Hillary Clinton can't even out-fundraise an old Vermont socialist.

This election belongs to Trump, the rest of us are just living in it.

about that:

quote:

Bernie Sanders would beat Donald Trump 51-38 in a general-election match-up, according to the latest poll from Quinnipiac University. Or — to put it in the course vernacular that Trump introduced to America this week — the billionaire would get "schlonged" by the democratic socialist.

"Sen. Bernie Sanders hammers him," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac poll. Hillary Clinton, the poll suggests, would also put Trump in his place — "Hillary Clinton tops him," added Malloy — though by a more modest 47-40.

That wasn't the only bad news for Trump, and by extension the GOP, to come out of the national poll: 61 percent of Americans say the Republican frontrunner "does not share their values," 58 percent believe he "is not honest and trustworthy,"and 57 percent say he "does not care about their needs and problems."

If Hillary somehow won she would most definitely be a one term president. Too many people across the isle can't stand her.

Now, listen - I know the two of you are very different from each other in a lot of ways, but you have to understand that as far as Grandpa's concerned, you're both pieces of shit! Yeah. I can prove it mathematically.

Immortan posted:

I think there's a significant bloc of voters that would go:
Bernie > Trump > HIllary,

Bernie having the advantage of not being a completely contemptible human being.

Like if Trump were to ever run against a decent human being, he'd have a shot of losing an election. But he's the least contemptible republican candidate - like, Ted Cruz and Rubio are seriously vile human beings. I generally would vote Democrat, and would vote Obama/Kerry/Dukakis/Carter/Bill Clinton over Trump. But Hillary Clinton has zero redeeming qualities and is full of poo poo, and people have long memories and really hate her.

I think if it were Bernie versus Trump, Trump would lose decisively. However, if it's Trump versus Hillary, we're hosed anyway, so we might as well throw a middle finger to both parties for putting us in a situation where neither side could nominate a non-contemptible human being.

I think it's probable that Trump with get the republican nomination. I think it's probable that Hillary Clinton will get the democratic nomination. I think in that race, Trump would win. Ban me if it doesn't happen :toxx:

Can you be more specific? You might be right, but the thing is I just ignore any criticism of Hillary because the RWM firehose of bullshit makes it impossible to separate the signal from the noise. I know that means I'll miss out on legit complaints, but quite frankly anyone the right hates that much can't be all bad, in my book.

The right hates her because she's better at sucking up to Congress's Wall Street overlords than any other Democrat, which makes her legitimately dangerous, politically speaking.

see this reads to me like 'obama sucks up to his muslim overlords better than any other Democrat'

As far as I know, she's always wanted to raise taxes and she's always been in support of dodd frank, only criticizing it in the past for hurting small banks. Is it just that she's taken a ton of money from them, or are there policy positions she supports that don't go far enough?

We've more or less reverted to the low-level, ongoing violence that is inherent to a post-WW2 imperial United States. Bombing a few countries and having a small amount of ground troops in hot spots is as peaceful as it gets.

I like the repeated message from Republicans that Hillary Clinton would be a third term for Obama because Obama was a pretty good president and while he can't have a third term, it makes it sound like Hillary is a good choice. I prefer and will vote for Sanders, but as I previously stated Hillary has this in the bag.

Yeah growing income inequality is a problem that started on Jan 20th 2009. And that big recession(that I'm sure is Obummer's fault too) had no impact.

This is naive on multiple levels. Not that I don't want sanders to win, but Iowa is basically the free square in bingo. It doesn't matter at all who wins there, beyond the idea that it proves you have a ground game. New Hampshire is similar in that winning it shows you are a real candidate with real support. But imo even if Bernie wins both Iowa and New Hampshire, all that will demonstrate is that Hillary was more cocky then she is letting on. South Carolina is the first state that "matters" for the DNC.

Now if sanders wins those three convincingly, the Clinton will shot bricks and probably start screeching about emails and data-breeches etc, but I doubt she'll lose iowa.

anywho, i think there is a 12% chance you can literally buy an election. tbh i wanted to put trump at 0% because i don't think he could beat any democrat in the general, but he gets 7% on the possibility that he gets the nomination and then hillary gets caught pegging an intern who accuses her of assault or something
