Worry not, Abs. Trump won't get it.

The trouble there is that then Cruz will.... and he is every bit the scum-sucking pig that Drumpf is...with a pantload of jesus thrown in to fuck things up even more.

Hillary will have to save us from ourselves.

Well, I was talking about the nomination and not the office itself.

From the view of EC nose-counting, Cruz is definitely the more dangerous of the two

I agree. Cruz would be a third term of GWB - a stupid Jesus freak. If he get's the nomination, hopefully Hillary will be able to paint him with that brush. GWB is still unpopular. I think that would be her best chance against him. Argue that we have seen this before and it wasn't pretty.

What do you expect them to do?  It's Wisconsin.   Beer or cheese is about the only choice.

The problem here is 'Hillary as savior'. Consider the fact that the GOP field has been whittled down to three buffoons from what was an out of control clown car. The Democratic nominee should win going away, but there's a real risk that Hillary will have trouble sealing the deal. Most conversation centers on the GOP disaster, but I hear almost nothing from punditry at large about how pathetic Democrats are for coronating this neo-con corporate shill.

Then you can think about this.  Far-fetched but as this race has shown there is no bottom to stupid.

This might actually lead to rioting in the streets.  The poor cops would be hard-pressed just picking out the minorities to shoot when you had all these nutty old white fucks out there waving their guns around.

Yeah...build a wall, asshole.

Catholic Ayn Rand lover. How bad can that be compared to the other assclowns? You honestly think the great unwashed would rebel if their billionaire working class hero wouldn't get nominated? This is America. The most you will get is some clownish Bundy standoff.

Drumpf's fans are dumb enough to start some shit.  Bernie's fans will go back to mommie's basement.  Cruz's fans will start shrieking about jesus and Hillary's fans will be filing law suits.

The point is that an election decided in the HofR would satisfy no one except the relative handful of billionaires.  Of course, with their army of thug cops that may be enough.  But at least we would not have to pretend to be a democracy any more and we could get right down to the business of fascism.
