Sanders makes stupid comments about GE, fires back.
"It's easy to make hollow campaign promises and take cheap shots in speeches...but U.S. companies have to deliver for their employees, customers and shareholders every day," Immelt said. "GE operates in the real world

I sure hope he did a mic drop after that

Immelt was responding to Sanders' claim that GE is "destroying the moral fabric" of America by shutting down American factories, shipping jobs to China and Mexico and minimizing its tax bill.
"That is greed and that's selfishness. That is lack of respect for people of this country," the Democratic candidate recently told the New York Daily News editorial board.

The moral fabric? Fucking please. That shit sounds tired when the psycho fundie evangelists use it.

T-shirt idea since it looks like we'll be having a Clinton v. Trump throwdown one way or the other.

Front, left: Picture of Hillary with a caption above: "Too much of a pussy."
Front, right: Picture of Trump with a caption above: "Too much of a dick."

Back, left: Picture of Hillary with a caption above: "Too much of a dick."

I really will be surprised if it's Trump. We'll have to see if he can get close to the 1237 delegates. If he's not close he won't be able to close the deal. Cruz has been running circles around him with grassroots organization and working the delegate process.

Best comparison I saw was picture of Trump and Clinton and underneath pictures had Pro: Not Hillary. Con: Trump and vice versa for the other,

On GE I will say that I fucking hate them as well. They lobbied hard for the banning of the incandescent light bulbs so that they could provide the higher cost mercury bulbs that they were already manufacturing in China, That was crony capitalism at its finest. I buy the more expensive LED bulbs to ensure I don't give GE money.

They can eat a dick.

GE's done more for the US than Obama ever did, or Sanders ever will.

But yeah, I hated those CFL bulbs and avoided them as much as I could. Now I only buy LEDs.

Agreed. GE can eat a dick. Sanders and Obama can eat a dozen dicks.

“I cannot help that the Donald Trump campaign does not seem capable of running a lemonade stand,” said Cruz, who later called Trump’s campaign “a Kim Kardashian reality show.”

“What if the delegate selection doesn’t represent the will of the people in that particular district or area?” Hannity said.
Maybe the people should get a new party or new candidate.

Haven't been able to stomach listening to him (Hannity) for some weeks.

He was the R, right? I don't even know.
