Well if he doesn't want big donors, don't think they'll be able to compete with the democrats.

My parents and I are fortunately completely aligned in our support of Hillary. And the resentment over how she's been treated for the last two decades is very real with my mother, the simmering anger of liberal women is not to be underestimated.

My mom is further left than I am. My dad is about where I am, although he hates unions.
I've said it before, but this election isn't really going to be Hillary vs. Trump. It'll be Obama vs. Trump. He is the only one with the platform large enough to demolish Trump and he has already got in his head. Anytime the President holds a presser, the media will cover it. He'll just be taking pot shots all year long from the White House drawing fire off Hilldawg and hitting the trail with force. Obama's final job.

If trump wins the whole thing we'd be in a darker timeline than back to the future part 2. At least Biff wasn't the fucking president.

Wait, what was the reason people gave for why Deval Patrick shouldn't be Hill's VP?
Obama with the fifth dimensional chess moves.
I can't wait to see the gymnastics being pulled off in rationalizing Merrick before the election is over from those who said they wouldn't budge. Don't worry guys, this was the plan all along, all according to keikaku.
Bain Capitol connections in a year where both sides of the electorate hate Wall Street and Clinton is already accused of being in the pocket of big banks.

Claim on /r/The_Donald-- "CIA Director claims: Hillary emails may have CAUSED the Benghazi disaster!!!"
What's at the actual article linked: "Ray McGovern, CIA analyst and a trusted confidant of Presidents Nixon, Ford and Reagan, believes it is entirely possible that Clintons unsecure server was hacked."
Top comment: "Oh shit. Of all the theories I have heard, this makes the most sense." Though out of fairness there is an upvoted comment that calls out the source and title as bullshit. OP replied to that; "I didn't catch the difference before posting and cannot go back and edit it... However, if the story adds up and is true, it doesn;t matter if Hitler himself said it."
Number of sub subscribers that actually clicked through and read: Statistically insignificant. Gonna be a long summer, folks. God, it's Gamergate bullshit again. Shit. "Total lie of an article summary from grey web non-news source defaultly trusted as 100% fact without ever reading it; Even after being called out supporters don't give a shit." Anyone disagreeing could be "cunts", "sluts", "bitches", "SJWs", "cucks", etc.

When she wins in November you know who to thank

The GOP is playing tic-tac-toe, Obama and Hillary are playing chess, but Trump is busy solving the JFK assassination.

BO should rescind his nomination and leave the seat open until after the inauguration. Because "the People deserve a voice."
People throw around 'lol' trivially these days, but I literally laughed out loud.

My mom is the type of republican voter that doesn't think about politics much, but votes every election for the republican because she's always been a republican.
Just Hillary Clinton as a candidate by herself presented the first time there was an opportunity to make her rethink her vote, and Donald Trump absolutely seals the deal. I doubt it'll transition to long term support or downballot swaps, but it's certainly something, and I'm sure there's plenty of people like that to make 2016 an easy win for democrats.
Even against Jeb or Rubio, Hillary would probably get a lot of voters that like her experience, don't see her saying anything controversial, and understandably want a first woman president. Trump only helps to add to that.

Hillary leads Trump by 13 points in new CNN poll:

Most important point, Republicans view "terrorism" as the most important issue facing America. Now, fewer Americans have been killed by ISIS ever than have been killed via domestic violence in the last week. Does "terrorism" mean "my desire to exclude brown people from the United States" or Republicans so bad at assessing risk that they are honestly so afraid?
It's kind of like the main Obama question remaining: Do Republicans say he's a Muslim because of genuine stupidity or are they using it as a substitute for the n-word?

If the current (lack of) media coverage of Sanders is any indication, the US media has already made this a race between Clinton and Trump and are giving Sanders the most limited amount of coverage feasible.
Unless Senator Sanders gets really nasty, there's nothing worth covering anymore. His campaign is no longer viable.
I had always just assumed it was because of his middle name, but now I'm not so sure. That's going to fester...

He could be on the Court for 20 years or so, and he's immensely qualified.
It seems likely that Ginsberg and Kennedy will retire soon anyway, plenty of time for Goodwin Liu.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The problem for the GOP is that the guy they're running engenders the opposite of liberal complacency.

No, but Nixon was in his fifth term (or at the very least ran for one in 1984, vowing to end the Vietnam War by 1985).

He's the asshole in monopoly with a bunch of shit on the first two properties and that's all he owns but he refuses to concede so we can move on with our lives.
My mom grew up in a Dem household with Dem values. She votes Dem most of the time, except for a few years when she abstained because she felt like she was canceling out my dad's voice by voting against him (which didn't matter anyway because we've lived in Washington state for nearly ten years, but anyway.)
I had to be like, "Mom, what about your voice? Who cares how dad votes, vote how you like."
She will 100% vote for Hillary. She loathes Trump with a fire that burns like a thousand suns. Because of all the bullshit my dad spews, she's been very much one of those "both parties are the same" people, even if she leans D, but when it comes to Trump she gets this uncharacteristically fiery look in her eyes and is like, "We have to destroy him."
Dems could be running a literal donkey as their nominee. She'd still vote for that over Trump.
If he was just in his 50s, we'd probably get another good decade. It's a shame but he does seem very qualified, even if he's portrayed as someone more moderate than I'd prefer.
I dunno. I worry he'll pivot well. I already see a lot more "He didn't really mean anything he was saying" and "He's really a lot like Bernie" posts coming through my stream. It seems like he just has to basically say nothing and let people make up their own narratives about what he does/doesn't believe at this point.
The first thing he did after he won 5 states last Tuesday was say that Hillary would only be at 5% if she were a man!
And then last night he tweeted O'Reilly that he won Virginia, because O'Reilly mistakenly had a graphic saying he lost it. He is delusional and does not know how to pivot.
Agreed. There's no way he can keep his mouth shut long enough for people to rationalize away all his problems.

He's not going to just stop talking about his crazy wall.
And his wall reminds everyone about all the racist stuff he's said

Trump is incredibly thin-skinned and lacks self-control, he's going to be saying damaging stuff non-stop once the Democratic pacs and Hillary unload on him.

When I was growing up my mom was a pretty outspoken Republican and she didn't care much for Hillary. She seemed to particularly hate "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child" even though I doubt she read it. Dubya pretty much drove her away from the party and I can't imagine she'd vote for Trump. I had always just assumed my dad was Republican as well, but I later found out he'd been quietly voting Democratic for years.

I hope Trump loses by 20 points.
