[POLL] United States Presidential Elections 2016

[Biggles]

Dr Biggles needs to thoroughly understand that the inward-looking nationalism and populism on prospect with a Trump administration means placing US interests well way ahead of the interests of the rest of the world.

That's based on the assumption that the United States isn't part of the rest of the world. Trump's information-challenged supporters would soon discover that this is a mistaken assumption.

BTW: It's Professor Biggles.

Oh boy...

 

[Tornado]

That was actually kind of funny. Completely insane, but funny. This is going to be a great election.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Oh boy...

I never say OMG, but OMG.

 

[mustafur]

Not if he has close fights with Cruz to the end. If Cruz keeps taking some delegates from each state he loses Trump many still have difficulty finding the rest. At least the math from media sources seems to hint at this.

However, as this shows it could also benefit Trump since Kasich is probably not going anywhere

This was the point I was trying to make and saw after Kasich's won and this is before I found the Vox article that explains it better than I can.

It's no surprise to me that the RNC would do this, hell they were unsure many times in recent history on their nominees and how much they fully encompasses what the RNC (not the American people) wants. I'm not saying Trump is better but they're doing plenty to hang themselves to dry and Kasich is a last ditch effort to put this into an overtime they control and not Trump's popularity.

It shouldn't matter, the vast majority of Winner take all states are coming up and if trump wins them by 1% he gets every delegate, yesterday Cruz only got delegates at North Carolina that's it, Trump got over 200 in the same time.

Monday's GOP debate hosted by FOX News has been cancelled because Trump turned down attending it and has also decided that there is no more need for debates.

 

[Adamgp]

The debate was announced just this Monday and Trump already had something planned. Kasich also said he would turn it down if Trump wasn't there.

After past Fox debates, I don't blame Trump at all for wanting to skip it.

 

[GTPorsche]

Found an article on it.

The best thing to come out of that is that Cruz called him "Ducking Donald".

 

[samurai8juice]

I don't wanna see Bernie or Hillary be President, and I wouldn't wanna see Cruz, Rubio, Trump, or Kasich as president.

Bernie and Hillary are too crazy for me. I really don't trust either of them.

Cruz is a Canadian vampire, Rubio can't be trusted, Kasich is too anti-union, and Trump is just a goof.

But I believe the next President will be Donald Trump; if the media can't stop him, and the GOP can't stop him, nobody can stop him at this point.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Bernie and Hillary are too crazy for me. I really don't trust either of them.

I wouldn't trust the one being investigated by the FBI. The other, well not sure where people get that he's untrustworthy. He's been in the headlines for stupid crap far less than the other two top candidates. In fact he's really only been in the headlines for one bad thing recently, which was last year, and it wasn't of his doing.

It's just his appearance. He looks like a crazy old man.

I mean some of his ideas are ok, but others I just dislike. I'd rather see him than Hillary, but that still isn't saying much.

Ok.

Seriously? I hope you're not old enough to vote.

Democracy!

Crazy and angry old man. I'd vote for Hillary in a heartbeat if it was a choice between the two.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Because voting for a possible criminal is so much better.

 

[Dotini]

In terms of our poll, why in the world is anyone still supporting Bernie Sanders?? Because they simply enjoy making a statement and throwing good money after bad? He is being stomped on, crushed and ground under Hillary's heel in the latest delegate count, and isn't showing even slightest sign of political viability.

And Rubio is out, and Kasich now hasn't even a mathematical possibility of gaining the nomination.

And finally, who is voting here anyway? I would assume it is only US registered voters. But I see nothing to assure me of that.

 

[CodeRedR51]

...and isn't showing even slightest sign of political viability.

Man this thread is full of comedy today.

 

[Dennisch]

Man this thread is full of comedy today.

Bernie is done. Sad but true.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Bernie is done. Sad but true.

Even so, I'm still voting for him next week. If he has a sudden drop out between now and then, I'm just going to sit back and watch the fireworks.

 

[FoolKiller]

As long as you don't wish to see chaos for entertainment's sake 👍

 

[squadops]

Indeed the comedy is flowing strong. A surprisingly good read to come home to.

That instagram thing is hilarious, I'm at a loss for words and it's usually pretty hard to shut me up. Oh dear.

 

[Johnnypenso]

Everyone is a possible criminal. Truth be told I'd vote for a popsicle stick (orange preferably) before I'd vote for a raging socialist, borderline Marxist.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Everyone is a possible criminal. Truth be told I'd vote for a popsicle stick (orange preferably) before I'd vote for a raging socialist, borderline Marxist.

And I would vote for a Popsicle before I vote for a racist or someone being investigated by the FBI. Truth is you vote for the lesser of all evils and Bernie is that person for me this year. When he's out, I'm out.

 

[squadops]

There is a term here on gtp about moving goal posts, it's not that you are moving them mind you, it is simply that they do get moved. Hillary has been gawd awful imo, she did what everyone accepted within the government circles.

Should I remind you of a post I made regarding that? I said something to the effect 'we need a president that respects the law' remember that?

 

[mustafur]

Everyone is a possible criminal. Truth be told I'd vote for a popsicle stick (orange preferably) before I'd vote for a raging socialist, borderline Marxist.

Yet lives in Canada.

 

[squadops]

That is interesting mustafur, he seems to have some sort of conservative values.

Let me say if I may, conservative means exactly what the word means, I am a true conservative, I'm not going to cut your forest down for instance 👍

I have one friend in particular from Canada, he's a bit liberal on the surface but he is actually pretty independent in his thoughts, he could correct me if I miss'ed the boat.

Was playnthru just banned for this?

Seriously mods? Just edit and warn.

 

[squadops]

I would guess that he had some unpleasant words with the mod via pm, it's not up to me however.

Things did get a bit nasty for while there, I didn't see it all, but some of my cool posts were deleted as result. We do not have a right to be here, we are guests.
