And it's beginning to sound like the reason they cancelled last night's rally in Chicago was because there were a lot of people who were antiDrumpf in - nic to be determined Mar 12, 14:43 1
- It was held on a college campus in a very liberal area, its not like people had to organize and travel, it was right there in their front yard -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 12, 15:47
Trump Supporter Who Made Nazi Salute Explains Why She Made the Gesture -- (link) - ty97 Mar 12, 14:42 7
- More interesting than the people talking past each other to me is her motivation "he seems like the guy to [break up the Republican Party]" - Reagen Mar 12, 15:08 1
  - Well, if Trump doesn't get the nomination, surely her preference would be for Trump to run as an independent, or start a third party. -- nm - mara Mar 12, 15:11
- That is what I thought initially. Either a plant in the crowd. Or she was mocking a protester's absurdity - Bacon Mar 12, 15:00 4
  - Of course, this is what she is saying the next day. -- nm - ty97 Mar 12, 15:13 2
    - Yeah, when you have time to come up with a story you can sometimes do pretty well. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 15:14 1

LYC: As an Evertonian that was nearly a perfect match. DVR delayed but having watched 😊!!!! - JD Mar 12, 13:49
In which my mayor subtweets John Legend subtweeting Donald Trump JR (and in which my major flat out calls Trump Sr a racist) -- (link*) - ty97 Mar 12, 13:47 5
- Those are direct replies, rather than subtweets, aren't they? -- nm - mara Mar 12, 13:51 4
  - subtweet: tweeting at someone without @ mentioning them. generally a derogatory tweet. - Tim Mar 12, 13:54 3
    - Huh. I thought replying with comment was a subtweet. Shows what I know. -- nm - ty97 Mar 12, 13:57 2
      - Ah..yes..,how technology marches on. If you had posted that in the early days of this board; we might think you were delirious. Subtweet? ;-) -- nm - JD Mar 12, 14:01
      - This is a subtweet. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 12, 13:59

- no idea. -- nm - Diva Mar 12, 13:54
- it's the first, straight up gaffe I've seen from her this time. - Mel Profit Mar 12, 13:22
- She had a brain fart. All I can think about is she defaulted to the rise of Aids and who was in the white house at the time. - Bacon Mar 12, 13:17 2
  - Or maybe she misread some short-hand notes ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 13:25 1
    - IIRC Nancy did come around but much later when people she knew started dying, just like she became pro alzheimers research only after she learned stem - zeitgeist Mar 12, 15:50
Rod Streater defected from the Raiders to the Chiefs. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 13:09 5
- defected = escaped to. -- nm - Remlik Mar 12, 13:30 4
  - True but if you look at the Raiders over the next 5 years compared to the Chiefs? - Spawn Mar 12, 13:51 3
    - Streater is literally roster bubble fodder--likely the Raiders didn't want him back - ML Mar 12, 13:54 1
      - Yup. And he is already used to not catching touch downs, so... -- nm* - Spawn Mar 12, 14:07
    - that's true. -- nm - Remlik Mar 12, 13:52
"Make Anime Great Again" - Spawn Mar 12, 13:08
"Has anybody bought that wine? I want to know what that wine tastes like. I mean, come on. You know that's like some $5 wine. They slap a label on it" -- (link) - sweet baboo Mar 12, 13:04
Trump is giving so much cover to Cruz right now. It almost seems like a conspiracy to elect Cruz - Bacon Mar 12, 12:43 35
- Other than that whole "Trump is nearing victory" thing - Will Hunting Mar 12, 12:45 34
  - I think once the other two are gone it evens up. Honestly, I hope this is the case. - Bacon Mar 12, 12:47 33
    - [deleted] 22
      - Yup. of the next two months, Cruz probably gets Arizona and Utah, but the rest is likely to fall to Trump. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 13:03 1
        
        this Tuesday will either be his Waterloo, or his Gateway To the Nom! -- nm - mud Mar 12, 13:06
      - In a 1-on-1 race where the candidates are Trump and NotTrump, his odds improve in those states. - ty97 Mar 12, 12:57 18
        
        [deleted] 17
        
        I think best case is that, on-one-one, Cruz stops him from reaching delegate count. - ty97 Mar 12, 13:07 16
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        FWIW, I've wavered for some time between "Hilary could probably beat Trump easily so this is good" and "But Trump just can't be the nominee!" -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 12, 13:13 5
        
        The other scenario is that Cruz gets the nom and gets into the White House so fuck that shit. -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 13:15 4
        
        A Cruz general election is a more predictable and manageable fight though. There's a possible error assuming Trump can't win. -- nm - ty97 Mar 12, 13:29
        
        I was watching Cruz last night talking about Drumpf - Mel Profit Mar 12, 13:27 1
        
        Yeah, Ted strats off making some sense. - Spawn Mar 12, 14:13

        I am guessing he means Rubio who won in Puerto Rico? -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 13:14 6
        
        nope, Virgin Islands's 6 delegates have declared themselves uncommitted to either Cruz or Trump -- (link) - sweet baboo Mar 12, 13:16 4
        
        Don't 20% of GOP delegates go to Cleveland unbound? -- nm* - ty97 Mar 12, 13:33 1
        
        This article says more than 90% are bound. -- (link) - mara Mar 12, 13:37
        
        Aaah, hadn't hear that one -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 13:17

      - In this case I would be happy to be wrong. I hope so -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 12:56
    - Given the absurdity of what he's done, I ain't saying shit about his chances in November. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 12, 12:50 1
      - it's hard to underestimate the degree to which voters at large will reject him -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 12, 12:51
    - (Some) Republicans have this fantasy that she ends up indicted over the email thing. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 12:50 7
      - what about some local DA arresting her, even though it would be squashed before they get to the booking station, there will be video of the perp walk -- nm - on endless loop Mar 12, 12:53 5
        
        I think that would do the exact opposite of what you think. Even Bernie's folks would rally behind her -- nm - Beaker Mar 12, 13:27
        
        It would have to be federal. She broke no state law. -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 12:54 3
        
        What was the legal standing for the guy in NOLA to have a trial over the JFK assasination? - zeitgeist Mar 12, 13:03 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Conspiracy to murder? -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 13:06
      - Heh, yeah keep wishing that people -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 12:51
Today's IPO: Transformers 6 H$100. Strangely, my port is up 6M instead of way down. -- nm - GregW Mar 12, 12:07 6
- I went long, but conceptually I don't think the film works. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 12:41 5
  - That didn't stop the first five. -- nm - GregW Mar 12, 13:12
  - I guess a better example (from earlier logic) might be Star Wars: Chewbacca. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 13:00 3
    - Oh, yes, this is very accurate. Incomprehensible speech, but integral character. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 13:12
    - Unsubtitled. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 13:04 1
      - Certainly. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 13:05

- And the Madlib headline writers wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer. -- nm - Reagen Mar 12, 12:03
- One can hope? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 11:59 9
  - I stongly disagree with you. He may have been annoying but he helped so many people. -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 12:06 8
    - No, you're right. Reading the article, it sounds pretty sad and potentially horrible. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 12:30 7
      - I don't want to take the time to read it. Dementia? -- nm - Bacon Mar 12, 12:31 6

        No, more like controlling manager and housekeeper. -- nm - mara Mar 12, 12:39
