Yes, The Real The New Awesome Primary Thread

Trump has appeal to the lowest dregs of the Republican right, which turns out to be quite a larger share of the Republican base than anyone expected, while his bombast, posturing and inflammatory rhetoric have generated the attention of the national news media as a surrogate for paid Ads.

You must get all your information from Fox News.Sanders supports single-payer health care, Clinton, wallowing in all those donations from big pharma and other parasites involved in the process, does not.Sanders supports a $15 minimum wage, Clinton reluctantly supports $12, a promise likely unkept after the Walton family reminds her of who is the master and who is the slave.Sanders supports free college tuition, Clinton does not.

His present capture rate still leaves him just short of a first ballot victory, though California and New Jersey could push him to the magic number. However, with all the machinations going on to siphon off would-be Trump delegates, expect Trump to go to Cleveland with 1190-1210 pledged delegates.

AZPaul3 writes:Cruz got the delegates because he had a ground game that got his supporters to the caucuses where the delegates were chosen. Trump did not. Everyone knew the rules for delegate selection last year. Trump ignored them. You don't pay attention to the rules, you don't get the prize.

AZPaul3 writes:Caucuses and the ground organization are true grassroots politics at its democratic best. You talk up your neighbors and friends, even going door-to-door to meet and greet. Then you invite like supporters over to your house for a Saturday afternoon BBQ and talk about the candidates and the issues. Figure out who can go to the caucus next Tuesday night, how y’all can get there, plan meeting at Olive Garden for dinner before then let’s go out for a beer after.This is done in every neighborhood in the precinct. On caucus night, if you’re really good, you have 30-40 people attend. You discuss the candidates and the issues and you pass some resolutions then you select which 5 of you are going to go as your representatives to the district caucus. Since your organization was more better than the other guys you have more votes at this little precinct caucus and your 5 people get selected to go to district. Then you go drink beer.

AZPaul3 writes:If you were any candidate’s supporter I wouldn’t want you anywhere near the campaign because you are a trolling dunderhead who would piss everyone off with your insults and conspiracy tripe and lose us the good people that would otherwise support us.

Tanypteryx writes:You're right, Trump is unique.....we have never had this big a slimeball in the presidential finals before. Or someone as uniquely unknowledgeable of presidential responsibilities.

Dr Adequate writes:Such as his support for torture, war crimes, and increased military spending? Sounds pretty neo-con to me.
