2016 Election Thread (My God Kill Me Now)

[Gashouse]

I read a couple articles today, including Op-Eds in the WSJ, where it seemed like the GOP was finally happy about something Trump was doing. They've got to be now. Not that they weren't already, but he can't seem to go more than a few hours without pissing off his party leaders.

WTF. WTF. WTF.

You know I was going to say this is as bizarre as it can get but I'm sure we are going to see bizarre-topping bizarre for the next four months.

Reports that Trump tried to get out of his pick of Pence after it was too late.

Why are any of you surprised? This is his favorite thing to do!

I don't think Bernie voters disappointed with not getting a more progressive candidate should fret bc I listened to conservative talk radio last night and Hillary is actually MORE LIBERAL than Obama...we're talking the abolishment of religion, using police to jail political opponents and even more transformation than PBO. Democrats, who I was told are the Party of Evil, will also silence conservative talk radio.

I recommend everyone listen to at least 20 minutes of RW radio a day...I am prob someone they consider an enemy and I never even realized how nefarious I am. You'll all learn how devious you truly are as well.

More noise about Vilsack:

Is Potential Clinton VP Tom Vilsack the Best-Kept Secret in Politics?

Meanwhile, Vilsack's image as the least interesting man in the world conceals a quiet intensity born of a compelling personal story that includes addiction and violence.

Vilsack started life at an orphanage in Pittsburgh. His adoptive mother struggled with alcohol and prescription drug abuse, disappearing from her family for hours in the attic during benders. In junior high, Vilsack watched her attempt to commit suicide — an experience he has recounted publicly as the head of a White House task force to address opioid abuse in rural America.

But it took a tragedy to start his political career. In 1986, Vilsack was practicing law in the small town of Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, where his wife's family lived, when a disgruntled resident killed mayor Edd King during a city council meeting.

Vilsack helped raise money for a memorial fund, and one day King's father, Iliff, visited Vilsack in his office. They didn't know each other well, but Iliff, tears in his eyes, asked Vilsack if he would considering running to replace his son. Vilsack agreed and won.

It also says he's known Hillary for 40 years. He seems like a good man but he still plays the game, so....

I heard some poll that said Hillary Clinton has the 2nd most unfavorable rating of any presidential candidate in the HISTORY of polls. Fortunately for her lol is her opponent is THE most unfavorable candidate in the history of polling. And the current President sucks too!

Discontent I guess is the word with the voters, huh?
