It's probably going to end up as Trump vs Clinton or Sanders

If anything it'll be Hillary vs. Trump or Cruz. It's very close to mathematically impossible for Sanders to win the nomination now, and realistically speaking he won't get it.

The interesting factor here is if Trump doesn't manage to pull out the delegate count and what will happen in the event of a contested convention. I'd expect them to possibly send Cruz forward instead of Trump but the GOP hates both of them so I'm unsure.

They understand they have to pick Trump or Cruz. Based on current polling, Trump will get very close to the required delegates, with about 80 delegates short, then there will be 150 unbound delegates that will have to decide. With Trump being that close, I can't imagine them picking even Cruz instead. They'll hurt their party that much more.

Woot  

am i the only dude who doesnt follow politics  

I just took the "I side with" quiz. I took it a while ago and I believe I agreed most with Carly Fiorina at the time. These are my new results:

As of now I am undecided. I think any candidates from the right are absolute idiots, and are incapable of catering to anyone that doesn't meet their ridiculous bigoted views.

I also disagree with essentially everything both Democratic candidates believe in (excluding Sander's healthcare plans.)

I think I'm just gonna vote for Sanders regardless because he seems like the best person for the country, even if I disagree with him.


Took the test, guess I'm the only one leaning Authoritarian :0

Have you seen my discussions about Trump? I like him. I agree with a lot he says. The media feeds everyone these simple-minded statements about him (granted, he makes it easy for the media) but they never get into the seriousness of Trump or what he truly believes. People just hear he wants to build a wall and then social media says he hates Mexicans. There's a lot of legitamate ideas Trump has, people just need to look past the media's portrayal and research Trump's actual stances.

I just read the results for my "Tough v. Tender" section, and I don't know how it concluded that. The whole survey bugged me because, even though it's one of the best out there, it still doesn't provide enough options to many of the questions. There were a few on drug use, and I believe it should be illegal, but I hardlt think there should be punishments for using drugs. That wasn't an option, though. It is the best I've seen for providing the most options, though. It just demonstrates how complex each question is and how there's an infinite number of possibilities

That site bases who you side with only on political stances. You can side 100% with Donald Trump and still think he'd be a **** president; you'd just happen to share his ideological views.

There are so many other factors going into what makes a good president. Sure he may believe some things that aren't ridiculous, but that doesn't make him a good choice. You realize the next president is very likely going to be appointing 3-4 Supreme Court Justices? That's something that will have a direct impact on the next few decades; I'd like to have someone much more competent and less bigoted than Trump choosing those people.

Trump at least talks about picking educating people for his team/running mate. We'd have to see if he actually does, but the people he has suggested as possibilities are highly intelligent, well-liked people. He has said he wants to pick politicians for many of his positions because they do know how the system works, and can help him a lot in that area. I think as a businessman, he may be very smart with decisions for who to appoint for various positions. I really wish Trump would get more serious and tone things down now, but sadly I don't think that's who he is. Nevertheless, I still think he can make intelligent decisions for who to appoint. Plus, congress does have to approve the Supreme Court Justice, so if it is too far out there, his nomination would be denied.  

damn how do u choose so many wrong answers that you end up leaning right???  

Here's me lol
