I'm excited by the prospect of brokered conventions on both the democratic and republican side. We need a repeat of the 68 chicago convention with billy clubs and pepper spray.
I am actively rooting for the most ridiculous *** possible at this point. The sky is the limit!
Like, if we could get Trump+Cruz to re-enact Hamilton/Burr, the PPVs would probably erase the national debt. Trump's a lunatic and Cruz is Texan, so this isn't nearly as far off the table as it should be, either.
I was trying to come up with an appropriate bit of ridiculous for the other side, in the interest of equal time, but those two are so boring. The best we could hope for is that Sanders picks a lesbian Filipino dwarf as a running mate or something. Can we get Bernie and Hillary to compete in an "Over the Top" style arm wrestling competition?

I wonder if the Pope realized that he handed the SC primary over to Trump.

Trump was well ahead in SC before the Pope's speech.

I think all of the candidates should be put through an obstacle course, American Ninja Warrior style.

He was ahead in Iowa too.

The number of returns is down and has been down since Bush because the number of people returning from Mexico is down, fewer people are coming back here, the article I posted clearly says that.
You're using a different definition for "return" than I was. What classifies as a return is someone who was sent back across the border without formal processing. DHS started making more of these returns formal, with all the necessary paperwork and permanent records, which classifies them as "removals". This is why Obama's numbers for deportation are up even though less people are actually being sent back.
"Less people are being sent back" as compared to what?

He was ahead in Iowa too.
And then he skipped a debate and lost. How is that relevant again?

Most Extreme elimination challenge (remember that show?) is more my style.
My favorite segment was when the contestant would run down a hill and crash through the doors in walls. There would be like 4 doors in a wall and only two of them wouldn't be boarded up.

Holy crap yes. That would be even more entertaining and better suited to the candidates' physical condition.

So you try to make a connection to the Pope, fail, talk about Iowa, which has nothing to do with the Pope, yet I'm the robot? Sure kid.

So again, how is Trump supposed to make America great? I've yet to see him say anything coherent.
Find a forum that actually has Trump supporters and ask them.

So you guys are going back to the 1800's?
Trump isn't nearly Steampunk enough for that.

That's what you think.

In Obama's defense .... I'll just say Americans don't know what they want, but it's pretty clear now they certainly don't want change.
Some do, some don't, nobody wants to pay for it.

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
