Will they actually give Trump the nomination though?!

Re: US Election 2016
 

Would be funny if he is forced to run as independent hmm...

Re: US Election 2016
 

No question he is in. Pretty much no possible alternative.

A democracy not allowing this would be in deep doo doo...


Oh wait, it is.

Re: US Election 2016
 

They don't have a choice.

He only needs a mere 287 delegates.

There are 622 left.

He only needs about 47% of the vote to get that, and he's been vastly over-performing this threshold. Aside from that, these counts don't include "unbound" delegates, many of whom have publicly stated they intend to support the front-runner and/or the winner of their congressional district (both Trump).

The race is over. Kasich and Cruz formed a suicide pact with their stupid collusion agreement. It will go down in history as one of the most stupid mistakes in political history. I don't know what they were thinking....the only people who would be supportive of that were already going to vote for them anyways. Publicly stating that only proves the conspiracy theories that elections are rigged. I swear I think they must have had some drugs or something due to stress, because anyone with half a brain could have told them admitting collusion on television is not a good idea. :doh:

On the upside, you can make good money regardless of your political beliefs on PredictIt dot org.

Not plugging the site, don't own it. I do own a lot of Trump shares though, full disclosure. I won big last night on my prediction he would win over 50% in all 5 states. Bought it at 20 cents a share....let's just say that the celebratory cigars were on me last night. :cheer: :lol:

Not Cubans I hope!

Plus Cruz might lose another 34 delegates he already "won".

Basically says there were many many mistakes in Colorado's Primary, where your vote literally means nothing (delegates decide 100%). They're strongly considering a do-over for the entire thing.

This entire election is an embarrassment to be honest. Regardless of how you feel about Trump, the fact is he has blown the lid off all the lies of elections and "democracy". It's all a big joke. It's kind of sad he had to run the outlandish campaign he has just to get these results, but it is what it is.

Regardless of how it ends, at least the American people now know the truth.

Until they forget

That is the problem with politics all around the world. Its all very circular with the same things happening, getting exposed, getting forgotten about, happening again, exposed again ect ect.

I will enjoying watching this US election. Who ever wins (and my money would be on Clinton by a large % at the moment, maybe that will change though?) it will be interesting.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Please do put your money where your mouth is. :)

I'm not being factious, I really would like you to buy Clinton shares so I can purchase more Trump for cheaper. =}

I've got auto-buys set-up already.

Re: US Election 2016
 

I love that we can discuss politics civilly. The membership of this forum really impresses me right now.

Re: US Election 2016
 

That can change so go with the flow.

The issue of Bill may preclude the wife getting the win.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Actually, odds are Trump will arrive at the convention 100-200 MORE than needed as it stands now.

I would bet huge money it is not at all contested and second of all.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Everyone hates Clinton.

I very much like the way this is going. I think we can turn this country around with a whole new Republican Party. Not nearly as conservative as I desire but a much more unified country with Fiscal responsibilities for OUR citizens.

Re: US Election 2016
 

I am really not a fan either tbh.

The problem with both the candidates is that so many people dislike them. It seems like a decent % of people will be voting for Clinton to keep Trump out and vise versa

Personally I quite like bits of both of them, but there is also a lot of both of them I do not like. Thankfully I do not have to decide which one to vote for!

Re: US Election 2016
 

It really comes down to one thing.

Do you want the country to become more socialist with less rights and void out our constitution that limits government and not people(nothing at all like anywhere else in the world) or do you want to take a step back and restore the ideologies of the bloodline of the USA.

Now populous says Jobs, economic, security but it still comes right down to the roots of the USA.

One is arguably anti American and the other is Pro American Values with a modern and moderate stance.

Personally myself, I want a 180 degree turn around but in our modern America, that is not realistic as far as winning a general election.

Re: US Election 2016
 

The other and maybe BIGGEST factor against Killary is the more than half the population no longer trusts Federal and also to a large degree local Government. Clinton is a career politician in every meaning of the definition. She has grown rich off the teet of the american taxpayer.

Right now, as of today, 58% really hate that. The people as a majority want an outsider.

Re: US Election 2016
 

They need to be careful about who/what they wish to have govern the USA.

We live in changing times.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Trump will win pretty big in California which is yet to come and 100+ delegates. Very similar Republican voter to the East Cost primaries Trump won last night.

If Trump wins Indiana I think its over.

Re: US Election 2016
 

Wonder whom Trump will pick as running mate?
