The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[pelagius]

Ha. Good one.

Also, it doesn't matter.

Well, that's the one real takeaway from this primary season: Nothing matters.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Meh, HRC is problematic but not in comparison to Trump. 10x better, 10x less dangerous, and 10x less embarrassing.

Bingo.

Really? Rubio only 3 points ahead of Trump on honesty? No wonder he's going to lose his home state.

[Omaha 680]

Again across all five states voting today, two-thirds favor a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States, high across the states, and peaking at three-quarters in Missouri. Looking at two states considered key, support for a Muslim ban is about two-thirds in Ohio and Florida, alike. It’s averaged a similar 68 percent across previous contests this year – of whom 43 percent have been Trump supporters, vs. 30 percent for his nearest competitor, Ted Cruz.

I guess they don't poll the democrats on this. I know it would be a lot lower than republicans, but I wonder how much lower. Have they everyone polled the country on this?

Thankfully, our Constitution provides several checks against Democratic Tyranny.

No- looks like an exit poll to me. That itself could just be reflective of higher mobilization among Trump and Cruz voters. It's still pretty alarming how many voting dummies there are, though.

I wouldn't use the word great, but I'll say this: if you are a Trump supporter, you're not in a position (on the moral high ground) to make a big deal out of the lies Hillary has told.

If you are in a position to tell people what is moral and what isn't, you should be voting for Ted Cruz.

hillary is the most qualified candidate in history

Bush senior has her beat by a country mile.

Memo to self: Never ask Ben Carson to write a letter of recommendation.

Ben Carson on late Monday argued that the worst possible outcome of Donald Trump lacking the right skills for a quality presidency is a single, four-year term under the billionaire.

“The way I look at it, even if Donald Trump turns out not to be such a great president — which I don’t think is the case, I think he’s going to surround himself with really good people — but even if he didn’t, we’re only looking at four years,” the former GOP presidential candidate said on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show."

That just gave me an idea for my next evaluation at work.

I took the third party question response as good news for the never-Trump movement today. In a vacuum those numbers suggest Trump will be in a battle in every state but Florida tonight. But that Muslim immigration response was crazy.

[Commando]

Well- what better year for a third-party candidate, really? Swing voters and moderate Republicans would rather not hold their nose and vote for Hillary and I'm sure Democrats would rather not vote out of desperation to stop Trump.

That just gave me an idea for my next evaluation at work.

I wrote a letter of recommendation for a former co-worker that I never used. The guy was hilarious but with a nonexistent work ethic. It included stuff like, "We've never had an employee like Jim and we were simply amazed by the amount and quality of his work. He was never constrained by our standard work hours and policies, and he caused us to re-evaluate those in light of his remarkable performance. You'll be very lucky if you can get Jim to work for you."

BTW, at an associates lunch (this was many years ago), Jim didn't believe the rest of us that none of us took naps at the office. He said he took one in the morning and one in the afternoon. When asked if others would catch him mid-sleep, he said no, because he would sleep with his chair back turned to the door. When the door opened, awakening him, he always turned one page of the book he kept on his lap before turning around to greet the intruder.

Sorry for the detour, but I just woke up from my nap so I'm not focused on the primaries at the moment.

[Commando]

Jim sounds like a super chill bro.
