The pre-printed ballot with a bunch of people who had already dropped out was another good one.I loved the numerous pictures of poll workers in Trump gear. What a fucked up process.

That's interesting. To an extent, I understand it, because you're not going to reprint thousands of ballots if someone dropped out 2 days before, but some of these guys had been out for weeks. You'd think they could at least get some lines drawn through the names.I'm not too familiar with how Nevada works, but that, in and of itself, would not be too unusual. Bill Richardson was on my ballot in Florida before he dropped out of the presidential race in...2008, IIRC. I remember this particular example well because I'd already sent in my absentee ballot voting for him.

Top GOP Pollster: Young Americans Are Terrifyingly Liberal
According to new polling by right-wing political consultant Frank Luntz, Americans 18 to 26 are extremely liberal — so liberal that “the hostility of young Americans to the underpinnings of the American economy and the American government” should “frighten every business and political leader” and “excite activists for Sanders and, to a lesser degree, Clinton activists.”
Luntz’s poll found that young Americans are optimistic about both the country’s future and their own: 61% say the best days of the United States are still ahead of us rather than behind us, and 88% are somewhat, very or extremely optimistic about their economic prospects. But they have concerns, too. Their biggest, in order, are “corruption,” “greed” and “inequality.”
President Obama is not their favorite political figure — Bernie Sanders is. Indeed, 31 percent said Bernie Sanders is the major political figure they “like and respect the most” — more than Obama (18 percent) and Hillary Clinton (11 percent). Many fewer young people like and respect Republican politicians, with just 9 percent choosing Donald Trump, 5 percent George W. Bush and 5 percent Ted Cruz. Bill Clinton has been nearly forgotten, with only 3 percent choosing him. Elizabeth Warren also has low visibility, chosen by just 2 percent. All in all, 66 percent of young Americans chose a Democratic political figure.
Admiration of Sanders is especially strong among the younger half of respondents, with 40 percent of 18- to 21-year-olds saying he’s the political figure they most like and respect.

In addition, more 18- to 21-year-olds chose Sanders as the person they’d most like to have dinner with than anyone else, ahead of Obama, Jennifer Lawrence, Ellen DeGeneres, Bill Gates, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé.
They aren’t nationalistic: 58 percent of respondents said they agreed more with the statement “America isn’t better or worse than most other countries” than with “America is exceptional. It’s better than every other country in the world.” In fact, 35 percent of 18 to 26-year-olds, including 42 percent of 18 to 21-year-olds, said they considered themselves more a citizen of the world than of the U.S.
In response to the question, “Which type of political system do you think is the most compassionate?”, 58 percent said socialism and 9 percent said communism. Just 33 percent chose capitalism. 66 percent of the poll’s respondents said corporate America “embodies everything that is wrong about America.”

Finally, more young Americans declared that the “most pressing issue facing America today” is income inequality than anything else. Income inequality was followed by education — specifically its cost. Respondents said they most respect nurses and doctors, followed by teachers and soldiers. The least-respected professions are bankers (2 percent), real estate agents (2 percent), elected officials (4 percent) and business leaders (6 percent). Wisely, just 7 percent of young Americans respect journalists.
The poll, conducted February 11 to 14, surveyed 1,000 18 to 26-year-olds. In the introduction to his polling memo, Luntz dubs young Americans “the Snapchat Generation,” which indicates that he is very, very old.
They played a clip from Trump's victory speech on BBC Radio 2.
He gave the percentages and was very proud that more than 40% of the Hispanics voted for him.
And I was thinking: How many Latino s would vote Republican and especially for Trump?
With Mexicans for sure.Remember this is the Republican caucus. There are like 10 Latinos total in it. The general election would be a bloodbath on that front.

You think that's because they're so deep in debt with student loans that they've had no choice?The cuckoo ones get bad press, but there is a strong undercurrent of fiscal responsibility that runs through a lot them and most consider themselves non-affiliated politically.
With Mexicans for sure.

More Hispanics elected to statewide office or Congress are Republicans than Democrats.
Liberals keep trying to treat Hispanics like black people - some culturally monolithic group that all thinks alike and should all vote Democrat if they know what's good for them. The truth is they are easily as diverse as "whites".
On a presidentiall level it isn't even close.
10 years ago you'd be spot on, but it's been crushed in the meantime.Deleted my post because I was wrong. Congress is 24-20, HD v. HR. Governors are 2-0 HR v HD. And you're right about voting habits. Thanks, Mexico.

I was laughing so hard at that I almost had a heart attack.
One of the deadspin comments suggested an "I'm too Drumkf to fuck" version of the hat.This literally might be the funniest thing I've ever seen. Can say for sure yet, but it's definitely top 5.
Hahahahahahaha
While Trump is a whack job, Cruz is the biggest fucking lying, manipulative sack of shit in the race based on what he just said on CNN
It is sad and sickening to see Cruz, and Rubio for that matter, celebrating their underperformance as victories

Rubio might quit and endorse Cruz in hope to have a job should Cruz become president.
Either way, this hole primary election process becomes more and more of a joke, and not a good one.
