So apparently Bernie's new strategy might be to stay close in delegates, then try to convince super delegates to flip to his side because he is polling better against Trump.

Last night Maddow was trying to make him answer the question of whether or not he would do that, but Bernie refuse to answer her directly.

I sure hope Bernie doesn't try to pull a stupid stunt like that.

Weird strategy, if true. Even if Bernie goes on a run here in the next few primaries, the delegate math does not add up.

Pretty proud of my state right now.

And Oregon already gets 40 percent of its electricity from carbon-free hydro, so this would put its total carbon-free power share at 90 percent by 2040. Not bad, Beaver State.

http://www.oregonlive.com/marijuana/index.ssf/2016/03/first_month_of_taxed_recreatio.html

Oregon collected $3.48 million in taxes from recreational marijuana sales in January, far outpacing estimates and offering the first look at how much pot is moving through the state's newly regulated retail market.

The answer: a lot.

Oregon dispensaries sold at least $14 million worth of recreational marijuana in January alone. That figure doesn't take into account medical marijuana sales, which remain untaxed.

The collections for a single month exceed state economists' projections for the entire year. Officials expected between $2 million to $3 million after the state paid for the costs associated with regulation.

good to see that the only changes reported after legalization are the increases in state revenue...

Trump has already proved others wrongs on other **** why not make your ticket read like bull **** and still get the popular vote.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse :x

 

[RustyShackleford]

always been perplexed by the notion that we need to bring "democracy" to other countries so as a result, if people vote in Hamas, Muslim brotherhood, etc, we think then they should be able to rule. which is completely missing the point. what is needed is strong protections of liberties and minorities, which is achieved by a strong constitution and separation of church and state. only once that is guaranteed does it make sense to have "democracy."

those old videos always creep me out though. reminds me of the videos in Lost.

We don't need to, it's code for "they have something we want so let's start a bogus war and take it" for example oil in the middle east

Carson as Trump's VP?

When high energy and low energy meet.

^ big bang?

so it's rare when different sides in the Middle East agree on something. historically the only thing that brought together Jews, Christians, Shias, and Sunnis was love of hummus. but then along came Isis, a group so detested that everyone except for the psychopaths in Isis revile them.

we used to say the same thing about Republicans and Democrats, about Fox News and MSNBC. but then along came Drumpf, the great uniter. For the first time every sane American is in agreement (along with everyone around the world) that this tool with at least 3-4 personality disorders is awful. Fox news said the following about Drumpf:

"Donald Trump’s vitriolic attacks against Megyn Kelly and his extreme, sick obsession with her is beneath the dignity of a presidential candidate who wants to occupy the highest office in the land."

By chance I was running my instagram username checker (I earn a living selling social media usernames) and saw @Marcorubio got reset and became available again today 

If this fool didn't drop out and actually had a chance of winning I could've had a fat stack on my hands

For real, he might really be a uniter. I don't know my co-workers political affiliations, but white, black, Indian, doesn't matter, they can all agree on hating Trump.

Hillary as Two-Face

 

[RustyShackleford]

Since Carson is rumored to be the running mate, someone should add him in as Harley Quinn.

Think about it, he is a former doctor, ******* nuts, and kinda knows how dangerous and crazy Trump is.

 

[aepps20]

Benjamin needs to be Ric Flair with his $600 LIZARD SHOES WOOOOOO.

 

[MVP]

Bernie is more like Pennyworth.

 

[Master Zik]

It's time for Two-Face to shine

The other two got their turns.
