And why aren't they running independent campaigns now? Where is Paul Ryan? I don't have an answer. I'm curious what you (or almost anyone else) think(s).

I agree that she has a very difficult public personality to swallow. But her experience relative to any other candidate's in this year's field is unparalleled (not even close), all the more so versus Trump.

Trump just manipulated the uneducated white male who believes anything related to government should sink to the bottom of the ocean. Yelling big shiny things and building huge walls resonates with a lot of really ignorant people who feel disenfranchised. Don't ask me why they relate to a billionaire who sits in gold chairs. I think they are duped into thinking they'll be just like him success-wise. It's all so surreal that I'm not sure sane people can wrap their heads around it.

Politics in his country are just a reality show now. Asking why Trump beat those other people out is akin to asking why the Khardsahian show is so popular.

So, would you estimate that they started packing it in a year ago? There was not a decent Republican candidate in the field. Not one. That list of names is a steaming pile of elephant dung.

Is there someone sitting out this year's campaign who would have been a decent candidate? If so, who? Is that person this year's Jeb Bush, sitting out on his/her opportunity (as Jeb did in 2008 and 2012)? And when 2020 comes will it be too late for them?

I agree that the GOP is more fractured than ever (worse than 1992 or 2008, perhaps as bad as the Democratic party after Carter/1980). I remember predicting this 10-12 years ago. It took longer than I thought it would, and I thought that the Establishment would distance itself from the Fringe Right, when in fact the Fringe Right has broken off on its own. But the net effect is the same. And while I also know better than to think that the GOP will remain in this weakened state forever, is the only option available for it to be the Obstructionist Party?

I actually voted Republican for the first 20 years of my voting life, but given what remains of that party, I can't ever see myself backing a Republican platform or, for now, a Republican candidate for the rest of my life.

I'd like to see at least 2-3 other parties form, at different points on the political spectrum, forcing coalitions to form in order to advance reforms and initiatives. Two parties make it too easy for an obstructionist party to stymie progress.

I'm not going to argue the rest of your points because I don't necessarily disagree with them -- just pointing out why the the Republicans aren't running independent at this point...

As for 2-3 more parties? I'd rather see political parties done away with and have individual candidates with original ideas instead of the popularity contest that partisan politics inevitably devolves into... Right now the party shapes the voter instead of the voter shaping the party -- that's not how democracy is supposed to work... I'm not sure if a slightly-wider variety of group-think is going to fix that.

Clinton Camp Formally Launches Republicans for Hillary Effort

Basically: "Bernie Sanders and the Progressive Left can eat a bag of dicks."

EricaLubarsky · 08-10-2016, 04:54 PM

I've said it for a while: the Right has pulled hard to the Right and the democrats have done the same. Democrats now are the Republicans of Ford or Eisenhower, while the FDR/JFK democrats are without a voice (other than Bernie). It's a sad state of affairs when a lot of Dems have no one that represents them and the conservatives have to choose between an insane pedagogue and a third partier with no chance of winning.

GermanDunk · 08-10-2016, 07:07 PM

Interesting. German state brainwash TV told, "Putin" had cracked Hillary´s mailserver, but they did not mention, that she sent with an unsecure client. Further interesting. They, as usual, sent the message only 2,3 or 4 x, then it disappeared.

"By nominating Donald Trump for president of the United States,” Rutherford said, “the Republican Party has abdicated its role as a serious political party ... and transformed into the world's largest and angriest comment section.”

▪ 84 percent of those surveyed support requiring universal criminal background checks for firearm purchases

▪ 81 percent support barring firearm purchases by people on the terrorist watch list

▪ 77 percent support increasing the minimum wage

▪ 78 percent support allowing student loans to be refinanced at lower rates

These are the things that Bernie went on about, and it looks like they really is resinating in people.

Yeah, I'm still not sure how "don't let known-psychos and probable-terrorists have guns" translated into "don't let anyone have guns" in the mind of the GOP, but South Carolina (of all places) seems to get it.

And raising the minimum wage should be a class issue, not a partisan issue, so it's nice to see the quickly-growing lower class finally come to its senses and start voting for their own best interests.

Maybe Donald Trump running for president is exactly what America needs right now? It's almost as if the only way we're gong to pull through all the craziness he's created is to allow common sense back into our political conversations... Something that both sides have kicked to the curb over the last couple decades.

The United States is definitely implicit in the creation of ISIS, but it wasn't Hillary or Obama... It was Bush who dissolved the Iraqi military and effectively unemployed a bunch of people whose only job skill was being able to shoot a gun... Unfortunately for us all, ISIS was hiring.

But, yeah, we've been crafting our own boogiemen in the Middle East ever since the Cold War started.

Jack.Kerr · 08-16-2016, 09:47 PM

True or False: All Fascists lie alike.

Rudy Giuliani claimed that no terrorist attacks occured in the USA until Obama was elected President, seemingly forgetting the largest terrorist attack in U.S. history, which ironically briefly catapaulted Giuliani to national stature before the gravity of reality exposed Giuliani as a shameless, nutless, petty demagogue

Then Rudy claims that he didn't forget, but that he was just speaking in "abbreviated language". Which is like a lie without vowels or punctuation or facts.

Which is similar to Hair Furor calling for Russians to hack into American e-mail systems, or for 2nd Amendment "enthusiasts" to react to Hillary's election. And then to claim that he was speaking sarcastically, and never meant to suggest that she should be assassinated.

Be wary of a cowardly provocateur's clarifications that follow the formula: "I never said X, I only meant Y. How you could possibly conclude Z is beyond me."

Yeah, it's going to be a close election votes-wise. But for Trump to win the electoral battle, he has to win a blue state that is currently leaning blue. If he doesn't, then he is certain to lose...even if he wins every current battleground state.

Twitter is an unreliable source since those polls pass through personal networks, which tend to contain like-minded individuals... Not to mention that it's an international platform -- how many of those participants were even American?

RealClearPolitics is a much more reliable non-partisan polling tracker, but it can be a bit tough to decipher... Better yet is the New York Times tracker which breaks down all the national polls (Rasmussen, Pew, Zogby, etc) into a simple aggregate weighed on recency and sample size.

Spoiler alert: it ain't 50:50.

You mean, one democratic state would do ?

Yeah, that is a problem in a democracy in general. The rural areas can pick as they like, the densely populated areas will prevail. That matter is in the discussion in Germany as well, because some mean, the citizens elect the percentage only. ( A party that sends more directly elected representatives from the ~counties can add some seats in certain circumstances, which gives the direct vote more weight and strenghtens the "normal" areas a bit - until the representatives have add some kilogramm weight on the Lobbyists tables, of course )

Only the Britains taught London a lesson.

With no due process? Eventually all political enemies will be on the list with no way to get off.

Price controls don't work. Let the free market sort it out.

▪ 78 percent support allowing student loans to be refinanced at lower rates

Student loans are the reason tuition is so expensive. Also, if you can't afford the loan don't get a sociology degree that doesn't pay.

▪ 53 percent support legislation protecting LGBT South Carolinians from discrimination in the workplace, housing, and public accommodations

There is no need for FEDERAL legislation. The federal government needs to but out of decisions that should be left to the states.

He lost the 5 Utah lawmakers with his p*ssy comment alone... American patriotism is central to Mormonism -- they're not about to piss off GOD by electing a "p*ssy grabber" to be a role model for their children.
