You Dumbledore supporters need to give up and get behind Delores Umbridge for president, or Voldemort will win.

Hillary would be the most disliked presidential candidate in decades if not for Trump.

znModeratorI appreciate what you’re doing Z.
But I don’t buy in. Trump would be worse.
I’ve been putting up with LePage as governor in Maine. Worse is worse.
People can do what they want, and I won’t be trying to talk anyone into anything. So just saying for the record, worse is worse, and that’s how I personally line up with this.

I’m not doing anything. Other than pushing hard for Sanders up to the moment he is officially out of the running. After that, I have no plans, except to join in the push for the midterms in 2018. My state is not going to go to Trump in November. So I think I’m not likely to be placed in the desperate position of having to drink a quart of whiskey to work up the nerve to vote for Hillary, and then collapsing in sobs on the floor.
What’s this I hear about Maine doing away with super delegates, or forcing them to represent the popular vote?

No whisky should be wasted on Hillary.

MackeyserModeratorWe survived Reagan…
I’d be happy to vote Jill Stein and let it all fall where it may.
I’m less worried about Trump putting boots on the ground in Libya or Syria or fomenting further coups as she did in Honduras as the BEGINNING to toppling the left and center-left regimes in Central and South America.
I have SERIOUS concerns that because of the massive backlash to stop loss programs and the inability to retain troops that Clinton will enter us into a “muscular” fight against the Islamic State such that we very well may have to reinstate the Draft. More boots on the ground can’t be accomplished without it.
Is Trump a buffoon? Of course. Is he a racist? Sure, but any more than Reagan? However, we still have a Congress and a Judiciary as well as individuals in the Executive who won’t want to go to jail and as such, won’t engage in unconstitutional behaviors (no more than usual, anyway…)
Doesn’t mean I’d vote for him, but I’m not SKEEEEERED of him the way I’m supposed to be according to Hillary and the oligarchy…DLC…er…DNC…er…whatever.
I’m just not going to do it. I may not know the crazy that Trump is (again, not voting for him), but I KNOW the crazy and wrong that she is and I WON’T support that.
I mean, if she takes office, who wants to start the pool for how soon we’re “boots on the ground in Libya”? or “Number of campaign promises broken or blamed on Republicans in first 100 days”?
You can’t do drinking games with her, because say, if you use the word “consistent”, you’d be dead of alcohol poisoning within an hour if the irony hadn’t killed you first…

May 7, 2016 at 1:34 am #43537ZooeyModeratorDonald Trump is a crap shoot. Honestly, he is a loose cannon, and he scares me.
But there IS something comforting in the fact that absolutely everybody in the Establishment is scared of him, too. Seriously, if Hillary wants to reinstate the draft, everybody thinks, “Well, the situation must be serious.” If Trump wants to reinstate the draft, everybody thinks, “The damn man is crazy.”
Now, that may be a lousy example. My point, though, is that with literally nearly everybody skeptical of Trump in both parties… I mean…the guy has NO credibility. Everything he wants to do is going to be debated on its merits. You know? He doesn’t have blind henchmen in the congress that are going to march the party line. Republicans are tripping all over themselves to declare that he isn’t a Conservative, and Democrats aren’t going to have anything to do with him. In a way, the guy is almost pure in that sense. He can’t do much without congress signing off, and nobody in congress is on his team. The man is a catastrophe, but he is a catastrophe with both parties allied against him. And the more he fails, the more antipathy the Republicans garner, and the more open everyone is to Warren 2020.
Hillary, though, is going to get blamed by everybody for being a progressive when she is to the right of Ronald Reagan. I don’t need the damage to the brand. I don’t know. I am really conflicted. Voting Jill Stein seems Pontius Pilate to me in a way, but that is one possibility. Another is writing in Sanders. Another is voting for Clinton if the race is really close. Another is not voting for Clinton if the race is really close.
I don’t know yet.
In the mean time, I am working to get Sanders up to 60% in California.
May 7, 2016 at 5:31 am #43538MackeyserModeratorOne can only hope she’s indicted prior to the convention or better yet, Anonymous actually gets to her proper.
I shake my head how she says that 30 THOUSAND emails were mostly between her and her husband and her husband just recently admitted to only ever having sent TWO emails, he said what one was and it wasn’t a private email to his wife. So, who were the 30,000 emails to???
Cenk Uygur was saying that if James Comey really wanted to screw Hillary, he’d indict her on the last day of the convention… After everyone finally either made peace with Hillary or walked away…BOOM. No post convention bounce…
Course, that presumes the wheels don’t come off between now and July with Trump fighting dirty on one side, the RNC and all that money taking basically free shots on a second side because there’s a whole conservative #neverHillary deal that’s not down with Trump either. And then there’s Bernie slamming her from the left…totally on point on policy.
She can’t be more of an asshole than Trump and she can’t be more of s genuine populist than Bernie.

May 7, 2016 at 9:26 am #43539bnwBlockedHillary is a war mongering influence peddler. She wants a war with Russia. Trump says if Russia wants to fight ISIS then we should help them fight ISIS rather than antagonizing them.
