Article on the redesigned DailyKos, Bernie Sanders wins 2016 Mock Election.  The University of Illinois mock election has been accurately predicting the winner EVERY TIME since 1975.  Now they have Sanders winning in a 4-1 landslide.  Wow.

I couldn't help notice a part in the entry that says no news organization is reporting this, pretty much status quo.  It honestly has me wondering: how long can that go on?  Could it literally last until election night?  Could Bernie be reported as a crazy fringe candidate up to the point where he gets 270?  (And you know that sh*t would be contested, Bush v Gore was NOTHING compared to the legal h3ll we'll get if the people elect Sanders cause no one else wants him in power).

I really hope he doesn't win....same goes for Hillary. But that's just my personal wishing. As for realistically winning, I can't see Bernie winning at all, let alone by a 4-1 margin.

Round 4 for the Republican's tonight. I really hope this debate is one with substance and not the train wreck from 2 weeks ago.

After Trump's 90 minute rant/tirade about Carson last night, I'm certain this is the beginning of Trump's downfall. I can't see how this would help him in anyway. Also, calling the people of Iowa "stupid" people for believing anything Carson says, is a one-way ticket out of the GOP race. Honestly, I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did.

I'm calling it... the downfall (slow or fast, but I suspect fast), of Donald Trump. He has never appeared presidential. In fact, more of his real self is becoming clearer and  he consistently displays the attitude of a teenager or younger. I say 'fast' because I picture him getting ticked off because his ratings are going down or he's being ignored, or something where he will huff and take his ball with him.

Ben Carson
is not exactly impressing me anymore either. In fact, he's raising my eyebrows quite a bit with his comments, lies and beliefs of late. He may appear more presidential, but I have to trust the man. I suspect he's not being crucified because he's not a threat to anyone. Especially the public.

The terrorist attack in Paris tonight is horrible news. I feel bad for all those families who's lives are forever ruined. Hopefully Obama finally steps up and does something that will curb this kind of violence. No more half measures. Either you're all in or not. No more training 'rebels'....no more sending 50 Elite Soldiers. It's time to put boots on the ground and not just the US, but other countries as well.

Bernie Sanders is a dumbf*ck. Get this clown out of here. If he is not going to challenge Hilary on any issues and is willingly handing the nomination to her, then why the f*ck is this idiot even running?

I gotta tell you, the recent realization that the Democratic party would never give Sanders the nomination anyway kinda has me numb to this whole BS thing now.  Republican offerings are a joke.  Clinton is treated like the de facto obvious choice, just because she's been running for it for so long.  Makes the whole thing feel far more pointless than usual.  I mean, the third choice... not a choice, that's not gonna happen.  Not viable.

I mean, it's felt meaningless in the past, but now it just feels like what we all suspect: it's only there to perpetuate itself, the only choices we'll get are in the best interests of the pre-existing power structure.  But it just feels so blatant now, like it's not even trying.

The whole thing is a farce....on both sides. Seriously, why the f*ck is Clinton being given the crown? What the f*ck did she ever do that was worthy of that kind of honor? She's been horrible in everything she has done. Her policies suck and it sends chills up my back thinking she is going to be running this country. Shameful.

You guys are nailing it. I too have the same feelings and perspective.

I wonder what percentage of America thinks this?

The press is ripping Obama a new one after his speech this morning and rightly so. The most ineffective President ever just put the American people at greater risk. Thanks. Enjoy your "Legacy" as the worst President ever. Infuriating.

French father explains terror attacks to his young son



I saw this a couple of times today on CNN and it's heartbreaking to see a little boy having to confront the reality of the world we live in. But I absolutely love how the father talked to him in the manner he does to reassure him he is safe. Made me well up.

Democrats just delivered a stunning blow to Obama's Syrian refugee plan

In what has been a very sh*tty week for American's having to stomach the idiocy of the Three Stooges (Obama, Kerry and Clinton), there is something almost gleeful about the news that Congress has temporarily stopped Obama's insane policy that would/will do harm to the American people in the long run. What makes it better is that his own Democratic party turned against him. Here's to common sense making it's way to the senate floor for once.

This Republican race for the Presidency is giving me a massive headache. I can't take this sh*t anymore. Even when I turn the TV off and do something else, I still can't get away from it. Trump opens up his mouth and puts his foot in it and suddenly it's all over the place....again. My head hurts. I've always maintained that his run was for "ratings" and name branding only. I still believe that. This country is f*cked no matter who "wins" be it Republican or Democrat.
