Ohio has faired somewhat better than Michigan in terms of recovering from the 2008 recession, so it isn't altogether that surprising that Sanders is not performing as well there. That said, Sanders definitely didn't expect a loss this big. | ||

I think the reason here is that politics is dull and tedious. Hillary Clinton is probably the second best public speaker in US politics behind her husband. As for those who make it more interesting, one of my favourite sayings is: for every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong. | ||

Trump is generating the most excitement and pulling huge crowds anywhere he goes. Trump has Reagan'd you all and he'll win you all over yet. Thank god America is going for the icon of Capitalism instead of the Communist Jew. Whew, Bernie pretended you could be Norway but was going to turn you into Brazil. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/hNpKDzi) On March 16 2016 10:01 On_Slaught wrote: Religion tests!

Watching anyone is relatively speaking. But when policy is the topic and sound bites don't cut it, she comes off better than any politician I've seen lately. | ||

We are living in amazing times. with respect to hillary and corporatism, i'll say this. she relies on left leaning mainstream economists, who were as a group more rightwing in the 90's than now. economics as a discipline is just improved with more focus on development dynamics, inequality and whatnot. it's fortunate that economists are respectful of empirical data and the models do have space to incorporate empirically observed concerns as they arise. so while it would probably be correct to criticize clinton administration for failing to address the downside of their liberalization policies, the 'establishment' is giving proper attention to the issue and there is really a path forward without need for radical revolution. there is some on the left that think being involved in corporate issues is contamination but like it or not government has to foster a good business environment. it is important to distinguish between being pro-business as an interest group and pro-growth, which should involve vigorously enforcing anti-monopoly measures and really try to build a long term strategy for controlling global capital. | ||

But only ban them temporarily, of course, while we develop our questionnaire to confirm the ones we let in aren't terrorists. | ||

Like... the worst thing that can happen is that he is hilarious. No, he's a moron. You don't want a moron in charge of the most powerful army in the world. That is not hilarious. Oh, and @Souma: yeah, it's really scary how the GOP have the choice between a moron and a lunatic. But at least I'm confident the lunatic cannot win the general. | ||
