Why does GOP keep assuming Hilary Clinton will win the Democratic nominee? lol

 

[rolaholic]

The GOP sure have made an artform out of fear mongering

 

[cash money 1999]

Trump seemed calmer and more composed for whatever reason .

 

[cash money 1999]

Why does GOP keep assuming Hilary Clinton will win the Democratic nominee? lol

because all of them would body her in a debate . Bernie the peoples champ and would actually challenge them .
Seems like the super delegates are starting to warm up to Bernie .

Trump was very presidential tonight, he may have sealed the deal.

 

[rolaholic]

Don't know if they'd body her in debates but that's definitely who they feel the best about facing and want to face...

Forgot there was a debate tonight, could've used a laugh or two.

 

[SC kid]

Was terribly boring

Nothing to laugh at, it was a peaceful debate. No arguing, no insults, nothing.

I almost think GOP debates purposely had some tense moments and insults in the past debates just to draw more viewers. It worked for many people I suppose.

tweet on 538 says Clinton leads Drumpf by 8 points in last 13 polls.

he exaggerates about everything.

loved Cruz's dig in the end.

 

[MVP]

Was as if they all surrendered to Drumpf, very puzzling considering all the tough talk. Maybe each is trying to position himself for a VP nod.

I think you're on to something. I think Drumpf staged the protestor getting punched to draw in viewers. honorable.

The real-life Gordon Gekko says Bernie Sanders is best chance to fix America's economic problems

“Well, I think it’s quite simple," Edelman began. "If you look at something called ‘velocity of money’ — you guys know what that is, I presume — that means how much gets spent and turns around. When you have the top one percent getting money, they spend five, ten percent of what they earn. When you have the lower end of the economy getting money, they spend a hundred, or a hundred and ten percent of what they earn. As you’ve had a transfer of wealth to the top, and a transfer of income to the top, you have a shrinking consumer base, basically, and you have a shrinking velocity of money. Bernie is the only person out there who I think is talking at all about both fiscal stimulation and banking rules that will get the banks to begin to generate lending again as opposed to speculation. So from an economic point of view, it’s straightforward.”

Wait,"grand cyclops" is actually a thing??

Those clowns kill me with their ridiculous titles

You can thank the Democrat Party for those ridiculous names.

The Democratic party made up the names and weird titles for Klan members?

The KKK was the military arm of the Democrat party.

Damn Fox News, back at it again with the shenanigans

 

[cl-1b]

Pure socialism tho... you can't deny that his policies reflect that type of rhetoric

Is socialism worse than fascism?

 

[blco02]

Socialism is facism. Hitler lead the National Socialist party.

Conservatives want less government, not more. More government is on the road to facism/socialism.

When you take newly earned tax revenue to expand a Government that needs to be gutted.... yes. 

I'm also so sick of hearing about all of this robin hood like wealth re-distribution as well. We need to de-regulate business and increase jobs and that is something that bernie sanders doesn't know how to do or create. 

 

[RustyShackleford]

Damn Fox News, back at it again with the shenanigans

-This dude has no idea what socialism is, he couldn't even actually explain

-Constant fear mongering without the video .

-Communism, socialism and Marxism just all being names for the same thing

-Bernie is not a socialist, he is a social democrat; and social democracy is based on capitalism

Let's keep doing the exact thing that make CEO's insanely richer and outsourced jobs out of this country.

What reality are you even living in?

But he wants to re-distribute the wealth of the most successful capitalists and tax them to death to pay for more government jobs. He has many socialist tendencies in his policies you can't deny that 

 

[blco02]

This doesn't sound like a capitalist to me.
