2016 USA Presidential election thread I: The warm-up

[zoobernut]

I think the democrats should run Sanders/Clinton. Hillary would make a fine VP.

[Cantih]

So what you are saying is that Trump has the potential to be the greatest Isolationist focused president ever?

No, an Isolationist would keep out of world politics.
Trump wouldn't stay out, even if you tried to make him, and in the process would likely cause the entire planet to declare war on us through his fuckups.

I could live with that, though not the reverse.
But if Hillary would settle for VP, I'd be surprised at that.

Nah. They wouldn't go to war with Trump. They might cut off economic ties, but no one wants Trump with war powers-- dude would launch nukes shouting, "You're fired!" then go back to lose some Tic-Tac-Toe, because nerts to not playing the game.

Yeah. Can you imagine dude at the deal making table, about to prose his stance to his fellow leaders? In the very instance he's rebuffed on his stance, he'd go on a bashing tirade of offending the leaders then their families. We like to believe that the social aspects of deal making is near irrelevant, but it means a lot, even in politics. Guy's ego is too large to be isolationist; a narcissist like Trump would want the spotlight on the world stage.

The asshole president the people want but not the one they need.

Never forget.

Lil' B was just on CNN just now and Brooke Baldwin asked if Clinton was cursed. I shit you not, lmao.

Hilary will not lose a primary contest outside of New England states with 95% white citizenries and though it is hard for the far left of this board to stomach the sooner one reconciles themselves to the concept of the (singular) Democratic presidential candidate Hilary Clinton (and probably President Clinton) the less jarring it will be to the senses

I've expected president Clinton from day 1. Doesn't mean I can't hope for Sanders.

Get out of here Hillary loving scum.

Fuck it. Bernie vs Trump. I'm all in. Better than the boring and obvious Bush vs Clinton.

I agree and they both have fantastic hair.

So you're saying you want a Republican President in 2016?

I was stating what I would like to see not what I think will happen.

[Andalusian girls]

it is amusing as besides Hilary herself Trump has the most power to ensure her presidency. the Republicans would be slight dogs in a general running out Bush or Walker but their candidacies are doomed should Trump run a third party challenge. the man may never win an election but he can certainly play kingmaker

No states in the Northeast are 95%+ non-hispanic white, actually.

Just as planned IMO.

Bill invites Trump month before he annouces, asks him to disrupt the GOP before bailing and running a 3rd party. Trump siphons blue collar and Tea Party vote, Hilary wins.

it was a joke about the Mondale resistance, Vermont is 95.3% white (94.3% non-Hispanic white) according to the 2010 census

though, the underlying substance of the joke is Hilary destroying Bernie among minority voters by something like 60%-70% even as his national name recognition and support among white liberals has risen, unsurprising given her husband's well-known and longstanding love affair with the black community (the divisions stemming from the 2008 primary seemingly resolved) and Hilldog's own well-publicized outreach efforts regarding voting rights. Bernie will not win the minority vote and he will not win the woman vote and so he will not win the Democratic primary

#BLM scheduled a "disruption" of Clinton's Q and A rally today. They notified her in advanced and submitted their questions. Activists conveniently show up late and are locked out by "secret service". Hillary invites them to talk in private, the BLM activists asked the media to keep out of their meeting.

I wonder if this action is lead by an evangelical christian/former Palin lover, too.

Found some good reading material about BLM and the direction they're heading with a little political black history refresher course on Fannie Lou Hamer:

Sanders has no chance. Trump could beat Sanders. After 30 seconds of him talking about open borders and America funding a march towards global equality, he's done outside irrelevant internet forums and clouded college dorms. He'll lose in a landslide. Huge numbers of Democrats will vote Republican.

He has no chance.

[notorious bum]

Cool story bro.

[Waraji]

Huge numbers of Democrats will vote Republican.

Shall this lead to anything?

I suppose that depends on whether illegal activity was being conducted, right?
