Limbaugh is an awful human being.

I'm not certain that belongs here as it implies that Rush is human.

100% because Vermont is a Republican state at heart.

Wtf?

Historically, Vermont was the most Republican State in the Union, consistently having either the highest or second highest Republican vote percentage from the founding of the Republican Party thru the election of 1936. It wasn't until 1964 that Vermont ever voted for a Democratic presidential candiadte and it wouldn't do so again until 1992.

Applicable to a lot of stuff here on the forum:

This is in poor taste.

Nah, this is more Sulfur Mine material.

Only if Scott Walker posted here.

A lot of people want a third party, but nobody can really agree on what third party they want.

Alternatively, consider posting at Good Atlas, where we don't have a bunch of terrible "mines" cluttering up the place.

You mean you ban them?😝🔨

Context needed:

I had a great sweater once. Really awesome, wore it everywhere. Unfortunately, one day I accidentally cut myself cooking and promptly bled over it. The stain didn't come out. I hard to discard the sweater.

Christie: "I'll get more revenue by lowering taxes"

You have a Bernie sticker. Not surprised how you do not understand this.

You missed.  That belongs in the Theatre of Absurdity if it must be reposted.  We're nowhere near the part of the Laffer curve where tax cuts increase government revenue.

In terms of corporate tax rates and the way they are structured, yes, we are, since we are competing internationally for revenue. 

Is that what Christie was referring to? I didn't watch the debate myself as I had some shopping to get done. If so, technically true but corporate income tax is such a small part of the budget, especially when one is referring to just tax from multinational corporations that can take advantage of forum shopping, that enhancing Federal revenue isn't the main reason to be considering reforming corporate income tax. There's also the fact that the reform that would be effective there is not a simple rate cut, but rather a complete overhaul that would change what gets taxed so that even with static scoring, the same revenue would be raised from a lower rate on a larger tax base.

Most people on this forum don't have lives in the first place.

That's pretty ironic coming from a 12-year old kid.

And that's pretty ironic coming from a 40-years old man, whose main occupation seems to be trolling the 2016 board.

There are far worse places and reasons for 40-year olds to be trolling 12-year olds.

Time for a "simple truth" from the mind of FairBol.  Confucius say, "it is a wise man who knows that there is much he does not know". 

Why are people so eager to misattribute sayings to Kong-zi? This is much more likely a Lao-zi quote instead.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

It's a "Lao-Zi" quote? ROFL.  

Confucius says he's tired of scrutable Westerners putting words in his mouth.

But yeah, in tone what you said has more of a Daoist feel to it than a Confucian feel.

I see Tony's slipping into the classic Atlas fallacy of assuming that people put thought into how they vote.

Anyone remember that Gravis poll from April 11 that had Joe up by 10? Good times.

Those were both of the other Republican opponents Rotika and Messer. Braun stayed out of the fray and rightfully has a positive impression as well.

Donnelly's Approval rating meanwhile has slipped.
Change in Gravis Polls:
April - 47/32 Approval
May - 41/40 Approval

What has Donnelly done in the past month to warrant a 14-point swing in approval?

Gravis is a crappy pollster. It's as simple as that.

According to this forum, who isn’t a crappy pollster?
