Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

I have no clue what you're objecting to. It's not the electoral college. The delegates are proportionally awarded. I bet you wish yours were next week.

 

That's true, but he won by a little and she won by a ridiculously large margin, so she gets almost half the Michigan delegates and almost all the Mississippi delegates. It's hardly underhanded.

Depends on your worldview. Some pro-lifers are about as pro life as their circumstances, and are generally unsympathetic to poor parents who choose not to abort yet lack upper middle class means to raise their kids.

 

A question I've repeatedly asked my sanders supporter friends: why do the most downtrodden and poorest in their party tend to side, overwhelmingly, with Clinton?

Those discussions have been interesting.

 

Every post you write confirms why your new career is confined to yelling from the "FraudSeeker." You are the Ted Westervelt of politics.

 

It's more than that, and it's not as problematic as Tony makes it out to be.

As Gee pointed out, it is a replay of 2008.

Hillary wins states with a large African-Amercan vote overwhelmingly, picking up (nearly) all the delegates.

Bernie is winning his states much more narrowly, and so the delegates are split nearly evenly, even when he wins.

 

Right.

So what is Tony's objection?

 

Name recognition.

They're the least informed voters.

People make fun of Trump for stating the obvious, but Hillary also loves the poorly educated.

 

Misguided?

 

One more thing. According to exit polls, Clinton won a solid majority of registered Democrats last night in Michigan, but was swamped by Sanders among independents in the open primary. Florida, by far the largest state to vote next Tuesday, has a closed primary, Democrats (and Republicans in theirs) only. Illinois is open, Ohio pretty much open.

 

One of Bernie Sanders's college kids was passionately explaining that he supports a flat tax on Iowa night.
