It really just sounds like you want less democrats to vote. People are not less educated because they disagree with you.

the race between Bush and Cruz is the real story here. Both at 11.6% according to WashingtonPost right now 
Clinton apparently also below 40% atm
|
Please for the love of god just beat Rubio, Jeb!

That speech by Clinton was a mess. It was like she was shooting shit at a wall with a high velocity cannon.
|

It's really falling apart.
Now she's going to make the case for campaign finance reform while simultaneously claiming she alone is above it's influence.

That's the plan. Democrats need to be stopped from voting. Why win votes when you can just stop them from voting at all?

So, I realize I'm late to the party and all, but if tonight goes the way it has been going, I'm 2/2 for predictions so far. Woot.
Politics got less stressful when I stopped worrying about who was right and started being interested in who was winning. #yaynihilism

We all know it's $27 hahaha

In the end, it will be Bernie Sanders vs The Don for the presidential seat.
The primary vision in Hillary's campaign is that she is a woman, you can fool girls who can't think for themselves but smart people will say "So what?".
Bernie Sanders' vision is to turn USA into a communism country. Donny's vision is to push capitalism to its apex.
Now it just depends on what Americans wants of their nation.

Yea that's actually really funny. Hadn't thought of it
Sanders - 59%
Clinton - 38%
This is a fucking walloping. RCP had a +13 point margin for Sanders. Outperformed polls again, winning independents something like 72%-28% against Clinton

Next comes the proletariat revolution, I guess?
I really don't think what he is advocating is communist, as such. I also rarely hear what Donny's vision actually beyond it will be fantastic and I'll hire guys, you'll never heard of before. They'll be great, way better than the current guys.

We aren't even done yet in NH. That lead could increase. Right now it's 60.5 to 38.4 according to this.

This like the independents number in NH is one more reason why Bernie is the stronger candidate for the general
|
eh, so Carson is indeed going to continue?

If he does it's strictly to sell books/stick it to Cruz out of spite.
He still has money coming in and going out they want to spend up that cash before calling an end to it, don't be surprised if it ends abruptly.
Republican Race will be over by super Tuesday though.
|
Can't wait for Bernie's autobiography. He's too good
|
He gets me every time he talks about his early life/parents. It's one of the few times you can tell how much this means him. Such touching moments
|
New Hampshire is clearly feeling dat Bern
