2016 Presidential Democratic Primary Thread

right

I can see it now

Trump tweeting - so what was Hillary really doing when Bill was getting BJs from Monica?

Tweeting? I fully expect him to parade some of Bill's lady friends up on stage with him. And it's not like Hillary doesn't know how to fight dirty either. It's gonna be a shitshow.

Do you really think Trump will continue to act like this after the primary?  This guy is a master at pandering, and right now he needs the mouth breathers.  I bet he settles way down after the convention when he realizes he is at the point where he needs more than angry white dudes. 

But who knows.  Feel free to call me out in August when he punches an elderly Hispanic woman.

About that...

@williamjordann
Per exits polls, roughly 92,000 Democrats voted in the Republican primary (7%). Bernie won by by about 18,500 votes.

That shit gets no play in Chicago, Donald.

Marco Rubio isn't qualified to be a household joke.

Now he might be qualified for that much.

Ugh, it would be nice if people voted in favor of their own best interests for a change.

Yes. But why change now?


I'd be curious to see turnout numbers for FL.

And you know what that is better than they do?

You know I smoked cigarettes for 15 years or so.  Those were not votes in my best interest and yet I continued to vote that way for a long time

Minorities voting for Drumpf and Clinton are absolutely fucking themselves, no two ways about it. 

Bernie represents the interests of all working class Americans, he's dedicated his entire life to it.

That analogy is weaker than your legs when Mike starts dropping DwD bombs.  :-P

I don't doubt that Hillary would be worse than Bernie re Drug War, which is the single biggest issue that could help reduce racial disparities in the criminal justice system. But on other domestic policies - which are largely outside the control of the executive - they're pretty much a push. At least in their campaign promises which we all agree are worth jack shit. Plus, while Bill was called "the first black president," Bernie has had a obviously difficult time connecting with African Americans. But that doesn't mean they are voting against their interests or are too stupid to know the difference (as your original statement implied).

As for the "all working class Americans," well, you know that can't possibly be true, right? Maybe some of them aren't as cool with having their taxes raised as you are?

A 2% tax increase in exchange for free healthcare and college is no push, it would be a huge victory for all Americans. 

I think black voters just aren't familiar with Bernie and his policies, that doesn't mean they are stupid, just that they aren't making the most informed decision.   Sadly Hillary can coast to a victory on the basis of brand loyalty, even though I don't think her politics are necessarily the same as Bill's.  It's s bit of a bait and switch, Democrats think they'll get the Clintons of the 90s when unfortunately that ship has sailed and been replaced by a far more corporate friendly version of governance.
