The US Presidential Election 2016

[comrade_general]

He's kinda nutty like the rest that's left. Doesn't have any chance of winning though.

[Jubal]

Cruz is gone. Sanders won Indiana but didn't really make up any lost ground. Basically the nomination process is over.

[Pentagathus]

Has Billary already won the other nomination?

[Jubal]

No, but yes. Sanders needs 2/3 of the remaining delegates to catch up, which is not going to happen. He'll probably win most of the remaining states since they're mostly in his sort of regions, but he'd need to win all of them by like 20-30 point margins, including California.

[Pentagathus]

So cowman, do you welcome your new female overlord?

[comrade_general]

portugal no.

[comrade_general]

I'd much rather see Bernie in than Killary. He won't be able to do 1% of what he says he will do and will probably die of old age during his first term anyway.

[Clockwork]

Borrow a Canadian president, they must have loads spare given they're run by a 'prime minister' or some sort of autobot nonsense.

Updates:
- Kasich is out
- Bush Snr and Bush Jnr are not planning to endorse Trump

Polling has Trump running six and a half points behind Clinton. That's worse than Romney was doing VS Obama in early 2012, but not much worse, and I'd expect Trump's numbers to tick upwards as parts of the GOP establishment endorse him and get on board. If asked to guess I'd say the final map will look pretty similar to 2012, maybe with Trump winning Ohio and Clinton winning Arizona.

Anyone but Killary 2016

[Jubal]

I dunno, it looks OK to me.

Today's news, from the Lib convention:

Libertarian nominee is Gary Johnson

Gary Johnson beats John McAfee (placed third) and Austin Petersen (second) in two ballots to win the nomination, falling only just short on the first ballot and getting 55% of delegates on the second. He also won three of the party's four primaries (with the exception of Missouri, where he wasn't on the ballot and which is Petersen's home state). His running mate will be another old blue-state Republican, former Massachussetts governor William Weld, a new Libertarian member who struggled through to gain the VP spot (elected separately) on Johnson's recommendation.

[comrade_general]

A lot of good all that'll do.

[Clockwork]

trumps already won. ggwp guys.

i always assumed trump would win since you can rely on america to always select the worst leaders
