Vermin Supreme is performance art/political satire protesting "the lies people are fed by the media and government" and those ~250 votes he got are protest votes ("none of the above"), or people that just think he is funny. They didn't actually want him to be president. People actually think Ben Carson would be a good president and are stupid enough to vote for him. So there is that difference...

People claim to the Pastafarians too, but no one actually believes the FSM is real.

The Republican Vermin Supreme is leading the pack.

Robert Reich gets it, anyway.

This is the takeaway that should really give everybody pause:

The establishment is having conniptions. They call Trump whacky and Sanders irresponsible. They charge that Trump’s isolationism and Bernie’s ambitious government programs will stymie economic growth.

The establishment doesn’t get that most Americans couldn’t care less about economic growth because for years they’ve got few of its benefits, while suffering most of its burdens in the forms of lost jobs and lower wages.

It's Reality TV vs. The Female Troll for the Presidency of the United States of America. And Handy's betting that Reality TV can't win.

I'm not so sure. Probably. But, I'm not so sure.

To be fair, that would require the millennials to put down the cell phone and stand in line at a voting booth to pull a lever. (Or sharpie in a bubble. Or punch a hole and remember to not leave it dangling. Or push a touch screen button that votes for the opposite of your choice.)

The millennials can't just sit on their couch and call (202) 456-1414 and choose extension (or tweet) 87867 or 26494 as their vote.

Why can't they be like we were? Perfect in every way.

Implosions like that are going to help him beat Trump.

Also, funny little tidbit from Morning Joe this morning. If this is a 3 way (Cruz, Rubio, and Trump), Trump wins going away. And there's no votes that go from Rubio to Cruz or vice versa. They all go to Trump.

There's not enough establishment in a 3 way race to get Rubio over the top.

This analysis is in agreement.

I've been giving GOP voters way too much credit. It looks like the winnowing effects will not be enough.

Ugh. :mad:

Brings a tear to my eye! Handy knows its Hillary all the way and Kep finally realizes Trump is going to be the GOP nominee! At the end of the day I'm here to educate, and even though its taken a while the veil of ignorance is slowly lifting around here. :D ;)

This is garbage. I'm sure it's what passes for "fact" on rightwing nutbar sites, but at the end of the day it's an excuse.

Sometimes there really are good sides and bad sides. The Republicans who have been forcing these laws through at the state level to gut abortion as on the bad side. The Democrats who have been fighting them are on the good side.

Rationalize it however you need to in order to sleep at night, but you're hurting people and we're trying to help them. Go ahead and project bizarre conspiracies about motives. At the end of the day, we can all see what's going on.

I don't have to rationalize anything to sleep at night. I've stated before on this site that I'm pro-choice. Always have been.

And my post is nothing that I've ever seen anyone else write or say. Just my own theory. Those kids that are "forced" into the world as children of poor, single minority mothers ain't growing up to live Loudon County, VA.

when are men going to get the right to abort babies?!?!? after all it's 50% theirs (or is this falling under 'ownership is 9/10th of the law' bs?)

It's her body, not yours. If you don't want the baby don't stick your stick in the well.

I'd agree with that.


Also, Ben Carson thinks it's unfair that he can't say racist things because he's black, "whereas, if he wasn't black, then he would just be a Republican". The man is a gift that keeps on giving.
