Ted Cruz to drop presidential bid - Polidicks

[QUOTE=N.A.N.B;50254290]'Kay, but that still doesn't go over the point of the comment; that a potential world leader believes wholeheartedly in half-baked and wholly idiotic conspiracy theories. As stated before, Trump has literally said that Barack Obama wasn't born in the US, and parroted and espoused that belief for fuckin' years. Would this really be the kind of man who you'd want to the lead the nation? Who believes in shit like [URL="https://youtu.be/AffuKjGV6BA"]vaccines causing autism[/URL] or birtherism? C'mon.[/QUOTE] You know Hillary started the whole birther movement back when she was running against Obama?

What if Trump wins by a narrow margin of 0.0000000001% lmao

[QUOTE=AlexConnor;50254315]You know Hillary started the whole birther movement back when she was running against Obama?[/QUOTE] :what: Do you have any source for this claim at all? Because, man - I do, and it [URL="http://www.factcheck.org/2015/07/was-hillary-clinton-the-original-birther/"]sure as hell says otherwise.[/URL]

The rule is, a conspiracy theory is crazy if it requires tons and tons of people to have been kept quiet about the secret information. It doesn't require too many people to keep quiet about Obama not having been born here. It requires a ton of people to have been kept quiet if you think the moon landing was faked, or 9/11 was an inside job, a missile hit the pentagon. I just think you shouldn't rest on your laurels that certain ideas are "crazy conspiracy theories". If the secret is only being kept by 10 people, it is somewhat feasible.

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;50254525]That's less than one vote.[/QUOTE] Will it still stand and allow Trump to become President without any intervention?

[QUOTE=Tarver;50254585]Will it still stand and allow Trump to become President without any intervention?[/QUOTE] No, it wouldn't count.

[QUOTE=plunger435;50254588]No, it wouldn't count.[/QUOTE] No I mean if one vote seperates him and his opponent :v:

[QUOTE=Tarver;50254591]No I mean if one vote seperates him and his opponent :v:[/QUOTE] Yeah no, no one would ever trust that it was that accurate. It wouldn't stand. The US doesn't use individual votes to determine he presidency.

[QUOTE=Cinnamonbun;50253001]It's gonna be great, I can't wait to die for my God Emperor Donald J. Trump when the wars start. WITNESS ME.

He is doing what he does on purpose.[/sp][/QUOTE] Trump's not a politician, but also he's putting on a persona to manipulate voters.

Clinton has said the things (some of) the left wants to hear because she's running as a democrat and Trump has said the things (some of) the right wants to hear because he's running as a republican. They both have flip flopped around so much it's impossible to say where their actual conventions lie in many important respects. The only difference between them is Hillary has a political history that can be referenced, and to a lot of people, it isn't pretty. The devil you know vs. the devil you don't.[/QUOTE] Uh, you know the point of that expression is that the devil you know is better, right?

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;50253949]You're giving less of a shit to the point of maybe voting Trump because memes? I mean what the fuck is wrong with you guys? I think Clinton is a piece of shit, but at least she's a piece of shit that may introduce some of Bernie's policies or at least not fuck up a lot of stuff.[/QUOTE] I just said, it's not just because of this goofy election, it's because 4-8 years of complacency and Neo-Liberal Politics. Meanwhile I can barely get a fucking job at a McDonalds for fucks sake. I want some real fucking change for once in this country. You really think Hiliary is going to help me get a job? Get me to college? You think she won't just sit in her office going on about her victory after over 10 years, and that she's the first woman President? I am legit disenfranchised here, and I'm also done with this garbage Neo-Liberal age we're living in. I like Liberal ideas but shit's starting to go to far now. I'm not going to pay thousands to go to College just so some sensitive special snowflakes can tell me not to read To Kill a Mockingbird because mass racism happened. Do I like Trump entirely? No I don't, but I do agree, it's time to take a sledgehammer to the whole damn system. It's time to really revitalize this economy. [editline]4th May 2016[/editline] I just see myself not being able to do anything in Hiliary's 4-8 years. Where I'm pushing my 30s, still having trouble getting a job in this country, just sitting in my room. After realizing that, I knew I didn't want 4-8 years of same old same old.

