If the GOP leadership is competent in the least they will quietly add a bunch of superdelegates before 2020. That way their nominee can clinch earlier and it won't be someone from the clown half of the party.

Have you ever talked to someone who wants Drumpf for president and asked them what they see in him? You get the dumbest replies and none of it makes sense or explains how people think he is qualified at all.

Did you see this reporter asking Hitler quotes (without telling them) to Trump supporters?

Reporter: "So do you agree with this statement: ______________?"
Trump Supporter: "Absolutely."
Reporter: "That's actually a quote from Hitler."
Trump Supporter: "Well, I don't support Hitler."
Reporter: "If Donald Trump said it, would you still support it?"
Trump Supporter: "Absolutely."

Now, I'm not equating Trump with someone who killed thousands of people, just pointing out the total stupidity of the supporters.

While I get what your saying...you could easily do this with zealous Obama supporters as well.

Except what has Obama ever said that could be confused with what Hitler said?

Hrm, not to say it wouldn't/couldn't happen, just feel like I haven't seen the same insanity with Obama/Bush/anyone else in the past decade.

well, you had the videos of people saying things like "now that obama's elected, all our problems are over, i don't have to pay my mortgage..."

there are a lot of dumb people out there.

I have a little mixed feelings over the Trump and Bernie support. My obvious feeling, both would be bad for the country. But when I see such outsiders getting a lot of support across the country, it does give me hope that folks outside the typical politician can win support without political machines.

I think that's actually very encouraging.



When we are dealing with Trump and Bernie this fact is widely overlooked by our fuckin jackass media...while they rather get soundbites like supporters saying dumb thing...the fact Bernie and Trump are self funding or getting support off small donations is quite effing amazing. But that doesn't get enough "clicks" I guess.

donald trump is not self funded. he's put in $250k, and gave him self a 0% interest loan that he'll be using donations (which he IS actively soliciting, check the donation buttons on his website, there are 2 on the front page)) and not his own money to repay that loan.

obama also got a lot of his money from small donors, he pretty much revolutionized that. i'm sure he took big money too though.

yes, jackass, he kind of did. if you can't bother to read, that's a you problem. getting contributions from 3.95 million different donors in one cycle isn't exactly common. he also didn't take money from PACs or registered lobbyists, though he did take a lot of money from big donors. (some quotes)

According to the Campaign Finance Institute analysis, 55,755 people gave more than $200 to the Obama campaign in the first six months of this year.
That is at least double the number of donors for every other candidate — Republican or Democrat — except for Clinton, who had 36,307 donors.
During the same six-month period in 2003, President Bush had 19,289 donors who’d given more than $200, and Kerry had 9,862, the institute found.
Yet those figures only scratch the surface of Obama’s strength. His campaign says — and other camps don’t dispute — that its total number of donors as of June 30 was 258,000.
That means about 202,000 people gave him less than $200 in the first six months of this year.
Small change? Think again. According to campaign financial disclosure reports, Clinton raised $4 million from donations under $200, and Romney reported $3 million.
Edwards’ small checks amounted to $5 million and Republican front-runner Rudy Giuliani gathered less than a million from the little guys.
In contrast, Obama raised $16.4 million, or 29 percent, of his record-breaking second-quarter total of $57 million from those small donors

Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said in an e-mail that the campaign had more than 3.95 million donors, and "91% of our contributions were in amounts of $100 or less. … There's no doubt that small-dollar contributors played a critical and unprecedented role" in Obama's victory.

The study said Obama brought in a total $638 million, the most ever raised in a political campaign, compared with $206 million by McCain, who accepted $84.1 million in taxpayer financing for the general election. Obama reported 580,000 donors who gave more than $200.

Donors giving $200 or less need not be disclosed, but the difference between the number of donors provided by the Obama campaign and the number reported in federal election records shows there were about 3.4 million of them.

Sarah Palin 2.0

If these ultra conservatives really want an ultra conservative -- vote Rand Paul. Of course ultra conservatives would have to actually embrace the true definition of state's rights and not complain when a liberal state implements liberal policies but on the flip side ... Texas, Alabama, Lousianna are all yours.

Truly theatre of the absurd.
