Soooo let's say nightmare darkest-timeline scenario and Trump squeaks out an electoral victory on election night. By, like, two votes.

...How do we all feel about faithless electors?

My gut says we should get a free one in return for 2000

but if he wins he wins. I really don't want to see it come to that. The votes have to be respected. I think the precedent will be worse than the short term or even long term effect.

You guys are tough. I think it is a believable idea, which I tried to back up, but it wasn't enough; I suppose this is not the place to speculate, to come to conclusions based on sound reasoning, and that was my mistake. So I will leave, tail tucked between my legs, never to return.

Your reasoning is shaky as hell and its been clearly pointed out as to why. You are doing nothing more than seeing what you want to see. If you are looking for people to just confirm your existing beliefs and make you feel good there are places for that (try reddit).

I think that'd be potentially as bad for the country as a Trump presidency... luckily, we'll never have to know.

I'd rather let him get sworn in then have a "massive heart attack" if he got too out of line. At least we'd still have some kind of system of government afterward, even if the conspiracy theorists would be right for once.

I don't think even Trump would literally promise a nuclear war with China. And if he did, I don't think it's a realistic scenario where he would ever win. But I do think a narrow Trump victory is "realistic" (however unlikely).

Pigeon is probably right in that nothing really happens in a vacuum, and we'd kinda sorta maybe have to start the country over. In theory, it's arguable that anything that doesn't hand the levers of power over to Trump is preferable.. but it wouldn't just go to Hillary with a bunch of grumbling. We would probably be leaderless and rudderless and vulnerable and chaotic for months at the very least.

Oh, no. How terrible. I'm so sorry for them.

This RNC rules lady on All In is arguing that bound delegates are unconstitutional?

This argument from the lady on All In is just insane. She pretends she has constituents because she's a delegate...and that she doesn't have to vote anyway but how she wants to.....Her argument is that she's going to get a clause in the rules committee that says you can vote your conscience for moral or religious reasons. And, also, we don't live in a democracy, because the founding fathers...and the will of the people is irrespective of how she should have to vote.

She's basically trying to turn herself into a super delegate.

Let them blame ISIS. I'll turn it around on their ass and then ask "Should ISIS supporters who are US citizens be allowed to buy a gun?"

Make them either answer it or look like a wuss avoiding it. Eventually, some idiot GOPer will fuck up and say "yes."



Whatever gun it was, doesn't matter.
Click to expand...
They see gun rights as human rights. They'll turn around and ask "should ISIS supporters be allowed healthcare?" It's a rabbit hole you dont want to go deep into!

Now this GOP operative on MSNBC is arguing that the Republican party is entirely stupid, and they can do what they want anyway because reasons.

Then the crazy Carly Fiorina manager lady says if McCain had won in 2008, the Democratic Party would have had chosen Trump as our nominee. Joy was having NONE of that.

Joy dragging Bernie because of how great Warren was today. Yassss.

Fernand Amandi is HOT. Jesus...

That woman is a moron, and I don't use the term lightly. The other night, she was on Lawrence O'Donnell and she was arguing that Republicans shouldn't have to budge on gun rights because Democrats refuse to budge on abortion. Lawrence shut her down similar to the way Joy did tonight. She always tries to throw a grenade right at the end of a segment. I have no idea why they keep giving people like that a platform.

Noah fence but soccer really sucks. It's always 0-0, so exciting! And whenever a player gets touched by someone on the other team, they freak out and bring out the exaggerated theatrics and act like they just broke their leg.

Vox's The Weeds had a good discussion of Hillary with regard to expectations of female politicians the other day. David Axelrod's is interesting and has good guests.

]In the United States, the maternal death rate averaged 9.1 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births during the years 1979–1986,[19] but then rose rapidly to 14 per 100,000 in 2000 and 17.8 per 100,000 in 2009.[20] In 2013 the rate was 18.5 deaths per 100,000 live births, with some 800 maternal deaths reported.[21]

Yeah, the US, but our country seems to be getting a lot worse at this for some reason?

You are so, so wrong. Your wrongness has wrong all over it. You couldn't be more wrong if your name was Wrongy McWrongson the Third.

Someone ban this heathen.

Just saw my first Hilary ad in Colorado. Shockingly it wasn't a Trump attack ad.

Not a dig against Hilary, just not used to seeing any ads in this state that aren't just about bashing the other guy.

As a bi-man I say split down the middle or pay for our own portion. Personally think it should be that way for every date unless one is super rich or poor.

If it's early days, I always offer to go dutch treat. If it's a longer term thing, then we can take turns or whatever. Or, if not, then the person who asks. Typically, like if he pays for dinner, I'll pay for a movie or drinks or something.

My ex was total alpha male, he had to pay for everything, he was a provider, bullshit.

But, ya, the politics of gay dating can be complicated...

Yasssss. I'm drunkish too. We should play sometime. My NNID is on my Gaf profile. :D
