Thank you. Putting a D on the KKK is disingenuous AF. How can anyone with a straight face say the KKK aligns ideologically with the current democratic party.

I'm sure that guy on CNN Was a complete moron (I didn't hear him on TV), but historically, the Democratic party was the party of the KKK, the Confederacy, and slavery.

The history bares no resemblance to today where Republicans are generally more likely to have xenophobic, racist feelings, but, historically that's true.
 
how was trumps victory speech?

Hilarious. He had Chris Christie behind him looking like he regretted everything.

Other than that the usual "I love china, but I really hate china. I love Mexico, but I really hate mexico. But we'll be winning." etc. speech.

Cruz has always been a shit trying to pinall of America's sin on the left

The guy who said that was a Trump supporter.

Though what you said about Cruz is accurate.
 
The state that has a large minority population, when his best showing among AA has been 77/22 and losing Latinos nearly 2 to 1? A state that Hillary Clinton managed to carry in 2008 after the nomination was essentially over?

The issue is not how many states Bernie wins. If Bernie had lost every single state by 5% tonight he would have been in better shape than winning all 5 he targeted by the margins he did. Everything is proportional. There are no big states on the map where Bernie can hope to out pace Hillary. Even in Califnorai, if Bernie beat her by 20 points he would only net enough delegates to cut her current lead by 200 when she's up nearly 660 (pledged and super).

For Bernie to have a chance at a tie, he needed 469 delegates this evening. Without CO and MN allocated, he's currently at 145, although nothing from Mass, Co or MN have been awarded.

You have earned your steak sub this day

the FUCKING REPLIES TO THAT TWEET

All I'm saying is there's still a race.

Nope, a race requires there to be something the candidates can do to win. Right now it requires something external to happen, beyond the control of the candidates for Sanders to win.

Anything else is being in denial.
 
This line of thinking is ridiculous. The only reason you're under the misunderstanding that TRump is "the most sane," is because he hasn't outlined any policy ever, and the things that he says are not only patently insane for a president of the United States, but they are blatantly unconstitutional.

You can't ban specific religions from entering the country
You can't force Apple to make the iPhone in the United States
You can't force a foreign country to pay for a domestic policy

You think Trump is "the most sane" because he hasn't outlined any policy and nobody is forcing him to. But if his quotes are any indication of his policy (Which at this point they may not be because he contradicts himself almost every day), his policy is blatantly insane and unconstitutional for a President.

When Trump says "President" he thinks "King," but they're not the same thing.

I agree with everything you have posted. But that doesn't make Cruz or Rubio look any better. Trump being vague is actually helping him right now compared to those two.
 
Seeing as how leftist GAF is, I am surprised Bernie is not the most popular candidate. Or is income equality not an issue worth taking seriously?

Do you think people are voting for Hillary over Bernie because they don't think income inequality is a big deal?
 
Don't be coy. Explain the difference as it pertains to his comparison. I don't mind being educated.

I’ve seen some self-described white Sanders voters express anger on social media, saying that black people are voting against their interests. But one of the roles the president plays is interacting with Congress and pushing (or aiming to block) the passage of legislation. And black and white voters have very different experiences with government when it comes to supporting legislation. This University of Chicago study shows how, all other factors aside, black support for legislation means it’s less likely to be passed.If white voters support a bill, it’s much more likely to be passed and adopted. But if black voters support legislation, it’s actually less likely to pass. That argues that black voters may have a tactical interest in an establishment candidate they think can work behind the scenes in their interest, and there’s a perception that Clinton may be better at insider politics.
 
Bernie is doing better than the polls suggested...

but he's doing worse than he needs to be doing if he wants to stand a chance at being the candidate.

But Bernie actually did worse than the polls projected? I mean, for the Dem primaries, it's all about proportionality (how much you win). He's doing worse than expected in most states, and as a result has led to Hillary's gap in delegates being much higher than what was suggested.

Isn't he doing much worse than polling suggested in the south? I know he did much worse than expected here in Virginia
 
The narrative was that she would run the table. She hasn't run the table. We're back in the game!

The narrative was that she would rack up huge delegate leads in the south, making it difficult to see a path to the nomination. She's done better than was expected.

I was responding to someone talking about Hillary being expected to run the states as polls suggested.

I know it's delegates that count.

Rubio also lying through his teeth about Trump's positions.
 
So is Hillary set for Democrats and Drumphf for Republicans?

Hillary, most likely, barring something like a video of her killing someone coming out.

The Republican side is still fairly wide open, with a contested convention looking increasingly likely. We could have as many as 4 guys winning states tonight on that side.

If by "historically" you mean before 1964, sure, but there has been a lot of history over the last 52 years.
