"Hey, let's fuck over the best guy for beating Hillary. Because why not."
Gotta love it. Thank you Trump and Cruz for defeating dark horse Kasich.

House of Cards, yes. Game of Thrones, absolutely not. Ugh. Show is awful.

House of Cards doesn't have much more going for it, imo, but it covers everything in a thick layer of cynicism.

Fair point. I love the backstabbing that goes on in politics, so this stuff is like crack to me.

Unfortunately , Bernie brings nothing to the table but a bunch of impotent rage that won't even make it to the mid term elections.
Rewatching the now infamous town hall of Chris and Donald today on MSNBC reminded me of that day when Chris Matthews snatched Reince Pubic's wig in 2012. Another classic

Kasich invites Stephanopoulos to go with him to the big dance.
I forgot Kasich is governor of the state that's holding the convention. Home state advantage?

My prediction for the RNC convention:
Trump wins enough delegates to win the nomination. However, Lyin' Ted sends out an email telling delegates to stay home. Trump delegates end up staying home to watch reruns of The Apprentice. Cruz is poised to win the nomination but ends up strangling himself with his own nose. Mitt Romney ends up winning the nomination by offering binders full of women to all the unpledged delegates.
Days later, Jim Gilmore's remains are found in an alley outside of a KFC in Virginia. It turns out that he's been dead for 10 months, and never actually had a campaign for more than a week.

Holy fucking god. Fuck the Walking Dead.
Hearing Trump and Cruz's campaigns team up to try to ruin the only guy that has a shot of winning the GE makes me feel better.

That's the political Cinderella story, yeah, but I don't know if it's ever actually worked out that way. They usually just plan the conference for a swing state they need.

Is it legal to do bribes of any sort?
No idea if it's true but NPR said this would not be illegal.
I don't see it in the rule books sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.................................................
Yes. RNC rules are extralegal. There was an interview with somebody on the rules committee that said this was allowed.
On my way to Cleveland as an RNC unbound delegate for Trump. Pay me $1 million, buy Metal Gear Solid from Konami, & make Half-Life 3 happen and I'm yours. I'll vote 100 ballots if that is what is takes for you to win.
God, now if this doesn't happen I will cry.

It's going to be like 10 cent beer night in Cleveland all over again.
If the RNC can just not set the river on fire, that'd be great.

Yea they're gonna set off an atom bomb there, ain't gonna be a Cleveland after they're done.
I wanna be a delegate sooooooo bad. b-dubs you in Trump land. Give me some connections to that money. I'll vote for him for over 9000 ballots if he needs it to be the nominee. Tell him all I want in exchange is MGS 6, $1 million dollars, Soul Calibur 6, Final fantasy XVI etc.
Dude, if I had that connection I'd be hooking myself up!
omg. I can picture it now. Too bad they don't let the public onto the convention floors.
Day 1: Rage
Day 2: More Rage
Day 3: RAGE
Day 4: RAGE!!!;lkjalfk
Why do I get the feeling this is going to end in with people getting terribly injured...or worse?

Yes, Self-employment tax. Covers employee and employer portions of Medicare/SS taxes. Form Schedule SE. ~15% Charged off the top of the first 120k from the result of Schedule C (though you can use 50% as a deduction for income tax).
GoT is gonna be a good roadmap for how the RNC goes, IMO.

Self employment tax, ya.
Fucking sucks. I start working as an Independent contractor next week, and the tax rate is going to eff me over so bad.
It's going to end with Kasich calling the national guard on the place.

The RNC is basically the biggest reason I'm glad to not be spending any time in Cleveland this summer

Thats gonna be some good optics.
Actually, that is brilliant. Arrest a bunch of Trump and cruz delegates, get the most pledged delegates in the first vote.
Ok. So the employer just needs to fill out a 1099, right?

Yep, the self-employed pay double FICA taxes. And if NYC we also have to pay an extra 4% surcharge if we make too much money. By the end of last year I was being taxed literally 55% on every new dollar I earned...
And Mitt Romney pays 12% taxes.
If we have a PoliGAF meetup would we should totally order Trump wine and steaks for shits and giggles
NO TWD SPOILERS PLEASE. I am too tired to watch tonight.

Isn't there a conflict of interest with Kasich being the sitting Governor and all
Like what if shit gets really crazy, and Kasich takes actions that end up benefiting his candidacy. Lawl

I actually like Bernie's small business plan - offer low interest loans. Capital is definitely the biggest hurdle for starting out. Much better than Hillary's plan, which is the usual centrist stuff.

Hillary also plans on increasing small business loans.
I actually owe the ACA for me going ahead with what I'm doing. If it weren't for the ACA, I wouldn't be able to take this (slight) risk. I'm still looking for an employee position, but I'm going to be working for myself doing QA work. I actually have work and everything. If I get the job with Apple, I can still do this on the side. The one time I take a risk and it kind of paid off. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about losing my health insurance. If I did, I wouldn't have been able to try.

Holy shit so Kasich is secretly planning a coup d'etat for the nomination? "jeez oh man this is just great thank you for the generous nomination its an honor."

To be fair, there hardly is a Cleveland as it is.
What the shit. Yesterday, it was in the mid 50's or so, clear weather, not bad. I have a nice long Warhawk session, and start catching up on PoliGAF in the evening. During this, a big fuckball of lake effect god damn SNOW hits Cleveland, and knocks out our power for seven hours. Today, it's all melted away and sunny again. In APRIL. This fuckin' town.
My wife wants us to leave town for the weekend, I'd personally rather stay here to make sure our house isn't broken into by roving mobs of Trump supporters.
