The Other Side of Midnight - Richard C. Hoagland - Live Chat Thread

Several of my BernieBro friends say they won't vote for Hilary.

2008 had that whole PUMA (Party Unity My Ass) thing. Been there, done that. Any Bernie Bro that doesn't vote for Hillary is a fucking idiot.

[Sandra Kristen]

Trouble is the superdelegates.

The ones all for Hillary?

Mine too, too bad they live in Oklahoma and their vote won't count.

Figured Hoagie was more the Anderson Cooper type.

Hot for Rachel

[Ciardelo]

Yeah but the whole "Republican party is falling apart" is straight from Maddow and her minions on MSNBC

[SciFiAuthor]

The ones all for Hillary?

Yeah, just the whole idea of it. Bernie should have a real, fair chance. But the deck is stacked against him.

[norland2424]

wtf is hoagie talking about oaths lol

[TigerLily]

Ick. I'm out. Braaps, sweeties

[Ciardelo]

lol Hoagy and his fake name drops.

[Juan Cena]

Trouble is the superdelegates.

The ones Bernie and his BernieBros whined about for so freaking long, but are now courting? So much for integrity.

[Ciardelo]

Ick. I'm out. Braaps, sweeties

Goodnight, I'm probably not too long either, since Hoagy isn't letting the informed guest talk.

[norland2424]

is hoagie having a stroke lol

[Sandra Kristen]

Just the whole idea of it. Bernie should have a real, fair chance. But the deck is stacked against him.

If the Super Delegates voted for their states vote Hillary would still be ahead. By even more.

[Juan Cena]

Hot for Rachel

For Chris Hayes, maybe.

[zeebo]

Probably the best thing for the repubs would be to self-destruct then be reborn as a more centrist, libertarian-style version. 

[Juan Cena]

I'm shocked at this. SHOCKED, I tell you!

It's kind of odd to see some Democrats wanting to disenfranchise black voters.

[Morgus]

Hoagie keeps putting his so-called open lines shows on Tuesday nights so he can discuss the election primary action earlier in the day?

[Ciardelo]

"I really like Donald" Hoagy, Hoagy, Hoagy, lying does not become you buddy...you forget we have heard you say differently just last week Senpai

[SciFiAuthor]

Even still, its the idea of it. It's undemocratic and archaic to have a political aristocracy that can influence the choosing of a candidate. Might as well just go back to royal courts.

They don't have the demographics to win a presidential election for a long time. All those wedge issues they used over the last 20 years are now catching up to them.  But they will probably keep control of the house due to gerrymandering.

[Juan Cena]

is hoagie having a stroke lol

Hoagie has a stroke every time he thinks about Space.

[Ciardelo]

This is where us old fucks have to remind the youngsters that it was the Republican party that supported the black voters long before the Democrats.

[zeebo]

"I really like Donald" Hoagy, Hoagy, Hoagy, lying does not become you buddy...you forget we have heard you say differently just last week Senpai

He was comparing his campaign to the rise of fascism in the 30's just recently

[norland2424]

" he smashed her yes " rch - 2016

Hillary is up like 300 in pledged delegates. They don't really matter. Hillary's popular vote is like 3 million more than Sanders.

I'm not holding my breath about the Dems winning either the Senate or House. Heck, Trump probably has a better chance to win than anyone on MSNBC would like to admit.

[Ciardelo]

I think that would be nice, but there is too much power in keeping things the same. What America really needs is a real third party, but niether one of the big two will let that happen.

[Sandra Kristen]

This is where us old fucks have to remind the youngsters that it was the Republican party that supported the black voters long before the Democrats.

And it was Democrats that gave them civil rights in the 1960s. Party's change and realign. Dixiecrats became Republicans.

Nailed it.
