This is like something out of a dystopian science fiction film where the dictator makes childrens songs about how gr8 he is
No, and that also sounds terrible lol
like if ure gonna pander to our love for children at least be subtle about it jeez
tehy
Banned deucer.
this only reinforces my deeply held feeling that the following should be kept off limits in political senses:
children
candidate's family
if you want to kiss a baby do it on your own time
and to me most usages of family are dirty as hell, like 'look at my adorable kids who i totally didn't coach to be a certain way and then show them off to the world'.

We're getting really off track. This has little to do with them being children, but Trump's overall creepy message. Imagine if he had three armed soldiers singing the same thing.
Bumping because Iowa caucus is today. I assume smogon has at least 1 18+ Iowan.
Trump's entire campaign kind of teeters on this caucus. If he wins, he's almost guaranteed to sweep the next 4-5 states and possibly win the nomination. If not, he probably won't get the nomination. Today is the day if we see if a Trump presidency is possible.
Sanders is really looking for his big break here against Hillary as well. Excited to see how this turns out!

If you want to make predictions on today, just go with what Selzer says: https://fivethirtyeight.com/feature...ter-iowa-poll-is-out-how-accurate-will-it-be/
She's been the most reliable Iowa pollster for quite a while.

So ted cruise won Iowa, it is absolutely depressing the way this election is turning out(I would rather have trump than cruise).
Just as a question, I have heard a lot of allegations against Hillary Clinton with some saying that she might go to jail, how likely will this pan out into something that forces her into dropping out of the race?

(BTW It's too close between Hillary and Bernie to call in Iowa atm)
Anyway, Hillary has enough loyal supporters that even if her numbers fell she would probably stay in the race. The only reason I would see her drop out of the race if she was charged with an actual crime, and maybe not even then. I'm pretty sure convicted people aren't allowed to run, but if so nobody would vote for her if she went to Jail.
Also I feel like Ted Cruise is a crazy corrupt bigot but that's really just my opinion. I can't believe I'm saying this, but VOTE TRUMP > CRUZ!!! PLEASE!!!

By the way I agree with your last sentiment. Although for me at this point I am pining for Rubio. As for the first thing, I really wonder how likely the actions she has taken are going to force her out of the race.
I caucused for Bernie. #FeelTheBern
It's highly, highly unlikely it would happen. But if it did... she could keep running.
Eugene Debs, candidate from the Socialist Party, won over 3% of the vote from prison in 1920.

Please be Bernie Sanders.
If it's Trump, the whole planet will die. (Yes it matters)
The only electable Republican is Rubio, Cruz and Trump are too polarizing to even stand a chance (basically those who aren't pro-Trump are usually really anti-Trump). I don't worry about them, I just hope Sanders beats Clinton (against all odds, but there have been more upsets in american elections in the past so I don't rule it out) because Clinton is basically just a seat warmer.
Rubio is only acceptable when compared to Cruz and Trump. Just because he's not as wacko as those two does not make him a moderate.
Yeah I know he is shit, but he is not so extreme that he will scare off all moderates.
