    Re: Campaign 2016 Part XVI: KICK THE BABY!

    So I just overheard a convo with two of my (young) coworkers. One of them said, "I don't like Hillary much, but I really like Bill Clinton because he's so cute."

    The two weren't even alive when Bill took office.

      Bill rolled a very high Charisma score. It's the one in D and D that no one cares about but the only score in real life that does.

At the very least, if he can influence the race in Utah it would be cool to see a democrat win there.

          He's missed the deadline in 26 states and has until the end of the week for 8 more states. Odd decision to start now.

            I think it's cover for Republicans so they can support a "Republican" rather than go outside the label with Johnson. It's the #nevertrump attempt to bridge to the post-election and keep as many conservatives as possible from bleeding off to Libertarian, where they might just find a new home.

            Also, the more reasons you can give for conservatives to come to the polls the more it helps down ballot.

            I think it's actually pretty smart. And because the guy isn't a professional politician he can counter Trump's "I'm an outsider" message by saying, "oh, yeah? I'm so outside I'm not even a nominee!"

            Also, Trump clutches his daddy-bought Wharton degree with his tiny fingers as a credential that shows he's "smart." Now here comes a guy who earned that degree AND served his country. The guy's resume rips off Trump's toe-nails without him even having to say anything.

              So it's basically a scam to get conservatives to the polls where they see he isn't on the ballot but figure "well, I'm here, might as well vote for Tea Party Clown (R) instead of sitting home watching O'Reilly."

              That's disgustingly clever.

                I think the plan is to make sure Trump loses badly so the 'real conservatives' can regain control of the party from the Trumpites

                  Strictly anecdotal, but these days the callers on POTUS seem to be divided about 50% Clinton, 25% Trump, 25% Johnson. I know Libertarians tend to be over-represented in political activist forums, but still, there are a lot of "I am a lifelong R but I will not vote for Trump*. I'm sure not voting for Hillary, so that leaves me with Johnson" callers.

                  * Reason given is typically NOT "he's racist" or "he's crazy." It's "he's liberal."

                    What would be so great about a Democratic win in Utah during this specific election? It's not like this would signify a turn in Utah's political trend. This is a group of unsatisfied Republicans looking to make a statement about a specific candidate who's been a thorn in a lot of states' sides now that he's actually become the endorsed candidate. Like Kepler noted, the people that could cause that state to go to Hillary are making a run to the right, not to the left. It's also in an election that where the ultimate end result is in little doubt.

                      Know what that means? They're not going to get it out of their systems until the real "True Believer" gets nominated. Sad but true. Nothing is going to change this cycle. There all going to go back and say that Trump wasn't "conservative" enough, that's why he didn't get elected. Conservative of course being the Limbaugh/Hannity definition and not the classic definition.

                          I don't know. But, until that person gets nominated and gets defeated this cycle will never end. One of the reasons I was hoping Cruz or Santorum, or someone like that would get nominated this time.

                                I _just_ looked at the now-cast and it still has SC light pink at 49.5% chance of Clinton victory and 50.4% chance of Trump Victory.
