I know that this is the general consensus, but if you can't make it out of your own party's primary, how are you supposed to win a general election?Turkeytop wrote:Both parties are probably thinking right now, "If we only had a different candidate, we could win this election in a landslide."

Re: Prediction: Trump will win the general election.
Trump is at 1542 delegates. That is +305 over what is required. You really think there's a chance that not only do they get a rule change, but that over 300 delegates will jump ship? That is such a long shot that even sports books are no longer offering action on who will be the nominee. Denying Tr...

Re: Running mate possibilities for Trump
There are numerous unconfirmed reports this afternoon that it is a done deal and that Mike Pence is the choice.

Re: Bathroom of Choice?
So we've reached a point in time in our society where having rules which require men to use the men's room and women to use the women's room constitutes "punishment" ?

Re: 2016 Presidential Polls
Looks like Hillary took a good beating over the past week. National polling (7/9 - 7/13): Tie (CBS News/NY Times) Trump +7 (Rasmussen) Clinton +2 (Economist/YouGov, also note that it is Clinton +3 in 4-way race) Florida (7/9 - 7/11): Trump +3 (Quinnipiac) Trump +5 (JMC Analytics) Ohio (6/30 - 7/11):...

Re: Do all Lives Matter?
I find myself in an interesting and somewhat unusual position. *I am a 64 year old white male who grew up solidly "middle class" *I have a daughter and son-in-law who are cops, patrol officers in eastern Ypsilanti Township. *I attend a truly multicultural church. Our head pastor is black and who gr...

Re: Do all Lives Matter?
Do all lives really matter to a group that chants, "What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? Now!" during a march? This is a group that would be better labeled anarchists. A free society cannot allow its police forces or military to be attacked and cowered, for when that happens anarchy will...

Damn fine post and you make an excellent point. With visuals too !!! But would a bunch of customers get pissed off and protest inside the store if the store owner instead listed on the sign everything that the store sold? It is the backlash against the use of the phrase "All Lives Matter" that I ha...

Re: Do all Lives Matter?
..."black lives matter" doesn't say "only black lives matter". Why would you assume it does? Because they get all up in arms if somebody tweets that all lives matter. Per the article I linked in the original post: On Tuesday, in a quickly published-and-deleted move on Twitter, Jennifer Lopez posted...

So what's deal? Do only black lives matter? You certainly couldn't Tweet that white lives matter. You apparently can't even tweet that All Lives Matter. https://www.romper.com/p/jennifer-lopez-uses-alllivesmatter-with-a-lin-manuel-miranda-photo-people-freak-out-14141 It's so nice to see how much rac...

Re: I Might Be Able To Vote For Trump...
Latest Reports are that Trump is not really seriously considering Flynn. Trump claims to have it narrowed down to 5 candidates, with Flynn apparently in the #5 spot, so it likely won't be him. The other 4 are: Mike Pence New Gingrich Chris Christie Jeff Sessions I don't see Christie getting it, so I...

Re: LMFAO at Kmart!!!!
K Mart has operated poorly for a long, long time. I avoid them for one simple reason - the checkout process is PAINFULLY slow. Every single person that goes through the lane, the cashier first asks them if they have a rewards card. If they do, then the cashier asks if they'd like to use it. If they...

Re: I Might Be Able To Vote For Trump...
The Republican Party has gone even farther to the right... It's fractured into 3 competing wings that can't stand each other... It's not a good look. Whatever you may think about Democrats at least they are basically unified... I completely disagree that the party as a whole has moved further to th...
