The #3 DINO in the House of Representatives Just Got His Ass Handed To Him

[FORD]

Trump would have gotten thrown under the bus but the Republican Party doesn't have superdelegates.

Actually, the Republicans have their own way of rigging the primary, and it's exactly how Trump became the nominee.

They don't have superdelegates, but they have "winner take all" rules in many of the red states. Meaning that whoever wins the primary or caucus takes ALL the delegates to the national convention, regardless of what percentage of the vote that candidate actually received. The Republican primary started out with a 17 candidate clown car, so while Cheeto won many of those early states, he only had an average of 30% of the vote. Even as many of the other candidates dropped off, he was often splitting the count three ways with Cruz & Kasich. Didn't get an actual majority of the vote (50% or better) until the NY primary, which was about half way through the cycle.

Unlike the "Democratic" superdelegates, the Republican establishment probably never actually intended for Cheeto to be their nominee. But it was still their designed method of rigging the primaries which made it possible for him to win the nomination, without actually getting that many votes from Republican primary voters.

The Democratic party needs to find a platform... obstructionism isn't winning them anything.

Except an almost perma-majority starting in 2018 with Republicans alienating the millennials with their "obstructionism", thinly-veiled racism, and clearly being out of touch with the actual working and middle classes that actually are educated and are taking over what are parts of the old South....

There are only so many Trumps that can pretend to care about the white working classes while habitually and knowingly lying to them, then adopting policies completely antithetical to their interests like fucking their health care and cutting back on entitlements for the poor whites that voted for him, and get away with it...

[Nickdfresh]

They're winning seats, you obstructive WallMart Cheerio-sucking assfart. Problem is if these Bernie brat fucktards get in the way, they'll fuck everything up just like they did last time.

LOL Believe it or not I don't totally disagree with you. But you can't blame the "Berniebrats" for Hillary's completely stupid use of a private email server, Russian intelligence hacking and systematic fake news, the fact that 3/4ths of Republicans are stupid inbreds that are happy to vote against their working class interests at the behest of ultra-rich "donors" (read bribers) like the (c)Koch(ck) brothers, and Comey's November surprise letter. Yes, in some ways I agree that I don't want the Democrats to become too far to the left, but at the same time, the supposed "socialists" AREN'T! Even if they think they are. Bernie's politics isn't far from the center or even center-right parties of most Western European democracies...

[Kristy]

I don't care. These Bernie brats are nothing more than self-centered cry babies. If they don't get their way well then, it's fuck you and everybody who doesn't agree with us. Look at slave FORD just another clueless Bernie brat who cries foul than do anything to help the system - and it is a system that even their master belongs to. What gets me is that these Bernie shitheads know the Rethuglicons know of their childish tactics and thus exploited them. So yeah, they are to blame so fuck them and their fucking repetitive crying and bullshit propaganda they pass along as news. Cenk Dick Yanker is a propagandist just like Alex Jone$ and look how slave FORD flies into his storm of utter bullshit totally blind. It gets really, really old.

Someone please explain to me why society has become so fucking obsessed with catering to "millennials" or Generation Y..?

Each generation of 20 somethings to mid-30's enters adulthood with grand ideas and their own identity shaped by the events of their childhood. Each must adapt to the world they were raised in, work their way into the adult mainstream and wait their turn to run things until the previous generation fades away. That seems to be the normal cycle of human life... Why all the fuss over this batch..?

Back on topic... I don't see where either major political party can take real credit for the economic health of the nation. Not saying they don't "influence" the economy... but they sure as hell don't drive it. Thankfully so if you look at how poorly managed our Federal government is mismanaged!! By influence I mean certain policy changes either free up economic growth or in more cases drive a positive perception to where businesses feel safe to make capital investments that spur economic growth.

I think the current growth spurt could have happened a few years sooner in Obama's second term had the policy messages and some minor regulatory reform been enacted sooner. Sentiment within the markets drives spending decisions... all that triggers that in a lot of cases is perceptions coming out of DC. The overall financial world was in good shape and primed to drive growth 3-4 years ago... but the message from the previous administration fed more sentiment of uncertainty and less optimism. The uncertainty hasn't gone away... but the optimism has sure as hell driven economic growth that we haven't seen in a long time! That's starting to improve life for the actual working and middle classes...

