2016 US Presidential Election - Trump vs Clinton? - Part 1

[Godchin]

Christie is destroying Rubio out there tonight

 

[Warsaw]

Let out an audible 'wow' at Christie after he came back at Rubio



You can literally see Rubio's brain churning, trying to figure out another word for notion.

 

[The Speaker]

lol at Trump wrecking the audience over being almost entirely donors. They acted like a panto audience.

The economy wasn't discussed once.

The economy wasn't discussed once.

Or Flint.

 

[Play by Numbers]

Christie wreckt Rubio.

The blow where he compared him to Obama landed

 

[Rustin Cohle]

I like how Obama trying to "make America more like the rest of the world" is somehow seen as being worthy of condemnation.

 

[RW]

Part of me just wants to whack $20 on John Kasich and sit back and watch the other candidates destroy each other. Not enough love for the guy trying to run a positive campaign!

Santorum killed Rubio when he endorsed him and couldn't state one thing he's accomplished. Since that interview everyone keeps asking Rubio what he's done.

Damn sometimes it's hard to believe if the Republicans will ever hold office again.

Office such a senators,governors etc yes
The Presidency nah I doubt it

 

[Godchin]

Rubio is getting a serve by the media on a day where everyone is sitting in front of their TV's and following social media. Almost certainly gives Trump NH.

Probably a dumb question but what stops democrat supporters from voting in a republican strawman at the republican primary or vice versa?

In the US, when you register to vote you have to choose a party to align with. That allows you participate both in primaries for that party, but not the other party, as well as the general election.

From memory, some states do have open primaries where it doesn't matter about your party affiliation.

What do unaligned voters do or do they not exist?

What do unaligned voters do or do they not exist?

From memory, they can nominate as independent and vote in the general election but not primaries.

 

[Hank Scorpion]

For the Democratic nomination as an example

Closed caucus/primary - only registered Democrats vote
Semi-closed caucus/primary - those registered as Democrats or independents may vote
Semi-open caucus/primary - anyone who is not registered as a Republican may vote
Open caucus/primary - anyone can vote

NH is semi-closed, NV is closed, SC is open, most of the Super Tuesday states are open

Much as I don't think it's going to happen, I'd love to see Kasich run second and be taken more seriously as an alternative to the loons in the Republican Party:

What time does US TV (ie CNN, Fox) coverage of the New Hampshire primary start here in Australia on Foxtel?

One of Jeb! and Kasich will probably finish second.

I know it's only one small demographic, but bloody hell.

Bernie is expected to win NH easily anyway
If those were nation wide stats, it would be more telling

Also polled a similar number of the overall under 30s vote in Iowa.
