Everyone in the thread having the same avatar does make it easier to swallow these threads just rehashing the same arguments over and over again, month after month. Save us, Joementum. You're our only hope.

Pyroxene Stigma posted:If it bothers you so much, why are you contributing? This is Ted 'Debate Team' Cruz. There is no law mandating or penalty for electors not voting for the person they are pledged for. He is sneaking his people in, and they are pledged for Donald. They'll just vote for Ted on the first ballot because you can't stop them. At which point Ted becomes a first ballot nominee, and Donald throws the poo poo-fittiest fit.

In all these states where Cruz is rules lawyering his way to delegates, those delegates are still bound to Trump on the first ballot? Or is it possible that Cleveland is going to burn to the ground after none of them vote for Trump like they're supposed to.

That's why everything Cruz is doing with the delegates doesn't mean poo poo if Trump wins on the first ballot

Hint: the gun is by the kid in the backseat because that way in their head, they get carjacked and say, "okay yes but let me get my kid first" and then they grab the gun instead and BLOW THEM AWAY!!!!!!

Because you're a moron who thinks guns are toys as much as your child does. My partner and I purchased a firearm a number of years ago for home defense. We've never had to use it - hopefully never will. As time goes on though, I find myself more okay with wishing I had never bought it - or that it never existed to be bought in the first place. Reason being all the news blips that random guy/girl/child/baby ends up getting killed because of some dumb that should have never happened. I've always thought maybe I just have my empathy meter out of whack because I find myself caring and feeling super bad for these people I have never met, never will - but I can only imagine what it would be like to lose someone so precious in that manner.

Even dumber than that: They stuck it under the seat and it slid back from the motion of the car and wound up by the kid, who was able to grab it because they weren't belted in. Edit: Yodatar rules. Haters swerve!

Apparently I won the lottery too. I'm guessing it has to do with supporting Bernie at one time. It is great that nearly 5 people each month have died due to children and firearms this year. Edit: nope not that. I'm glad to have it.

I don't think there is one. Cruz fights that way, you've noticed. On the forensics debate points level of rear end in a top hat. He fucks it up a lot, but it's an incredibly Cruz-like thing to do.

The best part about Trump running third party the whole time out of the purest, Nixonian anger against the GOP is that once he's laid waste to the party by splitting their vote in half when it was already insufficient, he can just say he was never really a Republican and they were huge dummies for letting him run as one. He almost ran for president as a Democrat, ya dummies! Sad!
