2016 U.S. Presidential Election

[George]

Very sad how he left, one guy went 'aww' when he said he was dropping out. Jeb!, the end of the Bush dynasty.

[Barry the Nomad]

Jeb is a mess.

Anyone here heard of a show called Question Time here in the UK?

They were talking about the presidential election and the question of Trump came up. Some of the people talking opened quite a lot people's eyes to the way the system works in American and just how easy it is for someone like Trump to win.

Jeb dropped out!?

[George]

Jesus, Trump can turn anything around.

[Tad]

Jesus, Trump can turn anything around.

Think alarm bells in politicians elsewhere have just realised this. They're not too happy with the thought of him holding the keys to the US.

Clinton doesn't know the difference between the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

She seriously has no idea why this country was founded.

[George]

Guys, shes only been doing this for 25+ years, give her a break.

I know its a broken record but man... she needs to take her own advice. You'd think she'd understand that with the internet people can look up shit you said and stuff you have done:

Plus the whole "All Republicans should release their transcripts" thing really pissed me off. She's suppose to be a leader? Come the fuck on.

Ben Carson dropped out of the race.


I'm really, really sad about this. By far the most honest and likeable candidate in the entire race, regardless of party affiliations. He started at the bottom tier and had a massive surge for a while. I was estatic in October and November of 2015, a period in which Carson was towering over Trump.


Oh, well... He lasted way longer than a lotta people were expecting considering that he was not an establishment candidate and not a carrer politician. Outlasted Carly Fiorina, Jindal, Christie and Rand Paul, which is saying something.




Here's hoping Kasich drops out too. So we can have a Rubio / Cruz / Trump knife fight to the death!


Also, Christie's Expression goes Viral!

[pcm92]

^...or just Cruz and Rubio. Or just Cruz. Yeah. Just Cruz. Rubio should also drop out. Carson hasn't officially dropped out. He just wants to avoid the debate tomorrow.

[Spock]

It would actually be safe to say that Ted Cruz won in Minnesota. Sure Marco Rubio really won. It was just the only state that he did win, and Ted Cruz still came in second there. I have said quite often that Minnesota is so liberal that they could almost be considered for withdrawing their statehood. I mean, some of their citizens already speak a little French. That means they could start their own personal country or join Canada, doesn't it?

[George]

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are typical nonsense retarded politicians. First of all saying that America has no socialism embedded is retarded considering their all for more funding in the Military which is a social program. They are for helping vets, which will be done with social programs.

Can you imagine a world where private companies would run:
- K-12 schooling
- Roads
- National Parks (would be raped for profit by now)
- Fire Fighters
- Police
- Military (Private Military contracts are the worse as history shows and more expensive)
- No social security

Honestly, socialist programs are fine to protect basic rights we should have. That is the point of taxes, to go back to programs me and you can enjoy. I find it ironic that all these Republicans hate social programs yet want to add MORE money into Military... WTF?



Let's be rational here, what has spending 600 billion a year gotten us as citizens? More terrorist, more broken lives and more people that hate us.

The spending on the military makes even less sense when you compare it to other countries:


^ Also consider most of those countries are our allies. Maybe we should scale back a bit, huh?

[pcm92]

Your favorite candidate has a much worse plan. Make the U.S. economy that of countries in northern Europe. The U.S. is definitely in debt. Sure. Guess who the richest country still is though.

Are you suggesting the U.S. print massive amounts of money until everything is just made up of the stuff? How can people go to college for free if every Democratic president in the past has promised the same thing?

Ted Cruz isn't perfect, but he's a lot better than a thief version of Orville Redenbacher.
