Septic is a hardcore white guilt lib. His intention was to try and portray that people claim that only those that draw on social programs are minorities, which of course is false, worthless white people are brought up as well. He just tried highlighting that it's never brought up that white people can also be worthless, which is false. I'll say it again so you can hopefully understand. He TRIED to say peole only point at minorities for being worthless which is false. He fabricated a lie to make conservatives look bad (par for the course). I pointed him in the right direction.

You're about 10 steps behind, where you usually are, but at least try to keep up. You're still realizing he tried to make up a point.

I think you've failed (or just intentionally ignored) the rhetoric that's often spewed around here and on social media.

There is--beyond a shadow of a doubt--a very prominent talking point that poor minorities, specifically African-Americans, are all but predisposed to be impoverished and taking advantage of government welfare programs. To even act as though it isn't implied, inferred, and sometimes blatantly stated through all these mediums we use every day, is merely passive ignorance.

I'm hardly ten steps behind, dude. Pretty sure I interact with a more diverse socioeconomic sample size than you do on a daily basis. I do it all over the country, and I deal with all sorts of backgrounds. When you do that, you begin to notice patterns in people.

If Kasich and Rubio can win their home states then this race is going all the way to a brokered convention guys.

It is essential. Ohio and Florida are must wins for the GOP establishment. If Trump just splits those, it's not looking good.

I cannot decide if Lil' Marco lost some his appeal with voters because he wrassled with Trump for a little too long or because he was embraced by the inside the beltway types that initially went for Jeb!.

I think the debate where he froze when Christi attacked him cost him dearly. He has been on the downhill spiral since then.

I don't think most people will support a candidate that get rattled so easy. He showed the world he was not ready for the job that night.

Good Op-Ed on the "sexist" election and Bernie being allegedly misogynistic.

Is Sanders' 'Excuse me, I'm talking' line sexist? - CNN.com

Is Bernie Sanders sexist?

That's the question coming out of Sunday night's Democratic debate between Sanders and Hillary Clinton, during which the Vermont senator interrupted Clinton's interruption of him by waving his finger and saying, "Excuse me, I'm talking."

That kind of statement happened more than once -- there was also a "let me finish" -- prompting media and Clinton supporter outcries that Sanders was being dismissive and disrespectful, trying to put Clinton in her place like the sexist old white man he is.

Doesn't surprise me that CNN would create a story based on the narrative of one of Hillarys feminazi's.

I'm surprised it was an Op-Ed and not Wolf Blitzer "breaking" the news in the "situation room".

Actually, I was surprised the article was as unbiased as it was and placed the blame on the media creating drama.

Just get ready for more. If Hillary gets the nomination (which is way down from my earlier predictions) expect the "war on women" to come back in full force as Hillary will be quite the victim.

I have never saw Trump nor any other candidate rattled as bad as Rubio was. Rubio was acting like a kindergarten kid being scolded. It was pathetic. If you recall I and others said basically the same thing the night of the debate. Christi flat out owned him.

It's music to my ears. The gravy train of great trade deals and free military are coming to an end.

The free military part is odd for someone who I'm pretty sure supports American imperialism.

lol and you think there's a gravy train of trade deals? I'll never understand why some people oppose free trade.

And yet he did bounce back (contrary to your thoughts on the matter) and managed to land some pretty big endorsements and gained in more than a few polls.

It wasn't until he went personal on Trump that he started a decline.

Endorsements this cycle are about useless. I heard a tape this morning of Romney endorsing him. Do you think that will help?

I see. Are the unicorns and faries pretty in your version of reality?

Please spare me your parties claim of the high road of truly caring about both poor whites and minorities.

Only an idiot would believe Sanders is anything but for an improvement of the lives of the poor. How he gets there is troubling - but trying to cast him as racist bigot is astonishing given his record of support for the poor.

Sanders doesn't give two rats asses about the poor of any color. All he and Dem leadership care about is controlling their votes and that means keeping them dependent. Yes he and Hillary are both racist since they both think African Americans need them to be successful.

Talk about believing in unicorns.

In reality, the bold can be said about both parties.

The Repubs leadership is making it clear now they do not want a nominee they cannot control with the bashing they are doing on Trump.

Power is the only thing that matters to the Democrat or Republican leaderships.

You can say they are useless and I would agree. However, if he was "in a downward spiral" in the polls as you stated, you think the endorsements would have still come in?

Yes, the establishment pushed endorsing him. The Republican Establishment will do anything it can to keep Trump from winning the nomination. They realize they cannot control him. They are in the process of destroying Rubio's political future simply because of their hate of Trump.

This is a very different primary season than we have ever had. I have neve saw a party try to destroy the person headed to their nomination before.
