 Re: Who Will Be President?
When Bernie is president, and a film does poorly, he will take money from Star Wars/Marvel films and give it to the other movie. That will encourage Star Wars and Marvel films to be even more successful while helping those films in need. It will help with income inequality too.
When so something succeeds, and you don't succeed as much, it hurts us all.

 Re: Who Will Be President?
I don't think it'll happen because Hillary should win Dem nomination, but can you imagine
The establishment candidates sort themselves out, Rubio never recovers from his debate and plastic sheen and drops out surprisingly early, Kasich doesn't get enough conservative support or money. Bush emerges and in the end there's enough establishment support around one guy to beat Cruz and Trump
Sanders momentum keeps growing and beats Clinton
In the general Sanders socialism is rejected by moderates
President Jeb Bush

 Re: Who Will Be President?
I think Bernie has an African-American problem. 90% of the black vote is 35+. Young black voters don't vote, admittedly some can't because they have a criminal record. And that demographic is pretty much for Hillary. She will dominant in the south, probably do well in the midwest, since they are mostly moderate and not very liberal. Even if it is still close, the Superdelegates will get her to the nomination. Now for the Republicans, I have no clue. I am pulling for a contested convention, since it hasn't happened since 1968.

 Re: Who Will Be President?
Hillary's "single issue" argument is very strong IMO.

I wish Carson and Jeb! (Trump too, but he is "winning") would get the fuck out in light of Scalia dying.

OMG, this GOP debate is insane. They need to air them on subscription television networks, they'd make loads.

Donald saying Bush lied about WMDs could hurt him pretty badly, with George W. in South Carolina with Jeb, this won't go away overnight

That depends on how many Trump people want another Bush in the WH.

I.e., people that don't follow politics. Trump's ignorance and his lie about opposing Iraq (big to have been against it in mid-2004, where is the evidence he opposed it in 2002? ) show everyone what a dolt he is.

 Re: Who Will Be President?
Of course Hillary will slay him. Trump is, however, teaching the GOP establishment some valuable lessons if they wish to remain relevant in the future.

 Re: Who Will Be President?
Trump is only doing well because the establishment figures are cannibalizing each other. If it was just Bush or Rubio left, they would be winning SC on Saturday. Trump only gets 30-35% of the vote. A 1/3 of the party refuses to vote for him.

I have always voted for Republicans, though I world not consider myself to be one, and I am not sure I could vote for Trump over Hillary (I would instead vote Losertarian (really a vote for her)). At least Bernie is honest.

It's quite sobering that we won't have a President anywhere near how great Obama has been.

 Re: Who Will Be President?
Donald Trump's attack on Bush, Iraq, and 9/11 was entirely about the general election. If he wins GOP primary, Dems can't run "against Bush"

I mean that as a compliment to Hillary or Bernie. They are begging to run against that tool. Btw, more evidence came out today refuting the idea that Trump was against the Iraq war prior to its start.
