2016 Election
Quote: RonCI don't think Hillary is the kind of candidate who can "kill" anyone in the election this fall. Can she win? Certainly. There are just enough negative feelings about her to make it by a huge margin.
She would "kill" Trump.
She knows it too. She's been hitting him hard lately.
Not my fault though. Hillary is not the strongest candidate either. But also not my fault either. I'd rather have our problems than yours.

Quote: TwoFeathersATLMatthews is a hack. He asked, if abortion were illegal would you support punishment for a women that got an abortion. Trump said yes. OK, there is a law, if someone breaks the law do you think they should be punished? Had he answered "no" I would be very disappointed. Not a Trump fan, don't get me wrong, but the spin from the anti-Trump camp may wind up swinging me his way. Pissed off, big time...SOB's...
When interviewing for a job, one must be prepared and ready to answers ALL type of questions, including the "gotcha" questions. Matthews is doing his job, and this question about abortion ("gotcha" or not) must be asked of ALL job seeking candidates to assist voters in their decisions.
President of a country is a very important position, and for the POTUS position, it is the most important position in the world. Trump's answer to Matthews question was DELIBERATED and CALCULATED on his part to MANIPULATE his angry supporters and make them even angrier (he succeed in manipulating his angry supporter on the Mexican and Islam immigration issues). Trump "clarified" his answer later only after realizing that his answers had created much stir among the woman voters group and any HUGE lack of support from the woman voters group could/would preventing from becoming the POTUS.
IMO, this question about abortion ("gotcha" or not) should be posed to all GOP and Democrat candidates.

I totally agree
Its a good question
It exposes the illogical conclusion of pro lifers not to punish the Woman
You constantly hear the word murder from pro lifers
Well, on the pro-choice side, after the moment of birth, if a Woman kills, The woman deserves to be punished
Everybody agrees to that
On the pro life side, abortion Dr's are accused of murder.
If 2 people get together to discuss a murder
1 person does the crime
Both are guilty of conspiracy to murder
Same should apply during an abortion, conspiracy to murder an unborn between a woman and a DR
Its logic if you believe in murder prior to birth and that's why I am pro choice.

What about when a fetus is harmed during the pregnancy? I can see the how one could employ the logic of it being a non-person before birth and a person after, but why can the mom and doctor hurt the non-person and it be a crime for others to do it?
Of course, anyone who harms the mom should be punished...but is it another person she is carrying or just a blob of cells until birth?

Abortion is a very controversial issue because of the lack of agreement or clarity about whether a fetus is a human or just a fetus. And add to this lack of clarity, abortion has strong religious and moral implications.
One can considers a fetus as a person based on his/her strong religious and/or moral belief. And one can say a fetus is not a person base on science(???) or other reasoning ...

Trump's the one we've all been waiting for. Just wait until our nation has been cleansed.....then you'll see.
Would be interesting. Hillary probably beats Trump. She would smoke Cruz. But I think Kasich beats her. Ryan, I'm not sure.
But, by selecting Ryan or Kasich over the more popular candidates, Republicans will piss off a lot of their supporters. I assume it would be unprecedented for Kasich to get trounced in the primaries, then wind up prez.
Anyway:
If one takes the view that the Republican Nominee can only be the candidate who earns the most delegates from the primaries, there is a rare opportunity to make money. Either Donald Trump or Ted Cruz will certainly emerge with the most delegates, yet their combined rating on the Betfair market is only 80%. Spread a £100 stake proportionally at respective odds of 1.49 and 8.00 now and, when one of that pair is confirmed at July's convention, your return will be £125.

"If Hillary Clinton agrees to be interviewed by federal prosecutors, "it will be very easy for them to trap her," Judge Andrew Napolitano said on "Fox and Friends" today.
"If she lies to them, even though not under oath, it's a federal crime," he said. "It's the crime Martha Stewart went to jail for.""

