Do you mean that in the sense of "may you live in interesting times?"

[RedKing]

Well, the questions might be interesting.

"When you are elected President, what form of torture would you order on the illegitimate Kenyan Muslim socialist currently occupying the White House?"

EDIT:
This is, of course, a litmus test. Anything less than "drawing and quartering" is a RINO answer.

Do you mean that in the sense of "may you live in interesting times?"

Possibly. Though it might be an easier thing to do with 2 candidates on stage than four. Doubt we'll see it since the one on the 10th might be the last republican debate. http://www.2016presidentialdebateschedule.com/ has one on the 21st, but it doesn't seem like it has been set up yet.

Aw, redking shows up and he didn't take my bait. 

[Uzu Bash]

Really. Please elaborate.

Well, my argument is that they created a lot of confusion about their actions.  If this were true and they were successful, wouldn't that mean people such as ourselves would have different ideas about what they had done?

So you're saying because you were confused, they must have planned to cause confusion and were successful.

It could be so, like many other things that could be so.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Don't worry maniac, I'll take your bait.

Later.

I'm busy right now.

When did I say I was confused?  I said we disagreed.

Nah man, the moment is gone.

I switched the numbers to see if I could get anyone into a righteous fury.

Family, not me personally. I'm...eh. I'll vote against Trump if he's the nominee. I'll vote against Clinton if she's the nominee and the Republicans choose somebody besides Trump. Besides that...eugh.

Yeah, I made up my mind about that when he started shit-talking Senator McCain. And I wrote to him, warning him not to respond to him at all, because he's going to be toxic to everyone who touches him. I told him none of the candidates would have the choice not to be exposed to him, but that he did. Now the Republican party is stuck with a choice between two poison pills.

I'm positive I'm voting against Trump first and Bernie second. If it's Cruz, I'm not even going to bother. Cruz isn't getting my support and Clinton doesn't need mine against him anyway, it'll be a stroll for her.

Huh.

The opposite of the people who vote from Bernie first and Trump second. Interesting.

Heh. Just noticed Clinton has won 9 States, Sanders 8. Too bad the States she's winning, she's absolutely owning, thanks to #HillarySoBlack.

GLORY GLORY

I don't like how that hashtag makes it look like Hillary winning the black vote is somehow bad.

[Reelya]

I've noticed that Sanders beats Rubio, but Rubio beats Clinton in some polls. Basically, the Republicans fielding joke candidates means that the Democrats can foist an unliked establishment candidate on everyone else.

If Rubio was the front-runner then Sanders could point out that he's the only one who can beat Rubio. What I think is happening here is that the "anti-establishment protest vote" of the Republicans will jump ship from Rubio to Sanders, but not from Rubio to Clinton.

It's not that it's bad, it's that it's incomprehensible why black voters are flocking overwhelmingly to one white candidate over another white candidate, when the candidate they're flocking to is not particularly a lifelong crusader for African-American rights, while the candidate they're shunning was actually arrested for participating in the civil rights movement. I mean, the only conclusion is that somehow Hillary is seen as "more black" by the black community. Or, it may be that older African-Americans are just more conservative than their white Democratic counterparts (a distinct possibility, given the history of black opposition to LGBT rights).

It's also a response to the stupid #BernieSoWhite hashtag that started the whole thing.

[i2amroy]

Honestly a lot of it is also just simple name recognition. The vast majority of people (white, black, or whatever) don't actually put a ton of thought into studying which candidate they'll vote for, meaning that having a name that is already well-known vs. someone that you've never heard of can play a pretty big role.

[RedKing]

Well, the answer Redking is that Clinton does a better job at being personal. Calling families directly, showing up at community events, etc. She's better at campaigning.

I have an extremely hard time believing that H1LL-4RY, human-cyborg relations protocol droid, is more personable.

I didn't watch the debate, but am I to understand that she tried talking over Sanders, he told her "Excuse me, I'm talking", and now her camp is claiming that it's sexism? 
I've seen the clip. It's not like he said, "Shut and make me a sammich, woman."
If they're gonna gasp and swoon over a relatively polite pushback like that, what are the gonna do when Trump likely DOES say "Shut up and make me a sammich"?

Also, she supported "safe fracking"? WTH is safe fracking? They're only going to pump Crayola non-toxic chemicals into the water table? Any support for fracking is a non-starter for me.
Dammit Clinton, stop making me want to vote Trump.
