@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

I dont think the democratic party is willing to vote for someone who is against birth control.  The pope would need to run as a third party challenger.
Democratic party as in the establishment, the people who actually vote in primaries, the media, or some sort of combo?

Pretty liberal.  And besides, 90% of democrats favor birth control and how many things gets 90% of democrats to agree?.  Anti-abortion would be a stretch but maybe just barely possible.  Heck, I dont even know if the republicans could get an anti-contraception candidate nominated for president.

Right now My top three GOP candidates are Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Ben Carson wait, that guy's an idiot
Well I hate the rest of them so I'll just stick to Bush/Rubio
I really need to do more research on these candidates though

Its one issue though, but I reckon you could pull a buncha other reasons why he ain't getting in.  (And other legal issues too.)  The pope would be a different brand of Trump for one...

I love how Nate Silver's political map of the republican candidates literally has Trump placed off the chart.

Link to it? I can't find it on the 538 site, or maybe I'm not looking in the right place (yes I'm looking in the politics section).

This video is showcased on the front page of the Donald's website.

I want to say it's unbelievable, but...it isn't.

EDIT: It also appears that I have a fabulous new avatar. Also, yep, that's a real quote.

This is how the world ends, this is how the world ends. Not with a bang, but with trump getting really popular with millennials by embracing his own punch-line status.

It worked for Shatner.  A shame he was technically born in Canada...President Kirk has a nice ring to it.

Even Nate Silver's polisci cannot contain the Trump.

Quote from: Revelation 13:11-14
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

I felt sorry for the guy holding the Vatican flag as it kept bonking him. Also, is the vatican flag made of a lighter material than the US flag? Certainly looked like it.
