Of course, if Bernie thinks Hillary will just do whatever her donors want her to do, then he ought to go out and raise funds for her and downballot dems if he doesn't win this one, and make them beholden to all his holier than thouers. |

I assume he may care about more than just his own election, but maybe that's wrong so there's no point in helping other dems if/ when he loses. |

I was a Texan voting in a GWB election and was hoping to see the Greens break the % for federal campaign matching funds. I was pretty sure that Texas would be going red, in any case. |

If you actually believe this, you have completely lost your mind. I suspect that you have not lost your mind. You are spouting the same sort of shit that Naderites spouted in 2000, and anyone who would claim that the GWB administration did nothing different or more damaging than a Gore administration would have done has buried his head so deeply in his ass that he can lick his own stomach. |

Compare that to Trump or Cruz. Please pay particular attention to the 2-3 SCOTUS vacancies that the next President will likely fill, and bear in mind that the 3 oldest justices are Ginsburg, Kennedy, and Breyer. Who would you rather nominate the replacement for Ginsburg? (Not to mention the seat that is currently empty.) "Writing in the best person for the job" is a protest vote -- you are protesting the fact that the so-called best person is not actually in the race. An election is about choosing the better option. |

Yeah, President Clinton would be every bit as bad as putting a radical climate-change denier in the White House. Especially if the Republicans continue to control Congress. I mean, there is just no chance whatsoever that Trump or Cruz would roll back environmental laws. They'd probably be too busy repealing Obamacare and criminalizing abortion. How does your stomach taste these days? |

This election is weird. My distaste for every Republican candidate is so strong that it's hard for me to say I'm not voting against them. But I actually like Bernie and Hillary, warts and all. TM |
Re: Is Ted Cruz Satan? Discuss.
I have always been a bit of a Hamiltonian, and I thought this piece on 1800 and the #NeverBurr movement was interesting, given the current circumstances:

Re: Is Ted Cruz Satan? Discuss.
I know that I am the only one here closely following the details of the GOP primary antics, so here are today's developments.
1. Ted Cruz is trying to keep Kasich off the ballot in Montana. It appears the Kasich campaign may have screwed up paperwork in a third state. This is good for Cruz because Montana is a mix of moderates and libertarians who vote L, and no polling in the last year to indicate what is going on. 2. Trump's lack of thought before shooting off his mouth and lack of competent campaign staff is coming back to bite him. It seems the S. Carolina GOP is not pleased with his reneging on the pledge to support the GOP nominee at the CNN Town Hall. Given that S. Carolina already has some unfriendly structural issues for Trump (delegates only bound on first ballot and had to have attended the 2015 state convention), there is now a possibility that he may be subject to a challenge once the delegates are elected, releasing them on the first ballot and making them free agents (and generally unlikely to vote Trump). http://time.com/4278295/donald-trump...ina-delegates/ |

I don't think that Hillary will receive anywhere near the turnout that Obama did. I think that While Hillary's voters would pull the lever for Bernie, I am not certain his youthful followers would be as willing to come out for her in such numbers. Interestingly enough, a recent poll had Cruz over Hillary by 14 points with voters under 35, whereas she killed in younger voters against Trump by over 20 points. I think that Hillary loses some support if the Never Trumpers have an alternative. I concede the odds only have Rs winning the presidency at about a 25% chance now. The real tossup is the crazy stuff that can happen. Riots in Cleveland. How many ballots and how the nominee is picked. Rule changes intended to disadvantage someone. Kasich picking the president ( http://www.politico.com/magazine/sto...esident-213645). What really, really, pisses me off about Kasich is that no matter how much he says he's not trying to be a spoiler, literally the only chance he has is if Trump doesn't come to the convention with a majority. So what is Kasich doing in Wisconsin? Attacking Cruz. Seriously. He is inexplicably intentionally sabotaging his only chance at his stated goal [unless his real goal is to be Trump's VP]. It would seem more rational to put the ad $$ towards attacking Trump, no? [All speculative as Kasich has no chance on being on the ballot as he has no prayer of winning a majority of delegates from 8 states (or 6 under the pre-Romney rules), and that to be on a subsequent ballot, you have to be on the first ballot, but whatever, Kasich has demonstrated he has no concern for rules.] |
