ShamefurDispray Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I know it's vox, but I found this article really brings out some of the reasons why Trump is beating all the liberal expectations and doing so well. http://www.vox.com/2016/4/21/11451378/smug-american-liberalism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Republicans choked down the disasters that were the Mitt Romney and John McCain campaign. Trump is better than either on most issues that Republicans care about. Now you can ask whether or not Trump really believes in the issues he's running on. And it's a fair question. But I think it's obvious that a lot of the career GOP politicians don't. Anyway, time to stock up on beans and toilet paper. T___A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SergeantMatt Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 And holy shit, Bernie Sanders is now BEATING the Hillary-Beast in Indiana?!? 538 had Clinton at 90% chance of winning too, ha. The Clinton supporters I've spoken to all seem very confident about Clinton v. Trump, but if Clinton has turned a battle against a relatively unknown 74 year old Vermont senator who openly calls himself a socialist in America into this close of a contest, it does not bode well for her campaign strategy against Trump. If anyone can fail to beat Trump, it's Hillary Clinton. AdmiralTheisman, Donward, Sturgeon and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 538 had Clinton at 90% chance of winning too, ha Yeah. And they had Cruz ahead until a couple days ago. The Democratic polling seems to have been a bit more problematic in predicting than the Republicans. I'm not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SergeantMatt Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Yeah. And they had Cruz ahead until a couple days ago. The Democratic polling seems to have been a bit more problematic in predicting than the Republicans. I'm not sure why. Running theory I've seen around is that when the polls have Clinton ahead by a lot, her supporters get complacent and stay home, while the Bernie voters turn out regardless of the polls.

Sturgeon Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Anybody else get the feeling that we're in the same situation the Soviets were in in the 1970s and 1980s, where they kept electing geriatric war heroes, except replace "war heroes" with "pop culture icons from the 1980s and 1990s"?

Belesarius Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 So the populist blowhard beat the theocrat who felt he was ordained to be president to usher in the end times. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Also, all of the Ted based puns in the FARK thread. CastraTED ExiTED DefecatTED .... And on and on, ad nauseum.
