NYC, Financial District. Can you believe it!?!?
Really? Thats shocking, I dont know anyone who is voting for Trump and I am in NYC. Doesnt matter who you vote for in NY though its firmly blue.
read somewhere that this is the historical presidential election:
If Hillary wins, first women president of USA
If Cruz wins, first canadian/latin president of USA
If Sanders wins, first jewish president of USA
If trump wins, last president of USA 
Thats the other thing. I’m 30 now. In my late teens through twenties everyone I knew was either a democrat or an independent. Now it seems that everyone I come across my age or younger is republican now?? Like what happen. I know NY is a Blue state, but where did all these GOP’ers come from. The GOP party seems crazier than ever for this election cycle but I know more repubs now than in my entire life. Like I just don’t get it anymore.
“If you’re not a liberal when you’re young, you have no heart. If you’re a liberal when you’re old, you have no brain.”
Haha. Mostly anyone you run into in the business world is going to be on the side of GOP policies and rhetoric. Their platforms are mostly pro business… their implementation of their platforms, not so much.
It’s looking less and less likely that Trump will be the candidate.
Was reading about that, everyone is talking about who can win a brokered convention. At very least this has certainly been an interesting year. Paul Ryans name has been floated around as he hasnt been slamming anyone and taken sides. I would be open to PR over the other 2 by a mile.
It’ll still be Trump unless something very strange happens. A contested convention still favors Trump. His delegates are…well, crazy.
I think it’s getting more and mroe likely someone other than the current group of candidates gets the nomination (Ryan, Romney, etc). Cruz is loathed by DC, he may actually have the hardest time winning the nomination despite some recent momentum. Looking like Trump will not get to 1,237, and he is so polarizing that I don’t feel he will be able to convince other delegates to come over to his side. And Kasich’s inability to win anywhere other than Ohio is not good, potentially a good VP though to help secure that important state (plus his resume is pretty solid).
trump looked like a whipped puppy on TV sunday. the swagger be gone, playing defense now, looked completely energy drained. he needs to get back on offense.
Too late for Ron Paul?
Never!
I can’t see how this can go well for the Republican party. They don’t want Trump to win. However, if they broker the nomination to a different candidate, they throw away the mandate from their voters, who will get even more angry, not show up to vote, and maybe even not vote for Republican congress members. There’s no one to blame but themselves.
^i love it. the winner here down the road will be the rational voter. zealotry will be pushed to the fringes. same thing is happening on the D side. the close center will make friends with the other side and form the rational majority. book it.
Perhaps, but Republicans always turn out in much higher percentages. Registered Republicans are far out-numbered by registered Dems, so in theory, if both parties turned out in equal percentages, R’s would never win national elections. But since the Dems don’t typically turn out, the R’s will still have a fighter’s chance. And I believe that Hillary is also a very unlikable candidate, which could cause low voter turnout for the Dems; unless Trump is on the other side, and since he is even more unlikable, a vote for Hillary in this instance is more akin to a non-Trump vote.
The same could happen on the Dem side though. It’s certainly possible at this stage that Bernie gets the most votes from the people and Hillary wins via the Superdelegate party elite. Could be a real mess.
Trumps is still on path to secure enough delegates. And Hillary is the one in a dog fight. The super delegates will switch if she loses the primaries. Notice how close they are without the super delegates. That’s the big story, but it doesn’t lead. Wonder why?
It doesn’t lead because Hillary is a lot stronger as of now, than Bernie in many of the larger states that are coming up.
