2016 Election Clusterfun

...I'm kinda hyped. I was hoping that Cruz would pull it out and when Hillary smacked him down it would put a major damper on the Tea Party's argument for legitimacy and maybe, just maybe, we could return to inter-party relations that actually, like, exist. But otherwise, popcorn please.
That second video is basically why no one is going to tear her down. She is fucking immune to everything. That exists! And it existed before the first primaries! And it never even scratched her! People don't care about how hard she flip flops or outright lies. My personal theory is that the Republican party shot itself in the foot by going batshit crazy with bashing on her before there was anything worth bashing. Now there's plenty of stuff floating around and no one gives any shits because it seems like it's just Republicans doing Republican things.
Basically, the GOP broke its arms jerking itself off while their porn was still buffering.

It existed in a primary where it had an old man that yelled about the 1% and Jim Webb. It existed in a debate setting where most of the debates are run by companies that donate to Hillary and see her as a meal ticket. Bernie Sanders screwed up royally by trying to play softball with Hillary Clinton. As soon as he said, "Let's ignore the emails" - he ruined his chances. Why? Because he took on a "nice guy" persona to the general public. When he started swinging at Hillary, it didn't look like honest criticism. To everyone, it looked like a desperate man, trying to throw whatever would stick to her.
Take a look at it from a perspective as an average older voter, Sanders is a nobody. The news never reports about him and if you do hear about him, he's viewed as a socialist - a word that evokes the imagery of the Soviet Union. They could vote for Hillary who has associations with Bill Clinton, who was a fairly popular president until his unfortunate stain in history. The "Clinton" name carries weight and is more appealing to them.
If Hillary actually had competition in the primary, I am skeptical if she'd win. Go look at how Obama did in the primary. If I was a betting man, I'd put my money on a Trump Presidency assuming he doesn't get assassinated.
They've been bashing her since before the 80s?
They never could quite get that stain out of the carpet under the desk in the oval office.
Someone got the joke. ;D
Oh he's definitely gonna get absolutely fucked by some random group, that's for sure.
Though watch him somehow actually be a good president and never do anything his supporters want him to do, like that wall. I'd laugh if he's actually a decent president. I highly doubt it, but this is America we're talking about.
Wasn't all that subtle, you know.
I remember a lot of people saying the same thing about Obama and nothing happened. Just like I said when i was hearing that shit then, why the heck would you want to make this guy a martyr?
I don't want to make him a martyr. I even said hey, watch him actually end up being a good president.
The difference between Obama and Trump is that Obama was just doing what everyone else did. He wasn't really a different politician, he just happened to be black. Trump on the other hand actually is different and not for good reasons. If he doesn't surprise everyone by being a good president, he's probably going to antagonize the wrong country and start some shit we don't need to start.

Anyone smart or resourceful enough to carry out a successful attack against a presidential candidate (or president) would probably know well enough that it's not worth the effort because he'll turn into a martyr.
Except Hillary of course. I wouldn't be surprised if she tries to have him killed during this election just so she can finally be president.

Based on the official parameters that need to be fulfilled to justify a drone strike on a human target, Donald Trump would be easier to legally justify drone-striking than some previous targets have been.
(That's not actually a joke. The parameters are bullshit.)

If anyone has a chance of being a decent president out of the lot that was given, I don't see why it wouldn't be him. You can draw a name from a hat and it would probably work out better than the people that are being paid to get into the white house. At least Trump just seems to want to do it for his ego, not to accept private donations for weapons deals.
You never know, that's all I'm saying. Trump is a wild card that no one expected and if he wins, does well as president, enough to get re elected, then we're in for a rough, weird next 8 years where anything could happen.
But yeah, I don't think that Trump is guaranteed to be a bad president. Honestly, the president can't do as much as the general population thinks he can, so even if he's good or bad, at least it won't be any more so than the past few presidents we've had.
I would never vote for Trump and I really don't want him to become president mainly because he really is just doing it for his own ego rather than trying to do it for the right reasons, but all things considered, I could see him being a good president. I hate that he's stirring up so much shit and bringing the racists out and what have you, but hey, at least that's starting a good dialogue on how racist America still is.
