oh good lord. there's a chance he's actually -actually- legitimately running and i was completely wrong and we might really -really- end up electing that man. sigh. i think this is what it looks like when a democracy no longer functions properly. it looks like president trump. the whole process we go through to pick these nuts is getting worse every cycle. it's nothing but sound bites, attack ads, and so many billions of dollars it's obscene. there's no discussion anymore, just talking heads. no cooperation and compromise, only ideological differences and bickering. the only people who win are the billionaires running foundations that fund entire campaigns and end up deciding who best serves their interests and that's who we end up choosing between - one billionaire puppet or another. but now they're just cutting the puppet out entirely and are going to claim the office of the presidency as another seat for the billionaires boy's club.

Obama proved that the white racists were not large enough to overturn his election.
Trump believes the red necks-uneducated, are enough in number to put him over the top on Tuesday, November 8, 2016.

lol the Trump train left that station a loooong time ago
> and i was completely wrong and we might really -really- end up electing that man. sigh. i think this is what it looks like when a democracy no longer functions properly

Texas has an open primary you know. You could have voted in the Republican primary and voted for Rubio. Not because you like Rubio but just as an anti-Trump vote.
> it's nothing but sound bites, attack ads, and so many billions of dollars it's obscene.
That's what I find funny. Trump has bought basically no advertising and spent less than 1/10th his rivals. This is as close to a grassroots movement as you can get.
> the only people who win are the billionaires running foundations that fund entire campaigns and end up deciding who best serves their interests and that's who we end up choosing between - one billionaire puppet or another.
Trump and Sanders are the only ones not beholden to billionaire donors. One is too principled, the other is too rich. Trump doesn't give a damn about million dollar lobbyist contributions — Sheldon Adelson and Haim Saban give out 5, 10, 20 million dollars but that's the kind of money Trump loses in couch cushions, chump change for Trump or "Trump change".
> but now they're just cutting the puppet out entirely and are going to claim the office of the presidency as another seat for the billionaires boy's club.
The billionaire boys seem awful scared though. If it was one of their own you'd think there'd be congratulatory back slapping and smiles all round but they're frantically throwing suitcases full of $100 bills at Rubio, who is not a billionaire.
