Was talking about this with some friends, but would you marry someone who was a Trump supporter?

Absolutely not, but it wouldn't be just because they support Trump. That fact that someone would be complicit in his racism and xenophobia probably means that their world view is radically different from mine. That probably wouldn't end well.

I was hoping for a debate with the narrowed field. Trump is right to not attend, but I wish he would. The more the public sees him in a serious setting, the worse his numbers will get.

Hillary will eat his lunch during a debate.

How so? All Trump has to do is call her an ugly bitch whose husband needed someone else to suck his dick, and the majority of Americans will be cheering and of the opinion that Trump won. The guy is a clown, but he isn't stupid, he knows what buttons to push to win.
 
All a presidential candidate has to do is be sexist and "the majority of Americans will be cheering." Pretty solid condemnation of our population.

Hillary can have a short fuse when debating, so I'm interested to see how she responds to someone whose main goal will be to attack her personally to try to get her blow up.

She rarely loses her cool in public- her default is to cackle when she's angry.
 
Strange, but interesting story here. Also not too surprising:

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features...to-foreign-sounding-names-cost-him-delegates/

"Illinois Republicans hold a convoluted “loophole” primary: The statewide primary winner earns 15 delegates, but the state’s other 54 delegates are elected directly on the ballot, with three at stake in each of the state’s 18 congressional districts. Each campaign files slates of relatively unknown supporters to run for delegate slots, and each would-be delegate’s presidential preference is listed beside his or her name. As a result, the top presidential candidate in each congressional district usually claims all three of the district’s delegates.

Except on Tuesday, a handful of congressional districts split their delegates in ways that cast doubt on voters’ racial motivations. Did voters have genuine personal preferences for the mostly anonymous individuals running for these slots, or was it a case of “what’s in a name?”

A FiveThirtyEight analysis of the dozen highest vote differentials within district-level Trump slates reveals a startling pattern: In all 12 cases, the highest vote-getting candidate had a common, Anglo-sounding name. But a majority of the trailing candidates had first or last names most commonly associated with Asian, Hispanic or African-American heritages. Of the 54 Trump delegate candidates in the state, two of the three worst-trailing candidates were the only two Trump candidates with Middle Eastern-sounding names."

"Of the seven Trump delegate candidates with minority or foreign-sounding names, all seven were among the dozen worst-trailing Trump candidates in the state: Sadiq, Fakroddin, Tolbert, Alonso, Uribe, Sandra Yeh and Rolando Arellano. The 47 Trump delegate candidates with Anglo-sounding names tended to garner far more votes."
