The New American Politics thread

[FlameOn]

So some enterprising reporter (from CBS Denver) tried to snoop in the contents of one of Clinton's high profile outdoor fundraisers only to find Clinton is now using white noise generators to prevent her speeches from being recorded. Recordings cut out when she takes the stage and end immediately after. Entire recording got posted online but people haven't been able to clean it up so far.

This is rich coming from the "most transparent politician in modern history". She really really wants to avoid a Romney style speech leak.

The press is so terrible at asking Hillary the right questions. Either that or they're choosing not to. Just infuriating.

Maybe they can wheel in a white noise generator for when Bill makes a speech?

He's doing a great job of torpedoing Hillarys support amongst the African American voting block.

[Looch City]

So on top of that, she's also a racist.

Congrats to Trump on hitting a new milestone: A net approval of -43 (26A, 69D). Big questions is: Can he get to -50?

I feel that this is a time for me and the band to show solidarity for those freedom fighters. As a result, and with deepest apologies to our dedicated fans in Greensboro, we have canceled our show scheduled for Sunday, April 10th. Some things are more important than a rock show and this fight against prejudice and bigotry — which is happening as I write — is one of them. It is the strongest means I have for raising my voice in opposition to those who continue to push us backwards instead of forwards.

Bruce Springsteen

Important gesture that will generate a staggeringly awful amount of terrible news article comments.

[Looch City]

Good, I hope more people and companies come out against that law and start boycotting.

It's absurd that in this day and age we have politicians sitting in office that are more worried about stopping "the gays" rather than working on the economics/infrastructure/jobs of the state...

But what about the gays!! They must be stopped.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Eagerly anticipating Trump's take on Springsteen. Sucks for anyone that flew there to see the show though.

[Coach]

There's a reason they call him The Boss.

Thumbs up to you, sir. I will listen to Born in the USA in your honor.

Of course they must be stopped. If we don't they will finish their Queer-ray and doom us all!

I've been told they mostly use gas. By a person who had first had experience on this gay-gas, so I'm sure he's a reliable source.

Is that just like a nice smelling fart or something?

I didn't remember to ask these important details. I have been informed that they're spreading it everywhere in secret, trying to turn everybody gay.

They were possibly related to those gay bombs the Pentagon is building.

An estimated 77 percent of Americans think that aliens have visited Earth.(idiots)

Shocking that Hillary's campaign is promising to "get to the bottom" of whether rumors of U.S. contact with extraterrestrial life were true.

Now she's getting desperate.

Did you click on the links that you quoted?

Hillary Clinton (jokingly) pledges UFO probe

"Yes, I'm going to get to the bottom of it," Clinton said, tongue-in-cheek, in response to a question from reporter Daymond Steer on UFOs.

"If we were visited someday, I wouldn't be surprised," Bill Clinton said. "I just hope that it's not like 'Independence Day.'"

Steer wrote that when he asked the Democratic front-runner about her husband's comments, she claimed that aliens may have already visited our planet.

"We don't know for sure," Clinton said.

Didn't Obama say something similar in his general election run? I recall him joking about aliens and possibly releasing the files to the public.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Considering how long this election has gone on and how steeped in conspiracy theories his supporters are, I'm surprised Trump hasn't suggested he'll open Area 51 if he wins.

I figure he's hoping that there's still the part about the President's spouse being rescued from a helicopter crash by a stripper.

[Senator Clay Davis]

"Lyin Ted" swept Colorado's caucus, winning all 34 delegates because once again he's very organized and the Donald is not. Cruz is extremely gross but full credit for badly outmaneuvering Trump at the delegate game. Even if Trump somehow wins now, I think the fact he's been so poorly organized and so easily outwitted by Cruz makes it easy fodder to use against him in a general election to show that he doesn't know a damn thing.

Bernie wins Wyoming, but really doesn't, as it's a 7-7 pledged delegate split. With polls showing he's making little inroads in the Northeast closed primaries, its looking like Thursday's debate will be his last stand. He'll need a strong performance to pull a few upsets or at least keep the margins close.
