Then we'll have another Clinton in the White House and an Obama on the Supreme Court.

Malia or Natasha, who ya got?

Trump losing at the convention is the worst possible option for the GOP. They'll nominate him to forestall a third party run

Is Trump participating in the next debate? It is being held by Fox News and Megan Kelly is moderating again.

I can't help but see the support for Trump sort of like when you watch a movie and you feel yourself rooting for the bad guy to win. You know its not gonna happen but some small, sick part of you wants him to get away with it. Just to witness the fallout.

He would look silly/petty either way, but it won't matter.

I am totally rooting for trump to win. Not only do I think he would be easier to beat in the GA than some of these guys (though not a slam dunk), I continue to believe he would actually be the best president out of this group (a small bar, but still...)

Im.. shutter... going to agree with you. Guys like Cruz and Rubio have had to act so inflexible to appeal to the base, any negotiation or compromise will be a virtual impossibility.

I don't think Cruz is acting.

Yeah Cruz is a true believer, which is terrifying.

And Rubio will be falling over himself to fellate the people who drive the party

At a private Charleston, South Carolina, residence, surrounded by around 100 supporters, Hillary Clinton was interrupted by a Black Lives Matter activist who unfurled a sign quoting the former first lady on so-called “Superpredators,” the widely prevailing 1990s junk-science criminology that the usually African-American juvenile offenders of the time were irredeemable and would undoubtedly grow to terrorize communities.

“I’m not a Superpredator, Hillary Clinton,” the young Black Lives Matter activist said Wednesday night, holding a sign that read: “We have to bring them to heel” – Hillary Clinton. The quote is from a January 25, 1996, speech by Clinton during which she promoted the concept of “community policing” in order to combat the growth of so-called “Superpredators.”

“They are not just gangs of kids anymore,” Clinton said in Keene, New Hampshire. “They are often the kinds of kids that are called ‘super-predators.’ No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel”:

This election is going to be so much fun

I'm always surprised at how clunky a politician Hillary is. If she had engaged with that girl and treated here concerns seriously she'd be untouchable on the subject. Instead she dismisses her. Even if she thought the girl was a pain in the ass she could have easily turned it into a positive. These politicians don't seem to understand everything is filmed and that sometimes you have to leave the talking points behind and be real for a second. At least pretend to be real.

In fairness when you've been full of shit for that much of your life, it's hard to identify which actual voting group you're trying to pander to at the moment.

She's going to need to have a meeting to formulate an opinion.

Listening is not a trait of politicians, even if it's something they need to do at times.
