Kaplan sucks. I can't wait to see him try and get more clicks as this story does away during the game today. Everyone adding their two cents is great. There's been like 5 players all time that have had their kids around every day and now it's the norm.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) So his base is in line with people who voted in 2012? I imagine that's everyone's base because that's the American voting base. 53% of voters didn't graduate college. 41% in 2012 made less than 50k which is actually more than the Newsweek poll I read, which had 33% of Trump voters making less than 50k. Most of these national polls right now are pretty ridiculously inaccurate and outdated though so I won't even use that. I'd look at state by state exit polling if you want to try and tell a story here. The polls I read were weeks ago and it's ok if that's your base, you just cannot accept it. Trump is making huge waves based on his base being angry and not really caring about how things are actually going to get done. It's worked in politics before.

God dammit. Needed that win.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 06:03 PM) Maybe both are true? Some players were on LaRoche side; some want the kid gone Nobody is going to come out and say they were part of the complaining to management. The point is if a few don't like it then he should tone it down. Sign the kid up for little league and let him make some friends.

The timing on this is amazing btw. March madness starts tomorrow in full and this will be forgotten.

Did people actually expect players to come out and say they were one of the ones to complain? Come on.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 05:28 PM) When I first heard it, I assumed the kid was a toddler or someone not in school. That's pretty strange for a 14 year old. Doesn't that kid have other things to do? It's super weird. It's sure looks like other teams were jumping at the opportunity to acquire him.....

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 4m4 minutes ago Chicago, IL More KW: ".. If this is allowed at this level right now, how do I tell the next guy that he can’t and then the next one after that?.. Merkin is right. Now every player has a locker for their kids and it's a f***ing daycare.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 01:35 PM) To his credit, I understand completely. He's said for a while now how having his son travel with him is so special. Your kid sit with you at work all day?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) You're using exit polling from one state that happened a month ago. Let's throw in the actual demographics to actually address what I said. Trump does great with the "uneducated". He does well with everyone else as well though, He won with college graduates in Illinois, Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Massachusetts, Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, and Vermont. He's won with post graduates in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts(if were playing this game, that's the smartest people in the smartest state in the country), Mississippi, New Hampshire, Nevada, and Tennessee. Exit polling isn't available everywhere, but where it is he's winning. He's winning across every demographic pretty much everywhere, which is why the attempts to stereotype his supporters as one thing come off as hilariously bitter. Over half of his supporters havent finished college and make less than 50k per year. He may have "other supporters" but thats his majority like it or not.

Last night he almost slipped up and started talking about trickle down economics, he had to stop himself and say "Make America Great Again."

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 11:00 AM) Trumps tax plan has massive cuts for the wealthy and shafts the rest of us. He has also said Americans are paid too much. Real man of the people. I'm sure people will see the exciting growth of the economy when everyone puts Tariffs on trades going back and forth. Maybe he'll "negotiate" it so well that economics wont apply.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 10:57 AM) Your very first line is going in the wrong direction. While it isn't "ALL", the Trump camp has attracted BY FAR the largest numbers of these types of supporters. In a study of exit polls they found, -A third supported banning gays and lesbians from entering the country. -a third of Trump’s backers believe that Japanese internment during World War II was a good idea. -When asked voters if they thought whites were a superior race, only 69 percent disagreed. -70% wish the Confederate battle flag were still flying on their statehouse grounds -38 percent of them wish the South had won the Civil War -Nearly 20 percent of Trump’s voters disagreed with Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation -Voters were asked if they favored temporarily barring Muslims who are not citizens from entering the United States, something Mr. Trump advocates, and 74 percent said they did. He won 41 percent of that group. These numbers BLOW AWAY anyone else in the races. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/25/upshot/m...-share&_r=1 There is data supporting that a large number of trump supporters if not the majority are lower income, uneducated, white males. Its not like people are pulling that out of thing air. Also trump has self financed about half of his campaign to this point and most likely that spread will start to get much wider as he becomes the nominee.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 07:09 AM) Something doesn't feel right with her. She has almost no experience and she came from county government. Not sure there is much difference or even any improvement. Every facet of Illinois government is broken and she just seems like a cog that will pander to the vocal liberals. The city is in bad shape from a criminal standpoint and her message did not appear to be looking to solve anything. She's a Preckwinkle puppet, but Alvarez needed to go.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 07:21 AM) Why do people continue to respond to Greg? This is one of life's great mysteries to me. Because it's fun to see smoke coming out of his ears as he prepares his statement

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 12:19 AM) Well, after tonight, Hillary's about wrapped it up. The nomination is hers. Congrats to her. I never thought I'd see the day two Clintons were presidents. Please please remember Greg's prediction about Chelsea in nine years. She's actually gonna be in her late 40s when mom is done with the oval office. Hillary's gonna get 8 years to put her stamp on the USA. Let's hope it's not the demise of the USA. And the difficult part for her was beating out Bernie. She's going to win almost every state against Trump. I mean, cmon, this was all a weird sideshow. I bet even Trump is happy he's assured Hillary the presidency. In the past he wasn't exactly a Hillary hater. To those of you who wanted Hillary, I'd feel better if you'd give me some reasons our country isn't going to fall apart in the next eight years, actually the next 16 with Hillary followed by Chelsea. When exactly has the country "fallen apart" during your lifetime?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 12:54 AM) You seriously think Chelsea Clinton can win a nomination for president in 8 years? She hasn't even held political office yet and I wouldn't say she has a ton of political experience. But he referred to himself in third person. That's serious business

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 09:39 PM) Man that was easy money though. The two bets I made with this guy were a parlay of Bush being out before Florida and Hillary vs the field

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 08:44 PM) Trump vs Hilary? Yeah I'm going to stay home. It's lining up that way. Which is why I have a nice bet going for months now where I took Hillary vs the field.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) In the past few years I was certain that Rubio was gonna be the Republican Obama, a younger minority candidate that's slowly brought up the ranks and all but handed the nomination on a silver platter. I don't know how he f***ed it up but he did. After the Dems win this year, I wonder if he can re-establish himself in 2020. He's more of a puppet than Obama. Say what you want about Obama, he is a great public speaker and can think on his feet. Rubio wasn't ready.

I mean he's just the worst speaker ever.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 07:55 PM) Kasich gets Ohio only state he will win. Great economic plan, horrible public speaker.

So many people are going to be forced to vote for Hillary just to oppose the disaster that is Trump. It's akin to Howard stern haters actually giving him the ratings.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 07:41 PM) cqnt wait for first returns from states attorney. I hope Foxx has this. She's winning
