Pinterest Mom posted:Nope. Earliest filing deadline for an independent candidate is Texas, May 9th. They need 80k signatures from people who didn't participate in either party primary, though, so the time to get that effort started is "pretty soon". Can't a candidate just pay $10k and get his name on the list?

Blasmeister posted:When he's running on a platform of "I'm paying for my own campaign and not taking corporate money like those other guys", it should mean you don't immediately get all the corporate money you can at the first opportunity to pay for it all in retrospect. But this is Trump, somehow he will continue to claim self-funding and his supporters will assume that money comes with no strings attached or Trump will have lied to them to get it and he's totally sticking up for the little guy just you wait and see. Trump has proven that policy statements don't loving matter when you're running as an authoritarian strongman. From an article linked earlier: quote:“I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration — and a very effective form of promotion.”

This is exactly why early head to head polls showing Sanders doing better than Clinton vs Trump are meaningless. The general election would be one constant drone of "SOCIALIST COMRADE SANDERS FOR FOOD LINES 2016" resulting in an embarrassing loss for the Democrats, and the GOP can't help but point out how shameful it was even this close.

I really hope the debates are 90 minutes of the moderators playing Vine videos of MidgetDigits contradicting himself. He'll counter that words aren't real then pivot to calling Shilldog a oval office. He will get zero applause because the real debates won't incentivize WWE-style grandstanding.

Darkman Fanpage posted:lmao shut the gently caress up as halfway crooks. qaddafi brought out anti-aircraft guns to fire on peaceful protesters in tripoli. don't try and paint the people he murdered as islamists. No one remembers the lead up to Libya. No one remembers that Gaddafi sent his supporters to literally "cleanse the city of Benghazi" of rebels. No one remembers that Europe and the Arab League condoned and participated in the conflict, no one remembers that Obama (and Clinton by extension) specifically relegated the US to a support and logistics roll. All that people remember of Libya is that one diplomatic building got overrun and Clinton caused it to happen. A thousand dicks in your "history and facts."

Slate Action posted:I honestly believe that if Kristol got killed they would ask Trump about it on CNN and he would go "yes it's terrible, but you know who really kills a lot of people? Illegal immigrants" and that would be the end of the discussion and nothing would continue to matter. At this point MidgetDigits could say anything, so long as it follows the syntax of "some people are saying" or "I'm just asking a rhetorical question about x raping/murdering/finger loving y" and the nightly news would echo his message with only a modicum of dissent. Trump has mastered the art of gish gallop. When fact checking can't be preemptively counter-refuted Trump wins.

Just once I'd like to see Trump get called out for his Palin-esque level of ignorance. But he'd probably just counter that the journalist was a horse finger-banging loser and his supporters would have a couple yucks and nothing would come of it. Still entertaining to read journalists from Politico to The Hollywood Reporter barely contain their contempt for the man.

A full 29% of Sanders supporters still think he will win, another 11% aren't sure. Next week there's a good chance Sanders could drop out, and at the very least we will see Clinton cross the delegate finish line before the polls close in CA. With that final portion of voters acknowledging Clinton will be the nominee, I think we're going to see a nice bounce for Clinton before the conventions. After the conventions, I expect the undecideds to drop off sharply, but still remain higher than the last 5 elections.

I hope they continue that trend. No more "Trump denies some stupid thing he said," but rather a complete "Trump denies some stupid thing he said on tape, which we have and will run footage of" Make the banners taller or something, just cram that whole thing on screen for the channel flipping yokels to see.

It's sort of funny that Paunchy Bestwords could insult millions of Latinos and be rewarded with front runner levels of support, but insult one single guy and a line had been crossed. It's like everyone could only see how ugly bigotry is when directed at a real person and not an abstract like "illegal aliens."

There's no chance the GOP will jettison Tangerine Strongman, no matter how much of a clown shoes campaign he puts together or if he starts calling sitting judges "beaners" or whatever. All they can do at this point is condemn individual paroxysms of bigotry while shrugging their shoulders about what options they have.
