The increase in criticism of the two-party system is laughable right now. Just because your candidate isn't the nom, it means the system needs to be destroyed and rebuilt?

Yet if Sanders was nom, I am sure these same folks would be up in arms if a third party candidate started cutting into his lead.

In my opinion, there's only 6-8 minutes of hard-hitting investigative journalism on TV, and it's the Keeping Them Honest segment on Anderson Cooper 360 with Drew Griffith snooping around. They're the ones who exposed the wait times at VA among many other things including Trump's fundraiser for a charlatan veteran's group.

Now is a good time to count the superdelegates though. Once the vast majority of pledged are allotted. It is misleading to use them before people vote though. And it's misleading (Like Morning "Democrat" Joe did) to talk about them as part of a state's delegate count. That's perhaps the worst offense.

Ari Fleischer, who was a spokesman for President George W. Bush and who now sits on the board of the Republican Jewish Coalition, announced on Twitter that he preferred Trump to likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

The anti-Semitic attacks on Ioffe won’t stop Fleischer from supporting Trump, he told HuffPost.

“The fact that the Black Panthers came out for Barack Obama doesn’t make Barack Obama a Black Panther sympathizer,” Fleischer, who noted that Trump was his “17th choice” as the Republican candidate, told HuffPost. “You cannot ascribe to a candidate the views of the worst radical fringes that may support them. ... These arguments about how Donald Trump shouldn’t be supported because fringe radical groups have said good things about him — I reject entirely.

“I’m sure you’ll find Communists and socialists supporting Clinton,” Fleischer said.

Well, the Black Panthers wanted to see a black man become president. White Nationalists want to see a White Nationalist become president... You know, I don't think this logic helps Trump honestly.

But who would that be aimed at? People who are voting for Trump are already aware of all these things and support it. Heck, even Fox and conservative radio - their own team - went after him and here we are today.

People said the same thing of Todd Akin.

But a lot of people got shamed into not voting for him, even in their private voting booth.

Trump will always have some 35% that will vote for him no matter what happens.

It's the other 10-15% I care about.

Almost all of Trump's NeoNazi fans on Twitter are real humans:

Twitter would not say whether there has been an increase in anti-Semitic behavior on its platform, or whether the harassment is coming from real Twitter users. But HuffPost ran 53 pro-Trump neo-Nazi accounts through “Bot or Not,” an algorithm that analyzes Twitter users’ tweets, followers and metadata and produces a score indicating how likely it is the account is a bot. The lower the score, the more likely the account is to be operated by a real person. Of the 53 accounts, 47 received a score below 40 percent — the threshold that Filippo Menczer, who worked on the Bot or Not tool, said is a fairly good indicator that an account is controlled by a real person. The average score of the 53 troll accounts was 30 percent — slightly higher than my own score of 22 percent.

Agreed. Now is the time to start counting them.

The sooner we get away from this "She doesn't have the 2383 with pledged delegate" nonsense, the sooner we can move on.

The problem I have is people who act as though the only reason we have a two-party system is because people are brainwashed sheep, when in fact it's the result of people acting rationally given the structure of the US political system.

A reminder to everyone that didn't believe me when I said that there were many areas of overlap between Bernie and Trump supporters with respect to isolationism and anti-globalism. Called me nuts. And yet...

On another note: Hillary supporters! I asked this before, but it's time to ask this again. What is the single most important issue for you this election cycle? You may be somewhat broad.

supreme court without a doubt.

Supreme Court is definitely the most important issue of this cycle (assumign democrats don't take both houses of congress). We are one Republican presidency from undermining gay rights, abortion rights, campaign finance, and voting rights for a generation. Our failing infrastructure and clean energy (which are somewhat tied together) are a close second.

It's wild to watch them fall in line in real time though. They really REALLY do. Other message boards I frequent is showing a similar trend with conservatives that loathed Trump now suddenly softening to him AND his rhetoric that they found over the top beforehand.

We survived Nixon to Bush 41 packing the court. We can survive this one if Trump were to somehow win..........I hope.
