[US Election 2016] Republican Primary Megathread

[Idzequitch]

When is Jeb Bush going to drop out already?

Why would he drop out?

He's "too liberal" to be a Republican. Nonsense really, but that's what a lot of GOPers think.

He'd be an awful president. He actually thinks the Iraq War was a good idea. Even Trump called him out on that.

That's just about the only good thing Trump has agreed with in his lifetime.

He is quite moderate compared to the rest, though his and Christie's drug stances are interesting.

Trump actually has good ideas.

>Lower corporate and income taxes

Those last two things? Objectively bad ideas.

Trump supports gay rights.
He supports abortion.
He wants to tax hedge fund managers income as income. (Currently it's taxed as a capital gain).

None of that is good except for the fact that America's corporate tax needs to be lowered for small business.

EDIT: Also of course you deport illegals that's common sense.

Huh. I didn't actually know Trump's views on gays and abortion.

Deport the illegals? Costs money and separating families. Separating little innocent AMERICAN children from their families.

Build a wall? Too much money to build a giant secure wall that is 1,954 miles long where it's impossible for Mexicans to go through.

[Yankee Commonwealth]

Huh. I didn't actually know Trump's views on gays and abortion.

Say what you will. Trump v santorum, I vote trump.

Oh of course. I mean, I always knew Trump wasn't the religious type, so I figured he wouldn't be a moron like Santorum, but I've never actually heard him talk about either of those.

Do you think he avoids talking about abortion and gay marriage so as not to alienate the Republican base?

[Wallenburg]

Depends. Are the babies provided for in the budget?

This is our problem. People think money is more important than the [lives] of children. It's sickening, it's immoral, and it should be stopped.

I agree wholeheartedly, which is why I support Bernie Sanders.

Bernie Sanders gain[ed] support because he guarantees he'll raise the taxes to some '93 percent,'

Since you put that in quotes, I'm sure you are citing a credited, unbiased source.

give away money to people too lazy to work,

[citation needed]

will ensure that lawn guys get paid the same as a high-level CEO,

Bullshit. Also, I was't aware there were low-level CEOs.

and minimum wage is raised to an unreasonable amount.

It's unreasonable to want people to receive wages high enough to feed their children?

Bernie Sanders is [right] about everything,

FTFY

and anyone who votes for him is voting for a non-american.

I checked my birth certificate. Still says Santa Monica. Any guess what that will change to if I vote for Sanders?

[Ethel mermania]

No. He just hasn't found a way to hoodwink the dumb fuckers on that issue yet. When he comes up with the "right" angle on sex and baby issues to con the dumb-asses that support him, then he'll "talk" to y'all about it.

Carly Fiorina

Perfect, college-level argument. You avoid redundancy and get straight to the point, with detailed, entertaining, and persuasive arguments as to why your preferred candidate is best, and how her policies would improve the nation as a whole. Furthermore, you have demonstrated great knowledge of current politics surrounding electability, ideological reasonability, and application of business experience to the world of government and politics.

For years, profesors and debaters shall look up to this post as the high mark of the discussion of the 2016 election. I applaud you for the hard work you put into this masterpiece, and the many more we can surely expect from you.

I agree. 11/10 best article 2015.
But in all seriousness, my only issue with Carly Fiorina is that she is far too militaristic, even among Republicans. Not as militant as say, Lindsey Graham or Donald Trump, but it could become an issue while on the campaign trail.

Your only issue?

What do you like about her?

[Eol Sha]

AJ+ asked Trump supporters what they are tired of hearing about him. The answers are...interesting, to say the least.

Trump isn't that militant, he criticized Jeb on the Iraq War and said he'd negotiate with Russia.

Actually, he said he'd get along with Putin. What the hell that means, I don't know, but I don't think he's ever said he'd negotiate with Russia.

As I said to a classmate of mine today, if Trump became president, we could hope to discover what Putin looks like when he smiles.
