StrelaCarbon Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 On the bus today I heard two stoners talking about the election, and one of them referred to it as a "bad puppet show." Either the Aurora Avenue Addicts are getting more perceptive, or public confidence in the political process is just that low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike E Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 TLDR: Every candidate but Rand sucks. FIFY The Ted victory is a massive disappointment, for me at least.

I'd rather have Trump, at least he doesn't have a hate-boner for Putin. Ted spent alot of ground time in Iowa and they rarely pick winners.

Mike E Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Ted spent alot of ground time in Iowa and they rarely pick winners. Exactly, and I'm hoping that stays true. Maybe Rand can travel around some more so he can be better recognized. I swear though, if Bernie, Hillary, Cruz, Rubio, or Carson is elected, I'm packing up my backs and moving to Russia. Maybe Putin can run for the election here, he'd have my vote. Tied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tied Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Good thing about the Paul's is that they dont up and stop being congressmen once they lose an election. If anything Rands willingness to stay and do his job is costing him campaign trail time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being realistic about Rand's chances you'd be better off hoping Rubio or Trump get the nomination against Hillary so that a good 5-10% of the vote goes towards the Libertarian Party's Gary Johnson. I believe 5% gets a party national recognition and would likely advance libertarian ideas faster than Rand and his buddies trying to change the Republican Party away from being a watered down version of the Democratic Party but with more War and Jesus. I'll probably vote for Johnson regardless. I don't want my vote to matter too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.E. Watters Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.Ah, and now the phone will no longer be ringing off the hook with pleas from every campaign to come and caucus for them. Nor will I be inundated by calls from various polling organizations. I will have a brief respite until one of the parties has a presumptive nominee.

Sturgeon Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I have discovered that the great thing about not caring who wins elections is that they become much more fun to speculate about. The Democrats are largely fucked. They have two candidates, both of which I would assign a low electability quotient. Clinton has her emails and also shitloads of people who hate her guts, both in high places and low (why do you think she didn't win the nomination before?), and I'd be shocked if Sanders could flex enough to a more moderate position to win a national election. I think Sanders' message is too consistent, and he'll be unable to connect with a lot of people as a result. If Sanders is elected, that will majorly shift my view on how electable hardliner socialists are, and probably everyone else's, too. None of the Republican candidates are electable except Cruz. All the Republican Party has to do at this point is to nominate Cruz, and they will likely win, unless the Dems nominate a dark horse candidate. Cruz's arguments have gotten more polished over time, and he's gotten very good at working his party's base while courting constitutionalists and still remaining fairly appealing in general. Smart money right now is on Cruz and the Republicans, I say, but we'll see if the GOP is smart enough to do the obvious. Tied 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tied Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thing is. This has alot more to do with the GOP's base than the the establishment which of already chosen jeb 7 months ago if the choice was entirely in their hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 It would be funny if they chose Jeb. I doubt any Bush is electable at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike E Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Gary Johnson would never get 5%, hence the issue. I would hoping he would last time around. If not Rand, I honestly *prefer* Trump over the other repubs. I don't like his ego, I don't like where he stands on certain things, but his foreign policy is the only one that keeps us clear of WW3.
