2016 USA Presidential election thread I: The warm-up

[Sho]

That's actually pretty hilarious, but the Clinton camp knew Sanders had that in his pocket since.

---

Chris Christie is for sure going to announce his end for the Presidential bid this coming morning or early afternoon. Crazy shit that he put it all on NH (since he staked his bid) & destroyed Rubio's credibility, to only get 6th there. Carson will go to SC and likely quit right after deal making with Cruz. Fiorina is gonna flail in the water to SC and dead herself as well.

[Fitch.]

Was glad to see the turnout I did at the polls. Waited for like 1.5 hours just to register in the town I just moved to. Glad Bernie pulled ahead as much as he did. Considering how bad the roads were in southern NH, still had an awesome polling day.

[Not Kuno]

Hillary wishes Bill would spank her as hard as she got spanked in NH by Bernie.

[Bregor]

DAT KASICH LAUGH DOE.

Seems pretty tame to me. Everyone wants that Dean Scream moment I guess.

[notorious bum]

The only demographics Hillary won in exit polls are ppl making more than $200k a year & ppl age *65 and older http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2...crat-poll.html

[Ragnus]

And to think. Hillary spent just under $1900 on coffee colored, burnt water and mediocre donuts for that result.

It'll be interesting to see if this becomes an underdog story or just hype built up by Jim Ross.

Funny story - the "Dean Scream" was manufactured by his opponents to embarrass him. In the unedited clip - with the sound around him not toned down so it's just his voice - you can barely hear the scream because the crowd is going nuts around him.

Byaaaaaaaaaah

[Zealot]

you guys trump will either be an amazing president or the worst ever. I'm willing to roll the dice on it if it means a Dem President and Congress for 2020. LETS DO IT

Help me become governor of Maryland in 2018 and I will run for the White House in 2020.

[tyven]

I am more than happy to help you become the Governor of Maryland but wow that seems like a quick turnaround!

[tyven]

I have dibs on your super delegate votes tho

[Gryffes]

Just remember this is a real tweet:

I can't remember if I posted Michelle Alexander's Facebook post on how black voters would never vote for Hillary if they understood just how much destruction the Clinton fam has brought to black families, but she just did a piece that expands on that for The Nation.

Hasn't someone compiled a running list of Zealot's campaign promises to date so far?

[kuronosan]

So far as I know his major platform has been health care and economic reform.

[Gredival]

He's going to defend America by supporting the military industrial complex. He loves machines of war as long as they are made in VT.

In 1985 when protesters showed up at General Electric plant in Burlington that manufactured gatling guns to fight socialists in Central America, Mayor Sanders sided with GE and called the police to forcibly remove them, saying GE was providing good jobs for Burlington. In his 2012 Senate reelection campaign, his Republican opponent opposed the F-35 stealth fighter, which will have a lifetime cost of over $1 trillion, is billions over budget, has a gun that won't even work until 2019, and lost a battle with the 40-year-old F16. But Sanders supported the F-35 on the ground that it will provide jobs. Residents of Burlingtonm tried to sue to keep the F-35s out of the Burlington airport over Sanders' wishes.

Also criminal justice and homelessness.
