2016 Republican Primary

[BDKJMU]

Oh. Microaggressions.... I wonder if a black person has ever claimed that white folks don't know what it's like to live in ghetto?

And I wasn't aware of BLM times other than the one in Seattle where the two idiots took over the stage.

I'm not saying you're wrong that some black voters are turned off by the above two examples but if they are, that's a 100% on them.

Well honestly, I think that type of reaction is also an issue. I've read that a lot of minorities have simply been off-put by how dismissive Sanders supporters are. An eye-roll is the best way to make someone not want to vote for your candidate; thinking you know what's best for those voters is another.

Another point I want to bring up is how Sanders wants a political revolution after the Obama presidency. Like Obama or not, minorities (especially blacks) are extremely proud of his time in office. The fact that Sanders has basically come in and said that everything is failing...well you can see how that's off-putting. You have the nation's first black president and afterwards, this guy is telling you that everything has failed.

Clinton at least acknowledges the progress under Obama's presidency and wants to build upon it; Sanders never acknowledges any of that. He's basically the Democrat version of a Republican telling us how this nation needs a revolution...after the first black president...even though Obama by all measures has been a decent President.

I lol'ed at that too BDK. We know he's been a shitty President, but history will not record it that way. Because he's black and the first one at that, he will have walked on water.

It will be truly sickening.

By the way, did anyone catch the incredibly awkward rally Cruz held in Indiana yesterday? It was on around 7:30 or so. He was in a supposed "Hickory HS" basketball arena, which was just a fake banner. There was no Hickory HS. The real team that the movie Hoosiers was based on was Milan HS.

Then Cruz tried to recreate the scene where Gene Hackman has an assistant measure the distance from the ground to the hoop to prove that it's still the regulation ten feet.

But, he called the hoop the "basketball ring".

Basketball ring? WTF is that you creepy weirdo?

I caught that. He's so creepy. Weird. Out of touch.

I don't know how historians will end up ranking him (I tend to lean that it'll be in the top half of Presidents), but I think as time passes and boomers die, he'll be remembered fondly. He has a 60%+ approval rating among millennials (who are now the largest US demographic) and minorities (who will become the majority in the 2040s). It's really boomers, who are the second largest demographic, that have dismissed his Presidency.

Kalm, I don't have a response to your question right now.

So you're saying those with the least perspective and who he's race baited think most highly of him. This makes sense.

With his five blowout wins Tuesday night, Donald Trump has passed Mitt Romney’s popular vote total from four years ago and is on a trajectory that could land him more Republican votes than any presidential candidate in modern history – by a lot.
Trump surged to 9.9 million votes, according to totals that include Tuesday’s preliminary results across the northeast and could rise further as the final votes are counted. That’s already more than 100,000 more than Romney earned in the entire 2012 primary season and tens of thousands more than John McCain earned in 2008.
Trump is certain to pass McCain’s total next week in Indiana, but more importantly, he’s positioned to easily pass the modern record-holder George W. Bush — who collected 10.8 million votes in 2000.

And yet we should trust the judgement of the generation that thinks Reagan was the second coming of Christ?

What's this "major announcement" that Herr Cruz is giving this afternoon? That's he's an alien?

Both of these. He's my age and Hoosiers should be right in his wheelhouse.

What a complete and utter tool!

1) I'm not representing the Sanders Campaign. I'm representing Kalm. So please show me beyond what you've already posted where Bernie has had an "eye roll" moment when it comes to blacks.

Who in the hell would think you are for Sanders? You've been in the bag with Clinton since she started running back in 2010.

List of Obama accomplishments:

1) First black president
2) Obamacare
3) First black president to get reelected
4) First black president to name a Supreme Court justice
5) Killed Osama Bin Laden
6) First black president to have to deal with Congress controlled by opposite party

Did I mention he was the first Black president?

I mean what really else was there?

And that is suppose to put him in the top half of the Presidents we've had in this country?

No. Trust the generation that came of age with a fiscally responsible Congress working together with a pot-smoking, draft-dodging, womanizing, sax-playing Joe Cool president who together presided over the most prosperous decade in US history.

Let's not discuss the massive bubble that was created in the tech and housing sectors of the removal of safeguards on banking.

“At least they thought they were fighting the system, they were trying to create transparency, they really thought they were for free speech. You people are openly and completely against it – you’re not fighting for free speech, you’re not fighting for rights, you’re fighting for the right to be a pussy and to not hear opinions that you don’t like!”

“These opinions that you’re yelling out, they’re not even your opinions, they’re your opinions from your gender studies professor and the real reason you pick it is you thought it was your best chance at getting laid. Only to realize that your very glance in the direction of a woman causes a barren womb.”

That won't win him the nomination.Seriously, who could he get that A) wants to be tied to the sinking ship that is the Cruz campaign; 2) wants to be associated with Cruz, whatsoever and; D) is so far to the left with in the GOP, that has the ability to tack to the center?

Actually, millennials are the most fiscally conservative generation since the Great Depression...thanks to the Great Recession. The downside is that they don't risk their money for high-gain rewards. But in regards to saving for retirement, millennials started earlier than any other generation in history...and have the highest saving rate (at their age) than any other generation before.

We're basically the super-saver generation. Also because we care more about "experiences" than consumer products, except for phones. You better not take our god damn phones away.

Trip, is that calculated as a percentage of what they make? I mean, if you're an art history major and you save $10k a year, that's like a third of your salary.

Cruz just needs to bow out. He needs Cruz needs 677 delegates to reach 1,237 delegates. Only 622 remain. Him and Kasich need to seriously eat crow, fall in line and begin...to heal the party.
