Cruz's numbers among non evangelical republicans are terrible. Now imagine him in a general election. Yikes.

Democrats are the party of the young
Christie actually talked about closing down NJ prisons and turning them into rehabs during one of the debates.

Chuckling at the thread title change.
Part of me wishes we had the power to just watch an alternate timeline play out. I'm visualizing him melting down during a debate with Hillary, just fucking FUMING within 5 minutes. What he did to Rubio in FL was such a dick move lmao.

Didn't Bill Clinton also have negative favorables before he won the election?Another interesting stat:
And according to my conservative coworkers while doing nothing simultaneously set race relations back decades with his racial provocations. Imagine if he had actually done something!

Good to know that this collusion hasn't derailed Kasich's cross-country food tour.
What's with the baby doll?
I believe he did.
Oh, that's right. Well that's some good news for the day!

That's right, she was just pandering to voters when she went undercover as a racist mother to expose segregated public schools in the South. She was just pandering when she met all those black kids while working with the Children's Defense Fund. She was just pandering when she switched political parties, permanently, from Republican to Democrat, over civil rights. Doesn't care about blacks, never has.
I think that is a massively unfair judgment.
The department of justice officially investigated police departments in major cities around the country. What prior administration has ever done this since Johnson, if even Johnson went as far (I don't think he did but I don't know).
The Obama administration reduced sentencing disparities between crack cocaine and powder cocaine.
The Obama administration started My Brother's Keeper. Since there's no way of getting any funding from Congress, that's a fairly big deal.
The Obama administration has threatened to cut federal funding from schools that keep suspending black kids, because it's racist.
The Obama administration passed the affordable care act. When huge swaths of the black population are struggling, this helps them.
RE policing: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/just...ty-cleveland-reform-cleveland-division-police
Maybe Democrats slip up, too. But do you think that DOJ investigation would have happened under W? Bush doesn't care about black people.
RE funding: then vote out that bastard John Kasich for destroying your state.

Hmm, Goldwater was anti-Medicare, anti-Civil Rights, and pro-nuclear war, but he also was strongly against the theocracy stuff that defines Cruz. Goldwater called the religious right crazies and Goldwater was pro-choice.
Coolidge ran on a platform of doing nothing except from stopping the Chinese from entering the nation so that seems pretty classic Republican.
Grover Cleveland refused to let go of the Gold Standard even while the nation fell into a horrible recession but Cruz would certainly do that as well.

Yeah, but that same poll shows that Sec. Clinton's supporters are very enthusiastic about her (60%), so really she's got pretty firm support even with the underwater favorables that Bernie's dumb ass is trying to drive even further under water.
EDIT: Wow, looks like the Dems are going to get Sestak out in this primary.

Yeah, but don't get too excited lol. I'm sure this will become an 'issue' as soon as she tries to actually do something. I don't even know how you can override all of the state laws as president. Offer incentives for rehabilitation?
Um, is this among Black voters?
He came into the diner, just sat down next to some 4 year old having breakfast with her dad, chatted about the doll's name, bragged about his 325 leg press (lol), told the girl to smile for the cameras, said he'd teach her how to eat healthier when she was eating bacon, and then left for the next table.

Nothing shocks me after the 96-3 among older AAs in SC.
That one is going to hurt.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Another interesting stat:
Cruz will go much lower once a general election starts.

The race has already been won, right down the presidential election. That means we can stop getting excited for Clinton victories and start talking about issues again.
He set race relations back by being black and winning. All it took.

Seriously. Why do people post links behind spoiler bars? It doesn't even hide the link when you're on the desktop. It's still clearly readable. It's only hidden when you're on mobile. Mobile! You know, the version of the site where you have to tap spoiler bars to see what's behind them. The version of the site people are frequently reading when they're data limited and therefore don't want to open random YouTube videos. C'mon, people!

Sorry, that wasn't directed at you. It's just happened a bunch of times and I'm ranting apropos of nothing.
it's not that he hasn't done things for minority constituents it's that it literally couldn't be a priority of his administration, in any visible manner. Like I said before the pushback he got for doing just a little was immense. You'll never see a white president get questioned for nominally advancing policies that benefit white people generally.
Bernie Sanders has the privilege to have a black rapper named Killer Mike be a campaign surrogate. Obama got criticized when black performers sang at his inauguration.

Agreed with all of this. Obama got shit for inviting Common to the White House. Can you imagine the story if he invited Killer Mike?

Jim Webb is an extinct blue dog. Hardly a Democrat.

I don't disagree, I'm just talking public perception.
The fact that Obama doesn't brag much about his accomplishments is a bit of a double-sided coin.

The GI bill for Iraq War veterans gave my father the opportunity to finally pursue a college degree and helped my family more than I could ever express, so if anyone wants to say Jim Webb is not a Democrat then they have personally offended me and they can shove it.

He isn't one today. The party has shifted and he didn't shift with it. Saying he doesn't fit in the Democratic Party of today is something he's even said.
It doesn't discount his achievements or good pieces of legislation.

His pro choice, pro stem cell research, pro background checks for guns etc, would be automatic non starters as a republican if we're being honest.

Chicago is a completely democratic controlled city as well and we have just published a scathing Police Accountability report that shows the blatant racism of the CPD. This comes after rahm and anita, both democrats, hid the video of the blatant killing of laquan mcdonald by the cpd. New York got a lot of press about stop and frisk, but chicago was worse, 72% of stops were african americans.
Rahm has recently closed 50 public schools in only black and brown areas, leaving the majority white public schools untouched, to make way for private charter schools. The black unemployment rate is above 20%. CSU, a majority black public college is in danger of closing due to the budget. Chicago is one of the most segregated cities in the US. Some democrats even campaigned for the republican nominee for mayor when Harold Washington won the democratic primary in the 80's, just because he was black, coming up with buttons that just had a watermelon with a slash through it. Even more from that election
It's hard to imagine it could be worse
