Nathanael D. Striker Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 So Trump wins SC and Sanders goes from 40 points down months ago to 4 points down in NV? Tell me, how exactly is Clinton inevitable? Also, what the hell is going on in the GOP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Sanders is going to lose really, really badly in SC. Which is unfortunate because two loses in a row (Somewhat expected loses) will damp his momentum.  Admittedly, this is still just a good thing because as you say he closed a 40 point gap down to less than 5 which is awful for Hilary. But worrying depending on how the media spins things. I definitely think that this will go to the DNC convention, it's way too close for anything else now. And one can only hope Bernie wins it, because Trump will probably trash Hilary in the general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei the Morning Star Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Also, what the hell is going on in the GOP?We've finally grown a brain. The man called Bush out on Iraq, savaged his main competitor, and fought the Pope and made the Vatican back down.

Winter, Trump has switched parties too many times tbh. I wouldn't call him a moderate at this point due to the perception he is creating. And Dad, you honestly think Bernie is to the right?

I'm not sure what to think about your claim, so evidence? Bernie is a Liberal.  That much is clear.  But compare him to Hilary, he's bit more eccentric and right leaning.  He only ran as a Dem because running independent would split the vote and guarantee a loss.

Nathanael D. Striker Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Winter, I wonder if SC is a winner-takes-all primary state or one of those proportional with a WTA trigger. That could explain it. Dad, you think Bernie is to the right of Hillary? Yea, I'd argue the other way around with Hillary's days helping Goldwater as evidence; however, I'm interested to hear your reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like there was a really interesting survey where Trump's ideas were floated to Independents, Democrats and Republicans, but after taking off the name Trump in those ideas.

People thought similar of Obama going into his two terms, and he left a bad taste in the mouths of many. Just temper yourself a little, because it is still really really early. Even if there's a lot in Trump's favour right now, a lot is left to happen in the Primary and then the General. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if there's a lot in Trump's favour right now, a lot is left to happen in the Primary and then the General. Trumps chance of winning NY is really quite good and he's polling far better among Black voters then any republican should. It's like you said, things look really good for him. His main hurdles at this point are trumping Cruz in Texas and NY in the general. Both are realistically achievable.  But yeah, it's ironic cause I'm bias on Trump now, just feel he's misrepresented a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cr47t Posted February 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Before anyone forgets, Jeb has dropped out of the race, so someone place their thoughts about that. Part of me thinks this is all an act for Trump. Even then, keep him away from the White House.You mean the whole thing between him and Pope Francis? Francis would probably not do a thing like that. Trump won all 50 delegates. Since everyone else got 0, could it be said he did Infinitely better? :3The reason he got all 50 was because the party had already agreed on a winner-take-all system beforehand, and not because of trump's character or past accomplishments, so imo no. This man will be our president, and he's gonna make America Great again. Wish people could look at it from an unbais perspectiveAmerica is already great. It is in nowhere near as bad as many of the Republicans are looking at, that is probably an exaggeration. If you like his success or speaking his mind or whatever, that's ok, but just because he has those does not mean he is right. That ain't how right is determined from wrong. Like Aerion pointed out, try not to jump the gun. You should also look at what the other candidates stand for and what they are like, besides what your candidate says about them. I find it very biased to get your news or information from only one source imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathanael D. Striker Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 cr47t, think of Trump as a troll and Francis unintentionally feeding said troll. People are taking Trump seriously when I doubt that he is being serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
