Well, Cruz is down, straight into the massive chasm of a ditch that Trump has left in his wake, as I'm sure we've all seen. Which means Trump's got it. Sure Kasich might stay around, but nobody is going to vote for establishment-man.

 

As for the Democrats, they've basically chosen their flavor, and the flavor is exactly as I expected. Pragmatism over idealism, the safe choice over change. Take that Sanders supporters, how does it feel to know that your "Revolution" has been crushed by carefully constructed propaganda and lifelong indoctrination? Hahahahahahahaha! Best just go mad like me and laugh at it all

 

What I believe we've seen is the Obama Effect, except from the other side of the fence. The anti-establishment, paranoid, insular side of politics. The side of politics that has been long cultivated by a country that uses it to force conservatism and tilt the entire game in the favor of those who already have money. It doesn't matter if you're leftist or strong libertarian, we both agree that the way the US govt currently plays it's hand in the economy and in the lives of it's citizens is all kinds of wrong. The forces harnessing this distrust and malcontent have lost control, and now they're going to pay for it.

 

Which means, as far as I'm concerned, at this point it's Game Over.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm calling a 2016-20 Trump Presidency at the very least, with a comfortable margin over Clinton.

 

May the gods of the internet have mercy upon us all.

REVOLUTION!~

I told you! If only you liberals could have known what unholy retribution your smug narcissism was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongues. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price you damn idiots. Trump will shit greatness all over this country and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead leftards.

 

God bless this great nation.

I agree with almost nothing Republicans represent. Now it's down to the battle of the no brains and the half brains. May the worst brains win. Democracy is very shitty sometimes.

so much this

Lol. I think that's a bit of an overreaction. American politics is usually a swing of the pendulum. The bigger issue is that a large swath of conservatives have never been able to get over the fact that we elected a black president. It's certainly not because he's a "liberal," because he's not. Far from it. He is slightly left of center for American politics, which still puts him on the right in most developed countries.

 

But that's neither here nor there. Re-fighting the battles of the last eight years is not a particularly useful exercise. Red has the right of it. Like him or not, Trump taps into something very real. He's certainly not a shoo-in, but he could absolutely win in November.

The left is always happy to play psychologist and tell everyone else why they're unhappy with Obama or whatever else, and it is one of the things that has driven a lot of otherwise moderate people to support Trump. Congratulations, Jorost. You've contributed to his presidency more than I ever could have.

[ᗅᗺᗷᗅ]

And the right is always happy to play preacher and tell everyone else why they're going to burn in hell. Welcome to America.

[Shokkou]

In the 60s maybe, and we saw how that worked out for them.

[Thrash]

Yah, if it was preaching about burning in hell, Cruz would be in the lead right now..  so.. bite your tongue.

[Shokkou]

Yeah, I don't think I've heard many people carrying on about what gets people sent to hell these days whereas the new morality policing banner has been picked up by the left. Why is that?

Hey man, if nobody is telling people how to live, where's the fun?

Cruz probably would have already taken it if he weren't the single most unlikable person on the face of the Earth.

In figuring it out for yourself.

You're barking up the wrong tree here. Most of these ivory tower lefties don't believe in third options, no matter how much they may be better than the two big ones.

Meh. Johnson is just a Republican by another name. That's the problem with the two major "third party" options — the Libertarians are just more extreme Republicans and the Greens are just more extreme Democrats.

"Extreme" because the idea of a non-authoritarian party taking power is unthinkable to you people.

[ᗅᗺᗷᗅ]

Lol. Trump is an authoritarian, Shokkou. That's a big part of his appeal.
