who have no respect for the office of president. They don't deserve to be anywhere near it.

There are times I'm glad W won because if they're blaming Obama for attacks in other countries they would never let the democrats live down 9/11 if it had happened on their watch. It's disgusting.

 

[Suikoguy]

Renting a building and hiring workers for a few hours instead of a full day?

Yeah. So a compromise would be the DNC would pay the state what they typically pay for a caucus, and the state picks up the rest of the tab. They make a similar deal with the RNC and that should pay for most of the Primary for the state.

I was not a fan of the Caucuses last election with Obama even though he won most of them. It really does more to gauge enthusiasm and those who have spare time instead of what voters would prefer for the general election.

what is that artwork referencing?

is there a wall paper version of it? I want it.

 

[StopMakingSense]

What is the real cost difference between a Caucus and Primary? Why not have the DNC pickup some of the cost, like their cost of a Caucus?

States pay for primaries. Parties pay for caucuses.

The Canadian thinks this tough guy act is making him look strong, but it's actually making him look like a hothead. How about, "Why would I care what he thinks? Here's what I'm here to talk about..." Instead he's acting like they're going to meet behind the gym at 3 o'clock.

its like Nebraska.

That might be the only time in history anyone has uttered the words "[Washington;] it's like Nebraska."

Each girl in our work represents a combination of abstract aspects about America – states, cities, values, famous people, etc and a particular U.S. navy ship. They’re called “shipgirls” for that reason. In our story, they fight extra-dimensional giant-monsters.

I see 40k, WoW, and anime here

not sure how it fits together other than Trump is the Emperor of Mankind.

Sanders is going after the disaffected more than squarely working class whites. I don't think it was the original plan, he thought his economic populism would resonate naturally but lacks any skill at intersectional messaging. It's just how it's turned out. And he hasn't really won the group so much as split it.

Also I don't think trying to get early wins just to make a viable campaign argument (if that's even really a strategy) and trying to get early win that allow you to steamroll the nomination are the same. Clinton was planning on the latter both times anyway.

And again she ignored (white) caucuses in favor of large primaries. While his entire campaign is basically built on white caucuses.

I just really don't see the parallel.

Hrm I guess I thought he's winning that demographic more than splitting it. Haven't looked at the numbers recently though (since, well the primary's been functionally over for a while). I guess the two campaigns seem very similar to me.

35,000 have early voted in the Washington caucus as of today. That appears to be the Clinton campaign's strategy.

Not sure that'll work out well for Clinton in WA

It's not fraud per-say but it is using the system to your advantage:



http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle...ee-votes-flood-in-before-democratic-caucuses/

They anticipate total turnout to be about 200,000.

Remember, Washington is purely a vote by mail state. I would honestly expect the next caucus to have more people vote via mail / absentee than actually in person.

 

[Makai]

There you go

Or...Monica Lewinsky

Absolutely zero clue who's hugging Ivanka

 

[B-Dubs]

Neither do I, but if she can keep it close that would be good.

 

[Makai]

Everyone's kinda hard to recognize except for Jeb, who has a chibi head in real life.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

I think Trump's crash and bern will do more to advance race relations in the US than the election of Obama.

Trump crashing and burning will be like the reaction to civil rights in the 60s and decades of big gov't but worse.

Warhammer, Terminator, bunch of anime...

Oh my god. How are we barely finding out about this now.

 

[Crocodile]

2 words: Cornell West

Oh shit I forgot about that. What a fucking blow-up. Choosing West as your surrogate for the AA community just shows you have no idea what you're doing.

He attacked Obama. If you want to win the black vote that's the one thing you don't do, I'm white as shit and even I know that. It's like trying to win over Catholics by saying the pope is a little bitch.

Also this. If want a quick and easy way to get on the bad side of your average Black voter, attack Obama.

I can't make heads or tales of this. Good art though. You gotta source? You always gotta post a source when you post art.

 

[Makai]

Guy next to Hugh is Rush

 

[Cybit]

Neither do I, but if she can keep it close that would be good.

I think other state early returns won't be the same pattern as WA just because folks are used to voting by mail / much early. So I suspect the absentee voting might be the same proportion as the caucus in person.

 

[Makai]

Trump has more endorsements in current national govt than Kasich

 

[Macho Madness]

Who is in the tank? Is that Eric Trump or Junior?

I want to know what that paper is that Hillary's pointing to. Bernie looks distraught.

The California and New York polling numbers?

For me, ever since 2003 I knew I wanted that dude to be governor of IL some day (we've had a bad run of governors, you can understand why) and maybe president (we were afraid for his safety though) just because he was humble, inspiring, sincere, genuine, and remembered that principles and pragmatism are allies, not enemies.

Working for him during the 04 primary and then US senate race (though...there wasn't that much we HAD to do in that race, lol) was one of the first times I gave a crap about politics and seeing the good it can do when people genuinely want to make things better than just gain power. I remember trekking back home to watch his announcement that he was entering the presidential race, and him somehow remembering me and saying hi, and taking a few seconds to meet my family and say hi. It makes me happy that you're seeing Obama this last year just say eff it and be who he is.

Sounds like a really cool experience, I'm not surprised that Obama in person oozes charm like he does as a public figure.

No

Yea gonna have to say no as well. What the fuuuuck

 

[Rubenov]

Trump crashing and burning will be like the reaction to civil rights in the 60s and decades of big gov't but worse.

Not if he loses the general election in a landslide. Him losing badly means a platform based on racism is going nowhere. Is not a guarantee, but the GOP going through this process may be what they need to break away from that shit for good.

Cruz got owned literally two seconds after his tough talk, that's incredible:

Besides the fact he will be crushed I want trump as the nominee just watch these pieces of shit have to endorse him after that pledge they never thought would come back to bite them. I see how easily they folded on endorsing Cruz when they hate him.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

Cruz immediately shitting a brick when asked if he'd still support Donald as the nominee is incredible. Here you finally have the PERFECT reason to renege on your initial pledge, and look like a strong, decisive leader in the process, even showing a little *gasp* humanity, and instead, Cruz demurs because he knows he's going to be kissing Big Poppa Trump's Size 6 ring if it means the slimmest possibility of keeping Hillary out of the White House.

 

[HylianTom]

Man, the red states are reeeeallly putting on a nice demonstration on how vital a liberal federal judiciary is. Voting rights, LGBT rights.. I wonder what's next.

Genuinely interested in what's poligaf's favorite hilary policies that are unique to her and why. Also would appreciate it if someone takes the time to explain what makes her college loan repayment plan different than the income based repayment plan I'm already currently in.

LOL it's like the debate before last when he and Rubio went HAM on Trump for two hours straight...and then pledged to support him in the end.

This party just can't stop eating its own shit.

The amount of straight up cowards involved in important positions in U.S. politics in amazing. Haven't these guys stepped on people and crushed and knifed others to get to this point? How can someone become a Senator of the United States and be weak enough to endorse Ted Cruz and be willing to support Trump if Trump is the nominee?

How can you go through knife fights in politics and then be scared of an orange man with tiny hands? Maybe politics is a lot easier than I thought.

 

[sphagnum]

I like that Rubio is a cross between Darth Vader and Terminator but what is Jeb supposed to be? Force Ghost Harry Potter?
