It's like you never watched a rally of his.
I agree - I still think people just blindly voting party lines is a big part of this problem. The difference is, on the Democratic side is seems unfathomable that someone who may be/appears to be a misogynist and/or racist could be nominated. However, in a hypothetical world where you find someone with equally bad traits was nominated it would not shock me in the least if they were elected President. Republicans will claim that's what we had with Hillary - I don't agree but let's assume for a minute that we found out that Hillary did something even more shady that there was concrete proof of and Democrats started distancing themselves from her. I absolutely, 100% believe that folks like Squish and Gunz would have still voted for her because she's on "their" side.
Well said and to reiterate my last post - I think if you could find something equally as sad and depressing that Hillary hypothetically did she still would have gotten 50% of the vote.timschochet said:

It's from elsewhere, in a league outside of here I have found @cstu participating in. He made a Ravens pick last night.
You're somewhat assuming that people actually understand fiscal policy. I think a lot of people here do. The economy is a ####### complex thing that even qualified people can't agree on. Why would we expect these voters to understand it. If the guy tells him he'll make it better and cares about their plight they almost have no choice but to believe him, especially when they don't see the other side even addressing them.
No. Not if he's really posting in the Shark Pool and deleting posts here. I guess not. Makes me sad as I liked the guy. But if he doesn't pay what he owes he's a loser and a jerk.
I don't think he's done either of those things - he hasn't logged in since Wednesday.
He isn't in the Shark Pool and I don't know of any validity to him erasing posts here, he is prob a ghost here, maybe he'll try to slip an alias in one day, but this legacy will live on and he'll be outed.
I agree with all of your post except for the bolded. People should have some understanding on how their decision is going to affect them. If they're not going to take the time to take a cursory glance at both candidates economic policies before voting for a candidate based on economic policy, they deserve to be called a moron. (Again, not calling all Trump supporters morons, just saying low-middle income people who voted for him for economic reasons are. Lots of other reasons to vote for him, lots of educated Trump voters, all those caveats apply).
No, that was like a game of telephone - no posts here.

Both fair points. BLM people that you are describing I don't think were super fired up to vote Hillary.jon_mx said:
at what point do we email the owner of the pool (whose email is public info, right there on the group page)? boy if i'm cstu, and that's my IRL friend, I'd sure hate to have him know i'm a POS scumbag bleeding heart liberal bet welcher.
I was thinking over the weekend when he is logging in to check on the league.
That's fair but I think you vastly overestimate how much people pay attention. I'd feel safe saying that a majority of the people voting had never heard of Stein or Johnson. They know virtually nothing but the "R" and the "D". People won't admit it but I guarantee there's people on both sides of the aisle that went in to their voting booth and had never even heard that Trump had said some of the things he did. Think about how many people watch the debates and then consider how many people voted - what was it, like 140M people? People are just uninformed and grew up a Republican or Democrat and that's how they vote. We've turned politics in to a Saturday afternoon college football game and people will sell their first-born before they "root" for the other side.
Well unless he's dead or dying he ought to have shown up by now. If he doesn't have the money that he needs to swallow his pride and tell everyone that he doesn't have it and that he was foolish to make the wagers. Something would have been worked out; most people are forgiving. But to just disappear like this is pretty cowardly, IMO.
moment in FFA. What is the appropriate emoticon for this one? 
Chances are there was something in the tax plan that appealed to them.
We know for certainty a log in happened on Wednesday, I suspect that was an accident.

If he's doing that it is just another example of how low he has sunk and pathetic he is.
