Most people vote for who they like the most, not who they think has the best prescriptions to solve problems. Here's a story, just happened: I have an employee to whom I just gave a raise to. However she owes the IRS 1000.00 because she had me withold too little tax . She also had her wonderful Obamacare insurance double in cost. So she's rightfully upset that her raise is going to get eaten up by these expenses.
Do you think this would turn her into a Trump supporter? No. Loves Bernie and STILL likes Obama. Why? Because she's supporting emotionally, not logically. Plus she's Eastern European which makes it even worse. I said all this to her and she even agreed with me. But she hates Trump so she won't support him despite agreeing that some of his policies make sense. Cognitive dissonance like this is going to destroy this country once and for all. This is what we're up against.
If she's really that emotional and blind to logic, you really shouldn't be giving her raises. Just make her feel good and be likable, treat her well etc.
Then pocket the cash.
No, she deserved the raise, her work is very good and she works her ass off for me without complaining. My point was that even people who are normally fine get caught up emotionally in who they support rather than basing their choices in reason and logic. That's the underlying problem with our system of voting and a big reason why civilizations eventually fall.
I disagree with your (too) gentleman-like stance. A leftist boss would never give you a pay raise if he knew that you are pro-Trump, yet, here you are, raising pay for a woman who hurts society with her Bernie vote. I think you should instead raise the pay of some other efficient (and pro-Trump) employee...
Myself, I might be, in your position, very tempted to... fire this leftist' ass: I have seen so many conservative men fired from their jobs by SJW employers, that I personally think that we should now retaliate: no mercy for SJWish and ultra-feminist employees.
So, you are a gentleman indeed, but, given that we are at war with ultra-socialists (think Bernie) and SJWs, I sadly cannot congratulate you.

Quote:Trump, Kasich box out Cruz in Michigan delegation
The Texas senator's campaign ran eight delegates for eight committee spots and lost every one, alleging it was "double-crossed" by Kasich supporters.
The Michigan delegation picked one Trump supporter, Matt Hall, and one Kasich supporter, Judi Schwalbach, for the two seats on the powerful rules committee. The Cruz campaign lost votes for both seats.
The rules committee seats have become highly coveted prizes for their role in shaping a contested convention in Cleveland. After the delegates are selected in each state, they meet as a group and pick the members of four convention committees, the most important of which is the rules committee, which will ultimately decide who can be nominated president.
Michigan Cruz leader Saul Anuzis said they were "double-crossed" by Kasich's campaign. The Kasich delegates were supposed to vote with Cruz delegates, he said, but switched sides and voted with Trump behind closed doors Saturday afternoon.
Kasich's delegate director in Michigan, Jeff Timmer, said the Cruz campaign broke their end of the deal when they tried to win all eight delegation seats.
He said they finished their slate of Trump and Kasich candidates about 10 minutes before walking into the delegation meeting.
"The Cruz campaign tried a takeover and they failed miserably," Timmer said. "It backfired and they ended up with nothing. There's been all these reports about how they're out-organizing everybody. Not here."
Trump's national delegate director, Brian Jack, called it a "big win" for Trump.
"The most important votes occurred this afternoon -- we went 5-0. Five delegates for Mr. Trump ran for committee assignments; all five were elected," Jack said.
He added, "This was a big win for Team Trump. We won 25 delegates from Michigan last month, and now, at least 25 supporters of Mr. Trump will be delegates to the Republican National Convention."
Much of the focus in the delegate battle has been on the sheer numbers of delegates themselves, with Cruz outgunning Trump in states like Louisiana and Colorado. But the delegations themselves -- usually an afterthought -- have become battlegrounds on the path to an expected convention fight in Cleveland.
Trump and Cruz had formed an alliance behind the scenes to deny Kasich the seats needed to get himself even nominated in Cleveland, but the skirmish in Michigan marked an apparent shift in alliances.
"Do they have a bigger deal? I don't know what they're trying to do," Anuzis said. "I think they won a short-term victory here on committee assignments. We were approached by several of their delegates who were very upset with how it was done in the process and I think that will help us long term on the floor."
Of Michigan's 59 delegates selected Friday and Saturday, Trump supporters filled 25 spots, Cruz supporters filled 17 and Kasich supporters took another 17 -- although it was unclear who all the delegates were permanently aligned with.
But as the votes were taken behind closed doors, they appeared to break mostly along campaign-allegiance lines. Trump supporter Mary Balkema won her contest, with Cruz state chairwoman Wendy Day took a seat on the credentials committee. And Kasich supporter Chuck Yob -- the father of Republican operative John Yob -- beat Cruz supporter Rep. Justin Amash for the other spot on the credentials committee.
Each Cruz candidate managed to swing a few more votes above the 17 delegates awarded to him in Michigan, but nowhere close enough to win any seats.
The victory for Yob could put him in place to oversee a challenge to his son John Yob's bid to be a delegate from the Virgin Islands.
Elsewhere on Saturday, Democrats are caucusing in Wyoming, while Republicans in Colorado are choosing delegates for the party's convention in July.

