Discussion: U.S. Election 2016: Primary Season - Page 2739

these discussions are so counterproductive

no one really changes their point of view, so whats the point

"What are Hillary's economic qualifications?"

Um presenting policies, job, taxes, and wage plans to the American people for one. Then voters decided if it sounds good with the help of economists and the Department of Treasury which will help to make sure everything is in check. Then Congress and other positions in government with either implement or reject these proposals based on their expertise.

That my friends is how the economy in the US works. The president's job is just to make these plans as clear as possible to the American people. So far she has done it, and it is good plan. Bernie has done it. It may or may not turn out well for him. Trump on the other hand has released "half plans" and the little he has released seems to be a wreck waiting to happen.

King Maxx

A president's main job is to bring the country together and to prioritize.

Bill nor Obama are economic geniuses, but they knew what was more important more than Reagan and the two Bushes did. Health care, increased jobs and wages, government regulation of businesses, and social safety net >>>>>>>>>> military spending, tax cuts, budget cuts, etc. It's as simple as that, but Republicans are too blind to see that I guess.

If Georgia actually goes blue in the general election.

I'm not surprised Georgia is in play. The national polls have Clinton up (and these state polls confirm what we know about those two nationally). Now if she can keep GA in play until...let's say September then that'll be something. As of right now it's cute though.

The fact that Hillary is a threat in Georgia during her supposedly brutal primary with a divided party is interesting. Wonder what the numbers would look like when the party finally does unify.

Hillary leads Sanders by 17 in A rated SurveyUSA poll for CA

Just for reference, if the other races left go how they have been this whole cycle by demographics, Sanders would need to be Hillary by 65 points to tie her in delegates

If Hillary turns my state blue, becomes the first female president and the oldest elected president all at the same time and during my first General Election

Georgia is in play because of demographic changes of people, especially blacks, moving to Atlanta and other areas because of the good economy, not b/c Trump or Hillary

Y'all thinking Sanders will still win the nomination

He's able to fail and still be an alleged billionaire due to the "little guys" bearing the brunt of the losses during his bankruptcy cases.

My late great uncle was a real estate developer and construction owner who rose to great wealth while providing services to Trump's Atlantic City businesses. His company helped build some of the casinos and provided steel to many of his projects. A lot of this was done on credit, after all, when a billionaire gets you in good, you accept his word. When Trump filed for bankruptcy, it was his businesses and those of many others who got stiffed. Trump is a shrewd businessman, I'll give him that. The way he's able to leverage profits while reducing his personal financial risk is brilliant, it's also immoral as **** and perfectly legal. So when he brags about filing for bankruptcy and using the laws to amass his wealth, know that it could have been your uncles, your mothers, your friends, who provided goods in exchange for being paid and never got made whole.

Capitalism has winners and losers. That's just the way it is. Having to file bankruptcy on a few companies while still having hundreds of successful ones are just par for the course. His overall record is better than most.

It has to do with both

The population among blacks was huge in GA for Obama and both elections he didn't come within 5 points of Georgia. Her being a Clinton (so doing well with minorities) plus her doing better among southern whites than Obama surely helps, along with Trump being a disaster. But the changing demographics help as well

Literally everyone in here knows this. We've established the demographic shift of Georgia, Arizona, etc. for months now.

I feel like this post was another attempt to shade Hillary, but I doubt Bernie has enough power to turn Georgia blue. He's too liberal. Hillary's moderate views actually helps her here against the radical Trump. It actually helps to put the whole South in play
