2024 Primary Results Thread

Well… it’s here. Primary season begins tonight with the Iowa Caucus. Trump will win most likely but will anybody make it closer than expected? This one is always wonky because of how it works with everybody in a room trying to convince everybody else to vote for their guy.

And just like that the AP has declared Trump the winner.

It's a travesty that fudge packer won. I guess 51% of Iowans are Maggots. Very disturbing.
Woe to you, oh earth and sea

Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

What's your angle? Haley looks weak after cancelling debate.

I agree with her. It is past time for Trump to quit dodging the debates and take the stage with the other candidates.

I think this is a fabulous idea. Trump doesn't want to be held accountable to a public forum, I don't see why the other candidates should. I think it's bold move.

I'll get flamed for saying this. But I see Trump's logic in sitting out the debates as long as he's so far ahead in the polls. Why take a chance of putting his foot in his mouth?

Because he won't. Look at how he's worshipped and defended on this board alone. There's a lot more around the country. Face it, he could kick you in the balls, molest your wife, empty your bank account, beat the hell out of your kids and they'd still go "BUT THE DEMOCRATS..." What does he have to lose?

I listened to an interview with a man who was choosing to vote for Trump over DeSantis. This wasn't a left vs. right interview; no left causes were communicated; this interview was right A vs. right B.

In a nutshell, the guy's only defense for choosing Trump was because he hates politicians, and Trump isn't a politician, so he'll vote for anyone who makes "the other guys" mad. What a f-ed up vision for the country's future, just vote in accordance with making people mad. Not one iota about how to make people's lives better or solving problems; just who can we make miserable.

Trump has no platform, he IS a politician, although he's just a troll who riles people up. That's his purpose. That's what he does. And he's good at it, much to society's detriment. We'll pay. And when I say "we", I mean even his supporters will pay.

Trump does have a platform, he stated it quite succinctly back during his CNN townhall about a year ago.

It's quite simple and to the point. Drill baby drill, deregulation and close the border.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

But he never did anything of the sort. You should write fiction. :smokin

I know you won't believe me, but I've voted for Democrats a lot over the years. I don't recognize the Democrats anymore. I'm not like my old buddy Ken Brown "It's the party, man! It's the party!" No, Kenny, it isn't. The Democrats I voted for were supposedly all about "sticking it to the Man" Now, it's do whatever the Man tells you, because the Man knows what's best for you. The Bush and Romney fans are no better.

No thanks.

People Just Don't Like Piling On

Unread post by Ben Zonia »

If I learned anything from PE, before a football was thrown at my head, caused a concussion, and I transferred into a school that exempted me from PE with another physical activity, I learned that people don't like piling on, in football, politics, the workplace, message boards, and anything else.

That is a big factor in Trump's support. Politicians, The Media, The Courts, The FBI, The DOJ, The UN, the WEF, The WHO, etc, are all piling on Donald Trump, and the true common people don't like it, the people who weren't fed royal jelly like queen bees, but are intelligent, worked hard, and are looked down upon by people who work for the government in some way at some level, election officials and corporatists at international conferences, and their middle management. These people are nothing but schoolyard bullies who throw metaphorical footballs at people's heads, trip them up in any way possible, and pile on.

That's why people support Donald Trump. If they drop all this crap, dismiss all criminal and civil charges, and otherwise stop piling on, his support would probably drop.
