2016 Presidential Election Thread

See my earlier post showing her popularity dropping in key swing states. And we're still a full nine months before the Iowa caucuses.

And the only poll that actually means anything is the one on election day.

Actually, no, since most of the people we'll discussed in this thread won't make it that far.

Lemme guess - you're a Rubio supporter because he's pretty. Nothing homoerotic about that.

You ever going to answer this?

I'm for rand Paul. Perm and all.

His tax policies have been devostating for MD. The rain tax included. Is he taking a page out of The Beatles song "Tax Man"? What's next, they tax the air?

It sounds an awful lot like you're just blindly riffing off of the name and don't actually understand what the phrase refers to.

Rubio's speech according to CNN...

Yep. It's something he heard the adults say (probably yelling back at the TV) and thought it was kewl. No concept of what it means.

A computer security expert examines the websites of the Presidential candidates.

I am not surprised.

Ted Cruz didn't put up a server hosting vital US national security data that was hacked by the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and North Koreans. Hillary did that, and Obama let her do it.

I think it is fair to say large parts of the left actively dislike Hillary Clinton. I know I won't vote for her.

Why do you lie? There is so much of substance to dislikke Hillary for so why do you always just spew the most transparent lies?

Legally, but you'll probably be able to call the result weeks early if FiveThirtyEight keep to their track record.

Because he's utterly incapable of telling the truth? Face it, his lies are pathological.

It's weird; he's not even a bullshitter, someone uninterested in the truth of his statements who will say whatever is to his advantage. He's just a liar, someone who never tells a truth even if it would help him out. It's an odd sort of troll.

I do not want to vote for a person like Hillary, but I am forced into a position to do it. Personally I would love someone better. Unfortunately due to the reality that human shit votes a lot, and when they do they go republican all the way, I am forced to have to put in a vote for "not as bad as the republican clown" candidate which unfortunately looks like Hillary this year. McCain Almost had me way back when I thought his marbles might still be there, and before his VP choice, but then came palin and I was not going to risk him dying and her being in charge. What other reason would we have to vote for a half term senator running mainly on his race an a obvious lie.

Still, who are you going to vote for aside from her (Given she makes the primary)
Are you going to not vote and allow one of the republican clowns into office without opposition? I would be all for that option if there was a good republican option. As it seems they are going full retard this election and even the lame offering of Mittens Flip FLop Romnifeller is not going to make the primaries.

Please do tell me of another option because I really want another legitimate choice. I am pretty sure whoever is in charge of the world is running bat shit insane republicans just so that they can run whoever they want on the democrat side and people will vote for the dem out of fear, and yes I am fucking afraid of a ted cruz, rand paul, or rufio presidency.

Edit.
Yes, I know I put in this year and the election is not until next year, but my fingers have wishful thinking, and I cannot bring myself to edit it. Since many right wing people have their bubble, please let me live in mine for a while.

You could also vote third party.

I could also pound my dick with a hammer, but it would not be very useful.

No, but that doesn't matter. They will get pretty much the same votes every election just because they are Democrats.
Some voters may vote Republican one election, Democrat the next, depending on the issues and the character of the person running.
But generally once you go Dem, you never go back. Or more likely, you are "born into" voting Democrat so it's all you know.

Pound your dick? But I thought you were a.................well you know...........forget it. I see what you're saying though.

It's funny because it's true:

Republicans looking forward to using less racism, more sexism

WASHINGTON D.C. - In the wake of Hillary Clinton’s announcement that she will be running for President of the United States of America, many Republicans are relieved that they will be able to stop using some of the racist rhetoric used to attack President Obama, and make the switch to overtly sexist remarks in order to appeal to their primary voting base.

“Hillary Clinton officially running is a breath of fresh air,” said RNC deputy vice-chair Robert Gilligan.

“For almost eight years now we’ve had to rely on thinly veiled questions about Obama’s citizenship and him “being different” than the average American. Now we can look forward to finally switching gears with thinly veiled questions about the time of the month or her “emotional state.”

On Twitter, many Republican voters have consistently attacked President Obama for years, making full use of America’s free speech by employing words like “monkey”, “coon” all the way to “ni**er”. With Clinton’s announcement, the base has shifted the public discourse online to include words like “Ice Queen” “Crazy Bitch” all the way to “C*nt.”

Gilligan went on to say that there is a legitimate question of whether or not Hillary Clinton “has the stones” to be America’s Commander-in-chief.

“Would you want Hillary Clinton answering that call at 3:00am? Will she be able to handle it or will she have a headache?”

At press time, Republican voters who once asked Obama to release his birth certificate were busy embracing Canadian-born Ted Cruz.

It's a sad state of affairs when the Canadian Onion has better analysis of Clinton's official entry into the Presidential race than pretty much all major news sources.

This is actually one of the major reasons we have the problems we have in politics and governance. Idiots who vote solely on whether it's a "D" or an "R" in front of the name.

A former adversary says Rubio nailed his presidential launch

Im sure Rubio is going to do his best in running for the vice presidency.

Even I sometimes vote for a Republican (though I vote third party more often). I voted for the Republican mayor's candidate during the last election as he was socially liberal and concentrated mainly on city services issues.

He is definitely sounding the most sane of the Republican candidates so far and while that would help him in a general election it will hurt him with the Republican primary voters.
