Win what the general election or becoming the Republican nominee? Unless he does very poorly on super Tuesday than more than likely he will be the nominee. Also Professor Helmut Norpoth’s statistical modeling gives Trump a 97 percent chance of beating Clinton in November. And his model has only been wrong once, so take that as you will.

Depending on which democrat gets the Nomination, the chance that Trump wins is 50/50. However, the way Trump "Speaks" on the issues, he will be an excellent puppet/scapegoat for House and Senate.

Carson would just be a repeat of the Wubya years, with a Sith Lord manipulating things from the shadows. Trump...should he win, I only hope that it proves too much for his heart and that Carson is the only doctor in attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Professor Helmut Norpoth’s statistical modeling gives Trump a 97 percent chance of beating Clinton in November. And his model has only been wrong once, so take that as you will. There are numerous models that "Have not failed once" that are giving different candidates as the most likely winner. Statistical models of political systems mean nothing, because the complexity of social issues and responses to behaviors are poorly interpreted by computational models in this day and age. We heard the same crap when Romney ran, and look how that turned out. Trump has consistently said things of an inflammatory nature against major voting groups, such as the Catholics for example. Trump is vocal, which gets him attention, but this is not the same thing as getting him voting appeal. You have to think...WHOSE attention is he getting? In a major election, when the ultimate fate of our country for the next 4 years is being decided, do you honestly believe that all of American voters are so stupid that they'd elect a man that has run on a platform as absurd as his? When in the last 50 years has a candidate won who has done and said as many absolutely ridiculous things as him? These are the primaries. Voter turnout is low. People talk a lot about the candidates, but few people actually vote for anyone. The few people that do are usually at the far end of their party's ideological spectrum. Trump's appeal is with working class, white Americans. Guess who normally votes more than any other demographic during the primaries within the earliest voting states? Ha, Trump can't win because that group is really the ONLY group he has behind him, with any real certainty. Once the general presidential election comes around, you will see a broader representation of America's people, and they are certainly not all white, working-class Americans that can be easily manipulated by an opportunistic capitalist swine like Trump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The thing that most fascinates me about this election is the two emerging sides. The sanders crowd and the trumpeteers. Sander's crowd is made up mostly of young people and are more liberal than any other candidate's supporters. Trump's folk are very far to the right (even though he himself has liberal views at some points) and tend to be older people. But both of those two camps are anti-status quo. I love it! (I've been independent for quite a while because democrats and republicans are both corrupt af) The establishment has really been called out and the centrists really do look like fools these days. It's clear that change is on its way for this country and its been a long time coming. I would have preferred it closer to 2008 after the crash, but I guess these things take time. I'm to the left of Sanders politically, but I'm not shocked at all that Trump gets the support he does. The end of Obama's term was the perfect time for him to run. He's quite clever, the establishment underestimates him.  And even if he did win, he's chaotic enough to spur change even faster. (It's an inevitable thing anyway) I think this is why you seem some Sanders supporters say "If Hilary wins the primary, I'll vote for Trump". We cannot remain in stagnation anymore. It's far more harmful than what Sanders or Trump can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazerMaster5 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Y'all better be voting in both the primary and the main election. This shit matters. Most members of the GOP are strongly homophobic and want to pass legislation that will allow for the discrimination of LGBT people, possibly even overturning last year's Supreme Court ruling that legalized same sex marriage. I sure as hell am not giving up my rights right as I will move out into the real world. Hilary Clinton may scare me, but at least she won't pass discriminatory laws against minorities. Bernie Sanders has an interesting view of the country, one that might revitalize things. So do your research, and make a vote for the best person. Every vote counts this time around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlusThirtyOne Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 A high number of Clinton voters will vote for her because she's a woman. As for Trump voters, unfortunately a lot of them will vote for him because they see him as a joke, either to mock the system or take selfies of themselves at the voting booth with the caption, "MFW i piss in Washington's eye".

Listen, I bet you anything that Carson has, in his wallet, a card from the Republican party saying "This man is white and has all the privileges and freedoms associated with whiteness and the Caucasian race in general." That's one of the perks of being a race traitor, after all - you get to switch sides. Rubio, as has been stated, is Cuban but he neither looks nor acts like it. For all intents and purposes, he's white.   Edited February 28, 2016 by AlexInsane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He retweeted a Mussolini bot because it was "a good quote" and is apparently clueless about the KKK or distances himself from the topic in such a moronic way that it sort of looks like he is clueless about it.

Gryphoneer Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Saxon, it's implicit with far-right figures that it's only them who pass judgment on what's true and what's false. Just look at Poland; the, ahem, "Law and Justice" Party enacted authoritarian laws that muzzle the once free media under the guise of making the press report more "objectively" and strengthening "journalistic integrity." Yeah, it seems politicians have now noticed the best way to curtail freedom of speech is by claiming it's about ethics in journalism. In other news, Trump had the SS remove black students from a rally at their own university. Aaaand here are his thoughts on the Tiananmen Square massacre. Quote When the students poured into Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government almost blew it. Then they were vicious, they were horrible, but they put it down with strength. That shows you the power of strength. Our country is right now perceived as weak … as being spit on by the rest of the world. Welp... you're fucked, America.
