It's pub night. But reality is moving closer to my prediction of a Mondale-like smackdown. I could run an unknown third-world dictator against Dumpy Drumpf and still slide to a solid victory. I could rip off this whole plot and win.GORDON wrote:Hilarious.

Sofa king funny.
It's kind of exciting to be seeing either the end of the Republican Party (as it currently exists), or the end of the American presidential election process, in general.

He was the R, right? I don't even know.
Kasich was still in the running believe it or not, but he dropped out today.
This seems like Trump is THE guy now, but the Republicans could still screw him over at the convention.

Re: 2016 General Election Thread
#dropouthillary is trending massively.
Bernie Sanders supporters have this hashtag making national news. Remember how much of a circus the GOP primaries were? It seems now that Trump is the guy, the Dems are trying to get all the headlines. Bernie has no chance of winning, but won't drop out and now his supporters are trying to get the front runner to bow out. Hilarious.
Despite people making jokes about it, I think Trump has a legit chance of beating Hillary. She is NOT going to get young people to vote for her like Obama did. It seems like more people will be motivated to vote for Trump due to the anti-established politician thing.
A friend in my golf league has a theory that Trump is the smartest guy in the race. I laughed, and he said, "Think about it. He dipped his toe in four years ago just to get people talking. Now he's jumped in with both feet. He's been saying the most preposterous things to grab every headline. You never heard about any other candidates. Now that's it's over, he's promising to soften his stance and he hasn't been in the news lately for saying dumb things." I just said, "I hope you're right and he's smarter than he's acting."

Not even close.Trump has a legit chance of beating Hillary.
David Icke has a theory the world is run by lizard people who came from space and now live underground. I put equal credence in both.A friend in my golf league has a theory that Trump is the smartest guy in the race.

Re: 2016 General Election Thread
You say that, but the average polling only has her ahead by 6.5 points.Not even close.
To be fair, asking you about an unbiased opinion on Trump is like asking Hillary Clinton for an unbiased opinion on Trump. Not sure what he did to you, but your hatred for him indicates that maybe he slept with you and didn't call the next day or something.I put equal credence in both.
And "hate deny" him all you want, this election is going to be won by who gets their folks out to vote. Hillary is going to be very, very weak in that regard. I think Trump has a legit shot at beating her.

As I've always said I don't give any fucks but I am now betting against malcolm just because he is so cocky about how sure he is that he knows the outcome.
