I don't know why Republicans are all bent out of shape about Obama skipping Nancy Reagan's funeral, they're not going to like the man any more if he went.

I don't know why liberals are so bent out of shape about the speech Trump just gave, they're not going to like the man any more if he didn't give it.

@Rolaholic -- so it'll be between Trump and Cruz?

That's like choosing your method of death: lethal injection or electric chair.

You misunderstand us, I'm pretty sure we all just loved his brand promotions.

Word, who's bent out of shape? His speeches are pure comedic gold

It's not official but it's sure looking that way

I'd rather Romney - Santorum like last time tbh :x

Kind of crazy to see that even Kasich now has managed to pull away from Marco in some instances

i tried to tell you guys about that boy trump.. It's over man. If they don't give him the nomination it would be a big mistake.. He is the people's choice

From Goldwater, to Reagan, to Trump

The GOP base once again reminds the world the world what the really look for in a president.

A white supremacist

stop that foolishness.

Good lord... 3 polls averaged in the past week in Michigan had Sanders down 21%.

CBS poll 5 days ago had him 11 points back.

He's probably going to win by a couple % points...

If Sanders continues to win Rust Belt States, and wins some of the Mountain Time + all of West Coast States... The Super Delegates may have no choice but to turn come the Convention.

Makes you wonder if certain polls are published to reflect the public sentiment or to influence the public sentiment. Many times I think it's the latter...

Michigan is feeling the Bern ,what an upset. He seems to be doing quite well in the so called "swing states"

What about a candidate openly saying that he would make soldiers and marines commit war crimes of torturing.

"he's gettin money tho"

It's starting to look like Bernie may be the better candidate to go against Drumpf.

He is massively better with the youth vote... Does much better with white working class voters..

Minority vote is going to Democratic Party regardless whether Drumpf is candidate or not, and whether it is Clinton or Sanders.


Still think Clinton beats Drumpf because of how much Drumpf has to rely on white working class voters, it would be closer though... But against Bernie, Drumpf would get demolished.

This might never happen again but...


I agree with you.

A+

 

[ben roethlisberger]

Is it fair to say he's already been hand picked

Nah, Trump is just here for the spectacle.

Hilary has been handpicked for years.

 

[RustyShackleford]

There might be a ton of reason for Bernie's upsets tonight, but polling for Michigan was way off, damb.

I don't believe Bernie really made up a over 20% advantage, pollsters probably sampled badly

Anyway, shout out to the gawd

-I think I read Drumpf would have to win 70% of white working class voters to win. And I can't see him doing that

-Hillary or Bernie both I think have their own strengths against Little Fingers

Bernie might win the minority vote in the general, but he might not be able to turn them out in large numbers.

Nominating the candidate that is the relative "unpopular" one with minorities would be a interesting experiment for the Dems.

-And Drumpf will have ammo to use against either candidate. Integrity "she is a criminal" attacks with Clinton, pie in the sky "socialist" policies with Sanders.

-It would be kind of weird to see the two parties have to support candidates they don't really want

I can see Drumpt running a campaign, and being competitive, without the establishments support

Bernie doesn't have that luxury. He would need the support of the entire Democratic establishment, including the Clintons, to have a chance

 

[RustyShackleford]

Like I said before, Drumpf is the new wave. The GOP has been down this loony bigotted path before



-keep in mind this dude is an actor though. But if I were Bern, I would attack Lil Fingers the same way

Hillary was salty she lost out to Obama in 2008.

She has a straight shot now, it's hers to lose. I trust her regime won't turn the US into Brazil 2.0.

I doubt Trump could turn America in Brazil 2.0.

Brazil is beyond ******

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

My understanding, which may be wrong, is that they only call landlines to do polls in Michigan. Obviously, most people in the under 30 demographic don't have a landline. So the polls were made up largely of older people, which Hillary has won in every state. Hence why the polls were so far off.

 

[whywesteppin]

this graphic says it all:

although, to be fair, Drumpf Hitler has surprised everyone so who knows what'll actually happen.

 

[rolaholic]

It's pretty easy to look likable on stage with Cruz,Rubio and Drumpf . In Cruz's case,you just need to appear

 

[superblytrife]

Is Hillary the Andy Dalton of presidential races?
