Here's How Donald Trump Could Become President

[toubab]

Really? You're deaf then.

Name one. He's behind schedule to get there right now, according to everything I'm reading and hearing.

Then you're reading news from 2002.

No, I'm reading news from right now. Such as this from 538:

Trump only has 96% of delegates he should have at this point. Hillary has 111% of delegates she should have at this point.

Who?
His opinion matters about as much to me as anyone else's, even less since you seem to consider him some sort of authority to be listened to.

 

[Adre]

For Faber the end is always near. I keep noticing the end never seems to actually arrive.

Holy shit. I'm sorry I thought you had a clue.

I wasn't under that impression about you.

I think Hillary is going to be president. Trump will be the GOP nominee, disaffected republicans will field a 3rd party candidate, split the ticket and Hillary will win.

Hillary may become president, but I'm quite sure it won't be because disaffected Republicans field a third party candidate. I know the Republicans have done a lot of stupid things in the past, but they can't be that stupid.

 

[Sean Renaud]

The question for a lot of them has to be if Trump is better than Hillary though.

The rumblings seem to indicate they're teeing Mittens up.

If they field a third party candidate, not only will they be certain to lose the presidential election, they will probably lose control of the Senate, and possibly even the House. They would have to be complete morons to do that.

Over 30% of republican primary voters say they will vote for a 3rd party candidate if Trump is the nominee.
In some stated last Tue the number was as high as 60%

I don't know how you figure that. A lot of people don't vote a straight party ticket

Which is clear evidence it would be incredibly stupid to field a third party candidate.

A lot do. Enough to matter.

The GOP might dig up a juice scandal from Trumps closet (surely he has a few) but not leak it til the primaries are nearly over.
Then Trump is booted for it, Cruz would be far short of 1237, so the reps could justifiably choose any candidate they care to.
That's how I'd do it.

 

[Hypoxia]

Many do. Many don't. And many, those REALLY pissed at the head of the ticket, vote against whom they hate and ignore the rest of the ballot. Candidates for governor or president get more votes than propositions and other state-wide slots here in California. But a REALLY unpopular head-of-ticket candidate usually drags down others in their party. That's the hope.

Such a "nice clean hit" may take out ordinary pols. Tromp will merely flip the bird to whoever outs him. "Hell yeah I fucked my daughter, wouldn't you? Naw, you're too pussy to try." "Fuck yeah I sold white Baptist girls as sex slaves to Saddam Hussein, wouldn't you? It was a helluva deal."

How bout if Trump is actually Chelsea's dad?
Not even that?

Pics of him at a glory hole sucking Bernie's dick?

 

[Sean Renaud]

Is them losing the House even plausible?

 

[Liar]

Plausible? No. Possible? Maaaaaybe. Too much districting bs against it. The Dems need a deep state legislature strategy and a decade to change that.

You think proof that Tromp pwns the Clintons will hurt him? Ha. "I fucked Hillary before and I'll fuck her again now!" Instant win.

If it's a true GH we won't know whose dick it is. And Tromp would blame impostors.

Still, we can expect some really nasty displays of depravity. Stay tuned.

Obama got the federal debt to more than double, Hillary will probably triple it....

 

[Sean Renaud]

Obama got the federal debt to more than double, Hillary will probably triple it....

Highly unlikely unless something changes radically in the world during her term and she gets eight years. It's not impossible mind you simply unlikely.

Also it's not like Bush didn't double the debt and with less excuse.

PS: If we care about accuracy Obama didn't REALLY double the debt. But honesty is wasted on us all.

Debt – The U.S. government’s debt owed to the public has more than doubled. It is now more than $13.6 trillion, an increase of 116 percent since Obama first took office.

And the debt also has grown dramatically even when measured as a percentage of the growing economy, from 52 percent of gross domestic product at the end of fiscal year 2009 to just under 74 percent at the end of fiscal 2015, according to the most recent estimate by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
