This whole democracy thing might be a sham, it's truly incredible.
I know of one other person irl who was denied the right to vote because they were reg'd Independent. They vowed to vote for Trump, same here. I'll never vote for Hillary period.
Considering that the United States of America is a Constitutionally Limited Republic - not a Democracy - and the internal rules of a private political party have no bearing on the laws of the Federal Government, your world view matches your retarded political ramblings.Quote:

Nate Silver also has Bernie winning WI tomorrow
I'm for changing the name of this thread from "flying stupidity" to " flying Trump" and this clown wants to be POTUS, and some of you support him lol. But I sure hope he wins the nomination, or my Hilary bets will be a sweat
The Daily News and the Post always have great covers.Quote:

I want to put this prediction on the record so that I can point to it next year, or forget about it forever. I did predict that Obama would be President in November 2007.
Trump and Hillary are going to be the nominees. Supporters of other candidates are stamping their feet and yelling, but it's over.
The betting sites are making Hillary the 2 to 1 favorite, and that sounds about right. Trump will take a bunch of low population states and Texas, Hillary will take Florida, Ohio, Illinois, and that's that. The electoral map has looked like that the last two elections, and head to head polling is showing it again.
Now the actual prediction part. Trump is going to blame the Republican leadership for his loss. He'll say they always hated him and were sabotaging him the whole way, and it won't be entirely untrue. In response, Trump is going to start a new party. He has the ego to call it the Trump Party, but he's probably smart enough to call it something tough like the Eagles of Freedom Party. Sarah Palin will be on board, as she was an early supporter. Chris Christie and some other decently big names will join. I think it would actually do very well among the large number of people who say they hate both parties.
Up until a few months ago, there was speculation that Trump would run as an independent this year. The polling in those 3 way races saw Trump splitting the conservative half of the electorate and handing the victory to any Democrat. I think that may actually happen in 2018, but with Trump approved candidates up and down the ballot.
Now the really crazy part. If Democrats take over both houses in 2018, there will be calls from the right for structural voting reform, so they could stop losing elections 30%-30%-40%. And they would get support from the far left. Maybe. Just maybe. Donald Trump could destroy 200 years of two party rule based on our first past the post voting system.
History shows that a strong showing for non-establishment/independent candidates garner for the top electoral spots nationally (president) or in states (governor) almosy never translates into much support for third party candidates down ballot (e.g. representatives, senators). And that is because those races are much more dependent on machine politics to build name recognition. Because while voters usually complain a LOT about Congress, they are usually complaining about the representatives and senators from *other* districts or states, not their own.Quote:

Sad but very true.Quote:

I saw a special on 60 minutes. They had 30 1st graders in a room and two seperate teachers come in and read them the exact same story.One was very pretty but couldn't read very well, she was stuttering and skipping around ect. Then they had the not so good looking teacher read the the same story,she read very well and was quite animated while she read it. Later they asked the kids which teacher they liked better. 29 of 30 chose the good looking one.
My take smacks of conspiracy theory. But this play is as old as time. Bread and Circus for the voters while Rome burns.Quote:

Translated no interest rate changes and more QE is available.. She even touched on negative rates.
Music to the markets ears. The casino will remain open for the coming year. I kinda now know we are beat here.
I think Trump benefitted "huge" from the pain felt during the markets dump Dec - March. There was a lot of fear and uncertainty.
We will delay the inevitable come to Jesus moment til next year but the Democrats will deal with that fall out with the new administration.
I agree with this quick take but what the fuck you gonna do.Quote:
Her remarks and their context could be taken to suggest that, for reasons beyond its control, the Fed is increasingly held hostage by three forces that could threaten its own credibility and political autonomy.
The game is the game. Well played Obama. You win.
Obviously everyone here knows I'm a Trump fan. I've grown bored with this election so I haven't paid attention much the past couple weeks. That said, I'm now comfortable saying Trump has a near zero chance of becoming President and I'm not sure that's a bad thing. Reality for a lot of the country is setting in.
Pooh if you endorse Hilary I will take back calling you a" goose stepping Nazi "Quote:

a lot of things can change. Yet, everyone wants to state with 100% certainty that a poll that was taken is supposed to DEFINITELY represent what will happen in the future.
absurd
Rough Week for Trump. He was 1-4 to win the Republican nominee a week or two back, now he is just 4-6 on alot of sites, and 1-2 on the others. Since the books are willing to take bets at 4 to 6 on him, his chances to win the nominee now are certainly under 60% and maybe even 50%
Remember 80's Trump: the game??
"Let me tell you, I know games. I've got the best games. They are wonderful wonderful games. All these games love me. They love me!
The games I have are YUGE
I've got a lot of games and you know what, I'm really good at games."
LETS MAKE GAMES GREAT AGAIN

Somebody needs to construct a poll which asks PFA:
Who do you think will win in November? Not who will you vote for.
Would be an interesting test of our connection with reality.
That reality is too fucking depressing. Let us have our fun.Quote:

So the thing I realized yesterday while arguing with those trump morons, is that, probably more than anything, they're pissed at the fact that their leaders were crap and have had to suffer as a result. Now they're old and resentful of anything positive, not wanting better for the future of humanity, just to shit all over the place until theyre dead.
I responded with the following:

:lol
I have people of all political persuasions on my Facebook, and yet I am seeing an overwhelming number of emotion-grabbing-but-false graphics being reposted by Bernie supporters. While I've seen a few misleading stats/memes from Trump supporters, conservatives, and even Hillary supporters, they are dwarfed by the number of things like this I see from Bernie people.
And if you dare point out that they are sharing something fake, they bite your head off.

What about co-hosting a morning show like “Today”?
You have to wake up so early. The alarm goes off at 3:30 a.m. When I did “America’s Newsroom,” which started at 9 a.m., I remember saying to the makeup artist at the time, ‘If you could only know the afternoon me, you’d like me so much better.’ Listen, this is a fickle business. What if they called me and fired me tomorrow? I have to keep my options open.
Fox News won’t do that.
One never knows. Everything is rolling along fine, and then you call Huckabee “Fuckabee” and you’re gone.

It appears Trump understands he is beat with Obama & Yellen's recent game plan for the rest of the year.
Trump rallied "Yuge" while we were tanking Dec-March. Not so much now.
It doesn't surprise me the "Massive Recession" story got no traction. Most people have no clue what a recession is.
Trump is making a mistake by implying that he can "trade" his way out of it. The economy waxes and wanes. It ebbs and flows. Bubbles form and they deflate. We're gonna suffer for a while but we can get back to some kind of responsible policy.
His message should just be simply to tell the truth from the point of view of an experienced billionaire investor and businessman. Reveal what the Fed is doing to average Americans.
Point out the fraudulent economic numbers. GDP & unemployment. Point out how numbers are always revised downward months later (unnoticed & under the radar) by the same crew who cook them up in the first place.
Just stay on point Donald if that is fucking possible. Ball is in his court.
I realize there will be denial from all quarters. The incumbant democrats who have to support what they have wrought. The billionaire republicans who don't want the gravy train to stop.
His message will get ZERO support from any establishment and his claim will be challenged and scoffed.
Being the outsider makes him uniquely positioned. Puts him in a nice spot should he get shafted at the convention.
If he never really wanted to be President his place in (economic) history will be assured nonetheless.
People will be playing his videos for years to come and his reputation and legacy will be cinched.
