SNL hasn't been relevant in years, as much as I've liked the people on it.
I guess crossing your fingers is how libs think Hillary is going to win.

So I'm getting reports you guys aren't attacking the content and are attacking each other instead.
Honestly I'm tired of the P&R section causing problems and I'm more then willing to start handing out topic bans and more for those who continue to contribute to the toxic hell hole this becomes.
Consider this the warning, from here on out I'm not giving you warnings on your accounts (from P&R infractions) I will skip straight to topic bans and suspensions.

Nope, I'm content like in '08 the Republicans will field a poor candidate and again hand victory to the opposition not by virtue of a superior candidate but by the failure of their own choice. Hillary is a box of damaged goods and her political facade renders her inauthentic but even her hobbled by her issues is still a batter statesman than the frontrunners in the (R) primary thus far.
But then again, last time this cycle Santorum and Huckabee were the darlings. Now they're in the kiddie pool with Jindal and that guy from NY no one cares about.
Trump or Carson are failures. Rubio might have a better chance.

Only Pleebo and Jassik are the ones attacking others and not the discussion. I'm sure they didn't get any reports on them, did they?

Pretty sure you have been crossing your fingers for the last 6 months that something would cause her to drop out.

We'll see. I look forward to either Trump or Carson in the primary getting rolled by Clinton if it comes to that. It'll be Romney 2.0 and there won't be an Obama to blame this go around.
Believe it.

Crossing my fingers is a bit much. She's got dirt on Obama, he'll never allow her to be imprisioned. However the public thinks she's more untrustworthy every day. If people want to live in a place where that is insignificant, they're free to.

They are there for entertainment value, nothing more.
Neither have produced any real policies to speak of.
I just wish there was a candidate worth listening to, since Walker left.

Nausi realizes that his choice of candidates is all turds up so he instead hopes that by destroying Clinton that we'll somehow all vote for Trump, an empty blowhard who should have stuck to reality TV firing people to sound stings or Carson who really should have stuck shilling books or performing neurosurgery.
Trump has completely eviscerated Bush, Fiorina is a nonstarter, Cruz is too divisive leaving us with Rubio, Paul or Kaisch.

Its his personal expenditures, stuff he has spent money on while in office. Its been going on for a long time, I would expect to see it come up in the next debate.

Liberals are very passionate about this election because of all they risk to lose if Hillary or Sanders do not get elected. You will never convince them otherwise. People got 8 years of the government teet and do not wish to actually work for a living. These are the same people I have seen in the $15 minimum wage argument screaming how they should be able to support a family of 4 from a part time McDonalds gig. I hope to see someone from the Republican field get the presidency and half you people have to get jobs. No names mentioned but it seems like the same select liberal supporters post 24/7 so I am guessing your not at work, ever.

It makes perfect sense. Why is it when Hillary was on SNL people on this forum called her everything short of godly? Now Trump is going to be on there liberals are protesting, screaming and just about in a rage. Someone says something good about a Republican on here and everyone immediately jumps their ***. What is one of the biggest differences between the current Republican field and the Democratic field, entitlements.

I don't think we even reacted to Hillary's appearance on SNL. The only person that cares about Trump's appearance is nausi. No one on this site cares if Trump goes on SNL, sans nausi, since its his candidate. And everyone that posts something good about Hillary gets jumped, so keep making stuff up.

Or you could explain how any of the current (R) frontrunners are currently ideal in a general election. Protip: They're not.
Trump will hand millions of Latinos to the Dems.
Carson isn't ready for primetime.
Both are weak, hollow, straight-talkers who know more about their respective expertise than actually you know.. being a statesman.
At this rate I'll be writing in Vladimir V. Putin for POTUS.

Trump has crossover appeal as well. I am sure it is most likely not a ton but he has Democratic supporters too. I think he can do it. The people are tired of the same old candidate and same status quo from Washington. Times are changing in the electorate. There is alot of conflict in the Democrat side as well, especially over the Pacific Trade Deal.

That's the most ignorant thing you've said in a while. Yes, people pay, by buying products from companies that pay to advertise.
Exsqueeze me?
It's not a boycott. A boycott would be refusing to buy Trump ties because you don't like Donald Trump. If Trump had a movie in theatres, refusing to go would be a boycott. If you do not want to see Donald trump on SNL on a broadcast network then watch something else and encourage others to do the same. You have options.
Trying to get it shut down is not a boycott. Preventing him from being heard on what will surely be a record breaking audience is not a boycott. It is intolerance. It is censorship.

Phoenix.Amandarius said: »It is censorship. Would you consider it censorship if a radio announcer was fired for made a racist remark on air? In any case, the issue is a matter of a person being able to 1) get away with saying something that promotes a hateful mentality and 2) people calling out those who are accepting of that behavior.

It is not censorship for a company to fire an employed representative that while working made racist comments that do not represent the views of the company.
Is calling large groups of people racist promoting a hateful mentality?
By Jassik 2015-11-05 18:42:26
Calling an entire nation rapists and drug traffickers sure does.

Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.

Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
