Already Trump is talking about the polls showing him beating Clinton,so we could be in for a repeat this year.

half the country still go to church on a regular basis and probably just as much don't believe in abortion or gay marriage. The liberal media's narrative that the GOP is increasingly a fringe party that don't represent anyone beyond nutters, therefore, is as much inaccurate as it is offensive
I have in laws in various parts of the States, most of them liberals who are for abortion etc

Despite the 'probably' qualifier and the 'in-laws-in-various-parts-of-the-States' buttress - the 'half the country' statistic with regard to a majority not supporting both a woman's right to choose as well as same sex marriage is wrong.

Here are some same-sex marriage polls. Not only is themadpooper wrong, but it's pretty clear which direction that issue is moving in:

....and by the way, with regard to 'MP's' drivel - liberals are not 'for abortion' - only sadists might be.
They are for a woman's right to choose.
There is a difference

Sanders wins the Wyoming caucus. Looks like the delegates split 7 to 7. Five Thirty Eight's target for Clinton was 5, so in their eyes this was another Sanders victory that takes Clinton closer to the nomination.

The reality is that Bernie Sanders is losing the popular vote in states that don't use the caucus system; on the whole, he is well behind Clinton. So unless you think that there is a good reason for the guy who is coming in last to win the nomination, there's nothing to be upset about.

I think most people realise how the system works, why do you think so many people are pissed?

You've never mentioned any particular reasons in any of your posts, even though you comment about her several times per day. If you don't know why you're such a whinger, then why should anyone else?

I find it amusing that you are willing to devote so much time and effort to complaining about Hillary Clinton, yet you've never once explained your reasoning. Which suggests to me that you don't have a reason.

March 29th was the last time I mentioned Hillary. I suppose I could keep repeating myself but why?




I enjoyed the hell out of (re)watching the videos of Rove's complete meltdown --- and it even lasted for days after the election was over. Yet another psychology term comes to mind, cognitive dissonance.
