Is America doomed???

America’s most reliable bellwether county has fallen for the wild man from New York.
By ADAM WREN December 04, 2015
The most accurate pundits in the history of American presidential politics reside far from the Beltway, on a 403-square mile patch of land along the western border of Indiana. At the intersections of U.S. Highways 40 and 41, and off Interstate 70, you find yourself in Vigo County, with its 108,000 residents and its ho-hum county seat, Terre Haute, situated along the Wabash River. Terre Haute is the land of Clabber Girl Baking Powder—and its citizens call it the “Crossroads of America.” It’s the place where both Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh and labor leader and Social Democratic Party founder Eugene Debs were born, and home to the U.S. penitentiary where the Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh died.
And, in nearly every presidential election since 1888, voters here in this blue-collar county have selected the winning candidate, missing only twice: Once, in 1908, when they opted for Williams Jennings Bryan instead of William Howard Taft, and again in 1952, when they chose Adlai Stevenson rather than Dwight D. Eisenhower.
“It’s obviously because of our extraordinary intelligence and good sense,” said Bayh, whose father built the family’s political dynasty here. “It’s classic middle America. Small businesses. Family farms. Community schools. We care more about common sense results than we do about party labels and ideology. … You don’t get the excesses of New York or California. We keep it between the 40-yard-lines.”
So, when it comes to 2016, you might expect these “between-the 40-yard-lines” voters to be soberly weighing the merits of Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio, with maybe an occasional flirtation with Bernie Sanders or Mike Huckabee. And yet, when I spent two days traveling around its gathering places and watering holes, I discovered that, while the county’s Democrats have, for their part, coalesced around Clinton, its Republicans mostly wanted to talk about just one candidate: Donald Trump.
In America’s most prophetic county seat, Trump enjoys a diverse coalition of support, from the 17-year-old punk high school student on the eve of his first election to the 81-year-old Kennedy voter to the kind of folks who will reshuffle their Thursday night plans to attend a county GOP “Politics and Pies” event. Coastal pundits might lament Trump’s appeal to the “low information voter”—but I can tell you one thing: Terre Haute citizens are anything but poorly informed.
And if Trump can make it here—in this hollowed-out county of swing voters, union halls, three universities and a knot of CSX railroad lines, where voters seem to have a knack for predicting unpredictable elections—he can make it anywhere.
Which is more likely...
Druff voting for Donald Trump for President?
Or...
Druff becoming a gay man who will suck and jerk off other men and allow himself to anally penetrated?
He might make a token vote for Trump versus whoever the Dems put up. But being a voter in either Cal or NV means his vote will be mostly symbolic given that the Hispanic voters are likely to go to the polls in droves to keep his racist ass from winning in their state.
All these malakas have no idea what's happening... they really believe trump is a racist and Hillary is the way to go.. it's a groundswell all over this country. And now that Obama is going to argue guns are bad and Christianity is bad (as tought to him by Jeremiah Wright) and that it's our fault for not being inclusive enough to the muslims that went berserk or some one sang a Christmas Carol and should have known better but it's not the muslims it's the guns or what have u..
The overwhelmingly black and legal Hispanic vote whants's trump.. straight from the Bronx, mother fuckers...
It's a slam dunk for trump.
Trump, trump,trump

Hey cocky shit, you are more than willing to go to Betfair and bet against Trump:
Donald Trump is the new favorite to win the Republican presidential nomination, Betfair said, less than three weeks before Iowa caucus-goers cast the first votes of the 2016 election.
The odds on a Trump victory are 15/8, or 34 percent, putting the billionaire real-estate mogul as favourite in the market for the first time, Betfair said in an e-mailed statement in London on Wednesday. Previous favourite Marco Rubio widened to 11/5, or 31 percent, while Ted Cruz is 7/2, 22 percent. Betfair didn’t provide earlier odds in its e-mail.
“The market for Republican nominee has been the tightest betting contest in the 2016 presidential election so far,” said Naomi Totten, a spokeswoman for Betfair, in the statement.
A new Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register Iowa Poll shows Cruz and Trump racing for first place. Cruz has the support of 25 percent of those likely to attend the Republican caucuses on Feb. 1, followed by Trump at 22 percent.

Thought you yanks might enjoy this treat from your favourite island dwellers
Trump ahead by 17 points nationally in NBC poll from today. If he wins Iowa it will be a foregone conclusion he will be the nominee because he simply will sweep the deep South. The only chance the establishment has at this point is to win Florida and Texas. If they lose either one, its over and it will be Trump. I believe Cruz will fade because of his goofy looking snout face, people generally don't like snout faced politicians.

Slow down there rummy. Winner take all states don't start until March.
Any man who votes for Hilary Clinton is, in fact, not a man at all. I am being dead serious when I say I can't fathom how any MALE can vote for HIlary Clinton. I can't imagine being such a cucked little bitch. You must genuinely hate America if you vote for that lying scum!

Your approach is exactly how I feel about politics today. It's outrageous. I fucking hate these guys and the system we have become.
We should do something to incent newbies to politics - then incent them to GTFO after a few years. Cause politics in the USA is a colossal fail.
Citizen politicians? Doesn't exist anymore.
First five years you pay no taxes - state or federal. Then bring hammer of god and bounce them back to civilian life.
this crew is a despicable example of political machinery. The only one that has any semblance of a soul is Bernie Sanders followed by Trump a distant second. Sanders is not the product of some machine.
The rest should be tried for treason.
Looks like Palin will endorse Trump today in Iowa![/QUOTE]
He also sort of got Bristol's endorsement -- Ted Cruz was mean to my momma.
But did he get Trip Palin's endorsement? Just a few minutes ago.
Sarah Palin's Son Track Arrested For Drunken Domestic Violence ... With A Gun
"Sarah Palin's 26-year-old son Track was thrown in jail after cops say he drunkenly assaulted a woman while packin' heat.
According to the Wasilla P.D., officers responded to a home Monday night after getting a 911 domestic violence call. It's unclear exactly what went down, but cops say Palin was drunk and had a firearm.
They say he also interfered with the victim's ability to report the crime.
Track was booked for assault, interfering with a domestic violence report and misconduct involving weapons."

Ted Cruz looks like a nasty pedophile.
He is a crazy tea-party fanatic and has no chance of getting elected President.
This is why Sarah Palin has endorsed Donald Trump.
Trump has the best chance of all the candidates in the Republican party.
Since Druff voted for McCain/Palin in 2008.
Druff should have no problem voting for Trump for President now.
