I've seen this gif a ton without context. Did Trump say something extra-Trumpy to make him react like that or did Christie finally realize a very important life lesson?

The "sad" thing about Christie is either he's for Trump either as a gently caress You to the GOP for how they treated him after Sandy or he hopes to get a place in Trump's cabinet. If it's the former, he's hosed to everyone in the party and can never really expect any place in it again. If it's the latter then the truth is, if Trump's wins he's never going to even acknowledge Christie again. Trump is using him big time and it's kind of obvious and sad because he has no want or need for Christie once he's elected.

It's pure PUA 101.

Here's my analysis of Super Tuesday. I'm not one to indulge in comfortable delusions, so the analysis isn't pretty.

As far as I see it, there are two key points from last night.

The first is that Trump is probably going to be the nominee. Sorry. I hate it too, but that's by far the most likely outcome now. And if it ends up coming to fruition, I feel I should answer the question hundreds of you have asked me over the last few weeks: will I support Trump against Hillary?

The answer is no. I feel it should be obvious that the answer is no, considering I've accurately described Trump as a degenerate narcissist, a liar, a progressive big government Planned Parenthood lover, a tyrant, etc. How in the world could I possibly VOTE for a guy when I see him for the megalomaniac psycho that he is? Obviously I cannot.

But this is not so obvious because many people, including the other candidates, have criticized him in (almost) as harsh terms but have nonetheless pledged to support him when he wins the nomination. I find that absurd, hypocritical, and idiotic. I explain why here.

The second point is that Trump can only be stopped through two means: a consolidated field or a brokered convention. One requires everyone but one anti-Trump to leave the race, the other requires everyone to stay in.

Personally I'll take either option. I'll support whatever means necessary to stop Trump, no matter the cost. But in this piece we'll talk about which is the most likely path:

I highly recommend reading his article because there are an endless well of tears

I've never seen Milo discussed outside of this thread before but this morning a guy I went to high school with posted some Milo quotes on Facebook, saying how the left lies constantly about sexism, racism, and rape.

Woof.

Milo's on a fairly meteoric rise through right wing punditry channels because while the walshes and shapiros of the world are true believers, Milo is completely willing to say anything to anyone, and backstab anything on his mad dash towards being taken seriously. He's got a combination of Trumpian pandering and Cruzian sleaze that's working very well in the current election cycle.

So you have candidates A, B, and C and A winning. The idea that if candidate B drops out, all of his voters go to C and C then wins is such a GOP pipe dream. The reality is that they would probably end up splitting in some ratio that still allows A to win with some just not voting at all. If Cruz the slimy, amoral theocrat drops 100% of his supporters aren't going to flock to Rubio the establishment empty suit boy-man and vice versa. It's sad how these guys are desperately trying to pretend they have any agency in Trump winning or losing.

It's sad how these guys are desperately trying to pretend they have any agency in Trump winning or losing.

In last night's coverage on MSNBC, they showed the favorable/unfavorable numbers. If Cruz doesn't win the nomination, like 2/3-3/4 of his supporters would be OK with Rubio, but only like half of Rubio's supporters would be OK with Cruz. Only something like 1/5 of both Cruz and Rubio supporters would be OK with Trump as the nominee.

If Cruz drops, Rubio could plausibly challenge Trump at the convention, but not the other way around.

If Rubio drops, the chance of challenging Trump at the convention drops hugely, but Cruz won't drop... and I don't think Rubio will willingly drop either.

All Hail Chaos Candidate!

the only hope would be a unity ticket, but in order for that to have any legs in the general, Cruz would have to accept being the VP, and he'll literally never do that. The question for a soul-searching Marco Rubio to answer: "Is it worse to be Cruz's VP candidate and lose spectacularly in the general, or let the Trump id seize complete control of the party on every level?"

If I'm Rubio, I get out now, back Ted Cruz saying you are doing what's best for the country to unify the Republican party against Trump or whatever BS spin you need to give, decline the request for being a VP on Cruz's ticket, and prepare for 2020. If (God Save us) Cruz wins you can negotiate for a cabinet seat or some other perk down the line.

Rubio is young enough where he should back out now and fight in another 4 years.





Also Mitt backing anyone is going to get whoever he backs roasted by Trump.

I've actually not seen it recently. It started in the aftermath of gamergate, where they were trying to brand themselves as liberals and REAL progressives (not like those people who don't want nazis speaking at their colleges). I haven't seen nearly as much of it since Trump took flight and they sort of abandoned the pretense that they're liberals.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I listened to Hannity for a little while today for the hell of it. Its what I expected but what I didn't expect was the ad breaks.

Break #1
Hannity: Imagine that you buy a gun to protect your wife and children. Now imagine that some thug breaks into your home and you use that gun to protect your family. Now the police come and they handcuff you and drag you off. Do you know who to call? What to say? How to act? Well now you can buy this book that will tell you.

Sean Hannity is selling an honest to God "What To Do When You Kill Someone" handbook.


Break #2
Hannity: Did you read that they just bust this huge gang of thugs? They were doing horrible things, breaking into people's homes and stealing their stuff. Imagine if it was your home and if your family was home. Imagine what could have happened. But not if you buy my favorite security system. If you had that then those thugs would have been arrested in minutes.


Oh wait, now he's just trying to get people to invest in gold and silver. That's more what I'm used to.

It's been showing up on lot of the conservative and "centrist" people's Facebooks that I know where instead of SJW they bitch about the Regressive Left being intolerant cause they don't like racists and war criminals speaking at their college and they always use that loving Liberty University letting Bernie speak as how it should be. For example I was gonna go post this in the Right Wing Emails thread but I saw this post today from a dude I know

quote:


So, I learned that trying to be "mediating" of one's opinions on any hot topics of today ends in "Dude, I don't care." And a nice unfriend sticker to go with it.

That is, if there is a sensitive topic, they find themselves on one side of it, and you try to bring up how life's not always one side, and generalizing it as such is dangerous, they remove you from their lives, because "[they] don't need that kind of negativity."

Hear my words - this is the epitome and the lower and upper bounds of bigotry. If you can't be bothered with other's opinions, that is what bigotry is - not because someone of a perceived level of privilege decides to form an opinion one way or another. It's when you cannot tolerate other opinions - this is bigotry.

Thanks regressive left.
