Guys i just realized that great feeling of trump dominating poll after poll and taking his competitors down one by one is gone forever. Now all we have left is one big night 7 months from now. I wonder if there will ever be a primary like this again.

Kevin Williamson is shocked his party is racist? Has he read his own work?

edit: re-reading that he still doesn't get why trump won, he things the con-artist and not a true conservative attacks work. They don't care about that. They care about trump parroting the slanderous stories you post about blacks and other minorities being a cancer on the "productive class". YOU ARE WHY YOUR PARTY VOTED FOR TRUMP

This is what you wrote a few years ago:

‘Hey, hey craaaaaacka! Cracka!White devil! F*** you, white devil!” The guy looks remarkably like Snoop Dogg: skinny enough for a Vogue advertisement, lean-faced with a wry expression, long braids. He glances slyly from side to side, making sure his audience is taking all this in, before raising his palms to his clavicles, elbows akimbo, in the universal gesture of primate territorial challenge. Luckily for me, he’s more like a three-fifths-scale Snoop Dogg, a few inches shy of four feet high, probably about nine years old, and his mom — I assume she’s his mom — is looking at me with an expression that is a complex blend of embarrassment, pity, and amusement, as though to say: “Kids say the darnedest things, do they not, white devil?”

You know I really can't understand people.freaking out now that Cruz is out about the possibility Trump could be president when Cruz would be a far worse option. Even up until today I feel like most people didn't know just how horrible his policies were. It's a good thing he is such an unlikable shitstain

Because I get to hide behind the privilege of being a white male, I agree with you. From purely self serving reasons, I was always more scared of Cruz than Trump. I don't think Trump has issues with LGBT people. That's totally lip service. He knows his base. Cruz is a true enough believer that he really terrified me.

I'd be a lot more freaked out with Cruz becoming the presumptive nominee than I am about Trump right now.

Trump's a terrible person and would be a disaster of a president but Cruz is pure evil. Trump would drive us off a cliff, but Cruz would set us on fire and watch us burn.

Suppose it's fitting that it took an egotistical billionaire jackass to crack into the right-wing media machine built up over 20 years operated by an egotistical billionaire jackass. We all assumed the GOP nominee would be someone in favor at FOX, etc, yes? Their power monopoly is breaking, at minimum. Only 1 of the final 4 candidates was at all someone they were interested in, and they freaking hated the final 2.

They spent so long pulling media to the right that people fell in line with a candidate championed by parts of the internet farther to the right. They spent 8 years hating on Obama instead of actually building the party (outside a few Governorships). Thus no one even trusts "establishment" GOP anymore. They've only themselves to blame.

I guess it wasn't going to really hit me until one of them got nominated.

But I kinda laughed and shrugged off Donald Trump for a while. I thought he was a buffoon (a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, nationalistic buffoon) who would ultimately get crushed in the race for the presidency. I didn't do anything necessarily to help him (I haven't even voted yet!), but I definitely wanted him to win the nomination because I believed he would have the greatest chance to do the worst against Hillary.

I still believe all of this above. But there was a sobering moment when Cruz dropped out that I realized that this is happening. It's not just speaking in abstract terms about a possible Trump vs. Hillary election. This is real. This is happening. This is going to be the two people on the ballot come November. And it's a moral obligation to do whatever we can to make sure that Trump never ends up in the Oval Office.

I don't think he'll win. But I can't look into the future and say for certain. And I know that there will be two people on the ballot in November
that are not Jill Stein or Gary Johnson
who will be POTUS. One of those will be Trump. He's closer to being the leader of the free world than anyone else right now, besides Hillary. And that's terrifying.

The core truth Trump has laid bare is that Republican voters are powered by a resentful nationalism more than a principled conservatism. "Republican politics boils down to ethno-nationalistic passions ungoverned by reason," writes Jonathan Chait. "Once a figure has been accepted as a friendly member of their tribe, there is no level of absurdity to which he can stoop that would discredit him."

Fucking lol. I'm actually really glad that Fiorina won't be the VP choice. She is a pretty damn good attack dog because she lies with such an intense passion.

I was really surprised to learn this is only the second time Jill Stein has run for President. I don't know why, but it feels like Jill Stein and Gary Johnson have been on every ballot since I was eligible to vote.

I'll reflect a bit here (let's not kid ourselves, he's about to be the nominee):

Trump really scares me and the fact is he's this much closer to becoming POTUS. I've had so much animosity towards him ever since he called me and so many others rapists, drug dealers and murderers. If there is one thing I am looking forward to, it is his very likely and utterly crushing defeat this November. That will be something I cherish and celebrate in a big way.

It's also only the second time Gary Johnson has run for President. Third parties are generally better off if they can get someone to run twice because of the name recognition boost off of the first time. Yet they resist this for purity reasons.

Do you live in Massachusetts? Stein ran for Governor in 2002 and 2010. And Secretary of the Commonwealth in 2006.

I said this months ago and I'll say it again: the polls may be solidly against him, but so far Donald Trump has not only made it past every brick wall erected before him, he's ripped through them as though they were paper.

And I will not be counted among the growing number of posters who now wear a hefty layer of on egg on their face for thinking that nobody should worry about Trump. It's time to take Trump seriously. Been time.

Obama needs to give the speech of his life this summer warning the American people about the decision they're making this November and that we must band together to stop Trump. This needs to be the A More Perfect Union of 2016.

I disagree.

The last time the Democrats went into a "contested" convention was in 1980, when Kennedy tried to get delegates to switch from President Carter to him on the convention floor. Not only did that NOT work, a lot of people apparently blamed it for weakening Carter in the general, which he lost.

If Democrats go into a contested convention while the Republicans sit back, watching, laughing and unified while Bernie Sanders thrashes around embarrassingly as he continues to sling mud at Hillary...well, I don't see this doing much to put Democrats where they need to be by mid-Summer.

Yeah...I've basically been actively rooting for Trump throughout this entire GOP primary, first wanting the safer GE candidates to fail and later for #NeverCruz reasons (Cruz is like, my most loathed politician period) but....now that we're actually in this moment......eek.

Anyway, it really does seem like Carly is going for that lost-every-election EGOT doesn't it? We got Senate, we got Pres, we got VP......is a failed play for a house seat or a governorship next???

No joke, an old work colleague pmed me on Facebook to ask if I thought Trump could actually win, because he was scared (I have the reputation of being the guy who knows about politics).

If I could see him getting Florida, I'd be scared, but I don't.

Florida loves Trump though, you should have seen the boats docked at the Jax Landing to see him. I could see a lot of non-devs vote for him in my state.

ugh benji staphp

So there are still 176 supers who have not endorsed yet. Hillary needs 182 more delegates to take her over the finish line.

Let's give her 4 delegates (of 7) in Guam and 10 delegates (of 29) in West Virginia. She'll need 168 more delegates to clinch the nomination. Even though she's winning nearby counties, let's say she loses Kentucky (I actually am bullish on her chances there, but okay). 45% would give her ~25 delegates. Let's say she takes 35% of the vote in Oregon even though it's a closed primary. ~21 delegates.

She could conceivably roll out 120+ endorsements on May 17th to put her over the edge and end this.
