2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumLiberals for Rick Santorum
If I may make a suggestion. If anyone can vote for Rick in any GOP primary, they should. His winning or at least prolonging the contest would help ensure a big victory for Obama and Democrats in Congress.
Thoughts?

(54,770 posts)Not arguing, just saying there are a bunch who like his crud. I hope you are right.
the longer he is in , the more apparent it is that all of the republic candidates are lunatics. They continue to try to out crazy each other.

Our state party is making sure all democrats know this is an open primary, in a subtle way

(2,384 posts)And in all fairness, I do have a democratic primary with some important races. So I don't know if I am going to follow my own advice.
However, if you have no legit reason to vote in the Dem primary, why not have a little fun? Add a little yellow 5 to their wonderful wonderful soup.

A seemingly small miscue - especially combined with a Klown who slows at the wrong time - causes a huge chain reaction wreck! The Klowns could dodge a "steamroller" slow moving obstacle, but a nudge from an errant competitor is what turns the mayhem loose!
Make up your own mind about who's representing which Klown.
The caucus version:

(9,997 posts)Adelson will buy Team Newt some new tires, his boys will try to hammer the car straight and he cares more about taking out the Mormon Meteor than the overall win. Little Ricky has been challenging for the lead, but is looking like he could be low on fuel - may sputter at any moment. Ron Paul is 2 laps down - but he'll get his spinsor some TV time, and he's testing setups for the next race, when his son takes over the family ride..

I used to spend time in Arizona where Ev Meacham, who was impeached and removed, was voted in because the Democrats were split between two good candidates.
You never know when something may happen and the guy you thought never had a chance in a sane world ends up winning, proving there is no such thing as a sane world.
