Ted's speech? Sounds like he's got his eyes firmly set on the Texas governorship.

He'll tell YOU whatever YOU want to hear if it gets your vote...

To be fair, that's just about every politician nowadays. And that might be giving time the benefit of the doubt.

Trump was right about one thing: politics needs to be changed. Annnnnnnnnnnnd, that's about all he's done.

No one has been more blunt and public about playing both sides of nearly everything and then denying he ever said the other side...Its one thing to flip flop a belief, its completely different thing to play both sides all the time...its obvious that he's a real estate guy, because I'm sure he has to play both sides and smooze up every politician...its just sickening that he could be winning...
SIDENOTE: I love the idea of things changing, getting new people from different backgrounds a chance...but this feels like I'd be voting for Ziggy Wilf or something...

This is true. I believe it was you that pointed out on Tweeter that we need a guy LIKE Trump, but certainly NOT Trump himself. I completely agree.

You want change so you support someone that advocates committing war crimes.

edit: I know you're still holding out hope for someone more sane, but I have no doubts you'll be pulling the lever for Donald in the General.

It's time to stop making excuses for why someone would support Trump. The only excuse is being a terrible person.

If it's tD vs. How Does my Orange jumpsuit look?, I'm leaving that line blank or write in John Kasich. In the meantime, we're voting for a new (Democratic) senator, a new (Democratic) representative, and a few (Tacoma Park) county council races.

No it doesn't. Check the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

You can claim this all you want, but every priest I've ever met is against the death penalty because it violates the sanctity of life.

If you're pro-life, you're pro-every life. The Church is very consistent on that front.

I have always thought that your take would make the most sense, but I have heard joecct's stance most often when discussing these issues.

The Church may be consistent but the congregants do not have to comply with the Church- see the % of Catholics who believe in birth control, use of condoms, etc

Correct. The "official press release" is one thing...individual advice/stance is another. This includes priests/pastors/etc. And much of it does involve context of situation.

Bwahaha! the latest sound byte- Trunmp claiming he is a unifier. I literally laughed out loud. This followed by his denigrating the other candidates.

Re: Campaign 2016 - in bridge, the trump cards are really wild.

Also, why did nearly 4k (so far) in MASS vote No Pref? Nearly 1% took time out of their day to vote that they weren't voting.

No, they're were telling the candidates that nobody was worth their vote. It's making their protest voice heard at the ballot box.

True. My extremely Catholic brother-in-law and his wife practice the Natural Family Planning method, which they argue isn't "birth control" because they're not impeding pregnancy...

Artificial birth control is a no no.

I mentioned elsewhere, IF I voted, I'd end up with write-ins, literally making my vote a wasted vote. I used to be a "vote or die" guy.

Not once did tD get a majority of votes (well Slick Willy didn't either). The rest of the field needs to stay in or unite behind somebodies to get to a brokered convention.

He's Howard Beall reincarnated folks. The Mad Prophet is running for President.

Handy said Minnesota and the DFL were in the tank for Hillary. What gives???

When Trump wins the GOP primary vote for the nomination...I seriously doubt there will be a brokered convention. You think there's an anti establishment vote in the GOP now? If the GOP negates the will of both its anti establishment contingent and popular vote, the party is truly headed for big trouble. And so I can't imagine it will ever happen.

I don't know, its not like Trump is winning majorities, the other candidates are splitting the vote. I'm pretty sure everyone that wants trump as their first, second or third choice is pretty much choosing him as their first choice. As people drop out, most of those delegates and most of those voters will shift to Cruz or Rubio...

I thought it was kind of ironic that the counter of ballots for the GOP caucus in Alaska was doing so nursing a self inflicted bullet wound from a hunting accident.

No one's dropping out, though. Frigging Carson is staying. Everyone hates Cruz and Rubio and Kasich are throwing Hail Mary's in two weeks.
