I loved her as a candidate, but choosing a vp before being nominated is bad juju

It was a good move on his part ahead of California. There won't be a nomination if he can grab enough delegates. Trump only has 953 right now with about 503 bound delegates left.

Dumb move as it will piss people off and give Trump more support.
I hope he gets enough delegates to win and then I can watch the Republican Party fade into the dustbin of history.
 
I don't get it.

You didn't click the link, did you. It leads to a HuffPo article, not some NSFW sight gag.

To take all the funny out of it, there's a female that first appeared on the Maury Povich show, and she bears more than just a striking resemblance to a certain Republican presidential candidate. She has been offered $10,000 to make a short porno movie

Crazy how I can listen to a variety of political talk radio shows yesterday morning with people talking about what Cruz would have to do to stall the delegates most people agreed that if he was to identify a running mate, it would help going into California. A few specifically named Carly as the best choice.

I'm curious if people felt the same way as you during the past contested conventions. Lincoln and Eisenhower both came from contested Republican conventions. I don't live my life in hyperbole so not quite thinking much will change. If Trump gets the nomination before the convention than I'll vote for him. If Cruz gets the nomination at the convention, I'll vote for him.
 
This is nothing considering 50% or more routinely opt out of an election.

It's closer to about 60%, but yeah. What the article really doesn't do a good job of trying to figure out is if that 24% is in addition to that 57-60%, or inclusive of it. In any case, voter apathy is an ongoing "problem" (?).
 
Would you blink if Hillary showed herself in a commercial titled "half-past MILF", opening the door to a Canyon house with no blinds or curtains on the windows to a delivery from the cleaners, a blue dress delivered by a Lewinsky with a dick (with a pump made in Thailand), followed by some spiky haired Japanese dude with a Gojira tat on his shaved scrote to gape them both, shouting "Fuckushima" (or maybe it's "Fuck you she-male"?) at every squirt..?
Two days ago, marked the 30 year anniversary of Chernobyil. Then after the Wall fell, a Walmart-wasteland of assholes have been queefing about values. Real world "Paprika" shit. Evidently, the world loves to watch, let's admit to ourselves porn makes the world go round.
 
This a blog, so take it with a grain of salt if you're interested but, I thought it was a fascinating summary of a 900 page book - also, incredibly entertaining. The book argues America was settled by four distinct groups from the UK that have had a disproportionate impact on our political development. An idea fraught with problems inherent to any social science but still interesting. This guy does an awesome job summarizing in my view.

Book Review: Albion’s Seed

My favorite quote of the whole thing was the borderer prayer "Lord, grant that I may always be right, for thou knowest I am hard to turn"

No President Clinton. No way Trump wins a general.

Damn, I just don't know. I fear/hate Hilary as much as my liberal friends (and Republican for that matter) Hate/Fear Trump. People are going to walk into that booth and for the first time in years (decades?) do some real soul searching before they pull that lever.

People who have always voted "the line" may be ready for something different- they may walk out if the booth claiming they voted for whomever, but actually checked a completely different box.

I'm not as ready as you to concede this to Hilary.

I think now Trump better come with substance. He needs to come with actual plans. He needs to do more than attack.
 
The voters who voted Obama in twice, are going to vote again this year. Who do you think they are going to vote for this time? I have no earthly idea.
