Primaries & Caucuses Thread

It's exactly why racial tensions are high right now. Right wing racists are mad as a black is leading the free world instead of picking cotton.

Don't be ridiculous. Barry saying that Treyvon could be his son is the reason racial tensions are so high right now.

[tlongII]

We agree on a lot of things. Obviously not in this.

I just dont see your side. At worst, we get 4 more years of what we got now which would be stable when you compare to whatever Trump would do. We are likely to sink lower than we are to rise with him. That's a fact.

We all know Hillary at least won't sink us futher.

No, that's not a fact. Where do you people come up with this ?

[Splits]

No, that's not a fact. Where do you people come up with this ?

The same place where you think Kansas is doing just swimmingly.

What are your thoughts on Jindal's massive tax cuts to the rich in Louisiana?

[Aztecfan03]

Your guy Rubio has proven to be a liar by promising his voters that he wouldn't support amnesty yet wants illegals to have a chance to get a citizenship.

Trump is a liar about a whole lot more than that and including this very thing.

[Aztecfan03]

I really did some soul searching before I chose Trump as my Bernie backup. I think hes a nutcase but so is Hillary. Whether the feminists like or not as well, shes a woman. No one knows how that will play out on the world stage. For all her feminazi pride comments, shes never been forced to addr3ss the issue that most of the world does not show women respect like America does. And technically, were not even that great at it.

Other countries hae had women chancellor's, prime ministers, presidents who have done fine. I don't think that aspect will be a problem.

[Aztecfan03]

Because lots of the right went nuts with a nigger in the white house. You can't be any more transparent than the birther crap was.

No it's because Obama has chosen to publicly support black people who died at the hands of cops even when it was the black person's fault.

Oh and any criticism of Obama is met with "RACIST!!!!"

All that birther crap started way before Trayvon. What else but racism was that? Clue me in.

Yeah. And is started with Hillary Clinton's campaign. Still wasn't racism, but dislike of the guy.

LOL that kenyan socialist conspiracy theory the right wing media spouted wasn't racism.

[spurraider21]

its not about trayvon ... its that any time there's an issue he addresses he makes sure to draw dividing lines

[Spurminator]

Obama hasn't been a divider on race.

White conservatives have chosen to take their cues from talking heads and get COMPLETELY butthurt over benign (and reasonable) statements like "he could have been my son" and the beer summit, etc, so the "divisiveness" is on them.

Its like they've been desperate to interpret every statement on race as an attack on white people. Considering how much these people hate the Sharptons and Jacksons of the world, it's pretty ironic.

[Winehole23]

any position taken by politicians on matters of public controversy cause division, as do any policies taken.

singling out Obama for causing division by doing what all politicians do (and inevitably must do) -- speak out and make policy -- is puffery.

[Winehole23]

white supremacy has a guilty conscience ... for which it blames the victims.

Why doesn't he hold those press conferences for anyone but black kids?

So you're discriminating against a woman because you think other people might be prejudiced against a woman.

Nice.

When a bunch of white kids were killed in school, he held a press conference.

DIVISIVE!

Yeah, he did that for all or most shooting sprees. Never had press conference for a single cop or white kid that was murdered though.

[Aztecfan03]

Oh and meeting with deray, one of the worst instigators, at least acouple times.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, he did that for all or most shooting sprees. Never had press conference for a single cop or white kid that was murdered though.

Well, the whites don't riot when that happens if you want to be paternal about it -- and I think you might.

Also the proportion of blacks getting killed by cops sure seems out of whack, which could lead to the above mentioned unrest.

Of course, whites really have it rough these days. I can't believe we have survived this long in Obama's America.

Which high-profile single-white-kid murder should have been addressed and what should the President have said about it?

Like when he sends two representatives to Michael Brown's funeral (in his support) before he knows the FACTS of the case. LOL - at Lebron and the Cavs running out of the tunnel with hands up. Hands up, don't shoot - LOL.

[Mitch]

Hey Mitch Trump is only 85 delegates up on Cruz. Brokered convention is happening my .

Brokered convention is guaranteed if polls continue to be wrong by 20%+ tbh

This site points to Trump being on track, but his expected delegate jump is coming up - he needs to basically sweep. The only question mark should be Ohio, but can't trust polling anymore

[Winehole23]

Michael Brown wasn't an apt poster boy, but social resentment over predatory policing didn't start with his death.

The Ferguson PD deserves the flames for financializing its law and order mission and targeting poor black citizens for decades.

When the police visit injustice on the public with impunity and regularity, the public may tend to judge them unfairly for actions that are reasonable and justifiable.

[Winehole23]

beef was legit, the instance probably wasn't.

[KobeOwnsDuncan]

How you can be a divider on race relations when you have a congress who openly says they will not work with you basically because of your color. Some true dumbasses in this thread.

Whoa. When did that happen?
