Quote:Bill O'Reilly says he will leave the country if Sanders is elected.... VOTE FOR SANDERS
Celebrities always threaten to leave if things don't go their way. It back fires a lot though. Of course Samuel L. Jackson also said he'd leave if the Trump is elected.
I will vote for Sanders if its X Republican Shill vs Sanders
At this point, the only way to stop Trump would be for the remaining candidates to strategically withdraw from certain states to stop splitting the vote.
For example, Cruz to withdraw from Florida, and Rubio and Cruz to withdraw from Ohio.
Because none of those other guys can win it outright at this point, and their only hope is a contested convention with no one having a majority of the delegates.
Right now, it looks like no matter what happens, the Republican Party is about to break apart, unless a whole lot of them become whores and follow Trump into the abyss. I wouldn't put it beyond them. The Republican Establishment is going to have to eat a [BLEEP] sandwich to keep the party together.
They said the same thing about reagan. It will be ok.

They have been wrong in the past, so they may be wrong in the future. That is obvious.
But Ronald Reagan was a completely different animal from Donald Trump. Reagan had political experience as governor, he had run for President before, and his entire outlook was completely different from Trump. Reagan was an optimist who believed our best days are ahead of us. Trump sells the idea that we are under attack from every direction and we better all crawl into a hole if we want to survive. Reagan had a sense of humor. He could make people laugh. Trump has a thin skin and a nasty disposition. Reagan had political principles and stuck to them. Trump changes positions on a daily basis, calling it "flexibility." If you watch Reagan's speeches, they had actual content. Trump? He doesn't give speeches. He just leads pep rallies where he makes fun of the other candidates.
I know you weren't comparing Reagan and Trump. Because they are about as far apart as you can get.
You may not like it but he dedinately has a sense of humor.
Reagan was a fairly liberal democrat that evolved into a somewhat conservative republican.
Reagan was thought of as a former actor and unserious nominee for peesident.
As for a lack of optimism? Lol.

Reagan was the popular governor of the nation's most populous state, going up against an unpopular incumbent.
I lived through it. Believe me, he was taken seriously.
And Donald Trump is the least Reaganesque of the candidates in the Republican race.
Tell that to all the carter advisers admitting they viewed him as a clown. He was mocked as a cowboy ubfit to have his hand on the button. He was so anti establishment he had just 4 years prior run a primary campaign against a sitting republican president.

How old were you during the late 70s? After his California governorship, Reagan was very much taken seriously.
A sitting Republican president who got to the Oval Office as a VP appointee by a scandalized president.
Comparing Trump's campaign to Reagan's is ridiculous. I was no fan of Ronnie Raygun, but he was head and shoulders more qualified to run this country than your favorite buffoon.
Quote:Democrats are de-registering at record rates to vote for Trump as Republican. Certainly not the best thing to ever happen for the left. I would definitely say it is a combination of the Democrat and Republican establishments trying to take down a centrist, though.
Quote:That's news to my Democrat friends.
A link will help your case.

Like most of Trump's specious claims, his outrageous comment about "millions and millions" of Democrats dropping their party to vote for him is debunked:
donald-trump-has-not-brought-millions-and-millions-of-people-to-the-republican-party
At some point, even the most "strategic" exaggeration crosses the line to outright lie. And Donald has tons of them.
Record turnout in primaries people are changing their affiliation to participate in.
Thats hardly specious.

Your link does nothing to refute JW. He said people are "de-registering" as Dems, not that they are becoming Pubs. In many states Independents can vote in either party's primary, so changing from Dem to Ind could be in order to vote for Trump. Or not, but your link doesn't prove anything.
It does refute Trump's statement "millions and millions" but that's just typical hyperbole from a candidate, and a strawman argument here, since that's not what JW said. Every candidate exaggerates while campaigning, and Trump, being a wheeler-dealer, always takes the extreme position in his initial offer. So basically MSN just made a long detailed argument to refute a triviality.

1: The link absolutely refutes JW's own link, and actually specifically names the Boston Herald article he provided as misleading.
2: There is no difference between consistent extreme hyperbole and lying. And there's nothing trivial about Trump's lying, whether it's about himself or others. The only strawman argument is your own excusing Trump's behavior, because, y'know, he's a wheeler-dealer. I don't hate your average used-car salesman, but I don't think any of them I've ever met are worthy of being president.
3. On point, 16.000 Democrats deciding to change to Independent out of 1,200,000 is a drop in the bucket, (less than 1.5%) and not out of the norm. That's not a "record rate", unless you're Donald Trump.

So are you a Trump vote now too? Anyone but a democrat, huh? You guys are such good little soldiers.

You trump votes will love that^
My gosh these people are stupid... It amazes me, the more ardent the hatred of DT the more someone has to distort their positions to justify their emotions.
He's not a protectionist, he said that we shouldn't have a tax climate that forces businesses out or continue to allow our trade partners to cheat us through currency devaluation.
And this is the country whose idea of social cohesion is allowing their female citizens to be raped and sexually assaulted to prove their tolerance of other cultural ideals.
Does trump still love Single payer healthcare? He's right it works well in other countries...

I'm not a Trump supporter. I wouldn't support a Dem for president.
I was just pointing out out flawed logic.
I think Sanders is a better choice than Hilary Clinton, but I don't think that the Democrats will ever pick Bernie to represent them. If Hilary was arrested tomorrow they would probably put Biden up there.
If Bernie was allowed to run as the Democrat he might win against most candidates running, but I think Trump or Cruz could beat him as well as Hilary.
If its an establishment Republican such as Rubio then I think Clinton or Bernie will win.

1. No surprise that a leftist article would claim another that boosts Trump is misleading. That proves nothing.
2. There's a big difference. Also, every person running has lied at some point. Some like Hillary spout more lies than truths. Pointing out that Trump exaggerated his support is akin to writing a two page diatribe proving that water is wet.
3. Projecting the New Hampshire results nationwide, 1.5% of (say) 150 million eligible voters is 2.25 million.
