My lord! This guy is so fucking stupid.

"In God we trust".

Hopefully he will die sooner than later and God will pimp slap him in the face so hard that his hair falls to earth.

They'll need several Hollywood Squares sets for the GOP debates. What a clusterfuck.

Way too many, especially Trump, are wackos, radicals, and extremists. That being, said, as of right now, I'm voting Walker. Not that Illinois primaries matter, though.

I remember during the whole Obama birth certificate fiasco, he was parading around saying he was so proud of himself for getting the White House to release it, but that he wasn't going to buy it until he himself was shown the original documents.

Some guy in the audience asked him how he had anything to do with it or why he in particular deserved to see them, and Trump went on a tangent about how now that he set the birth cert issue to rest, the country can now talk about more important issues. The guy remarked that Trump didn't answer his question at all. Trump's reply was, "I think I did. Moving on..."

I look forward to watching more of that.

Yup all in on Bernie Sanders. Watch for it...

Also showing my support for Bernie Sanders. Missouri allows voting for primaries, so I'll definitely be adding my two cents then.

I do not support anyone running for President. This Bernie Sanders shit is laughable. The US style of democracy is very good at giving people the illusion of choice It doesn't really matter if we vote in a bag of dicks or the second coming of Jesus, the policies are already in place and certain themes will continue until they have run their course.

It would be nice to see the US system shift towards a technocracy. Sure, lawyers are good at writing the actual laws, but that doesn't mean they should be the ones coming up with them. I'd rather have people in power who understand issues instead of just being good at debating or raising money and repeating their parties political ideologies.

I always find USA a bit weird as 'celebrities' go on to become politicians.

Ronald Reagan,
Arnold Schwarzenegger,

Now Trump?

Honestly seems like a bit of a joke to me.

Bernie Sanders would be in his fucking 80's if he won two terms. He's older NOW than Reagan was when he took office, and that's a complaint I always hear about him "REAGAN WAS SO OLD AND STUFF". I'm just not comfortable with someone that old running our country.

Posted: Jun 28 2015 07:16 pm

Yeah, fuck old people!

I'm fine with an old president just as long as they are white and male.

Oh my God, so many of my fellow Sydlexians support Sanders, a socialist...I've failed you Ronald Reagan!!!

I don't support Sanders. For all I know someone with that last name might try to fry us all up and serve us in buckets to hungry people.

On a serious note, my previous comment which seems to have been lost in all of this:

Up 'till now, I had supported Hillary Clinton, but one google search of Bernie Sanders changed all that. This guy is presidential material, hands down. I support everything in his platform and he has little to no blood on his hands for his competitors to negatively campaign against him.

His age is the only problem on the grounds that being president speeds up aging so he probably won't live for two full terms. I sure hope he chooses a solid running mate if he's nominated and elected.

Given Cattivo's residence and this way of thinking, I feel I should share this piece of news.

The government is always looking for a piece of the action. As Reagan used to say: "Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it."

Holy shit. Trump just read aloud Lindsey Graham's private cell phone number during a press conference. I knew he was shameless, but I didn't think he'd actually do something like that in the primary. Probably because I didn't think he'd last anywhere near this long.

Can't wait for this clown to be gone. His anti-establishment attitude can easily be adopted by a more responsible candidate in order to eliminate this craziness. Just waiting for Trump to put on Joker or troll makeup now after this Graham thing.

Indeed. I think part of the problem though, is that there's so many candidates, that the one shouting at the press the loudest gets the most attention, and therefore, the plurality of the support. Maybe when at least ten of these wackos dropout, then maybe the opposition to him can coalesce around one or two candidates.

Rooting for a Walker/Kasich ticket as of right now. I would want Fiorina involved, but she has never won an election before. Hoping Jeb gets shot down. Just as I don't want a second Clinton, I don't want a third Bush. Smacks too much of royal dynasties (In 2000, I supported McCain in the primaries).