You don't fire people for being leftist and not every liberal is an SJW. Taking a person's livelihood to get back at the "liberals" or "SJW" establishment is not a very red pill way to live life, let alone masculine at all. At some levels, this liberal versus conservative drama is akin to the forum's infamous "alpha versus beta" conundrum. I have said this before, but "thinking too much about alpha versus beta is beta" just the same as thinking so much into "liberalism versus conservatism" is also beta.

It's as simple as that. Real world experience is the only thing that can change that. Not this thread. Not the forum. Not watching FOX or Breitbart. The REAL world. Period.
In the past, I worked with liberals that were amazing performers. Hanging out with them was tough, but they did some amazing work. I also worked with conservative people that were lazy and felt "entitled." I currently work in a sales environment, which you would think is very conservative and Republican. It is absolutely not. You don't know how many women I end up disagreeing with and explain why Hillary sucks. These are the same women that get back and bring in tons of revenue. And you know what? I don't give a rat's ass if they vote for Bernie or Hillary. As long as they are bringing in money by working hard, THEY have MY vote.
Have you hired and worked with people? Supervising and taking care of your employees is a difficult task. Just like in life, friendships and family relationships, it's best to NOT bring politics in when critical decisions are on the line, like promotions and raises. I understand this election is important but let's not forget who we are and how to treat people right.

But, according to 538 (which has been absolutely wrong on this election since the start), Trump only gets 1182.
Been trying to see if I could make some $$$ off whether or not Trump takes it with 1237 before the convention, and here's what I have:
http://53eig.ht/1237#CO:7,WY:1,NY:80,CT:...J:51,NM:10
I assume Trump is going to dominate the North East. Basically Trump gets 1202 handedly but the last 3 states that will make or break the nomination process are Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska, which are all winner-take-all states. It appears Trump must win in at least one of them, two to be safe.
Anyone have intel on these states? Are they cucked for Cruz or will at least one go for Trump? North Dakota went to Cruz, so the South probably will too. Nebraska isn't far away from SD either, so it looks like Cruz wins here too. The big question mark is then Montana, which borders Idaho and Nevada, both Trump states. Montana will determine the fate of America.
So far this race, Trump has done very well in forested areas with low population. Those were the counties Trump won in Wiscucksin, and Montana has a lot of forested areas. I also hear Montana may be home to many White Supremacist Survivalist types as well, so I think things are looking good for Trump's nomination. With Montana under Trump's belt, he will have 1229 delegates on June 7th, and I'm sure he can convince just 8 delegates to hop on board the train.

And what marks each of those dark episodes is a failure to fathom where a leader鈥檚 vision leads, to carry rhetoric to its logical conclusion. The satirical front page of this section attempts to do just that, to envision what America looks like with Trump in the White House.
