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.

Mr Hootington posted:Don't worry Trump will close that gap when he progressively picks Condoleeza Rice as VP. Shoring up female, black, and establishment blocs of voters. Condi Rice would sooner light herself on fire and run naked down Broadway at rush hour than set foot in Washington again.

Put something in there about her being sold out to the man at the end and you can sell it to Salon.

SgtScruffy posted:Is Secretary of State Biden a possibility at all in a Hillary Presidency? I wouldn't see necessarily why they wouldn't offer it to him (pending him actually wanting to be in politics after being VP and with his family), it makes sense, but has there been any thoughts on why this wouldn't be A Thing? He's qualified, but I don't know if he's really interested in staying in politics after this term is up. I also don't know whether or not he'd like to be a part of a Hillary administration, it sounds like they disagreed a lot when they were both on the Obama team.

Grouchio posted:Any further news on the Republican schism? Is the brokered convention now useless for them? Unless Trump has a dramatic collapse or the GOP radically changes the nomination rules, there won't be a brokered convention now. Trump will walk in with enough pledged delegates to walk away with the nom in one round of voting.

Avian Pneumonia posted:What i'd really like to happen is for the establishment GOP to approach Sanders and say okay if we run one of our guys as a third party you can also run as a third party and we'll have a 4 way race. Please tell me all about how this will never happen and how Sanders really and truly basically can't ever be president and I should just start preparing myself for the fact that i'm going to have to vote for someone who supported the invasion of Iraq. Sanders wouldn't do that because he knows what the consequences of a GOP victory are and he knows that he can't win a race like that.

Radish posted:I'm having Sensible Democrats tell me that in the incredible off-case of Bernie winning the nomination (:arzy:) that they would vote Bloomberg as a protest vote since Bernie's economic policies are so disastrous. It's amusing to me that they are willing to help in this sort of really bad economic poo poo because socialism. These people are still whining about Nader and his supporters as well so the irony isn't lost on me. I'm hearing Bernie diehards tell me that Hillary winning forever shattered their gentle innocence about democracy and they're going to vote Jill Stein but don't care if Trump wins because we deserve it for not Embracing the Youth & Future of the Party. I suspect the common denominator from the two groups is that they're all white as gently caress.

David Brooks was a GOP insider back in the 90's, he might just know more than us. Edit: Wait, I'm thinking of David Brock. David Brooks is just that one guy who seems nice and smart sometimes but secretly has terrible opinions that make him compulsively vote GOP.

Radish posted:It seemed pretty obvious that once JEB flopped, barring some kind of shady convention quirk from Cruz, Trump was most likely going to be the last man standing. The entire field was an absolute joke and he was the only one that had any sort of momentum behind him. The others were just fighting for the not-Trump votes in the same way the not-Romney's did in 2012. I think initially everyone though that JEB would be the Romney of this cycle but it became clear that the base was done settling for an establishment guy that was just going to lose anyway. This time last year I was predicting Jeb v. Hillary. I got the Hillary part right, and in my defense no one could've called the crazy bullshit that did happen.

Honestly, I was just hoping that he would do damage to the GOP brand before he faded away because his trajectory seemed so much like the "not-Romneys" of 2012. I just underestimated the GOP base's determination to shoot themselves in both feet and their collective dicks.