[QUOTE=Mingebox;50254891]Ah yes, revitalization. One of the lesser known functions of a sledgehammer.[/QUOTE] Look overall I just give up on this piece of shit election. Hiliary in charge means I stay stagnant for four years in a country that's getting to overtly Liberal in my opinion, and Trump is just a crazy wildcard. So fuck it, I'm picking the wildcard because I'm just done with the whole damn thing. Bernie isn't going to win, Hilary is corrupt, and Trump is crazy. At least Trump kinda might give me a better chance at a job.

Clinton wants to make it easier to overcome student debt, and will work towards making community college free - and other forms debt free. Study to become an engineer if you are seriously afraid that safe spaces and trigger warnings will ruin your education. Can you mention some Trump policies that will help you, or are you just assuming that if we start from scratch things will get better? Okay, I kinda remembered you've been posting something pretty different a while back: [QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;49957001]Because I'm tired of reading all this shit about "Shiliary" and shit, when in reality she isn't really all that bad. It's best to be ready for when this ends and if Sanders DOESN'T win. I'm not saying he doesn't have a chance in hell, if news came in that he won the Nomination, then hey fucking awesome he got in. If he didn't, too bad, I voted, my canidate didn't win, and now I'll have to vote for the person I think will less likely fuck America up to the extreme. I would choose not to vote for Hiliary or abstain, but the problem is the opponent is Donald Trump, so now it's vote to avoid Trump, or have 4 years of Trump bringing American back down to humiliation.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;49956579]That's the issue, we're asking for too much of a miracle to happen. And I don't put my money on a wishing star giving Sanders his magical 200 Super Delagates. As much as I love Sanders, I've been ready since before the primaries to vote for Hiliary as my back up choice.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;49121508]That's a very weird statement to make. As long as the next 4-8 years are chill and relaxed, I'll be fine. I mean whether Bernie or Hilary wins, I'll still be probably more interested in going to college, getting a job, and playing Video games like I've always done. I just don't want Trump to get in.[/QUOTE] Could you, y'know, not be a fucking wet noodle changing your opinions all the time?

so basically this entire election boils down to which of the two turds do you wish to vote for, one turd is more polished than the other hahha

[QUOTE=raz r23;50254968]so basically this entire election boils down to which of the two turds do you wish to vote for, one turd is more polished than the other hahha[/QUOTE] One turds never been in the toilet at all and the other one has been stuck to the side for years

this whole election feels so unreal to me like some kind of satire from The Onion. Fml

[QUOTE=smurfy;50254398]Oh[/QUOTE] somehow these two letters express so much meaning and emotion, yet it's like, two lines fuck, language is incredible

By the way, Kasich just dropped out too. Maybe he was still running to split votes from Cruz :v:

Thats still no reason to drop out. It implies that only 2 people are ever destined to stay in the race. Brings up the DNC/RNC having too much power debate again

[QUOTE=BananaMed;50255735]By the way, Kasich just dropped out too. [B]Maybe he was still running to split votes from Cruz[/B] :v:[/QUOTE] Thank God he stuck around for so long. I want Cruz in the White House even less than I want Trump. At least Trump has a sort-of-left past and isn't super religiously dull and painfully conservative about absolutely everything. People have been on the Trump hate-train for so much of the election that they never really addressed how fucked up Ted is in comparison.

[QUOTE=BananaMed;50255783]Kasich had literally no reason to run. Except for the free food. Last time I checked he had to get 235% of the remaining delegates. So, there's that.[/QUOTE] He was trying to split the vote and force a contested election. Had Rubio and Cruz stayed in, it probably would've happened, but the RNC realized they'd be out of a job if they ever let that happen [editline]4th May 2016[/editline] I wonder if any republicans will come out in support of Clinton/a third party candidate instead of Trump.

The public sucks. Fuck hope.

[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;50255909] [editline]4th May 2016[/editline] No offense, but I think the Kasich campaign probably knows more about running for president than you do[/QUOTE] As witnessed by the fact he dropped out, leaving only one contender that has a chance of winning. If he along with the other 2 stayed in they would have more than likely split the vote.

wait... so who's still left on the republican side?
