Surely an independent run is going to hurt the republicans a lot?

Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Right. He's operating from a totally different place that they just can't compete on. (Stewart, not Trump 
)
)Can't see anyone considering him as a VP since Trump isn't likely to play by anyone's rules but his own, which would quickly implode on whoever selects him. He's probably delusional and narcissistic enough to believe he can win as a 3rd candidate, which would more or less doom the GOP.

Sanders will turn out the Young and Non-white votes.
I'm begining to 'believe'...
I'm begining to 'believe'...
I've been following his campaign since he announced. He definitely gets busy, attracting bigger crowds than anyone in the country and saying all the right things to the core constituencies of the Democratic vote who are still largely in the Clinton camp as of now. He's only been going for a month and he couldn't be doing much better.
In the Quinnipiac poll Clinton's even winning the 'Very Liberal' vote 46-31 against him at the moment. He can easily sweep those voters up given time, surely. I also think he could make substantial gains during the debates. It helps that the TV news media seem happy to give him a fair shake for now.
Go Sanders. Love the man.
I facepalm'd all the way through this video.
I just noticed that Rubio has massive ears. He's unearlectable.

In what country, in what political party, in what culture, could a senator, a major presidential candidate, run an ad like this and think it´s even remotely acceptable??? It must be the best country in the world.
He's trying to stand out in a muddled field of 20 candidates that's being led by Trump, who is sucking all the oxygen out of everyone else's narrative.
Trump will implde in the debate. I can't wait, it's gonna be epic. Every other candidate bar Cruz will attack him.
I thought it was a well edited parody video until you saw Cruz literally put the fork on the bacon and start eating at the end.
They are saying that Biden may run. I think he's the only likely candidate to beat Hillary in a primary.
I'd vote for Joe over Hillary. He's a decent man.
Like that??? What is he, 12 years old?
like Joe. His hands are not dirty.
It's crazy, isn't it? An ad like that is considered perfectly acceptable these days for a guy running for the highest office. America is really fecked.
Since they don't have preference voting I think Biden would split the centre vote between himself and Hillary pretty cleanly and create the only realistic chance for Bernie Sanders to take the nomination from the left.
There's this 'If you like Clinton, You'll love Sanders' thing going around. I hope it catches on. Excellent way to leverage your rival's popularity to your gain.

Big night for Trump. If he bottles it, he will be out in a NY minute. If he holds serve, it will be a nightmare for the rest of the field, especially Bush and Walker.
The debate will be awesome.
Theres a debate tonight?
feck me that Dem list is tired and old and stale. Wheres all the young hip Dems like Deval Patrick and Rahm Emanuel? Are there no Kennedys left?

Anybody know the best way to catch Thursday's farce over here in the UK? I've got Sky.
Don't think it'll be on telly, but there'll definitely be live streams knocking about.
Sanders is still an unknown to a majority of Americans, with just 44% able to rate him compared with Clinton's 89%
A long way to go.
It made me chuckle, not laugh mind you, but just a chuckle at it's silliness. I guess if you are always looking for things to be upset about this will do.
Thought it was funny as well, much like Graham taking a sledgehammer to his phone after Trump published his number.
It's on Fox News at 10pm UK time.

oh no, we're going to be seeing more and more Reince Priebus on our telly. I hate his stupid face and creepy voice.
I'm tempted to watch... In the same way you cant help looking over at a car crash...
That's the only reason I ever watch Fox News. I used to watch Hannity and O'Reily and that cnut Beck (before he left) just to see how batshit they all are. The US election is always car crash viewing. The two parties and followers are always at such complete polar opposites of each other. It really is funny until you realise how important to the rest of the world it all really is. Bush and Cheney were a feckin nightmare and caused untold damage, Palin as VP would have been an absolute disaster.
You can discuss Obama's domestic failings, but for the most part his foreign policy has been extremely good. He has always appeared to be firm when needed and yet always held out an olive branch. His recent deal with Iran is proof of this. Ironically Fox News hate this deal and imbeciles like Huckabee are crucifying him for it, yet that moron said back in 2006 that the only way to deal with the Iranians was over a table and not with a war. They also conveniently forget their hero Regan sold arms to the Iranians. Palin and co were calling for a war against Syria, a war against Russia and Putin, saying it was wrong to leave Afghanistan and Iraq and to bomb the shit out of Iran and North Korea. I for one sleep safer at night knowing Obama is in power and not any of those dangerous cnuts. I just hope our American friends can help us all sleep a little safer after this election.
That really makes you chuckle? It seems like such a sophomoric, creepy attempt at humor. Immature, conservative humor. Far more idiotic than silly. But I suppose I could imagine you chuckling at it in all your doughy blandness.
I just can´t imagine it being humorous to anyone, in any form. Do you guys also find it silly and funny this presidential candidate is using the same AR 15 model to cook his bacon as the kid in Newtown used to slaughter all those kids?

All I see is a pandering attempt at wit from someone glaringly witless. Some dork cooked bacon on a gun barrel.
As for the model of the gun, I don't expect you'll find a gun that hasn't been used to perpetrate some sort of senseless murder.
If Cruz told the funniest joke in the world, would you have an ear for it coming from him? Honestly, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't.

It must be exhausting to always be angry over everything Nobby.
