anyone still following politics?
I really have not. I don't even follow the primary schedule anymore. I did notice that Trump swept all the states last night. He is close to being the nominee and I really don't think it will go to a contested convention. Hilary will obviously be the Dem nominee. Do you think Bernie would run VP with her? I still can't believe Trump is still going strong. Its still so crazy to me. I know there has been talk of him toning it down once he becomes the nominee but I really don't see that - I actually see it getting crazier. He already said the only thing Hilary has going for her is the woman card. I honestly see HIlary winning this election like I always have been saying the last 4 years. I was trying to convince DH of that last night. I told him I'm sticking to what I've always felt will happen.
Re: anyone still following politics?
That's interesting. I had never thought about kasich that way but I can see it.
No, I haven't been following except to read the headlines only that pop up in Fox News and MSN when I sign into my Hotmail account. I did see Cruz picked Fiorina. It's too late. If he were going to have a shot, he should have done that like over a month ago...
I have decided that I am voting in the general election. But, I WILL NOT under any circumstances vote for Hillary or Trump. So I am going to write in my father-in-law's name. Seriously. I think he would be an awesome president.
Plus, down the road I don't ever want to have to tell and then explain why I choose to vote for one of two losers like Hillary or Trump. I'm going to vote with an absolutely clear conscience but still exercise my right to go to the polls.
I voted on Tuesday. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I've ever voted in a primary. I felt motivated this year by the presidential race and some local races I felt strongly about.
Looks like it will be Trump and Clinton. I'll be curious to see who they pick for running mates. I'm thinking Trump may pick Christie.
I still follow, but it's so disgusting/uninteresting I haven't posted in a while. I'm in California, and there are just barely campaign rumblings starting here. I heard that Trump is supposed to be in my area next week, possibly Wednesday. It's impossible for Trump to get the 1237 delegates before California, but he'll probably clinch the nomination here.
I think Trump would be an idiot to pick Christie. It's already going to be a close race with Hilary, but most polls that I have seen do show him losing. I think he needs to be careful about choosing a running mate. It would not surprise me if Hillary picked Bernie, though. A whole lot of people in her party seem to worship the ground he walks on. I think she could easily clinch the Presidency if he's on the ticket.
Would it be weird for Hillary to choose Bernie as her running mate? I'm not saying it hasn't happened, but I don't recall ever seeing a candidate (for either party) choosing a VP who had run against them in the primaries.
Obviously that is going on with Cruz, but then it's been an unusual Republican primary with so many people initially running.
I feel like there is a large group of Republicans who will not vote for Trump no matter what and would rather have Hilary. Then there is a large group of Democrats who will not vote for Hilary no matter what and would rather have Trump. In the end, I think it will come down to which of those two groups is larger.
Just heard it on fox. Trump is the nom. Hate to say it but I predicted it all along.
I have always thought in a Hillary vs. Trump election, that Hillary will be a hands down winner. There is a lot of dislike for her, don't get me wrong, but there is a lot of dislike for Trump also.
I think Trump supporters will vote for Trump and, for the most part, everyone else will vote for Clinton...regardless of the party affiliation they have.
I'd say I'll be curious to see how it turns out but, really, I just want to hide my head under the covers until it's gone, lol.
My one saving grace is, in Louisiana, we're so uber Republican that...once it is down to the final two...neither candidate bothers doing much campaigning down here. If anything, the political ads should decrease...not increase. At least that is my hope!
