Twice as many Republican debates. There weren't enough last time!

Oh and surprise run-ins by Newt and Hermancain, ideally with Jesse Ventura and Ahnold as the announcers.

1976 RNC or 1980 DNC, depending on how you're counting. Kennedy tried to mount a challenge in 1980 but it was p. much hopeless, but the Republican nominee was genuinely not decided going into the RNC in 1976.

As long as their trying to call down the fire on each other.

- "Smite him God".

- "No God, I am your true presidential prophet, smite him", etc, etc.

Then the whole thing degenerates into a slap fight, Santorum jumps out and shouts

This still looks to be pretty accurate, except Romney isn't running. In there he talks about someone winning Iowa with 12% of the vote, which would be absolutely incredible.

Ranked by probability of happening:
  • Romney jumping back into the race.
  • Clinton called a oval office to thunderous applause at a Republican Debate.
  • Jeb secretly recorded promising to govern exactly like his brother.
  • Brokered Convention.
  • A Candidate getting so furious at a debate they have an aneurism on stage.
  • An attempt at an exorcism during the campaign caught on tape.
  • God is proved to be real when Jesus interrupts a debate to castigate every Republican on stage, followed by Ted Cruz trying to kill him.
  • Trump actually running.

After BurritoGhaziGate, I can't wait to hear the stories about how Christi stopped and got 2 dozen donuts but they weren't there when he got to work, on a regular basis. Or how Cruz stops and gets dozens of feeder mice at pet stores, then gets caught eating them one by one while staring at the preschool playground

In a vacuum maybe, but it's likely that any Republican President would have to go along with what Congress wanted so the output would be more or less the same.

I don't think W was all that dumb, he just gave zero fucks about anyone other than his pals and covered it up with an aww shucks hick act that everyone swallowed. So expect more of that, maybe with a different act.

Clinton's reaction to first story: 'Cut that poo poo out, I have a base to pander to! You want access? Well gently caress you, correct yourselves.'

Politico yesterday: 'Do we want access?'

Politico today: 'Clinton jilts Wall Street!'

This is why I don't like Clinton as a candidate, she's got an authoritarian mindset, not a collaborationist one.

Far too late to be a real candidate in consideration, he probably received a consultant plan that gives semi-decent odds for a campaign implosion by first week may and his ability to jump into the narrative using that.

Unfortunate for the huckster, Walker, Bush, and Rubio may be splitting a weak majority of support between themselves, but that support is deep where everyone elses' support is shallow at best.

They have where it counts, and they've gobbled up the first-rate support between them. Rubio's left with their crumbs and second-rate donors at best.

Paul? He's got a new hampshire and vermont state rep on his side! One of each!
