U.S. presidential election 2016 (official thread)

How does that work? I thought Sanders just slaughtered Clinton in the second round?

big whoop

[saxitoxin]

America is democracy where people free to choose anyone they want as leader. Provided they don't choose wrong leader.

Found a great piece of commentary in that article:

Nearly all of those who said only Sanders is honest and trustworthy said he got their vote.

Who woulda thunk it?

[mrswdk]

What I want to know is, who are those people who said only Sanders is trustworthy and then voted for Clinton?

Has no one paid attention at all to what has been said, if not what struck me was that Ted Cruz and Hillary both are being supported by Goldman-Sachs, which says that they are hedging their bets on both parties, and what do they gain from this, both are viable canidates to win, not sure about anyone else but this looks fishy to me,

Only sort of related, but I didn't want to start a whole new topic for this.

I got a good laugh at it though.

Ted Cruz and Hillary

This raises an interesting question that came up in the last presidential election. Why the bias in naming among certain groups?

I'm genuinely interested in why you went with "Ted Cruz", and " Hillary" as your terms. In the last election, those who tacitly accepted Willard Romney's preferred name of "Mitt", provided an interesting point of hypocrisy for posters who insisted on " Barack Hussein Obama".

Your thoughts?

Ok I don't like you and normally ignore your posts
But on this one I will explain I said it the way I did so it would be perfectly clear who I was talking about, I used Cruz's first and last name because some dolt like yourself may have possibly thought I was referring to someone else, I used Hillary only because she is the only woman left in the race at this point, so if someone mistook who I meant there they shouldn't be speaking in this thread, it would be beyond their learning curve.

And as far as Barack Obama I never use his middle name personally, because when people see it they automatically think muslim and the negative conotations it infers in a certain mindset group.

Btw do you realize where his middle name originates from and what it means?

Now, I've gone and added some numbers to your post so that folk can follow and all.

1) OK, I borrowed your sig, your clan threw a hissy fit, a bunch of other people found it hilarious. It was pretty funny.

2) This makes no sense.

3) Huh, you sure? Because,...

4) ... It seems to be your last point.

Are you sure there's a bias? Since Ted Cruz's actual first name is Rafael I'm pretty sure jgordon is doing him a solid here.

Pretty normal for large corporate donors to hedge their bets. Their mission is to make sure they will have friends in high places regardless of which way the wind blows on election day.

Yes Duk I know but one canidate in particular is saying they can't be bought by Goldman-Sachs, And people believe it.

I was aware max, just seeing if symturd, who likes to point and spout ignorant shit, was even aware of it, but no he just wants to try comedy to hide his learning curve limitations,come on symturd say something smart, show your as smart as you pretend you are for once
Btw symturd Rafael Edward Cruz is his whole name, the more you know

[jgordon1111]

Here it is, the reason I will not vote for Jeb! Or Hillary, I don't believe the office of the president was deigned for dynastic rule, if the founding father's wanted that they would have made George Washington king, he declined the offer.enough is enough, Hillary keeps parading the next royal family member out for America to see and get used to I think it odd she is speaking for mommy on numerous occasions,as for jabs family his dad was a good president his brother was a lying idiot, who got the office because, oddly enough it came down to the state that Jeb was govener of that swung the vote his way, so no to those two. If you got to vote republican it looks like kasich, democrat it is Sanders, because they seem to be lying less than everyone else and less of a hidden agenda than everyone else

[tzor]

... provided an interesting point of hypocrisy for posters who insisted on " Barack Hussein Obama".

Personally I started throwing in Hussein because otherwise his initials (BO) frankly STINKS. BHO is a lot more dignified. And frankly, just because Hussein is the first name of a secular (emphasis on that word) tyrant who screwed the majority population in his own country and attempted to assassinate George Herbert Walker Bush while getting his but kicked by both father and son, it doesn't have any of the "Oh look he's Muslim" implications that people (who are mostly against its usage anyway) want to give it.

I really wasn't into this kind of thing back in the GHWB days (although as a child I did so love "Milhous" as it is fun to say).

But really, if you want me to keep repeating Herbert Walker ...
Herbert Walker ...
Herbert Walker ...


First rule of being a kid. When you are called by your formal name, you know you are in a lot of trouble.

"George Herbert Walker Bush, young man. You come over here this instant and apologize to the nice actor for calling his economics 'voodoo.'"

Don't feel bad about it. Nobody thinks you're the most prolific. Borderline illiterate, perhaps, but we're working on that

Did you figure out what "parody" means yet BTW?

mrswdk is a pretty unimpressive troll. Symmetry too, actually.
