Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

If Kristol predicts it, it doesn't happen. Has a perfect record that way.

 

22% go for Trump. 18% for Johnson.

 

Who would the theoretical candidate be? Kasich? I would think Trump has another week or two to show he can run a professional campaign.

 

I'm starting to see and hear evidence of this trend among my left-leaning friends. It causes me to surmise in a non-Dick Whitman way that in a high-turnout election, Trump might very well have a chance.

 

I love Bernie Bros. They supported Bernie because he was going to give everyone free shit - and, according to one of his Iowa supporters, he supported a flat tax. Now, though, they are swooning over Gary Johnson, who essentially advocates anarchy. I love Bernie Bros so much.

 

I'm not sure they're much different than Trump's hardcore supporters.

They believe that you've got to burn down the party to reform it.

Hillary keeps Dems in power, but she does nothing to bring change to the business as usual politics.

 

This is great. They hate Hillary, so they can do no wrong in your eyes.

They are dumbass college kids. That's what they are.

 

The "Bernie Bros" might be, but those aren't all of Bernie's supporters.

The Bloomberg article quotes a 43-year-old woman from Texas, a 52-year-old guy from San Francisco, and a 31-year-old guy from Baltimore.

None of them are Bernie Bros, and none are voting for Hillary.

The far left wing views themselves -- and Bernie -- as ideologically/politically pure. They see Hillary as currupt. They aren't going to vote for her.

 

They aren't the "far left." If they were the "far left," they wouldn't be voting for the libertarian. These are the political equivalent of the people who want everyone to know they only like the deep cuts on popular albums.

 

Yep, they know in their hearts that something is very wrong. They just don't have a clue about exactly what that is.

 

They aren't voting for the Libertarian because they think he'll win.

It's an anti-Hillary vote. A burn down the party vote.

 

I support his rebellion against the Bank of America, by the way.
