I certainly wouldn't mind him as president. I am still surprised that Romney trounced him. Romney's shit.
It's done, and it is literally borderline delusion to suggest otherwise. You either profoundly misunderstand how to process works, do not grasp what is going to occur at the convention with Hillary having the delegates she does, or are allowing fanciful dreams to pervert your view of reality.
The only debate going to occur at the Convention is how prominent a role they should even give Bernie, considering what an asshole he has made of himself at the end. He could have had a nice graceful speaking role, set some talking points and maybe even tailored the themes of the convention a bit. Now? He better be glad he's even allowed to speak.

I find it hilarious that Oklahoma now has to set up an Obamacare/Medicaid expansion system to save their disastrous health systems. These conservative groups will NEVER learn. Even with the many hospitals and nursing homes saying they'd have to shut down without the expansion, the Kochs et al are still campaigning against it.

Morning Joe is really obsessed with the NYTimes article on Trump.
Augh... Honestly?
Got a Hillary fundraiser email this morning
I like all of it except the religion angle, but that is part of Hillary. Wonder when society will be OK (as in over 50% in polls say they're fine with it) with an openly non-religious president
lmao, even for you this is amazing

Thanks everyone for being awesome. Massive group hug. 😀
Adam mentioned it yonks ago, but the "god given potential" line is one she has used quite a bit and seems to have tested well with certain demographics. Its definitely the most visible religious aspect to her campaign it seems.
Yeah I totally get it, a lot of demographics want the president to be religious and she is so it's a good angle for her.
I was a bit off on my "expectations" for acceptance of a non-religious candidate though, it's already around 58, so I guess 90% is the "electable" range. Mittens got a decent bit of grief for "magic underwear" and stuff, so I'm sure there'd be some attempts to make the candidate look foolish in some way regarding lack of religion

It's been clear for awhile they don't care about policy so they'll never learn. I'm not convinced they even care about state based solutions given how half baked the proposals tend to be. They don't work and the end result is almost always the same: the poor are left out, the middle class blames the federal government, and the rich go on as normal.

Given Lee Atwater's quotes on the matter, one really had to be willfully ignorant to deny it.
Sorry
But can you flap the unflappable?

Good luck Donald, but please don't go overboard; the truth should be enough, no reason to get Slick Willie's sexy funtimes into this. You can do this without having to sink to that level.

The emails is the big one and still current on people's minds though.

So the John Miller/fake PR person has already been buried.
I believe someone once said something to the effects of, "People are tired of hearing about your damn emails."

I can't wait to see Trump go on for 2+ hours about Hillary's Cattle Futures and not talk a thing about policy.

He is going to look like an utter and complete asshole.
Yup. If an entire committee couldn't get her to flinch over 11 hours then good luck to Trump, he'll need it.

Especially since we've already learned not only is that a Hillary strength, it's a Trump flaw - overtime he simply gets more and more bored with the whole thing and doesn't have much of an attention span. He's riding high now because of the presumptive nomination, but as we get closer and closer to the GE it'll be interesting to see if he follows the same trajectory he did during the primaries (less rallies, not giving a fuck about the debates, etc.)
Any moderator can discredit his attacks by bringing up his own personal and moral failings, especially if we're going to talk about bad business deals, mismanagement of money, infidelities, and personal "character." This isn't the strategy that's going to either gain him new followers, get him more big money backers, or prevent Democrats from turning out.
We'll see how long it lasts.

You know what happened after all the brouhaha in Nevada? Clinton got the number delegates she was supposed to have in the first place. They can cry and scream and yell and boo and shoutdown and block cameras but in the end Clinton has been democratically chosen and no amount of whining is going to change that.

Looks like he won't have much on her. The Democrats have far, far more stuff on Trump than he has on her. He'll probably drive her negatives up a bit, but most people that already don't like her wouldn't vote for her anyway. I only see this working for some Republicans, some independents, and some hardcore leftist people . Most of the issues has been done to death already like Benjamin Ghazi and emailgate . Once the all clear is from the FBI on the emails Trump won't have much to stand on.

If all Trump has is the same useless talking points Reddit Bernie users have been screaming for months with no effect, mixed with a healthy dose of overt sexism is his plan of attack, he's not going to go anywhere.
Trump fans were giddy at the idea of Trump getting fired up and crushing Hillary in scandal, but Hillary has been so vetted and so many scandals have gone nowhere... that he can't really come up with anything that hasn't been beaten to death and discredited ages ago.
In a way, Hillary is probably the perfect candidate to handle Trump. In having so many scandals, she's actually immune to scandals.

Have you been paying attention to his campaign so far? He doesn't have to sink to that level but he loves doing it anyway.

Thanks again everyone. I don't want to totally derail the thread by quoting and responding to everyone but it means a lot to me. <3
I also hate that god given potential line with the fire of a hundred burning suns. I cringe everytime. But it totally plays well with my mom and a few other mostly older people I know.

The Trey Growdy 10 and under playhouse couldn't do anything. Years of Republicans whittling away at her credibility have hardly worked. She's still in this after 3 decades of negative attacks. And yet...
I would laugh my ass off if Donald Trump managed to dethrone her.
I just got owned by a guy who thinks the pyramids store grain.

Who would have ever though Hillary would be the most religious candidate left? Interesting times we live in.

Is she really that religious?
It doesn't really come across in her policies at all.

Also I'm revising my earlier pledge to donate $50 to Gafs candidate of choice if Queen wins Oregon. $50 of she's within 10 and $100 of she wins outright. Let's end this thing.
I'll going to make some calls after work. I've had enough of the Bernie campaign.

Isn't that a good thing? Policy should not be religious or tailored to those who are.

If there's a candidate who would make a worse President than Trump it's Ben Carson. The only one that immediately comes to mind as on a similar level of shitastically awful is Herman Cain.
Clinton has a prayer group. And sent parables or whatever in her super secret emails.
Also I didn't notice before but is Trump's twitter photo just really old or airbrushed to oblivion.
