They're going to forget they ever said anything bad about Clinton and lock ranks to stop "evil racist insane billionaire" Trump from winning, same as every other primary ever. Clinton might even give Sanders some inconsequential position in her cabinet to keep the Free Shit wing of the Democratic Party happy.

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

The prospect of a third clinton government sounds like an announced disaster though. I know people who'd actually ally with what they consider IRL Hitler Lex Luthor Megasatan then allow another Clinton to climb onto the presidential chair, and  I honestly can't fault them for it :v

Ironically, the only amurican friend I have that never bought into Bernie's speech and hates Hillary with a passion is a transgirl from a unitarian-left leaning family of doctors. All others are dead sure Trump is the antichrist, even the atheists (IE 90% of them).

The right is kinda self sabotaging itself though. The "omggg tr00 conservatives" like Ben Shapiro have been badmouthing Trump for a while now, and now face the prospect of a Hillary government, easily their worst nightmare.

Is she not voting? Voting for Trump? Voting for Hillary but holding her nose? Too young to vote?

Personally, I'm like "Ha ha, at least Hillary isn't Martha Coakley"
In 2001, Coakley successfully lobbied Acting Gov. Jane Swift to deny clemency to Gerald Amirault, a defendant in the Fells Acres Day Care Center preschool trial, whom many regarded as a victim of day care sex abuse hysteria. Prior to this, clemency for Amirault had been recommended unanimously by the Massachusetts Parole Board,.[7] Amirault's co-accused mother and sister had already been released from custody.[8] Wall Street Journal editorial board member Dorothy Rabinowitz cites Coakley's pursuit of the case despite lack of corroborating evidence as an example of questionable judgment on Coakley's part.[8]

...

In 2010, Coakley helped draft a Massachusetts law regulating obscenity on the internet. In a decision celebrated by civil rights advocates, the law was overturned by a federal judge after a coalition of booksellers and website publishers sued, claiming the new law was unconstitutional and would hold criminally liable anyone who operates a website containing nudity or sexual material including subjects such as art or even health information such as pregnancy or birth control. They said the law failed to distinguish between open websites and obscene material. Federal Judge Rya W. Zobel stated that the plaintiffs demonstrated “without question’’ that the law violated the First Amendment by infringing on and inhibiting free speech.[31]

Voting for Trump. In fact, she's rather supportive of Trump overall, mainly because he's the most anti-stablishment candidate with a chance, and Hillary was literally her least favorite from the get go. In fact, she's mostly distanced herself from the left in the latest years because the left became increasingly more shady.

Honestly, amurican left is becoming increasingly more like south american left, which is something you, should, in fact, be scared of.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/27/politics/ted-cruz-carly-fiorina-vice-president/ SERIOUSLY!!!?!?

That is just such lol!............

Also seemed kind of a fast thing to do, I mean, he's got two months before he absolutely HAS to announce.

Also stayed up all night binge reading the darths and droids comic from the start, finished a bit ago, so, I might seem slightly sleep deprived with overreaction.

Though really, 99.9% of my surprise is coming from him announcing it so fast.

Announcing NOW is a stragetic blunder IMO because he is stuck with the choice and his choice might very well affect the voting ahead.

Plus it seems like he didn't vet her for very long, but what do I know. He could be making the same mistake as McCain did with Palin.

Also, an 'emergency snapchat' from 538 on it: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/can-carly-fiorina-save-ted-cruzs-candidacy/ The times are Eastern I think.... so, a bit over an hour ago.

edit: I had a thought, it could also be a ploy to make Trump do a VP selection earlier than he would prefer
