2016 Presidential Democratic Primary Thread

[runawayjimbo]

OH SHIT. I CANT BELIEVE THEY OPENED WITH "DONALD TRUMP, ARE YOU IN FACT AN ASSHOLE."

[mehead]

Apparently Carly Fiorina crushed the JV debate.

Time for the shitshow Main Event.

Some godawful casual banter between the moderators a min ago. If this debate is as exciting as that, I'm not gonna be able to take it.

Rubio's ears are fucking huge

[runawayjimbo]

Obamacare = Replace it! (with ... something)

Immigration = Build a wall!

God = He wants this for us!

Taxes = They're the worst!

ISIS = Hide your kids!  Hide your wife!

The Military = It's weak tea!

Rosie O'Donnell = Disgusting animal!


That was about it.

I dont get it.  Are you saying that Trump making a rediculous, sexist statement is going to bury him?

Yes. I think when someone makes a "she's on the rag" joke - especially when that joke is used to explain why the big mean reporter lady was so mean to him - that person is not going to be president. It doesn't mean he's (necessarily) going to go away anytime soon. But I think it's pretty clear he's not going to be taken "seriously" anymore. And you can see it already: all the tough guy GOP candidates were out talking about what a disgrace he is yesterday and today whereas before they were too afraid to mention him.

A lot of people today pointing to this poll showing Trump's support has surged post-debate (even including period-gate). But it's an online poll which is ripe for manipulation and notoriously suspect in terms of predictability. Dude will very soon be the laughing stock he so rightly deserves to be.

Meanwhile, Martin O'Malley (who?) is not happy about the debate schedule the DNC announced last week.

Martin O'Malley Erupts On Debate Schedule: "What The Hell Kind Of Democratic Party Is This?"
"We shouldn't be a party that's afraid to talk about America's role in the world and the lessons we've learned from these last very hard 14 to 15 years of conflict."

Democratic presidential candidate and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley criticized his party's debate schedule on Monday, calling the format of six debates a "sad state of affairs."

"I think that having more debates would certainly have all of the candidates take positions on issues,"O'Malley said in an interview with Boston Herald Radio. O'Malley is positioning himself as a progressive alternative to Hillary Clinton, but is currently polling below 2% nationally.

"I've been very clear where I stand on Wall Street reform," he added. "I've been clear about my plan to make sure that a debt-free college degree is something that's within the means of every family in the United States, and I've been very clear about wanting to move, and putting out a plan to move our country to a 100 percent clean electric grid by 2050."

Last Thursday, the Democratic National Committee announced the party will hold six primary debates. O'Malley slammed what he said was the DNC trying to stifle debate.

"And as the Democratic Party, I think it's a sad state of affairs when the DNC — it tries to insert itself to cut off a Democratic debate," he said. "We should not be a party that's afraid to talk about the ideas that will get wages going up again instead of down. We shouldn't be a party that's afraid to talk about America's role in the world and the lessons we've learned from these last very hard 14 to 15 years of conflict."

"We have better solutions for the future than the other party has and I think we're making a huge mistake," he continued. "If we cut off debate, if we tell the people of New Hampshire that we've become such an impoverished party that we can only afford one debate before the New Hampshire primary, what the hell kind of Democratic Party is this?

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, another underdog for the Democratic presidential nomination, also criticized the debate schedule in an interview Sunday.

meh.  all is he needs to do is tone down the misogyny and amp back up the racism and he'll be fine. oh wait i forgot, the hatred of obama has nothing to do with republicans being racist.  actually, he doesn't even need to tone down the misogyny, his 'only rosie o'donnell' comment referring to women as pigs and dogs got big applause and laughter.  these fucking assholes love it.  i mean c'mon, somebody is doing the raping!
