Not Warren who is Bernie Sanders. Kholbuchar or Gillibrand represent Clinton values. But Deval Patrick would be picked with Clinton before any of those.

It's gonna be Castro first Latino Veep nominee

The Democratic party has truly lost their way with Hillary. Both parties are now terrible. Maybe in another 10 years the Republican party could end up the lesser of two evils.

The speech showed Trumps real persona.

Trump is a peaceloving humanist. He is also an isolationist and a protectionist.
He didn't mention any of that stuff like the wall, immigration and such, which we all know was never serious and is never going to happen.

He identified the enemy - radical Islam and about the others he said they could all be friends.
He said - no nation building from now on. Just stabilization.

He doesn't want to wage war and will do so only if absolutely necessary.
His last remark about the biggest threat in the world being the weapons shows his peaceloving and tolerant nature the best.

Let's be fair, Smith is probably a sock.

I thought it was pretty obvious from the beginning.

If so, who are likely suspects?

If smith didn't join AAD I'd say Hamilton.

FTR, I have sent PMs to some mods about whose sock I believe Smith is.

Trying to group Minnesota in with Wisconsin is even less useful, because Minnesota was a closed caucus and Trump performed way worse. The difference is incredibly marginal.

Minnesconsin is a very real thing. It may as well be one state.

2018 and 2020 will determine redistricting for the next decade. That will got a lot worse under a Hillary Presidency.

Right, because having the Supreme Court stay in the hands of Republicans who will keep f**king up the Voting Rights Act is totally what the country needs.

A probable Republican Supreme Court Justice is a small price to pay for a president not beholden to lobbyists and corporations, as Hillary would be. Besides, it's not like Trump could pick anyone much more conservative than that filth Merrick Garland.

Pretty much everything in this post is dumb, but the Evan Bayh bit and the REASON for it just stands out:

I hope not. Klobuchar doesn't do anything besides satisfy the "labor progressives." Franken unites the party and provides a strong personality. Wyden and Merkley unite the party, appeal to libertarians, and can attract libertarian-leaning centrists/independents. Bayh or Ray Tomblin brings the Conservative Democrats back into the coalition and holds onto some of Sanders's Midwestern labor support. Booker, Heinrich, and Brian Schatz provide new faces for the future of the party in 2020/2024/2028. Mike Michaud and Brian Schweitzer attract libertarians, isolationists, left-libertarians, and unify the party's establishment, moderates, libertarians, and progressives.

IMO, Michaud or Franken would be the best pick besides the "young good speakers" group. Either one would provide a nice balance to the ticket.

Add this stipulation to the national GOP rules:

"In the week immediately preceding the Iowa Caucuses, the RNC chair may unilaterally demand that up to three non-suspended candidates being regularly included in the national polls leave the race immediately. If the candidate or candidates commanded to leave do not leave, they will be ineligible to receive any delegates, and any delegates they would have been otherwise eligible to receive will be reallocated to the other candidates or to uncommitted according to each state's delegate allocation rules."

The RNC chair could have used this to boot out TRUMP, Cruz, and Carson this year. The other 9 candidates who ran in the Iowa caucuses were either sensible republicans or hopeless candidates.

lololol the implications of this.

I mean, it's a terrible post, but what are the "implications" other than the destruction of democracy?

Does there need to be anything else?

Two separated by only one post, form the same thread:

Well maybe if Natives placed more value as a culture on education and not being trash this wouldn't be a problem. And yes I would say the same for poor whites in the Southeast before you predictably try to play that card.

If Rez life sucks so hard, why do they stay?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

about the same maybe a bit better becuz whites in minnesota/wisconsin and my state will swing HARD against Trump but he will do MUCH better with reagan democrat whites in states like maryland, delaware, pennsylvania, rhode island, and new jersey. i think illinois will be a swing state this time.

Can we ban ShadowoftheAbyss?  He posted something with "pornhub" in the thread name (which also described it as NSFW) on the off-topic board.  Admittedly, I don't actually know what he posted since I didn't click on the thread (normal/not a pervert), but judging by the thread title, it's probably something horrible.

Then Election 2016 is over.

