2016 USA Presidential election thread I: The warm-up

[Eurell]

People are quick to forget Obama was losing to Hillary by 20 points the day of the Iowa primary.

They would be if it wasn't brought up 3 times on every single fucking page lol.

[Galkaeater]

shut up and have your fucking election already

Can't wait till the election happens so these circular arguments stop happening...

[Tyche]

Do you really think we're going to have a low voter turnout this primary season? With the shitshow that is the GOP primary and the burnie hysteria going around? This is going to beat 2008 numbers and those were near record breaking. People are quick to forget Obama was losing to Hillary by 20 points the day of the Iowa primary.

And Obama still lost the primary election. Bernie doesn't have the support Obama had.

I'm a Bernie supporter, contributed moneys to his campaign. Bernie Sanders will not win the nomination, unfortunately. Quit this bullshit comparison of Obama/Hilary 08 Numbers. Bernie is not Obama. I realize where you're coming from with that idealism, but its a complete illusion.

Truth or there would be no republicans left.

Didn't he specifically say he didn't think it was aliens?

Honestly, it's more damning to me that he was saying batshit insane things in 1999, because that tells me he actually believes those things and isn't just pandering to the extreme GOP voters.

Ben Carson: Egyptian pyramids were grain stores, not pharaohs' tombs

[Zetanio]

I think Ben Carson is actually retarded and in a shocking amount of surprise, no one in the Republican Party noticed.

[Olo401]

Yeah he did, but the whole thing was so stupid that the meme fits. Honestly who the hell gives a shit about the pyramids or his silly christian offshoot beliefs can we talk about something of substance that is relevant to our country TODAY?!

Not retarded, but he seems kinda narcoleptic to me. Or at least kinda drugged out on muscle relaxants at all times like some kinda uncool Sniper Wolf.

No, he's actually retarded.

Aliens bro. Aliens.

Exactly.

I really need to stop doing political discussions on facebook. I'm now a sexist person cause I said Fiorina is batshit insane based on her comments about planned parenthood and her horrible state senate run several years ago.

[Tyrath]

You obviously hate her because she has a vagina and not because she is batshit insane.

I live in Kentucky, where we just voted in our second republican governor in 40 years, a batshit insane tea partier who previously lost to Mitch McConnell for the senate seat because he argued McConnell was too liberal. I've been lively on the book of faces.