You may think that I want her gone from the race. Yes, I do want the Democrats to run, but I see Sanders as a much more dangerous President than Hillary. He has a decent level of support and polls well against the potential Republican candidates. The Republicans are a hot mess; we'll see how well it cleans up by the summer!! All in all, I am liking this election less and less...

It's looks like such a lose-lose situation at this point.
Choice 1 - Donald Trump is the nominee. His unfavorables at the moment with women, independents, young people, blacks, and Hispanics would point to a historic loss. Such that GOP insiders are already worried about losing the Senate and the House (which is almost unthinkable).
Choice 2 - Trump has the most votes/delegates, yet the GOP manages to steal the nomination from Trump at the convention and picks a more "electable" candidate like John Kasich or Ted Cruz (the fact that "Ted Cruz" and "more "electable" are used in the same sentence shows just how crazy this election is).
I'm more interested in Choice 2. If that happens, Donald Trump will want Hillary to win in November. He will want to go around for the next 4 years saying "I could have beaten Hillary!" (similar to how he already claims he could have beaten Obama in 2012 had he actually run). If Cruz or Kasich beats Hillary in November, Trump is irrelevant and it doesn't matter that the GOP stole the nomination from him because they will have gotten what they want - a GOP victory.
Quote: IbeatyouracesReligion will be the end of humanity. It's the worst thing ever created by humans.

And before we had religion we had the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, and how did that work out for us?
Not espousing any specific one here, but would suggest they have added order to the chaos of what was before, albeit opposing orders as we see now.
Categorical statements like this one promotes what the author of the statement is opposing.
Good luck with that.

This is the outcome I'm hoping for, as it would make me the most money. But also, it would be pretty interesting.
Trump supporters would not have an "all's well that ends well" reaction to this, as they do not believe someone like Cruz, or especially Kasich represents them.
Bernie supporters, many of whom will refuse to vote for Hillary, will believe that he could have won. Hillary supporters will blame Bernie supporters for not submitting to their hideous witch queen.
I'm fairly certain that this break is permanent with the Democrats. I think it might be with the Republicans. But if Trump runs and gets buried, it might have a lot less longevity than if the nomination is stolen from him.
Quote: RigondeauxBut, by selecting Ryan or Kasich over the more popular candidates, Republicans will piss off a lot of their supporters. I assume it would be unprecedented for Kasich to get trounced in the primaries, then wind up prez.
I think this will be the outcome and it will be Kasich. Cruz gets crushed by Hillary and I think it is a stretch for Ryan/Romney to enter at the point of the Convention. Kasich's star is rising as the only reasonable option on the Republican side that has a chance in the general election and if they are going to "steal"/"steer" the nominee away from the delegate leader at the Convention, it only makes sense to do that with a Candidate that can win.
Cruz has zero chance and the Donald is going to go down in flames over the final 2-3 months of primaries over this abortion/nuclear and other comments. Kasich will draw from the middle.....the right & far right won't have any other options come November...I suppose the conservative vote may just stay home, but I think the "anybody but Hillary" cry will resonate even if Kasich isn't conservative enough to be their choice, particularly if the polls say he has a chance of beating Hillary come late October. The vitriol for Hillary will get the right and far right to the polls.
All that said, the abortion issue could be the Achilles Heel for any republican candidate...again!!! The right simply has to get out of the way of women controlling their own bodies in an effort to give the rest of their agenda a chance....Pro Life positions simply lose in today's American. As illustrated by the Trump fiasco, Pro Life really doesn't have any answers to deeper questions in an "abortions are illegal" world.
Forget about the obvious, who do we prosecute for "murdering the baby"....What about do we prosecute pregnant women for smoking and excessive drinking while pregnant? Those both can harm the baby...how are we going to "monitor" pre-natal vitamins? Those are best for the baby's good health!! What about those darn CO/WA "mothers to be" that light up a bowl of weed on the weekend? Is that a crime as well? None of those, by the way require a doctor to be involved so there is only the woman to "go after". Very tough questions are going to have to be answered in an overturned Roe v Wade world....I just don't see it happening, so move on if you want any of your fiscal conservative, smaller government, etc. agenda items to ever gain traction. Or hang on tightly to that Pro Live position and watch the GOP become more and more irrelevant.
"I think you should have less bankruptcy protections!" isn't a very compelling campaign point.
My guess is Hillary/Democrats and Kasich/GOP have very different approaches to those real issues and that is where they should be spending political energy and our collective intellectual capital.
War/defense/ME boogie men: Keep bombing them so they keep bombing us so they can keep selling bombs.
Immigration: More or less open borders. Workers with no rights to be exploited by their friends. Strain public resources for the lower half.
Healthcare: Corporations are the first concern, citizens are an afterthought.
Education: Private lenders come first. No plans for dealing with the tuition fueled by out of control administrations. All non-rich kids will have to become indentured if they want a higher education.
Federal deficit: both parties spend/borrow a lot. Seems to be worse with Republicans, though.
Kasich voted for NAFTA and to repeal Glass-Steagall.
Just in time to take a job with Lehman Brothers as a Managing Director.
Now, Barron's wants us to believe he will actually follow through on his economic plan.
If this ever becomes a two person race, his opponent will mention this and his record as Governor, of slashing education spending, extreme anti-choice legislation, tax breaks for the rich and his support of Common Core.

