I have heard rumblings that he'd alienated a fair amount of erstwhile-supporters by being so antagonistic towards Obama and, by so doing, the US government generally. Whether that is 1) actually correct, and if so 2) translates into voter movement, I cannot say.

Last time I was in Israel, open use of the n-word to describe Obama was socially acceptable.

Ron Paul spent the weekend speaking at a secessionist rally, because of course he did.quote:“A lot of times people think secession, they paint it as an absolute negative,” said former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul. After all, Paul said, the American Revolution was a kind of secession. “You mean we should have been obedient to the king forever? So it’s all in the way you look at it.”

pengun101 posted:does bibi have an actual chance at loseing? I thought his party/coalition/shitheads had a majority? Well prime minister polling isn't as easy to break down as presidential polling but the general feeling right now is that Netanyahu has a better chance of forming a coalition but not by much. The election won't be the end of the story and there's a lot of poo poo happening in back rooms right now that will form the basis of whatever emerges. Basically, it's entirely possible that Bibi loses his position but maybe a little less likely than the alternative.

Business Gorillas posted:I found out about the Freedom Summit listening to NPR and I thought it was kind of funny how they stressed who wasn't there (Jeb, Romney, etc.) almost as much as who attended. The whole report came off as "nobody who's seriously running is going to this thing". The real candidates are making it a priority this year to stay away from events that make them say stupid things too far to the right. Additionally the RNC is going to have a lot more control over the debates and the questions to help prevent them from saying things that will bite them in the rear end in the general. It's unfortunate that they are learning from their mistakes.

I'm sure they can keep things somewhat tighter than in '12, but there's no way they can keep Mitt and Jeb completely safe once they're sharing the stage with Huckabees and Cruzes and Rands Paul

Twinkies are a snack cake that are filled with sweet cream, much like the trains that were filled with prisoners being transported to Nazi death camps.

The ambassador, never mentioned the fact that Netanyahu was in negotiations and finally agreed to come to Washington, not to see the president, but to go to Capitol Hill, speak to a joint session of congress and criticize the president's policy. I have to say I'm shocked.
