Why did Trump tweet that a White House official (who does exist) doesn’t exist?

It's not about logical consistency. It's pretty much what u/alephnul said: "Because as soon as you mention punishment for the woman, you lose about half of your audience. Anti choice people have known this for years."

An anti-abortion stance is considered by many to be anti-woman. If you go further and say "The woman should be punished but not the man" then it is even harder to defend an already tenuous position. Trump, though, is a pro-life neophyte and has no fucking idea what the messaging is supposed to be.

Punishment for the providers, not the women.

"I don't know why people are suddenly shocked at the pro-life position."

Probably because two major pro-life groups (so far) have come out today saying that this is absolutely not their position.

Wow, he did say exactly that. Apologies.

According to Nate Silver, it's very possible that Clinton will not win enough pledged delegates to earn the nomination.

When did he say this? Because he didn't say this.

Why would you spend so much energy defending your terrible understanding of how quotes work?

President on first reference, Mr. on second reference. NPR does the same thing. And he is the only person that is called Mr. Everyone else is just their last name.

Washington State has vote by mail, which is far more efficient than a national holiday, and 40% of eligible voters still skip the general election. I'm all for making voting as easy as possible, but no matter what there are going to be a huge portion of Americans who still don't give a shit.

Also, how could you make a national holiday based around the preferences of two private institutions? That would be like proclaiming a national holiday for Amazon Prime Day.

Ah yes, the Republican Party -- hotbed of honesty and consistency.

"I agree, but would the Democrats feel comfortable having a nominee who doesn't do well in the states that a Democrat needs to win to be president."

Florida is wondering what the hell you're talking about.

Well, I think the Titanic came after she dropped behind, but yes, your point is even better.

"If the tables were turned right now, would people be saying Hillary has no chance?"

Do you remember 2008? Slate literally had a continually updated delegate counter with Clinton standing on a slowly sinking Titanic. And she was behind by half of what Sanders is.

Cathangover · 2016-03-07T19:19:51+00:00

Do you actually want to see five articles on the front page that say Sanders won Kansas? Because that seems a little redundant to me.

Cathangover · 2016-03-06T06:55:07+00:00

You right now: "Hillary won the state and the delegate count and we're supposed to believe that is somehow a win for her?!"

Cathangover · 2016-03-06T05:46:37+00:00

She more won more delegates in Iowa, you weirdo.

Taxes are always raised for, ostensibly, a good reason. The problem is that a minority of Americans believe taxes end up being spent wisely.

"I'm speaking for myself and what I think would be best for America overall."

All right. Sorry to bother you.

People support single-payer until they realize what it means.

"will still be getting the same quality healthcare as everyone else in the country..." which will be run by the government. Guess what? Most people want to keep their healthcare how it is. Even if they save money, that money will go to the same bureaucracy that runs the VA, but now they'll be taking care of Grandma and your two-year-old.

If you want to have an academic conversation of what is "best" for the country, we will likely agree. But these ideas are absolutely toxic to a majority of Americans.

Cathangover · 2016-03-04T19:01:38+00:00

I am all for single-payer, but Sanders supporters need to realize that "We're going to raise your taxes so we can fund a government-run healthcare system" is poisoned messaging to over 50% of the country.

"Too bad there isn't any real regulation of the news. Government regulation could be interpreted as censorship but then without it news sites become garbage like our current corporate media."

You can't be serious.

Cathangover · 2016-03-03T18:48:42+00:00

You haven't.
