The Swamp

Rex

He's a salesman. If he thought that killer giraffes were the issue that would resonate with voters most, he would make exterminating killer giraffes the theme of the campaign.

Rex

Seems like the guy they should be getting on board with their plan is Ryan (the House Speaker, not our own Ryan, though he would be a compelling choice too). Anyone else and it's just spinning wheels.

Got the Big Mac haterz

Rex

I think you're going to get that. I think the Trump pivot to pick up Bernie Bros is on the way. He's well positioned to make income inequality the theme of the general election. Pretty soon you'll hear a lot less about undocumented immigrants and a lot more about free college and student loan forgiv...

Rex

Well ... its still just HRC and Sanders splitting while Trump has like 5 other guys getting some votes. That's true, but it's still a little disheartening to see the lengths Bernie supporters are going to shit on Hillary. I had to unfollow a couple of former Swampers on Twitter because literally ev...

good job guys, you convinced him to quit

Rex

Well ... its still just HRC and Sanders splitting while Trump has like 5 other guys getting some votes. But that's accounted for somewhat in the much higher turnout on the GOP side. Just looking at the open primary states from last night, I estimate about 2.5-3M more votes on the GOP side. That sai...

Rex

I find it interesting that for all of the record GOP turnout, HRC has gotten more votes than Trump in most of the open primary states, where presumably most people are walking in the door and voting for the person they would most want to see as president. (I'm assuming that most strategic voting can...

It amazes me that Cruz won 0 of Georgia's 159 counties. About 150 of them were tailor made for Cruz if you don't account for the existence of Trump. Some of these counties have like 500 voters--I could win them just by walking around with a confederate flag. And he seems to be a good campaigner, and...

Rex

Yeah, what's going on? I love Cyrillic as much as the next guy, but this is getting extreme.

Rex

Interestingly, this focus group of one, resident of a Super Tuesday state, has seen ~20 campaign ads in the last week, mostly during college basketball games. All but two were Cruz ads attacking Rubio. One of the others was a Bernie ad on BTN, the other was a Rubio ad attacking Trump and Cruz that l...

or age in the 60s?

I think basically there was a bubble, if that term works, in which people with a high F-scale score (that's a nicer term than mouthbreathers) flocked to the GOP regardless of whether they actually agreed with the GOP platform. Those in the pro-business and conservative base either ignored or misinte...

Rex

I generally agree about the cause of this (I mean there's never just one cause, but talk radio and the like herding mouthbreathers into the GOP is a clear #1 here), but I cannot agree that it is right to wish for a Trump win for any reason, be it strategic, entertainment, or whatever. (And treating ...

black is going to be the national uniform pretty soon, may as well get a head start

That other photographer, assuming he/she is still alive, got a heck of a shot of that.

I never thought "please say something bad about the KKK" would be an important presidential test in my lifetime, but here we are.

It was in Our Dumb Century.

what's with all the Brit questions this month?

Out of 10 billion tweets or so, this has been the only good take on Trump so far:

How America Made Donald Trump Unstoppable

I'm sure the article is excellent, but it's unreadable for me because of the videos and ads that keep turning on after I turn them off. Or was that done intentionally to hammer home the point?

Rex

The Warriors' bid for a playoff spot has more drama than the general election right now. There's only 2 things that can go wrong for HRC: 1) she gets indicted and 2) there is a major terrorist event on US soil this summer/fall. The latter could turn sensible people into fascists temporarily--it's ce...

I'm calling bullshit on that. They knew full well that that movie belonged in the non-fiction section from Day 1.

We all must do our part to make sure this is longer than the auto racing thread.

Did I declare the Knicks fun, on this website, like a month ago? Since then Carmelo and KP both got hurt and they went about 2-31. 3-32. And the interim coach got in trouble for liking a porn tweet and the fans have retreated back to the MSG tradition of looking for a white guy to root for. https:/...

For fuck's sake, what do we have to goddamned do?

What is this about? The Knicks signing Jimmer?

Rex

No, just less successful hedge fund managers.

Yeah the people who posted that on Twitter apparently haven't been to Rome. You can walk right into St. Peter's Square: http://l7.alamy.com/zooms/a534aa74-9433-49f6-8beb-47831915070f/E0T33W.jpg so I thought that was a pretty poorly thought out piece of Twitter snark.

I just ran some numbers, and yikes. Since 1999, Duke is 17-6 against UNC in games played outside of Cameron (road and neutral).

I feel like UNC is just a few losses away from solidifying that 1-seed.

I'm just getting caught up...how did that Wisconsin game with freakyball end up?

More remarkable is that he left himself those 5 feet with a chip shot that he usually drops within 5 inches.

I want to love the Pebble Beach tournament but it's just so damn awkward. Phil hits a big shot and then you have to wait 15 minutes for Ray Romano and some CEO to hit.

ETA: Jesus. How did Phil blow that? Ryder Cup season starting early.

Rex

Jesus. Wow. Here comes the crazy time.
