Irish ain't white

2018-12-19 17:12:16 UTC  

umm whhat

2018-12-19 17:12:32 UTC  

I'm not saying Beto will be the nominee. But if he is he'll win.

2018-12-19 17:12:54 UTC  

he's good nickname fodder

2018-12-19 17:13:02 UTC  

Beto gets women's panties moist, and they'll turn out in droves to vote for him.

2018-12-19 17:13:06 UTC  

like Jeb and Marco

2018-12-19 17:13:09 UTC  

Isn't democracy wonderful?

2018-12-19 17:13:10 UTC  

too fake

2018-12-19 17:13:23 UTC  

Obama and Kennedy were fake too.

2018-12-19 17:13:44 UTC  

they had no real opposition

2018-12-19 17:14:08 UTC  

Romney and McCain were not serious candidates

2018-12-19 17:14:11 UTC  

Not true, Kennedy almost lost the 1960 election to Nixon.

2018-12-19 17:15:01 UTC  

You're right about Obama however.

2018-12-19 17:15:11 UTC  

Kennedy was also much more charismatic than Obama and Beto combined

2018-12-19 17:16:02 UTC  

wouldn't you agree that Trump is a better candidate to run against Obama-like facades

2018-12-19 17:16:34 UTC  

Better than Romney or McCain, but if Trump ran against Obama, he would lose.

2018-12-19 17:16:46 UTC  

i disagree

2018-12-19 17:16:52 UTC  

i think he would have won

2018-12-19 17:16:57 UTC  

by taking the rust belt

2018-12-19 17:16:59 UTC  

Black people turned out in huge numbers to vote for Obama.

2018-12-19 17:17:22 UTC  

Obama received more votes in the Rust belt than Trump.

2018-12-19 17:17:24 UTC  

and they aren't hugely represented in Florida, Michigan and Ohio

2018-12-19 17:17:43 UTC  

Trump could win Florida over Obama, but not the rust belt.

2018-12-19 17:17:47 UTC  

the circumstances in 2008 and 2016 were a lot different

2018-12-19 17:18:05 UTC  

what decides the election is whhether there will be an economic crisis

2018-12-19 17:18:07 UTC  

exactly, people were tired of 8 years of neocon bs

2018-12-19 17:18:08 UTC  

What? Of course there are black people in Florida, Michigan, and Ohio.

2018-12-19 17:18:22 UTC  

Detroit is in Michigan.

2018-12-19 17:18:43 UTC  

not significantly enough to outright swing the states @Thomas O'Malley

2018-12-19 17:19:00 UTC  

Yes they can swing those states.

2018-12-19 17:19:24 UTC  

If black people couldn't vote, they would be red states, not purple states.

2018-12-19 17:19:54 UTC  

so 13% of US population decides every election?

2018-12-19 17:20:08 UTC  

asians and women too

2018-12-19 17:20:14 UTC  

It sounds crazy, but yes.

2018-12-19 17:20:39 UTC  

If Black Americans couldn't vote, Democrats would have lost every election in the past 50 years.

2018-12-19 17:20:52 UTC  

Republicans have lost the black vote for the last 50 years but have still been able to win

2018-12-19 17:21:01 UTC  

The last Democrat to win the white vote was Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.

2018-12-19 17:21:07 UTC  

and Hispanics are voting GOP more and more

2018-12-19 17:21:29 UTC  

Republicans have lost the Black vote for much longer than that.

2018-12-19 17:21:49 UTC  

The last Republican to win the black vote was Herbert Hoover in 1932.
