The pontifex has questioned Trumps Christianity. :P

 

 

"For a religious leader to question a person's faith is disgraceful. I am proud to be a Christian," Mr Trump said. "No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man's religion or faith."

 

Hah! Pretty sure of all people to question ones faith it's the head of the religion :P

 

Meanwhile Rubio remarks:

 

"Jesus never intended to give instructions to political leaders on how to run a country," he said.

Hah! Man, if only someone gave out some kind of...I dunno...commandments or something. Maybe they don't apply to politicians I guess.

From 1-10, this presidential election is like a 10 on weirdness to me. We got at the same time, both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump who are in my eyes the expressions to the same issue of our elected government and how ineffective it seems. Bernie supporters seems to have the goal of starting the desired changes from the top with Bernie and/or from the bottom with people like Bernie. Trump is coming in to smash things down with brute force. There's no charm in him, even Hitler has more charm.

 

Besides Bernie or Trump, the other choices in both parties are the establishment. Democrats has Hillary and the Republicans... I don't even know. The Republican party is a mess (even more than 2004/8) and that is helping Trump.

 

So odd. So much promise. So much fear. Thanks internet. Thanks Obama.

As far as the Republicans are concerned, I know they're still bitter over the Benghazi/emails affairs.  Clinton may or may not have fucked up there depending on who you ask, so I can understand to some degree where they are coming from, but...come on, you're really going to use that as an excuse to go running into the arms of Donald Trump?  Guys, I know it's been hard for you since you lost Ronald Reagan and you haven't had any respectable candidates in years, but that's no reason to throw away your self-respect.  You're (slightly) better than that.

I've been reading about how the system works, but can only see information about what happens once you've voted for the delegate to send, not who can vote in the first place. Can you only vote for a delegate if you're registered for that party, or can you vote for who you want to send for both the republican and democrats?

That's not true everywhere, some states allow you to vote in either one regardless of registration, but you can only vote in one of the other.

 

In theory I actually could have voted in both here, because you could change your registration at the Democratic caucus, so after I voted in the Republican one I could have gone to the Democrat, changed my registration, and then caucused in that one too.

Registered Republican because for 90% of races in this area the Republican candidate is going to win (even assuming they're not unopposed, which commonly they are), so as a practical matter the Republican primary is the election, and I'd like to be able to vote in it.