Hey, give Kasich some credit, Brownback of Kansas was elected in 2010, and he managed to make things worse.
Quote:In an op-ed dated May 2014 in The Wall Street Journal, titled "A Midwest Renaissance Rooted in the Reagan Formula", Brownback compared his tax cut policies with those of Ronald Reagan, and announced a "prosperous future" for Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri, by having elected the economic principles that Reagan laid out in 1964.[76]
The act has received criticism for shifting the tax burden from wealthy Kansans to low- and moderate-income workers,[77] with the top income tax rate dropping by 25%.[78] Under Brownback, Kansas also lowered the sales tax and eliminated a tax on small businesses.[78] The tax cuts helped contribute to Moody's downgrading of the state's bond rating in 2014.[79] They also contributed to the S&P Ratings' credit downgrade from AA+ to AA in August 2014 due to a budget that analysts described as structurally unbalanced.[80] As of June 2014, the state has fallen far short of projected tax collections, receiving $369 million instead of the planned-for $651 million.[81]

Politics has morphed over the last 50 years from solving mundane problems and making future plans to a grim gridlock of accusations and outrage. The point of electing popular candidates was in part about their vision but also about their ability to work with all sides towards a common goal. Where the hell did that go?

This was still fresh in the minds of the Democrat voters in 2008 when they rejected her.
Now, she knows most people have forgotten.
The Dems are just as bad...Bernie has less of a chance because of super-duper delegates put in place to...you guessed it...protect the establishment. The only positive thing I can say about that is that those were in place before the election cycle started, but they still taint the process. I am sure they can play rules games at their convention, too.
I am not saying that Trump should win just because he is ahead even if he fails to reach the magic number, but why can't the rules for how then nomination process will work be established by the party before the first ballot is cast? They could have reasonable rules that allow for someone other than the leader to win if that person does not have the required majority, but those rules would be defined. Then each candidate could employ the best strategy to be in contention at the convention. How can you consider someone like Ryan who has not been vetted as the rest of the field has?
I'll have to read more about the Democrats, but I am not sure Bernie even had a chance from the beginning...

Oh well

In sports, its about the best team, a convention the best candidate
In sports you can dominate the 1st half of a season then barely play 500 the rest of the way
Yea you finished 1st but you really not the best team playing at the end of the season
Therefore playoffs to see who is best
Should be same after 1st ballot
Fresh start, 2nd season, delegates beholden to nobody
Pick the best candidate
