  1. They'll bring him in for testing and practice with the team, working with the goalie coach, and maybe they'll give him a game near the end of the season.
  2. The Sanders campaign got a judge in Ohio to rule that 17 year olds who will be 18 by the general election in November be allowed to vote in Tuesday's primary. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted bashed the ruling in a statement released after the decision. “This last minute legislating from the bench on election law has to stop. Our system cannot give one county court the power to change 30 years of election law for the entire state of Ohio, 23 days into early voting and only four days before an election," he said. "We will appeal this decision because if there is a close election on Tuesday we need clarity from the Supreme Court to make sure that ineligible voters don't determine the outcome of an election." http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/272740-ohio-judge-rules-some-17-year-olds-can-vote-in-primary
  3. What objective source did you get that information from? Young children that accidentally shoot their siblings, friends, or parents don't care either, because they're too young to understand.
  4. Any crowd there? Dumb idea to have it at a neutral site instead of at the higher seed's city.
  5. Not total eradication, just those guns whose primary or only purpose is to shoot people. Law abiding gun owners are law abiding until they're not, and then it's too late. And I don't fear the military and police.
  6. Not limit to, but regulate what exists. There are regulations regarding what can be shown or said on tv and radio, as well as getting licensing to own and broadcast from stations. I can't build a huge antenna or cell tower in my backyard unregulated. I'm just saying the same rules should apply to modern weapons. It's not an absolute right, as some believe. The families of gun victims would disagree.
  7. People should have unregulated access to all the single shot pistols and muskets available in the 18th century that they want. Any guns developed after the Constitution was enacted should be open to any regulations we decide on.
  8. What do you teach at RIT? My son is in the New Media Design program.
  9. She said she's not a natural politician like Bill or President Obama. She's better at doing the job than making the sale.
  10. So which side do you take; let him be the nominee if he has the most delegates but not enough, or deny him the nomination regardless? BTW, yesterday on CNN Trump said, "I think Islam hates us". I recall at the beginning of the campaign some people complained there weren't enough. At this point the moderators are just repeating old questions.
  11. Trump would be labelled a traitor by his supporters if he abandons his extremist views that attracted them in the first place. Clinton supporters know she is a moderate with a realistic progressive agenda that has similar goals as Sanders but not his extreme remedies that would never get past Congress.
  12. Thankfully Hillary hasn't adopted Bernie's favorable feelings towards Castro and Ortega, which he wouldn't refute last night.
  13. There's a difference between supporting something in theory and actually voting for it. The auto bailout was part of the overall bailout to keep the banks from collapsing. So Bernie voted against the actual bill that provided loans to the auto industry. That's a fact. Bernie threw the baby out with the bathwater. Which party supported the auto industry will be more of a factor in the general election.
  14. If you look at just delegates won (not superdelegates), Clinton currently leads Sanders by 205 delegates. If the Democrats had changed all the states to winner-take-all, Clinton would lead Sanders by 459 delegates. And it could be even more if all the states had primaries, not caucuses, and only allowed Democrats to vote in the Democrat primaries. So in this election the rules have helped Sanders.
  15. He has started to act like those he used to think were bad by killing people just because they might be a threat, even though they haven't directly attacked. Would he now fail his own questions of "How many people have you killed, and why?".
  16. ...after a very close race in Michigan and a huuge! loss in Mississippi last night fell behind by a net 30 more delegates to Hillary, Hillary, Hillary.
  17. The problem isn't the two party system, it's the gerrymandering of congressional districts which has led to less moderate representatives than those in the past who had to appeal to the moderate middle, which has resulted in an unwillingness to compromise to get results that benefit the majority. 3rd and 4th parties would only further draw us away from the moderate middle we need to get back to.
  18. Clinton talked about it in last night's debate, as she has previously. It just doesn't get the press coverage like the size of Trump's hands.
  19. Future considerations means they gave him away for nothing, but maybe the Amerks will return the favor if the Crunch ever need help and the Amerks want to move a player. He has been a healthy scratch the past two games, becoming expendable with the switch of Daniel Walcott from forward back to defense. The Crunch also has defenseman Charlie Dodero in reserve in the ECHL. "No one likes to get scratched. It's just one of those things, part of the business,'' Mormina said. "As far as seeing the writing on the wall (for the trade), I'm not really a mind reader, so I try not to look too deeply into things.'' The move to Rochester keeps Mormina close to his wife and young children in Syracuse. "Joey has been a great teammate and an important member of the Crunch the past three seasons. At this time, he was at a crossroads career-wise and Rochester presented him with a better playing opportunity going forward without having to relocate his family,'' said Tampa Bay assistant general manager Julien BriseBois. "I felt the right thing to do was to allow Joey to take advantage of that opportunity. I wish to personally thank him for his services to the Crunch since the fall of 2013 and best of luck moving forward.'' http://www.syracuse.com/crunch/index.ssf/2016/03/syracuse_crunch_sends_veteran_defenseman_to_rochester_amerks.html#incart_river_mobile_index
  20. To say Sanders is in a conspiracy to make Hillary look good is really out there. And how do you know what their "private personas" are? How did you get access, or is that based on in-depth reporting from Hannity and O'Reilly?
  21. The difference being that Clinton and Sanders are not making personal attacks and saying each other are unqualified to be President. They are debating the issues and saying that they are more qualified to be President than the other, and that they also have great respect for each other. In other words, they're acting presidential.
  22. I agree, the teams haven't given the press much to be positive about, especially the Bills. They shouldn't be cheerleaders. I am tired of Harrington still being snarky about the Sabres tanking last year. He thinks they should have made quick changes to make the team competitive instead of tanking to get Eichel, and he won't let it go. But that's what teams like the Bills do to perpetually be mediocre. The fans bought into the tank, so give it a rest.
  23. I love the hypocrisy of Republicans at the debate. They savage each other with personal attacks and say the others are not qualified to be president, but then at the end they all say they'll support whoever is the Republican candidate. It undermines their arguments.
