Again, this is basically just admitting that you don't support Trump, you support a fantasy candidate that is not currently running, but you've decided to pretend that Trump is that fantasy candidate and that once you've been together for a while you'll work off that rough exterior and reveal the dream politician you've always wanted.
I know that Hillary/Bernie Healthcare thread turned to shit but I was just curious about one thing. I do prefer Bernie but I thought it wasn't far fetched that Hillary's point was that she was asking Bernie if she forgot all the work she did for Healthcare Reform in 93 and 94, and not instead asking what he was doing for Healthcare. Instead of clarifying on that point though her communications manager admits that it was a flub and apologizes. What?
In my mind there are two scenarios here.
Scenario 1: Hillary actually was questioning what Bernie did for Healthcare, and both his physical support of literally being there and congressional support proves her wrong. Campaign staffer admits mistake and that they weren't aware of Bernie's actions.
Scenario 2: Hillary meant that it doesn't make sense for Bernie to attack her record on health care, asks if he was absent when she was trying to push her reform. Campaign staffer admits mistake instead of clarifying what she actually meant.
Both are odd, Scenario 1 hurts Hillary more and Scenario 2 hurts her staff more but even if HilLary meant Scenario 1 why wouldn't her staff just re-address their attack and reformat what she said? Doesn't make sense to me.
It's funny, when Trump says "we need to build a wall and keep illegal immigrants out" everyone said "what he REALLY means is he hates all Mexicans! Read between the lines! Of course that's what he means! So racist!"
Thanks. I'll read it later.http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/donald-trump-2016-authoritarian-213533

Even in the link you posted which didn't mention Sanders, look at the issues most important to authoritarians and tell me that's what's drawing supporters to Bernie.
No, dude, when he says "Mexican immigrants are murderers and rapists," it means he hates Mexicans. When he says he wants to illegally deport all Muslims from America it means he hates Muslims. I don't think you have to read between the lines on that. You just have to read the line.
As I think I've posted before in response to your posts, the big lesson here for the GOP is that all this careful implicit racism wasn't really necessary, because your core supporters are perfectly happy to spend time explaining why even the most explicitly racist statements you made aren't actually racist. Whether it's reinterpreting, semantic parsing, or, as in this case, just outright selective memory, if a voter wants to support a candidate, the fact that they are explicitly a bigot and fascist will simply not deter them.

Clinton's 72 delegate margin of victory in Texas basically canceled out all of Bernie's wins (net 86)

Sanders has netted 86 delegates from wins in 9 states. Clinton will probably net more than that in North Carolina and Florida on Tuesday

Yeah, it's obvious at this point. But there's still a little under 3 months in the process and it's going to be a bit of a slow drip in terms of states/delegates after Tuesday with the illusion of it still being competitive/Sanders still having a chance.hold me.
There was this liberal fantasy that Trump would pivot into a palatable Presidential candidate. But it ignores the extent to which his success has been driven by xenophobia, racism and bigotry. Pivoting loses that support base.
Unless the idea is that people continue to project whatever myth they want onto Trump if he were to pivot because of his loose association with things like reality and the truth.
He has a personal history of racism that's ignored though in this as well.

Watch season 1 for sure. Season 2 if you liked it, and then stop. I mean it.Is anyone watching the Town Hall. I talked my Berniebro into watching House of Cards with me. I've never watched it before.
I still think Trump is going to calm down after the primary, but yeah it's way too late to take back a lot of this stuff.There was this liberal fantasy that Drumpf would pivot into a palatable Presidential candidate.

Crazy.hold me.
I can agree with this. Only watch if you want to see the eventual comeuppance.Watch season 1 for sure. Season 2 if you liked it, and then stop. I mean it.
Season 4 is better than 2 and 3.Watch season 1 for sure. Season 2 if you liked it, and then stop. I mean it.
What? How does that even make sense? She's been under fire by Republicans for 20 years, irregardless of her last election.
Because there is a difference between a primary election and general election.
We, and by we I mean I, like season one so far.

Using google trends for anything serious is hilarious. Not only are the numbers heavily scrubbed by google, but it's not even based on search volume. Instead it's relative to the top search term. So a search term going from 10 to 20 searches would show the same as 500 to 1000.

Compared to same popular search terms, sanders and clinton are at 1 and 2. Takes someone special to incorporate that into your prediction.
I think that the point Ivy was making is that anybody capable of being swayed by GOP attacks on Hillary would have been swayed at some point in the last ~24 years.
I love you Hillary but: captain kangaroo called and wants his fashion sense back
Virginia is always left out of those conversationsAt this point I would not be surprised if he goes on a tirade of select words when she clinches the nomination.
Some guy on CNN with Mayor Nutter was like "Yeah she did win the South but he can win swing states like OH and MI" "Because of that the superdelegates can change their mind"
Greenwald's had too much of the kool aid. The Intercept is Blaze tier.
I honestly wonder if people just forget that Virginia even existsVirginia is always left out of those conversations

She can wear whatever the fuck she wants because she's not applying for the position of maid.I love you Hillary but: captain kangaroo called and wants his fashion sense back
We can't possible know this with any meaningful degree of certainty. She still hasn't been tested in a presidential general election and the focus in such an election is entirely different than anything that Hillary has had to deal with thus far.
