US Presidential Election 2016: Sidney's Victory Lap

Anyone but that sicko Trump.

We’re all fucked if he gets the nod.

Trump clamped the shit out of Jeb Bush over his brother’s role in September 11th and Iraq in last night’s debate.

Hilary already hinting that she’ll appoint Obama to the Supreme Court.

Trump has truly been a revelation for the Republican race. Just by being there he has completely upended any strategies that might have been in place beforehand. It’s great in some ways.

There’s little doubt that the Republicans are going to obstruct Obama in every way possible but they will look terrible in the process. And in the end Clinton might end up making the nomination anyway.

Longest time lately for appointing a judge has been 100 days and there’s 300 odd left till Bernie takes office,Obama has loads of time to appoint one if he want,but the dems might use this as a opportunity to fuck the Republican’s over with the electorate someway

All he needs to do is put forward a decent moderate who is qualified and the GOP will go into meltdown.

Sri Srinivasan. Was confirmed 97-0 in the Senate a few years ago for a seat on the DC appellant court.

The Trump surges seems to prove the idea that the Tea Party was based on anger rather than policy. He has very different positions to the likes of Cruz and yet he has taken a massive chunk out of their base. Trump is really just a flag waving populist and there’s no sound basis for predicting what his policies will be. But it seems to work for the Tea Party types. The subtle/not-so-subtle racism helps too I guess.

Whatever about Trump and whether he believes in half of what he says, Rubio and Cruz are the dangerous ones in this race.
Bush finally seemed interested last night.
Kasich seems the most sensible but never mind.

The Republican Party has no use for sensible right now.

Reagan appointed Anthony Kennedy to the Supreme Court in the last year of his presidency so the Republicans’ claims that Supreme Court judges are never appointed within such time frame are bullshit.

A very versatile beak doubling up as a Circuit Court Judge on the Midlands Circuit and the US Supreme Court for so many years.

Trump on an absolute roll here in a press conference in SC. Absolutely laying into Cruz, repeatedly calling him a liar and has promised a lawsuit against Cruz as he is not qualified to run (to do him a favor as the Democrats will do it anyway). If he does nothing else but knock out Cruz, which none of the other GOP candidates seem capable of, his candidacy will have been worthwhile. Big controversy over his “blaming” W for 9/11 but he has handled it well, simply repeating the (true) statement that it happened on his watch.

Good article here on the Clinton’s that also belongs in the great journalism thread http://www.thenation.com/article/hillary-clinton-does-not-deserve-black-peoples-votes/

Cruz campaign chair Rep. Streve King, who has spent the last 8 years calling Obama a liar, squealing now about Trump and how calling an opponent a liar is just wrong. It’s truly no wonder Trump is in the lead, the Repubs are such a pack of fuckwits.

Wrong thread

Bernie was in the RA.
