i mean, at some point if you are a fan of Cleveland sports people just pity you instead of being upset by anything you say.

Just as a side note, Christie is a legitimately huge Cowboys fan. Loves them and Jerry. Yes, he's one of those piece of shit NJ Cowboys fans. You have two legitimate teams in that same division right around your home state that you could root for, and you choose the fucking Cowboys.

Fuck Chris Christie

At least it's not the Eagles, am I right!?

Any team better than Cleveland is trash...which pretty much leaves us with no NFL teams that are worthy of respect.

Positively awful.. 1-15 . Pls

That Jerry Brown endorsement is great timing (not that it'll move the needle for Clinton at all). Good to know one of the GOAT governors from the GOAT states knows one of the GOAT political candidates of our time.

Also, lol just lol at the Cavs. Golden State are the GOAT from the GOAT state.

Highspeed railway going up and down the coast?
Please, no one needs that.

What I need is my high speed railway to Vegas, thanks.

Seriously fam, how much time does Sanders have to get on the ballot as an independent? I know the deadline is most states to be affiliated with a party passed in most cases back in March I believe, but if you're purely independent don't you have more time?

His campaign has this weird pattern of one second acting like they'd never go third party, then immediately start acting irrational and crazy again, then dance around the question, then someone like Weaver will claim they wouldn't do it, then they up the ante again and threaten to stop the convention dead in its tracks because it consists of a couple important people in high ranking positions who hurt Bernie's feelings... It's an endless cycle of inconsistency and bullshit.

The bottom line is they've been all over the map in terms of their messaging. I don't trust them at all.

Thing is though, by that point everyone who isn't also crazy will see it for what it is. He'll be a child throwing a tantrum in a padded cell, basically. Where the only person he's liable to hurt will be himself.

It will be over in the eyes of everyone but the bat shit crazy.

He doesn't have the resources to organize a third party run. It requires thousands of signatures per state, and running a third party run with barely any money at all is close to impossible.

It varies state by state and requires a lot of paperwork and infrastructure in addition to just the signatures. Not to mention money (the same money he's using instead on California).

I don't think he'll do it. The deadline in Texas has passed, but he couldn't have got on that ballot anyway. The deadlines roll from this week all thw ay through the end of August/September, I believe.

To the point you'd vote for Romney over her?

I am curious what people's theoretical line in the sand is for generic republican verses crazy democrat.
Click to expand...

Depends on the republican, depends on how the democrats crazy. A Trump on the republican side raises the bar significantly, so that even things that would otherwise be deal breakers will probably get a pass in the interest of not opening the seventh seal. In the dark timeline where it's Jill Stein vs Trump Jill will have my vote. Vs a Romney I would likely abstain from voting, vs an Eisenhower I'd be voting Ike.

Hypothetically yes, but my current situation involves me paying about 75% of my income for rent and utilities. As I've yet to perfect photosynthesis what little remains of my income is, by necessity, devoted to my car and food if anything's left over.

If he was going independent, he passed a number of state deadlines fucking AGES ago.
I recall Bloomberg saying if he couldn't make it happen by the end of March, there was no point in trying.

Trump seems maaaaaad about this veteran's fundraising thing.

Vet the recipients? Yes, because there aren't any established charities around or anything...

Edit: He knows he could just release the list to the media without reading them all off, right?

Literally every Trump speech sounds like that guy who didn't prepare for the class presentation even though it was a simple report.

Honestly the Bay Area is where I'd imagine the bulk of his support is coming from.
He's held rallies out in Southern California recently, but most of it is youth turning out.
We'll see how that goes when it comes time for them to hit the polls.

Man what a weekend. A predominantly white crowd at a Bernie rally in Oakland starts singing We Shall Overcome, Bernie fell asleep at a memorial day event, Trump goes to war with a Judge of latin heritage and Bill Kristol is trying to run a zombie Reagan for 3rd party.

Trump going in on the press right now. And the press seems pretty fed up. Calls ABC reporter a "sleaze" to his face. Doesn't answer "Is a question an attack?"

i loved that question, if only he would have opened with it instead of cowering behind saying these are just questions raised by the other side and not them. Trump should attack the media, they are weaker than Jeb.

Did you guys read about Hillary's plan to disrupt Trump's veteran speech?

First on CNN: Clinton campaign's plans to subvert Trump's veterans press conference
New York (CNN) Hillary Clinton's campaign on Tuesday will launch a multi-pronged communications effort to trash Donald Trump's record on veterans' issues and undermine the billionaire's news conference touting the money he's raised for veterans' causes in recent months.

The campaign will host a national press call, release statements and unleash surrogates in key battleground states armed with talking points and opposition research to highlight Trump's past disparaging remarks about veterans, his Veterans Administration reform plans, and his months-long refusal to fully account for the funds he raised in January for veterans' charities, according to plans the Clinton campaign shared with CNN.

The plan is the Clinton campaign's most targeted effort yet to disrupt a Trump-organized event that the billionaire hopes will earn him hours of free -- and largely positive -- media time. And it comes on the heels of the Clinton camp's week-long effort last week to knock Trump off-message and discredit the presumptive Republican nominee by hammering him over a series of comments he made about the 2008 financial crisis.