1. TRUMP did surprisingly well of the Minorities of SurveyUSA CA Poll
Total 1383 LV (Page 5)
https://cbssanfran.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/survey_usa_president_senate_052316.pdf

Hispanic(429 LV): TRUMP 35% | Hillary 51%
Asian(207 LV) : TRUMP 40% | Hillary 49%
Black(83 LV) : TRUMP 17% | Hillary 76%

2. if TRUMP gets similar Minorities Support at Nationwide,
Election 2016 it gonna be a landslide for him. something like

TRUMP 51.27% | Hillary 43.7% | Other Candidates 5%

if White voters: gonna be like TRUMP 60% Hillary 37% Other 3%

1) TRUMP
White(73%) x 60% + Black(12%) x 17% + Hispanic(10.5%) x 35%
+ Asian(3%) x 40% + Other(1.5%) x 40% = 51.27%

2) Hillary
White(73%) x 37% + Black(12%) x 76% + Hispanic(10.5%) x 51%
+ Asian(3%) x 49% + Other(1.5%) x 49% = 43.68%

I want to point out that Hillary extremists hacks are apparently  running the Atlas forum.  This thread/story should be in the 2016 presidential section.   It has Clinton foundation corruption all over it.   It was moved here to bury it.

Trump has always been saying that he will win NJ Pennsylvania and New York and put California in play.  How can you realistically see Trump win those states? I think that since ny is his home state and NJ has voted Republican in gubernatorial elections in 2009 and 2013 he might have a chance.

   One wildcard is the Hispanic vote in the urban areas in NJ and NY. These areas are dominated by machine politics like Hudson County in NJ.

Pennsylvania has always been struggling with job outsourcing and it has mines and steel. These people are fertile ground for Trump especially since Trump is a protectionist.

Roseanne represents the average Bernie voter.  This should be concerning for Hillary.

What is Christian hardcore? For that matter, what is hardcore music? Just heavy metal?

I know I'm going to be dismissed as a loony leftist or something, but I believe that nobody should be allowed to own a gun.

Why do people own guns?

Self-Defense: Your bedside gun to protect yourself from an invader is more likely to end in an accident involving you shooting yourself, than in the protection of you. Not nearly enough crimes are prevented by people because they have guns to make this argument reasonable. So many people are shot by toddlers each year that it's really hard to justify this.

Hunting: Animal cruelty, and it's completely useless. Nobody hunts for food in 21st century America.

I look forward to arguing with someone over this.

does not belong here

" Nobody hunts for food in 21st century America." is a very false statement.

Islamist is just an adjective for Islam as far as I know.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Polls in June mean nothing. Just wait until the GOP smear machine rallies behind their racist leader and starts to blame everything on Hispanics and blacks.

Write-in unless Hillary picks Warren as her running-mate.

Dude, you seriously want to live with President Drumpf? You don't even have the excuse that your State won't be in play.

No, a write-in does not equal a vote for Trump.  I don't like Sanders that much and Hillary is even worse.  If the Democrats want my vote, they should've run someone worth voting for.  I don't need an excuse for casting a protest vote, it's a perfectly legitimate use of one's vote.  I have an open mind and want to be convinced that Hillary's not as bad I think (obviously Trump is way worse, but that's beside the point), but that hasn't happened yet.  So with all due respect, folks like BRTD, Bedstuy, and yourself can take your entitled, patronizing whining and stick it where the sun don't shine  The Democratic Party isn't entitled to my vote and neither is Hillary.  

Try making a case for Hillary.  It'd also be nice to see her supporters acknowledge and address the legitimate concerns about her (such as her hawkishness, her use of race-baiting, the e-mail scandal, etc) instead of just acting like she's the messiah.  FTR, I do think she has to deal with far more crap than many politicians due to the fact that she's a woman, but there are plenty of legitimate criticisms that her supporters seem unable or unwilling to address.

Its no more nativist nuttery than it is anarchist nuttery.  The country gave the left a chance in 2008 after being shut out of things for most of the 00's and 8 years later where has it gotten them?  The country is more racially divided and economically depressed than ever before.  The left has went completely insane, are we really throwing eggs at others exercising the right to free speech or in some cases shutting it down altogether ?    Tell me I didn't just see that?  A Muslim terrorist kills a room full of people and the lefts reaction is to blame law-abide citizens.

You guys shouldn't be worried about this election because you have successfully took control of the propaganda machine known as the media(social too) and entertainment that also delivers leftists propaganda.  Get use to a very divided country for the rest of your lifetime most likely.

Pawlenty was a good Governor who shifted right for the primaries, but O'Malley's efficiency makes him a bit better.

Pawlenty is one of the best anti-establishment Republicans. He flip flopped for 2012, but he was efficient and I can easily understand admiration of him, just like I can understand admiration and support of people like Gingrich, Mitch Daniels, and Rand Paul.

What's wrong with this?  Was Pawlenty a bad governor?

Oh yes, he was f[inks]ing horrid. Also he was not in any way shape or form "anti-establishment".
