176041_600-2.jpgOriginally posted by byu71 View PostSad, so very sad. This thing looks like it is coming down to Trump vs Hillary. Looks like I will be doing a no vote for President. Of course if I thought my vote could sway things, I would choose one of the lesser of two very flawed and terrible choices.
Now that the majority of the press seems to accept Donald's candidacy they are starting to scrutinize him more and more and stop the celebrity treatment. They should have been doing this long ago. This joke and embarassment going on in the republican primary they are calling it now is to a large extent their fault. Yes, I do put the majority of the press in the same grouping with the Trumps and Hillary's of the world."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

John Oliver's show about Trump made me feel a bit better. Oliver can be a little too smug and irritating at times, but given that his target here embodies those characteristics x 10, I'm more than okay with this. It's long, but entertaining.

I also like that Oliver can be self-effacing, describing himself as looking like a near-sighted parrot who works for a bank.

My personal interest in Trump winning the nomination is to see how many of the republican sheep(those who vote R at all costs) toe the party line.
Ftr, I am decidedly independent. But most of all I despise straight party voters. Voting an ideology and not on a candidate is what brought us to the current compilation of candidates."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

If it ends up being Trump vs. Hillary, it will be fascinating to see how the state of Utah votes. Traditionally one of the most republican states, but Trump has never polled well in Utah (God bless Utah voters).Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View PostMy personal interest in Trump winning the nomination is to see how many of the republican sheep(those who vote R at all costs) toe the party line.

If the Donald is the Republican nominee, what does Utah do? Up to now the state has exhibited more antipathy towards him than almost any other state but if he's the Republican nominee is there any way the state's electoral votes don't go to him? Does the Church start to issue more position statements that demonstrate its dislike for the candidate and giving members more ammo in not voting for him?

It's true, if we were the opposite of those things then we could join in the debate for how on the margin Hillary or Donald are less evil than their counterpart.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostCome on, guys. Politically ignorant and cynical is no way to go through life.
Face it, because of the political ignorance of the masses, we are presented with the choice of Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Hard not to take a cynical view of the current state of affairs.

I agree. Clearly Trump is the least palatable Republican for Utahns, when given a choice. The dissonance that will occur when he us the only republican choice will be fascinating to watchOriginally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostIf it ends up being Trump vs. Hillary, it will be fascinating to see how the state of Utah votes.

It might be fascinating but the result will be predictable. Trump will still win by a healthy margin. Utahns don't like Trump, but they like him more than Hillary.Originally posted by Jarid in Cedar View PostI agree. Clearly Trump is the least palatable Republican for Utahns, when given a choice.

Who cares about Utah and it's half of dozen or less electoral votes? What is far more interesting is New York:Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostIf it ends up being Trump vs. Hillary, it will be fascinating to see how the state of Utah votes.

Hillary could lose to Trump in Democratic New York
Confidential polling data shows Hillary Clinton could lose the presidential election in heavily Democratic New York to Donald Trump as the GOP front-runner’s support grows to the point of being “surprisingly strong,” The Post has learned.
