Well, their views fall well within what I understand US allies dislike. I mean, you have the extreme right wing views, the gun loving, climate change science denial, poor people are dumb assholes who make poor life decisions and if anything deserve more hardships than they already have.... They don't sound like they would be too popular anywhere. That said, I am not saying they are making the country look bad right now, I am saying they would if any of their candidates became president.

I think Cruz gets criticized too, just not as much as Trump. I think it's because of him being too religious and bringing that with his presidency, but I'm not sure how many non-Americans think about involvin religions with politics. I know some are astounded at how backwards America is when it comes to religion and stuff.
As it stands, Trump and the chances of him actually becoming a president is what's making America look pretty bad. And I think England has its fair share of what would be right wingers or extreme right wingers.
Right wing should be called the wrong wing, cuz that's what they are. Wrong.
That's a bit stupid dude. Right wing can mean different things in different countries and have different connotations as well. I do know that other countries look at the two "sides" we have don't even see that much difference. Especially if you look at the current century and our influence in the world. Obama didn't really change that much about us compared to GWB.
Requiring specific kinds of IDs, saying this or that ID doesn't work, etc etc. You can always Google "how states are making it harder for people to vote."
I disagree with implying its harder to vote. Again, states run commercials primetime, send mail, and more for people to know the proper things to vote. And in states with closed primaries, and since you need to actually register, theres really no excuse for someone showing up to the poll not knowing what they need to vote. If you cant find the information you need then you ought not be voting.

I doubt the average American is really going to take off work to go vote for a candidate they dont like just to keep another candidate from winning.
The issue is not people not knowing what they need to vote. The issue, at least as far as I have read, is that some people for whatever reason simply can't fulfill those requirements even though they are US citizens with every right to vote. Of course, it is obviously the people to whom you usually refer to as having made bad life decisions.

I'm talking about right wings in this country though, the ones who assume everyone who isn't successful is lazy and made bad life decisions, and the right wings who are against giving people rights and freedom like the right to get an abortion or seek care at Planned Parenthood.
Obama seems to have, actually. Among a lot of non-Americans I know, it's the Americans who get criticized for criticizing Obama, or at least Affordable Care Act.

There is proof that many states make it harder to vote, especially to prevent democrats from winning. Research it, but then again republicans' enemy is people who fact check instead of believing everythin politicians say. There's no implying, it seems to be a fact that many states are making it harder to vote, like requiring certain forms of ID or something else.
How is requiring a document making it hard? You just have to get a document and bring it? Its not hard to get a document well in advance of election. If you think its hard then youre just lazy and really shouldnt be voting. If someone is going to sit at home and complain its hard to vote in March and the election is in November...then they have PLENTY of time to get the document. People that make bad life decisions are just so lazy and want so many things handed to them. Unbelievable.

Terrible week for Sanders, he lost every race this week. Looks bound to lose next weeks as well. Clintons insurmountable lead is only going to grow larger.
Why do people bring up super delegates when she is winning, she wont even need them at the rate this is going. Will super delegates in states she won go rogue?

Yeah but you're disregarding what right wing means in other contexts honestly. And while I might be mostly liberal-minded, I wouldn't make such generalizations.
I'm not talking about perception dude, I'm talking about actual influence. We're still engaged militarily all over the world. We're still killing our own citizens via drone strikes with no due process. The Patriot Act expired, but we have The Freedom Act instead. Not much has changed policy-wise abroad.

she has 1139 pledged delgates and he has 825. She has 467 superdelegates and he has 26. She has a total of 1606 to his 851. Somehow all her super delegates would have to, for some strange reason, go rouge and go to him. I dont see that happening unless by some twist of faith she gets crushed in the remaining states. Not possible.

You don't seem to be reading anything I say, or looking it up. But I guess that's how republican states excuse making it harder for people to vote. You don't know what bad life decisions or laziness is, so it would be wise if you would not mention those words again. It seems that anythin you don't agree with, understand, or like is either lazy or bad life decision. this mindset is exactly why the US is not doing so well.
Wanting the wealthy to get things handed to them is no better, especially when they don't need anything handed to them. Weird logic is weird, but you seem to support criminals who are wealthy or have jobs that you think are good.
Ah, poor Bernie. If only he had the media in his pocket or a dynasty or celebrity status. At least we know his supporters are genuine and well informed.

Superdelegates aren't "in states"...they have nothing to do with what state they're from. They're literally free to vote for whoever they want.
But its not hard to get an ID and in virginia they ran ads all the time way before the election about getting an id or bring an other aceptable document. People are just lazy if they cant get these documents weeks to months before an election.

Who do you think paid for those ads? What are the chances that it was Republicans? I'd say it's zero.
Historically, republicans fair better when minorities don't vote. Not really a shocker when they continuously bring up the non-issue of voter fraud and gerrymander aggressively to minimize the impact of said vote. It's in their best interests.
Because republican states make it harder to vote so a republican is more likely to win. If the voter turnout was higher, then democrats would win. But I think I mentioned republicans first, and not Hillary and Bernie.

The same thing sort of applies with the notion of the establishment vs someone who had no establishment backing. The laws might not necessarily be set up to benefit any particular candidate on the Democratic side, but it seems Sanders was getting statistics that suggested he was doing the best in states where the voter turnout was higher. I can't really verify that myself, so not sure if his campaign was putting some sort of spin on it.
