    Ulster is where our own recidivist white trash came from -- the folks who have been here for eight generations and are still as ignorant and poor and vicious as the day they were thrown off the boat. Nice to see them f-cking up at least three countries. I wonder if the Aussies have them, too -- there is a really gross segment of their population too.

    And before any proud Scots-Irish gets his panties in a bunch, Dr. Mrs. is from one of the most degenerate branches of that cursed tree, so yes, there are exceptions. Maybe 3 in 10,000, but there are.

      And the DUP has ties to the Ulster Defence Association, you know the Loyalist terrorist organization? Kind of rich considering the Tories attacked Corbyn on supposed Sinn Fein ties.

Not exactly the best way to keep the country safe.

          The UK *literally initiated and completed an entire parliamentary election* in the time in between the GA-6 primary and runoff.

          Man, sometimes I wish our founding fathers had borrowed some parliamentary ideas for our constitution.

              Oh it gets better: Sinn Fein say a Tory/DUP alliance would be a violation of the Good Friday Agreement.

              Basically, the NI Government is completely split and can't come to an agreement on how to proceed, the Tories gave them until June 26th or Westminster will intervene. Except Westminster, per the GFA, must remain completely impartial, can't do that if the DUP is part of the majority alliance. Whoops.

                Brits don't do primaries. That saves a whole bunch of time.

                We COULD do that, but that would entail returning to the smoke-filled room and the party bosses.

                      Clinton in 2008, I assume.

                        Almost certainly.

                        I mentioned I was young and dumb in 2004, even more so in '92, but I'm wondering if Clinton wouldn't have won the nomination back then either. Wasn't he a relative unknown at the time?

                        Romney may have gotten yanked in 2012 in lieu of a sacrificial lamb. Romney I think would have had a good chance in 2016. Or at least a better chance.

                          Mitt was and is never going to be POTUS. He just looks better next to Orange Droolius.

                              He was, but it was a strange year in that nobody of note really ran thinking that Bush was unbeatable coming off of the first Iraq war. So he ran against Tsongas, Gephardt, Harkin and Jerry Brown. Aside from Gephardt who was a stiff that made Dukakis look inspirational, there was really no establishment choice once Cuomo begged off for the 3rd straight time.

                                Great question. Ignoring the ripple effect of what an earlier change would do downstream (guessing who the nominees would have been if we reverted beginning with election x), here are my guesses since the big change post-1968. * - Asterisks is a change.
