No I'm 100% French but I live in Canada (moved here a few years ago)

And what about you ? Aren't you German ?

Spoiler

Hehe admit it. As Europeans, American politics are our favorite reality TV show. it's just too good of a shitshow

Yep I am. And yes you are totally right, this is better than any of German reality tv has produced since its invention.

God I hope the prediction that Texas will ultimately end up blue in some years due to their increasing Hispanic population comes true. This year should help a bit.

 

[echoshifting]

Oh Texas, you're going to be proud in 15-20 years or so when that hard lock GOP isn't so hard locked anymore.

Try 4-8. That state is shifting fast.

Texas really produces some disgusting politicians.

 

[GusBus]

Watching this has made me imagine what Germany went through in the thirties. Rough economy, rise of a charismatic fascist leader, seizure of a political party, the rallies, etc.
Obviously it's not a direct parallel, but I still feel the same energies are present. (And I know I'm not the first to make this comparison.) It's eerie.

 

[redlegs87]

I just came in to the show what exactly is going on right now?

 

[Angelus Errare]

So? It isn't coming back. There are rednecks in every state, in every region.

I mean you can be upset all you want but facts are facts b. First state to secede.

 

[Zeke]

Fuck you Dan Patrick you slimely sack of shit.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Wait

Did the Virgin Islands guy just call himself/themselves 2nd class citizens

and he seemed happy about it?

 

[GaimeGuy]

SILENCE for emancipation

 

[Envelope]

tbh my mental image of Hamilton now is as a black person

 

[DiscoShark]

Those shots from the Virgin Islands, jesus christ.

 

[Furyous]

Love or hate her its time to rally around Hillary. We can't allow this clown to run America.

I would not go so far as to refer to the Republican nominee as a clown but I detect no lies in your statement. I don't want to vote for Hilary and Trump refuses to buy my vote. Hilary gets my vote due to the absent legit candidate on the Republican side.

How far will this set back the Republican party?

It won't set them back at all. They target the majority not the other sides. All they need to do is alter their message by saying one thing and doing the other. If Trump loses then use the same tactics they used with Obama: obstruct by saying no to everything then blame the lack of action on the Democrats. <--- Do this until the next election cycle and everything will work out.

IF Trump loses, because he can still win the Presidency as of today of course, the adults are going to reign in the conservatives. A deep cleansing needs to happen. I'm talking about one of those deep cleanings that happens when people don't clean their house for two weeks. Everything gets scrubbed. By everything I mean all the alt right fuckery, tea party supporters, racists, and agenda driven religious people. No more war on women. No more attacking gay people with BS policies. Legislate with the same fervor that they defend "traditional marriage". Moving forward the American people need specifics. This assumes Trump is all talk and no policy with legit details.

One Virgin abstained

 

[DorkLord54]

lol the funny thing about that is when was the last respectable Republican president before Eisenhower? you'll be thinking about this for a while

Roosevelt, of course. Not that hard to think about. Harding and Coolidge were scum, and Hoover had a naive adherence to bootstraps that doomed him to hated for decades to come thanks to the Depression.

Also, love the silence at releasing slaves.

 

[LUFTRAUSER]

UTAH: REPUBLICAN TODAY, REPUBLICAN TOMORROW, REPUBLICAN FOREVER

I mean you can be upset all you want but facts are facts b. First state to secede.

I'm not upset about that. I'm upset that you seem to think Rebel-flag waving rednecks are what most Southerners are like.

 

[Captin Quacker]

Wait

Did the Virgin Islands guy just call himself/themselves 2nd class citizens

and he seemed happy about it?

WOOOOOOOO

 

[darkwing-buck]

Don't you dare mention Tim Duncan in the same vein as Donald Trump again. @USVIRGINISLANDS

 

[Prodigal Son]

Don't drag the Caribbean into your bullshit, asshole. Trump hate is strong there.

 

[RPGCrazied]

What? 40 Trump for Utah?

That isn't right.

 

[Supast4r]

lol the funny thing about that is when was the last respectable Republican president before Eisenhower? you'll be thinking about this for a while

Ted Roosevelt?

 

[Xe4]

C'mom Utah!
Edit: yah Utah! Fuck off RNC

 

[Angelus Errare]

How far will this set back the Republican party?

It won't, they'll double down again next election. Might get rid of the dogwhistles altogether and bring back "spics, niggers, chinks, and gooks" as buzzwords.

 

[Hubbl3]

Johnald Jday Trump!

 

[Brian Griffin]

Jonald J Trump.

Anyone keep track of all his names?

 

[Rayis]

JONALD J TRUMP

 

[Joe Molotov]

Trump now, Trump tomorrow, Trump forever!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

That's not reassuring from Utah. They sound like they're scared to admit they don't like Trump at all.

 

[Kusagari]

Utah says fuck off Trump lol

 

[Chris R]

40 votes for Zodiac!

 

[Dr. Benton Quest]

Is that the protest outside? What's that noise?

 

[sangreal]

denied

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

I always liked that Jonald, such a good boy

 

[Veldin]

That's fucked up

 

[Kid Heart]

Oh Utah, your so weird, but at least tonight you delivered.

 

[diaspora]

"we vote cruz"

"40 votes trump"

wat

 

[Media]

Jonald Jay Trump

 

[RS4-]

So how does this shit work, Utah says fuck Trump, but he gets the delegates anyway?

edit - Happened with DC as well right?

 

[RPGCrazied]

What?

That doesn't make sense.

 

[Revolver]

.

That sign guy seems to be all over MSNBC. I've seen him a bunch of times today with that sign and Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life.

 

[sinxtanx]

...what just happened

 

[tearsintherain]

The Coolidge history hour begins

 

[Chris R]

What the fuck, fuck this rigged bullshit

 

[Grover Cleveland]

South Carolina has removed the Confederate flag from the grounds. They do not care about that any more. Don't stereotype the South please.

lol

You are absolutely kidding yourself if you think that SC suddenly just stopped caring about their state's role in the Civil War just because they realized that flying a Confederate flag in Columbia was politically incorrect about 75 years too late.

 

[Hubbl3]

Heyeyeyeye

 

[sangreal]

"we vote cruz"

"40 votes trump"

wat

If I understand the secretary is saying Cruz is not eligible in certain states because he dropped out so they're giving the votes to Trump. Or she is just saying fuck it and giving the votes to Trump anyway

 

[jerry113]

RIGGED

 

[massivekettle]

Eisenhower is a fucking hero, why would they even try to compare him to a failed businessman?

Trump failed businessman? Come on, I know he's not popular around here, but if anything his success as a businessman propelled him into becoming the nominee for the GOP, and perhaps 45th POTUS.

 

[Angelus Errare]

I'm not upset about that. I'm upset that you seem to think Rebel-flag waving rednecks are what most Southerners are like.

Weird because I'm pretty sure I said South Carolina and not the south, and pretty sure they were factually the first to secede, and were pretty proud of that fact, you know..."heritage".

I mean I used to live in Columbia not like I'm not speaking from experience. Hell I went/participated in the protesting to take that wack ass flag down lol.
