If a university offers you a scholarship as a student or a tenured track position as a professor, there are some good reasons right off the bat to consider going there to learn or work. And now they have to deal with this gun shit. Ugh. | ||

Paul Ryan is looking towards 2020. Mitchell McConnell is just corrupt. Reince Priebus is just desperate to save his job. | ||

Well he's still a religious nutjob but at least he doesn't seem to be advocating violence as a political tool. Also I don't think that the Republican party would reorient itself towards a radical candidate but rather a centre-right one in 2020. They will never win an election again if they continue to screw over all but one demographic in the US, they must notice that at some point. Their voterbase is literally dying out | ||

Like it or not, there is now going to be a "Trump Party" within the Republican Party. If they disown him then they lose his supporters too. | ||

- AUGUST 09, 2016 - TRUMP CAMPAIGN STATEMENT ON DISHONEST MEDIA “It’s called the power of unification – 2nd Amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified, which gives them great political power. And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump.” - Jason Miller, Senior Communications Advisor (That's the whole release, not a snippet, if you don't want to follow the link.) It looks like they are switching to ignoring rather than engaging media scandals. I think that's the right move. I don't think a Republican can ever win again if they let the media control the conversation. Wikileaks wants to solve the murder of this guy, in case something fishy were going on? Seems like flirting with conspiracy people, but anyway, interesting times we live in. | ||

Mitchell McConnell is just corrupt. Reince Priebus is just desperate to save his job. The Ryan/Walker sub-primary will be fun. Which gets the establishment blessing? I'm not sure you can have two Wisconsinites running. Not enough space! Also Trump doing what he does best, making sane people (supporters of second amendment rights who are worried about Democrat appointed justices overturning Heller) look dumb. It should be obvious by now that Trump speaks for himself, but apparently we will all get branded with it, because it's convenient. | ||

Instead he couldnt resist shooting himself in the foot and then doing it again and then shooting the other foot for good measure just to make sure there was no way for him to win. The only time Trump was winning in the poll average was between conventions. Before his convention the race tightened somewhat, but he certainly wasn't winning. | ||

I didn't know that, in some states, private organization manage the voting database. Scary. https://youtu.be/Gg9cauzuEsw Why take with grain of salt,it makes sence what he says and I do not think he is making things up. This is very disturbing tbh, but it does not seem to bother any of the americans here. Wonder what is needed to open the eyes of some people. Or maybe they just don't care because its in favor of the candidate they support. | ||
