Christie cannot give an answer without "HILARY CLINTON IS BAD, K?"

That was legit by Huckabee. We need to take care of our own first before helping foreigners.

The notion that "America is always called upon to do the most!" is so laughable though, when you have Germany and numerous other European countries accepting tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of refugees.

Also, hypocritical as it's been widely stated by him and other religious conservatives that we need to do more to help the Christians!

HEY ASSHOLE ICY

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE WHICH THREAD TO POST IN

LIKE A TRUE DEMOCRACY

What?

PEOPLE DIED FOR THIS.

I would hardly say that people died for you to say whatever you want.
And why is that?

Because there has never been a war that we fought in over "My right to say what I want!" It's always been about more pressing issues Revolution was about creating our own nation with representation that we lacked in the British government at the time, Civil War was about slavery and the divide between North and South, World Wars had nothing to do with speech, War on Terror is...not even sure what to describe it as.

At most, it's simply a nice right that was thrown in during out creation as a union and has become common in democracies.




These people were killed because they exercised their right to freely express themselves.

Freedom of Expression =/= Freedom of Speech

There's quite a few important differences.
speech is a form of expression

And yet, they are two distinctly separate rights.

This is poorly done.

I can explain more if needed.

Please do.

Fine, let's begin with the most visible problem - the decision of state decisions (Maryland and Illinois going Republican, while Louisiana and Mississippi going Democrat) shows a clear failure to understand political trends and voting demographics in these states.

Let's go back seven years to the 2008 election between McCain and Obama and focus on the two southern states, Louisiana and Mississippi, shall we?



Notice the South - it's a red blockade. Now, forward 4 years to 2012:



Even more red, with North Carolina flipping. Both states also have an extremely strong minority presence (See below) and large wealth disparity conditions, with some of the highest cases of extreme poverty. These groups tend to overwhelmingly vote Democratic, but even Obama, who had large majority of support from said groups, could not flip a dominating, Souther Republican force.

Even if Sanders were to overcome his issues with the black voter base, he wouldn't nearly gain the amount of support that Obama had in the 2008 General (Hope! Change!), and therefore would fail to flip the state. The fact that they think Sanders could cut into the Southern GOP blockade in two of the most Republican states (And not even carry North Carolina, a battleground state and more Democratic) starts to shed doubt on their verdict in the other states.

I'm also curious as to how they got a Sanders/Bush General, and how the information was collected. Septy, if you could link me?

If it makes you feel better, he doesn't even have 1% in the poll.

Shitty state, but quite important in (at least) the primary election. It's been known to make or break numerous campaigns.

GOP Poll
Democrat Poll
Quote
Washington (CNN)Ben Carson has surged in South Carolina to pull just ahead of Donald Trump -- a statistical dead heat -- in the Republican presidential primary in the key early state, according to a new poll.

In the Monmouth University poll released Monday, Carson led the Republican primary field with support from 28% of likely Republican South Carolina voters. Trump was close behind, at 27%, and no other candidates were within the margin of error.

The numbers are a shift from Monmouth's last South Carolina poll in late August, where Trump doubled Carson, 30% to 15%.

The numbers are also a shift from the CNN/ORC poll of South Carolina Republican primary voters in October, where Trump was ahead of Carson 36% to 18%.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio continued his trend of good polling results after a strong debate performance, coming in third behind the two front-runners with 11%.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was in fourth, at 9%, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was in fifth, at 7%. No one else topped 2%.

Hillary Clinton has a commanding lead over Bernie Sanders in South Carolina, according to the results of a new poll released Tuesday.

Clinton has the support of 69 percent of likely voters in South Carolina's Democratic primary, while the independent Vermont senator trails with just 21 percent, according to the latest Monmouth University Poll. Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley barely registers, with just 1 percent support.

South Carolina's Democratic primary is open to supporters of other parties, including Republicans and independents. When the poll's respondents are limited to self-described Democrats likely to vote in the primary, Clinton's lead is ever higher: 74 percent to Sanders' 16 percent.

The former secretary of state, who lost the 2008 South Carolina primary to then-Sen. Barack Obama, leads with African Americans — three out of four believe she would do an “excellent” or “good” job as president. Just over half feel the same about Sanders.

Clinton also has high favorable ratings (81 percent) compared with 7 percent unfavorable. Sanders has a 58 percent favorability rating, with 13 unfavorable and O’Malley has 18 percent favorable, 18 percent unfavorable.

The telephone poll was conducted Nov. 5-8 with 400 likely South Carolina Democratic primary voters. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

but they're not gonna enjoy it.
Why not? Pretty sure men have the same kind of "pleasure zones" women do in their ass.
That's the whole point. The "pleasure zones" in our ass are irrelevant, because they're not gonna fire off if you aren't gay.

Not necessary true - look at men who are raped by other men. Although they may not be gay, there are many cases where they do experience arousal and/or ejaculation due to the stimulation of the prostate.

Being gay has nothing to do with the prostate.
