The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[Omaha 680]

They were already registered to vote. They just didn't meet the October 2015 deadline to change their registration from non-affiliated with a party to republican. This may end up costing Trump quite a few votes in that a lot of his voters haven't been republicans before and probably missed that October deadline also.

Ah, I didn't read. I still see a big margin for Trump. There are a lot of angry LI and Staten Island Republicans who are buying his populist crap.

Too bad it won't cost him all the delegates like in Colorado:

I am guessing that Drumpf supporters are like Drumpf: Not well organized.

What are your favorite news aggregators besides Drudge? I don't go to that website nearly as often as I used to. But the last two weeks seems like he has become Trump's shill. I'd rather not be a part of that.

Realclearpolitics is a good political news aggregator. They generally pick up pieces from across the political spectrum. They have other associated aggregator sites on religion, sports, etc.

Yeah I like all the realclear sites and I read a few articles from RCP every day. Like you said, they post a nice mix.

Thanks, IJ and Omaha. I'll try it out.

Bernie's net worth is less than half of what Hillary made from her Goldman Sachs speaking gigs:

KING: Bernie Sanders’ entire net worth is half of what Hillary Clinton was paid for Goldman Sachs speeches

[...]
Bernie’s entire net worth, accumulated over his 74 years of life, is less than half of what Hillary Clinton made just in her speeches to Goldman Sachs. In 2013, Bernie’s net worth was estimated to be $330,000 — making him among the least wealthy U.S. Senators in the country.

Twitter. Follow a good mix of opinion and news sources and you won't have to go to sites anymore.

Saw Trump on with his family on CNN last night. Melania and the kids are impressive. Ivanka is especially impressive in the way she speaks and discusses various issues.

While that is a good reflection on the Donald, I wouldn't say it makes him a great candidate for the Presidency.

I really hate having to make a decision between Donald and Hillary. I wish Ivanka was running instead of Donald.

Cruz defended ban on dildos

This guy is the "good" candidate.

Yet one case he does not mention is the time he helped defend a law criminalizing the sale of dildos.

The case was actually an important battle concerning privacy and free speech rights. In 2004, companies that owned Austin stores selling sex toys and a retail distributor of such products challenged a Texas law outlawing the sale and promotion of supposedly obscene devices. Under the law, a person who violated the statute could go to jail for up to two years. At the time, only three states—Mississippi, Alabama, and Virginia—had similar laws.

Cruz's legal team asserted that "obscene devices do not implicate any liberty interest." And its brief added that "any alleged right associated with obscene devices" is not "deeply rooted in the Nation's history and traditions." In other words, Texans were free to use sex toys at home, but they did not have the right to buy them.

The brief insisted that Texas in order to protect "public morals" had "police-power interests" in "discouraging prurient interests in sexual gratification, combating the commercial sale of sex, and protecting minors." There was a "government" interest, it maintained, in "discouraging...autonomous sex." The brief compared the use of sex toys with "hiring a willing prostitute or engaging in consensual bigamy," and it equated advertising these products with the commercial promotion of prostitution. In perhaps the most noticeable line of the brief, Cruz's office declared, "There is no substantive-due-process right to stimulate one's genitals for non-medical purposes unrelated to procreation or outside of an interpersonal relationship."
