If you reckon Bernie and his supporters are annoying... try meeting an Australian Bernie supporter. A mate of mine is so into it. He's changed his FB profile pic, he has a Bernie T-shirt and he shoves it down your throat.

I get being into American politics, it's very interesting and I love it, but I find it really fucking weird and borderline insane for someone who is not American nor lives there to be so into it - IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

Even more hilarious was ABC News Australia posting about the AP/presumptive nominee story this morning, and all the top comments were from Australian Bernie Bros angry at the ABC for their Hillary bias. "It's not decided until July 25!!!" they scream.

LuckyNumber7 · 06-06-2016, 11:15 PM

Don't let Axver hear that.

LuckyNumber7 · 06-06-2016, 11:20 PM

WAIT. It was a joke. Don't get mad at me. Please.

We clearly need another inquiry into the ABC, this time about its right-wing bias.

I'm going to appoint your mate to be the chair, because that's how this process is meant to work.

Looks like Crooked Donald paid off the Florida AG to drop that state's investigation into Trump "University"

Well she's white so she upholds American values.

Oh shit, I'm not supposed to talk about that...

I can't wait for the first debate.

Though part of me is really sad that our political system has been reduced to bad reality tv, the entertainment factor will be thru the roof.

Donald trying to debate policy will be interesting. I don't think he even will try. Instead he'll resort to name calling or possibly even back out of the debates because of some bias.

Clinton was announced the winner last night / today. I would even say that's a lil premature just out of class, but it is over. She'll wipe up NJ, and hard to say on CA.

In 2008 Clinton won CA over Obama, but it didn't matter. She had a more viable complaint about contested convention back then as FL and MI primaries didn't count. For all the BernieBro complaints about the super delegates always being for Clinton, the same was said in 2008.

Difference is Obama won the states that mattered and got the popular vote (tho Clinton disputes that too). The Supers then switched over to him and the rest is history.

Sanders could have had that happen too, but he had a lot going against him. For starters he's not even a democrat, and lastly, and most importantly, he just didn't win enough.

No conspiracy. He just lost. But maybe a more progressive plan can work its way into the D party after seeing the passion during this season. Maybe more progressives get into congress because of Bernie.

It'll be interesting to see how Clinton shapes her campaign going forward. Will she pick someone left of her for VP? Does she get a Centrist like her to try and get some of the disgruntled GOP?

This will be an election that people will talk about going forward for a long, long time

Racist!

trojanchick99 · 06-07-2016, 10:46 AM

Paul Ryan has "disavowed" Trump's racist comments, but hasn't withdrawn support. The GOP is now openly supporting a racist. Fantastic.

BEAL · 06-07-2016, 11:21 AM

Haha. Yeah, literally a message board I go to for Hawkeye support has a thread saying the exact same thing.

If you believe Trump is still just a troll (taking it as far as he can), he's done this brilliantly. Now all the GOP members of congress have to answer the questions of supporting a racist for their nominee. How awkward.

What's the convention going to be like???

Just talking about this with my wife last night. The first debate is going to be IN SANE. The ratings will be off the charts. But besides that, it will be so compelling to finally see Trump have to debate against policy.

My guess is that he will stay stuck in the mode he was in for the republican debates, which will get him nowhere.
He will make all personal attacks. And I think that Clinton will be ready to bat them back effectively using policy, and his own words against him.

I also would think there is a 95% chance that Trump will get caught up not knowing some very crucial/obvious information about foreign policy, military, or economy... Starting to reveal to the important middle of the road general election voter, just how vapid he is.

Really can't wait.

anitram · 06-07-2016, 12:00 PM

I can see Trump showing up to the first debate, doing poorly and then refusing to show up to the other two citing media bias, persecution, Hillary stacking the audience with Democrats, Mexicans operating the cameras and so on.

BigMacPhisto · 06-07-2016, 12:44 PM

We really should just call everyone that votes for Trump a racist. Because...

1) You're supporting a racist. And that can't even be argued at this point.

and

2) There's no fucking point. Even if you want to stop Clinton and/or prefer right-wing politics, Donald doesn't have a chance in hell. So why not spare yourself voting for a racist and therefore being a racist by default when the idiot is going to lose big time anyway?

Clinton is only sorta-racist in my book...what with her superpredators comment, race baiting '08 campaign, being a Goldwater girl, shamelessly saying Obama's name every thirty seconds in a debate to pander to blacks because she thinks they're of low intelligence, etc. She's the sort of racist that's mostly reformed but yells the n-word out if she accidentally stubs her toe.

trojanchick99 · 06-07-2016, 12:50 PM

Wow. You do realize that President Obama is very popular with ALL Democrats, right? I mean, his approval numbers are sky high with Dems. So, if I'm a Democrat running for President, you bet I'm going to mention the current President. I mean, that's a no-brainer.

Honestly, BigMacPhisto, that comment along with others you've made makes YOU seem racist. Just saying.

Says the poster that said blacks can't think for themselves and there's no changing "these people's minds".

As far as the debates; they should be entertaining but for the most part useless. Trump will fail miserably but it won't phase his minions, they'll follow him into hell. There might be a few that will develop buyers remorse. And the blogs will write his praises for a personal attack on their sworn enemy.
