Seriously America, thank you for providing us with this clownshow. UK politics can be pretty drat boring sometimes!

No problem. Thanks for being our loyal lapdog. Good luck on your referendum in June on whether you still want to be Germany's bitch too.

Reminder that Kaisch is the guy who doesn't write his annual State of Ohio speeches as governor and thinks he is clever enough to go up there and wing it for an hour.

He kind of is! :v:

quote:

And I also want to give a nice comment about my wife, Karen Kasich. Sweetie, stand, take a little wave, would you, okay?

(Applause)

I remember that cartoon that said, "Kasich will still not reveal how he snagged that hot wife."

...

A year ago, Ohio ranked 48th in job creation. We trailed only Michigan and California in lost jobs-Michigan, the home of the auto industry that was devastated and California, of course, filled by a bunch of wackadoodles.

...

Theresa, you come and get this medal.

(Award presented)

(Applause)

We don't want to see those on eBay ladies.

...

We want all of you, I don't care who you are, in this legislature, I don't care who you are in this crowd, if you have an idea that you think can help create jobs and advance our society and our state, tell us. Don't be shy. I don't bite. Most times.

...

But you think of the University of Cincinnati, performance medicine in Dayton, our children's hospitals, we got the best stuff in the whole world. And what we got as a result of it, think about this: Phillips, the great, great medical company moved their imaging R&D from San Jose, California, to Cleveland. That's better than the Super Bowl for the Browns, okay? That's a fantastic thing.

(Applause)

Okay, well, maybe not better than the Super Bowl, but equal to a Super Bowl, okay?

(Audience laughter)

...

So, we went and bought all this fiber. It's like this black fiber which means you can send stuff so fast. It's high speed. It's beyond high speed Internet. And I'm announcing today we're going to increase the speed of OARnet, from 10 gigabytes per second to 100 gigabytes per second and what does that mean? It's not Back to the Future with gigabytes. I mean, this really means something.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

He wished it could be as respectable and orthodox as spying. But somehow in his hands the traditional tools and attitudes were always employed toward mean ends: cloak for a laundry sack, dagger to peel potatoes, dossiers to fill up dead Sunday afternoons ...

That social cost disappears post-Bernie, then it'll be only as bad as it usually is to be a millennial GOP voter (still not good, but I can work with it).

Normally I'd say that GE polls this far out are meaningless but these numbers literally didn't look any different last November when Trump became the frontrunner, and a LOT of poo poo has happened to move them.

Clinton is only 3 points ahead in the latest GE poll. Trump is going to be president.

What do you guys think of Gingrich as Trump's VP? He has spoken well of Trump, has Clinton battling experience, and Trump has said that he wants someone who can help him navigate the Washington bureaucracy.

My first knee jerk reaction is that Newt is too fat and unhealthy to be a force in politics anymore. Unless something has changed over the past year, an active political role is not an obese man's game.

Same reason you can look at Al Gore and know he's not serious about public office.

As for the Newt scandals...I'm betting they are prostitute orgies and possibly drugs. :shrug:

I'm not cherrypicking. I picked the latest GE poll there is. Clinton is an incredibly weak candidate and Trump will beat her easily. I wish it wasn't the case, but we have to live in reality, not fantasy.

a kasich asks a cruz to carry it to the convention. the cruz hesitates, afraid of being betrayed, but the kasich argues that if it did so, they would both be trumped. considering this, the cruz agrees. as they approach indiana the kasich shouts "vote kasich", betraying the cruz, dooming them both. when the cruz asks the kasich why, the kasich replies "it is my nature".

Yea, if you're as old and unhealthy as Trump, you need a younger, healthier VP. Obama didn't have this issue, so he could pick an older VP to add experience to the ticket.

All he evidence points to them screwing him. Remember the rules committee meets before the convention proper. All this 1237 poo poo and he 8 state threshold that was decided in 2012 and isn't binding on 2016 until they (the people on the rules committee) say it is.
