If HRC is forced to withdraw (which I highly doubt will happen) the DNC will transfer all of HRC's super-delegates to another donkey of their choosing; someone like Joe Biden or even a Julian Castro.

    The Dems win elections when the Dems have a reason to go out and vote. Give the Dems a Trump to vote against, and the Dems will come out to vote in droves. For the same reason, the Dems would turn out to vote against a Bush. Thankfully it is looking like Jeb may not even make it to the convention.

    Who can beat HRC in the general election? Someone the Dems don't hate enough to want to turn out and vote against and the Conservatives within the GOP don't hate enough to stay home come November.

    Do we really have to sit through another nine months of this?

    What one has to deal with is the reality of Doomberg throwing his grassroots money in to the ring. He's paid off enough emotional mothers and weak kneed gender neutral men, under the guise of Gun Safety. He has the potential to be nominated come 9/16.

    Or possibility #2. The voting public stays home disgusted with the choices. Putting Krusty the Clown in office.

    We wait now to see who the GOP will give us to vote for.

    I don't believe more than 1% of the members of this board will pull the lever for HRC or the National Socialist, regardless of which one gets the DNC nomination.

    With the SCOTUS in the balance, there can be no doubt that sitting out this election, regardless of how bad the GOP's nominee may be, is not an option.

    Or, you could vote for someone who will actually consistently support the principles of liberty and Capitalism (and has a proven track record of doing so). This would definitely take power away from "the establishment".

    While I like the idea behind your point, that is exactly how we have had Obummer for 8 years.

    We live in a country that has a two party political system, and that is it. Third party candidates don't get elected, but they pull votes from the candidate that could be elected, resulting in the election of someone those people REALLY don't want.

    It sucks, I hate it, but there isn't a lot else that can be done. Our political system is so f*cked at this point, that it cannot be fixed, so we have two options. Operate within the system and try to limit the damage being done to our great nation, or start a revolutionary war. As much as I like the revolutionary war option, the nation isn't at a point where the critical mass needed for a revolutionary war would be achieved, and even if it was, who are the revolutionaries going to put in power after the war? The plethora of men with staunch morals, proper education, and an understanding of what it takes to create a world superpower that we had in the late 1700's and early 1800's doesn't exist today. Instead we have a nation that is more than 50% leeches on the .gov tit, and now we have a young generation that is buying hook, line, and sinker into the lie that they are owed everything for free, and that they should get it buy taxing the hardworking, driven, successful, and now wealthy portion of the society.

    As much as I don't trust Trump, I also don't trust Cruz. He voted for amnesty. In my mind, immigration - legal or not - is one of the major issues right now. If we want to continue to be a country, we have to not allow socialism without borders. Otherwise the flood of people that just want to tax the rich and get stuff for free will increase, and then we will have no rich. They will either leave, or they will be taxed into poverty. It doesn't really matter which one happens, because eventually, as Margaret Thatcher pointed out, the "other peoples money" will be no more.

    One of the statements that really gets to me is Bernie declaring "rich people are just greedy". That's just bull shit. Most of the folks with money have been earning it by working diligently and/or invested wisely. Also the Democraps seem to dwell on the "rich" not paying their "fair" share. I feel they are paying their fair share of taxes according to the current tax laws. Why the hell would they pay more than legally required when they can plainly see the Government just pissing it away. While I am at the mini-rant stage, I had been under the impression that an attack on a U.S. Embassy is considered a direct attack on the United States of America. Did that change?

    Classic "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need". "Rich" people, who aren't members of the elite communist political class must have their income confiscated and redistributed by the government to the sloth, after the elite communists take their cut of course.

    Now, now, you don't expect obama to attack his own kindred spirits do you?

    Honey badger; I agree whole heartedly, but where is this person?? I've been looking for YEARS.

    Grant H; Thank you for putting some meat and eleoquence to my scribbled thought.

    Foxtrot; Exactly right. The Russians, while in Afganistan, pointed that out. It will be nearly impossible to communicate effectively in that environment. But your point is just sit there and bitch? And, WTF is "Work now to preserve your later" What do you think we are trying to, peacefully, do?? Other than an uprising is just silly because we don't stand a chance, what are you saying that is useful to this conundrum?
