RedskinsFan44 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 This is why the GOP will win the next Presidential Election. REINCE PRIEBUS, RNC CHAIRMAN http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/02/24/preibus_unlike_the_democrats_were_going_to_let_the_voters_decide_our_nominee.html Seems premature to say the Dems have done any such thing. There was talk of it in 08, but it did not happen. Now if your saying the D establishment tries to give their favorite an advantage, I think it is pretty clear the Rs do the same thing. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if they adopted the super delegate system after this cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't seem to have a problem with the "torture" part, when W ordered it. (Heck, I wish I could be certain that it's not continuing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0crates Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 CNN called SC for Hillary at exactly 7:00. They're calling her the "heir apparent to Obama." :rolleyes I'm hoping the vote is a lot closer than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s0crates Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 CNN's coverage makes me want to vomit. You'd think she just won the general election the way they're talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s0crates Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Good win for Hillary, and I will be voting for her in the general...... If she wins the nomination, then I'll probably vote for her too, because she is the lesser evil, but she hasn't won the nomination yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s0crates Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 This is kinda depressing. I knew Hillary would win by a lot, but I was hoping it would be closer than this. It's just one state though. Still 46 states to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 This is why the GOP will win the next Presidential Election. I like Sanders a lot, he's my 1st choice, but the notion that the game is totally rigged is not accurate. Weighted somewhat in her favor, sure, but it was that way going in. Sanders has had ample chance to snag the momentum he needs. Yes, the media has been very non-compliant, but that's not exactly necessary. Cruz won Iowa by going to all 99 counties. Bernie had some moral victories, but after NH he needed true victories. The loss in Nevada, and especially if the numbers in SC hold, shows that while Bernie has a strong message, it's not quite enough to win the Dem nomination. The weight on the scale isn't enough to make Bernie lose Nevada and then lose SC by a 40+ point margin if his candidacy was truly strong enough to win outright. The voters are deciding the Democratic nomination. Unless there's a miraculous turnaround, the Superdelegates won't be necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that you'll be voting for Bernie! I don't think he's toast though. It's awfully early. Maybe that's wishful thinking, but the idea of Hillary vs. Trump/Rubio/Cruz is just too depressing.

Vote for him, talk to people. I'm not really liking the defeatist attitude though. Bernie will snag a few states on Super Tuesday (Vermont, Massachusetts, Colorado, maybe Oklahoma, Minnesota), and after that the map looks much better for him, provided his supporters aren't convinced to give up prematurely.

chipwhich Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Super Tuesday is Bernie's funeral. The scorecard in states will be 13-3 or something of that sort. Let the Hillary and Trump follies commence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of those donors, and it's worth every penny to me to try to take our country back from Hillary's donors. Sure it looks hopeless, but every political revolution, from women's suffrage to civil rights, looks hopeless at first. And the powers that be want us to think it's hopeless. Hell maybe it is hopeless, but we have to try. Anyway, it's my money, and it's not a waste to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have a decent shot at getting the nomination then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionary Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Just saw that Cruz released something like 9 years of his tax returnsI look forward to Hillary appointing Bernie to head the Fed.I kid, but seriously Bernie has and will probably continue to run a hell of a campaign and has energized people who often do not care to get involved in politics and brought important issues into play that were not getting a lot of attention and has done so with a mostly positive campaign. He has a lot to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
