I mean, I'm not saying this because I don't agree with Common Core myself ( or am I  ), but like... is it really ridiculous to want to abolish it?

And as far as I'm concerned isn't he not even eligible to be the nominee since he didn't win 8 states? So unless the RNC changes rules in the middle of the primary he will never be chosen

Does that rule carry over to this convention? I heard he would be eligible after the first ballot.

To find out, The Root spoke with Geneva Reed-Veal, mother of Sandra Bland, the young woman who died mysteriously after being taken to a Texas jail after a routine traffic stop. Reed-Veal recently announced that she would be endorsing Hillary Clinton in 2016, and we wanted to know why.
The Root: Are you supporting Hillary Clinton because you think she’ll actually do more on criminal-justice issues than Bernie Sanders?
Geneva Reed-Veal: I believe that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person to be president of the United States. It’s not that she’s the more qualified than Sanders or anyone else; she’s the most qualified person to be president. She stands for equal pay for women, increasing the minimum wage. She will take a stand.

TR: How do you respond to the criticism that these campaigns are exploiting black family tragedy for votes?
GRV: I listened to those who said that about endorsing. Let me tell you. I’m an adult and I’m not being exploited. I’m not being exploited by anybody. I supported Hillary in 2008, and if someone of their own free will wants to come out and work for a campaign, then that’s not exploitation. Hillary reached out to my family last year. She sent a handwritten note. She met with me and other mothers in Chicago. No press was there, no one talked about all the things she’s done for me and my family. And let me be clear: Had I not lost Sandy, I would still be out there endorsing and working for Hillary.

When most mothers endorse presidential candidates, their voices have limited impact. But an endorsement by the mother of Sandra Bland, a black woman who died in police custody? That holds weight.
Geneva Reed-Veal endorsed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton a few weeks ago—and she’s proud. “Hillary has been championing women and families for over a decade.”

She’s not alone: The mothers of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Dontre Hamilton, and Eric Garner are also supporting Clinton through Mothers of the Movement, a coalition they, along with Reed-Veal, formed for mothers whose children were killed by state violence.

The Mothers of the Movement are part of the Hillary Coalition. They are helping promote and encourage voters to side with Hillary. The mothers have addressed this issues countless times and have shut people down every single time.

Good ad!

No it isn't a lie. It's proven to be true that the west has less democrats and vote for republican candidates by a bigger margin
So unless you have something to prove me wrong with I'm gonna continue to go with that narrative

When RatedG says "west" he means the mountain and plains states, I.e. Montana, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. He is NOT including the west coast.  Colorado is the only real outlier that liberals have a chance.

What should be Hillary's priorities when she steps into office?
1. Immigration reform
2. Anti-discrimination reform (LGBT protections, equal pay for equal work)
3. Criminal Justice reform
4. Climate Change

So the GOP are stepping up their opposition to Trump winning the GOP nomination! LOL
If they manage to deny him the nomination, he is increasingly likely to run as an independent!

The most important issues according to the average American is the terrosist threat, right?
I think her first effort should either be national security reform or education reform. Those are the two big ones, I want to see her college plan get passed ASAP.

Criminal Justice reform and Immigration reform should be top priorities in my opinion.

I don't think he will run as an independent, but that would basically hand Hillary the election.

Clinton's first act should be to build a wall around Trump Tower, and make the Donald pay for it!

I think it will help Hillary win for sure. But I don't see Trump meekly accepting him losing the GOP nomination thanks to GOP hierarchy shenanigans. He would likely accept losing at the ballot box, but not due to the GOP Party playing the system. If Trump doesn't win this time around, he will never run again. So he might feel it is worth running as an independent and breaking his earlier pledge not to do so, if he feels that the GOP hierarchy conspired to rob him of victory. His ego might compell him to fight back and run as an independent to spite the efforts of the GOP to sabotage him. If the GOP somehow conspired to give Cruz or Kasich the nomination, then Trump might run just to destroy their chances in return.
