Cruz Miss-ile
Author: BobR
Date: 2016-05-04 10:17:40
It's Trump
Good gawd.... it's an embarrassment for our nation.
In case you missed it, Trump won Indiana yesterday, prompting Ted Cruz to drop out. Kasich is staying until the bitter end. That's cute.
Before the primary, he needed a boost to his campaign, so he brought in Carly Fiorina to be his "VP pick" (demonstrating his ignorance of Republican party procedure). As Fiorina has a tendency to do, she "HP-ed" his campaign. Cruz apparently believed God told him to run... it seems God has a sick sense of humor, or just really wanted to put Cruz through the wringer for being a colossal dick.
So now with the whole world watching, they are going to see one of our two constituent political parties put up a clueless classless sideshow barker as their leader. It's sickening.
Over on the Dem side, Indiana was pretty close to a tie. Sanders won, but all of the super-delegates went for Clinton. That is sure to drive the Sanders' supporters into paroxysms of outrage. That's what happens when you join the party at the last minute. Whatever...
Anyway - the orange-headed douche will be even more insufferable than ever. The next six months are going to suck.
Yay us...

The BBC was calling it a "hostile takeover of the Republican Party" this morning on World Service.

Well aren't you just the little urban pioneer...
Also known as too cheap/poor to live in a nice area so live in a shitty area and get lucky if it gentrifies a little - but not too much...

I define "shitty" by what retail establishments are there, how much gang-style graffiti there is, and the amount of trash that the residents leave on the streets.
As to Del Ray, it was already nice when we moved in.
I just took the "I lived there before it was trendy" in the same ballpark as "I liked that band before they were big"

You had to walk over to Georgia Ave for all the retail. No gang graffiti, no trash.
Yes, that was exactly the hipster vibe I was going for.

Kasich's parting shot is proof that he, like every other GOP candidate, is not fit for the fucking job. It's also an insult to Star Wars and SW fans.

I would be surprised if this author votes for Hillary to be honest.
In the past, he has called the President a POS used car salesman.

If the presidential election patterns had held in the non presidential election years, the GOP would already be a bloated corpse. Although, there would need to be a new opposition party that isn't full of people in the crazy train.

Well that's different. I just got an email from Cox via the RIAA claiming they caught my home IP downloading a pirated movie.
My response? Well denial of course. Yours truly knows nothing of these things!
Ah but that's not all. I also told them that even if I did pirate movies, I sure as hell wouldn't download that godawful Batman vs. Superman movie.

Ted Cruz seems to be the least charismatic candidate to run for president in some time. I think that Kasich seemed moderate only because everyone else running for his party's nomination seemed so bizarre and extreme.
The Democratic race will continue, as I believe that Senator Sanders is interested in addressing the platform and shaping the future of the party. Sadly, the attacks between some of Sanders supporters (I hate the term Shillary) and Clinton supporters (some of whom are calling Bernie a senile con artist bent on destroying the Party on my Facebook feeds) will continue.
I suspect that Hillary Clinton will indeed be the nominee, short of something unexpected. However, I have worry about the strength of her campaign organization, as I was not impressed in 2008.

Here is the way I am looking at it, she lost to Barack effin Obama. He's one of the greatest politicians we may see in our lifetime.
Her campaign is WAY the hell better than in 2008. (Mark Pence was and still is a POS)
My concern is not her campaign organization. My concern is with the people that say they would never vote for Clinton. My concern is for people who would rather burn the motherfucker down and vote for Trump or stay at home.
Clinton is not a worry for me. She's fine.

Most of those who said in 2008 that they would not vote for Obama ultimately voted for him. I am sure that will be the same with those saying that they would not vote for Hillary.
