Do you think there's a worry Hillary may lose then?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

I don't know if anything can top Cain, Bachman, and Perry for comedy. This is just like a cringe inducing re-make with worse actors.
Carson is better than Cain imo
Always a danger after two terms of a single President that the public go for the opposition, plus she isn't the greatest campaigner and is vulnerable on the email stuff. Unless it's Trump for the GOP, in which case I'll be able to relax.
Ubekkiekkiekiiestan? Not to mention the stuff he did with Colbert.
To think Cain was doing well in the polls at one point...
So if Trump wins SC handily, is that the nomination?
It'll be hard to stop him after that I'd think. He'd have a lot of momentum going into other Southern states.

Cain is uninformed, Carson is a loon
I though Sanders was unelectable due to him using the S word but if either of the main loons end up opposing him he may just win if he defeats Hillary.
it is weird when you look at the match ups
Rubio can probably win against either Hillary or Bernie I think - but he cant win against trump / Cruz
I have a feeling it will end up as Trump vs Cinton - and I honestly am scared at this because a give trump a shot at winning that match up
Just a thought, if someone drops out what happens to any delegates they may have won?
Nice one, Another layer upon the layers already there
That was Perry
Yep, you're right. Just watched it again, and it really was brilliant.
Easily, the most humiliating performance I have ever seen in a debate:
Geez, it is a shame that I didn't watch the last GOP primaries as much as this time. This is absolutely magnificent:
Perry was in half of those 10 moments.

This is about as biased a post as it gets
Hildog is a disaster and Sanders will never in a million years get free healthcare and college
That's never going to happen. A bunch of lies as far as I'm concerned.
It isn't a bunch of lies at all. Obviously, he won't be able to do those things, especially if the Republicans control the senate/house. It is clear that Republicans are in payroll of big enterprises and so their primary concern is to please them ('drill oil everywhere' by Santorum, 'a guy in garage will fix the global warming problem' by Bush, or 'global warming is a hoax' by Rubio, Trump and Cruz), so they will fight Sanders even more than they did Obama.
However, Sanders is probably the most consistent politician in US. His views in economical system and the power of Wall Street, non-flat taxing, abortion, second amendment, immigration, global warming etc have been the same for the last 2-3 decades. It is clear that he will at least fight as much as he can for those policies, but of course, he won't be able to enforce most/all of them, similarly how Obama couldn't. Not for the lack of trying though, so definitely not a bunch of lies.
Of course, it is unlikely that he'll win the nomination, but Clinton will be forced to go toward the left wing to appeal Sanders fans, which is why people are saying that Sanders has already won regardless of what happens in the primaries.
Bunch of lies? You think he has no intention of trying to push these things through? Or do you think that he won't be able to get them through because they will be blocked?
It's not lies if those are his actual intentions, whether they are highly unlikely or not.
There is no questioning his intentions. Of course if by some miracle he were to win the nomination and the GE, the problem would be, implementation.
I don't think he would be able to implement 10% of his stated manifesto.
But a 'bunch of lies' - clearly not.
One thing is for sure, we are definitely going to see a narrowing of the field from now until after Super Tuesday in a couple weeks. Carson, Kasich, and possibly Jeb could be out if they don't see any encouraging results in SC or up to early March.
I never said he would, just said that is what he is saying he will do (or try to do/wants to do) if elected.
He has said everything I posted, and he also did lose the Iowa caucus by a ridiculously low margin and he did win in New Hampshire. He is gaining in a lot of polls, and gaining a lot of votes from young voters. So how exactly is it lies?
The trouble with Bernie getting elected would be gridlock like we've never seen it, in which case what's the point of electing Bernie. Policies like Medicare for all, free public Uni, and taxing the Jesus out of Wall Street would be dead on arrival since the Congress would be overwhelmingly Repblican and even centrist Democrats wouldn't support it.
Yup, it's cynical and depressing, but also reality. He would be a one term disaster and a Sanders presidency would make the Obama years look like bipartisan bliss.
It would be difficult to not support a president from the same party, especially if the president wins the election by promising very large reforms. Those senators/members of house have to worry for their re-election too, and if Bernie popularity continues increasing, not supporting him might be a political suicide.
Of course, this doesn't go for Republicans. They will block him even more than they did with Obama. It is imperative for Bernie, that Democrats gain control of the senate, and hopefully lower the difference in house.
Obama years weren't bad at all. He started many reforms, in addition to fixing the economy after that lunatic started wars as hobbies.
I meant the politics within Congress and Washington.
Republicans fought Obama on just about anything and everything. Tea Party got people elected, who basically said, their only goal was to disrupt things.
People like Cruz - offered nothing.
Someone as 'radical' as Sanders would face 10 times worse and the partisan politics would go to another level.
Nope
Would it help at all for the country in general if there were more than 2 parties? Overall through history over here, parties have come and gone regularly and existed alongside the historically established parties. Is there any reason why America is so resolutely two parties?
Not particularly, as any attempt to form a viable third party would result in be of the two existing parties broadening its policies to take in the third party people .
With one definite and maybe one more SCOTUS pick up for grabs you can be sure the repubs will pull out all the tricks to steal this election if they can't win it.
Like the Tea Party? I think there's still voices that are present in other democracies that are glaringly missing in the US. For example, a Green Party. I couldn't ever see the likes of that being absorbed by the current two.
Fortunately, they won't have Scalia this time to be able to do that.
There is a Green Party, and many other small parties in US. Just that they don't get many votes, and in addition, 'winner takes all' system of election makes impossible for those parties to get presented.
Saying that, in 1992, there was a third party candidate who won 19% of the total popular votes, and probably cost Bush senior the election. Unfortunately, there was an arsehole in 2000 who despite not getting near as many votes, cost Al Gore the Florida delegates, and so made Bush president.
Ha, I've only just seen that Trump bought Jeb Bush's domain and now his homepage redirects to Trumps. Only 2 months late.
Did Jeb! always intend using his stupider brother to campaign for him? I thought that he was desperately trying to pull away from the Bush legacy hence his refusal to use 'Bush' in his campaign materials.
The poor fool is really scrambling.

Trump gear, get it for the Republican you love.