This is such a good point. Let's start with the premise: Don't play in the street.
7-8 years ago there was Occupy Wall Street playing in the street. Current idiots like BLM and antifa la la playing in the street. 60's radicals playing in the street in Watts, Cleveland, Buffalo, Philly, Chicago, Kansas City, Newark, Louisville, Baltimore.

What did it get these idiots? Attention. Result? Zero.

What has social media given these millennials and Y'ers? Attention. Result? Zero.

Did it make them any more intelligent? No. Take the new hero of the left Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The blithe ignorance of this absolutely clueless millennial shows why socialism is the social preference of Y'ers and millennials. What have they made or in another term manufactured? Nothing. It's their bond or connection and why socialism appeals to these indolent non-producers.

These idiots don't get that many of us were idealistic assholes and were twice as smartassed, know it all youth.

Fortunately the realities of life and the world sink in pretty quick or used to. This batch of idiots have been so insulated they may not get it. And Z, you're talking about economic health in a sensible and reasoned way from experience. This new hero of the left is fresh out of a university where she majored in economics & international relations and was at the top of her class.

When the realities of life and the world sink in for the millennials my guess is the last thing they're going to want is their college debt forgiven. They're going want their money back...

Pretty much every study shows they're very much different than their predecessors in terms of how they view the world in regard to economics and race. They're not going to as easily fall for the politics of divisiveness the sort Trump and other Repubs have rolled out...

The Obama Admin created the current "economic spurt" unless you've selectively forgotten the near-depression of 2007-09? Obama in no small part was taking leadership even before he was sworn in and led the recovery. What regulations, specifically? The ones where we piss all over the environment or pander to the 20,000 coal miners left which will result in greater environmental costs down the road? Or where looming tariffs are causing the Chinese and others to stock up on soybeans, but will severally impact US agriculture to the point that the pResident is already talking about welfare for farmers to the tune of $12 billion...

They're in Buffalo? Where?

Who gives a fuck about them except for you and your lunatic fringe sites you regurgitate? What will destroy the GOP are the increasingly liberal suburban voters shifting South...

Simply because they are the most dumbfucked and retarded generation America has ever seen in its history. They are also greedy, don't want to work, feel entitled to everything yet are rich and bored out of their god damn minds. Problem is, neither major corporate-controlled political party knows quite how to exploit them for their own gain yet.

Weren't really quick enough to follow the conversation, were you Nick? I was referring to the riots in Buffalo back in the 60s and that got them absolutely zero.

Ever hear birds of a feather stay together? The millennial's are headed your way. So sayeth the link and the fringe from TIME mag.

Buffalo is ranking high in the category of “cities attracting millennials”, according to a recent article in TIME.

Nick, while I really appreciate the insults, please try to know little more about the subject for discussion within the thread prior to posting.



Probably not anywhere near your affluent suburb...

Using the golden half plus 7 rule that means you are now the perfect girlfriend for a 58 year old.

Just googled for you and Lance Burton is not married!!!!

So, Millennials are moving to cities where nobody wants to work. One thing I'll say about Millennials is they are not like your MTV Madonna masturbation of corporate sell outs for the Rethuglicon war machine of grand American imperialism. Your generation votes Trump, loves fascism, revises history and is getting as F A T as fuck. In fact, your F A T as fuck generation is going to be one fuck of a health care problem and since no Millennials really work whose going to pay for all this shit? I can wait for the day the Chinese move in and kick every one of you F A T fucks to the curb. I'd say "eat a dick" right here but it appears your MTV generation has had more than its share.

Then again...

Kristy, you get so many things right and others wrong. I'm on your side with FAT aging populace. They wonder how they got that way and always have some excuse not to workout or exercise. I don't get it. For example, there are 6 gyms within a 9 mile radius. They all have trainers and such but you can go in there after the 9-5 day is over and walk up to any equipment you would like to use. Getting old doesn't mean let yourself get FAT and lazy.

I don't care much for fascism but anyone that voted for BHOle got some. My healthcare was just fine. Still is. The BHOle assholes forced BHOleCare on everyone. BHOle assholes nationalized the home mortgage industry, nationalized two of the three American car companies, and the EPA became a brown shirt, unregulated independent government entity that pointed a shotgun at an old man. The EPA under BHOle knew of a possible blow out in a Colorado mine and covered up the evidence. And BHOles EPA shut down 8 coal mines and knew about the water problem in Flint and did nothing.

Maybe my definition of fascism is different than yours...
