We've all had that dream where you were at an important moment in just your boxers, but Rand Paul had the courage to just face the nightmare.

Who was the last candidate to wear a bowtie with a suit and not a tuxedo? I don't feel equipped to answer that question but somebody else might. It's an ambitious sartorial choice, these days, so probably nobody recent. Maybe Vermin Supreme, though?

The Ted Cruz video is here. It's...considerably worse than I expected. The "joke" lasts almost 40 seconds. He comes off as a completely unbearable prick.

More White Noise posted:Rick Perry's in! Announcing tomorrow in Dallas. So, to recap, if I'm not mistaken, we're up to: Carson, Cruz, Florin, Graham, Huckabee, Pataki, Rand, Rubio, Santorum, and Perry, for a total of ten official candidates so far, with an additional four likely: Jindal, Trump, Jeb, and Scott Walker, correct?

Haha, Lincoln Chafee couldn't fill a classroom for his announcement that he's running for president. Had to break out the curtains. I don't know if Business Insider is a right-wing source or not, but "half-empty" was also how the AP described the room, so I'm guessing they didn't limit the seating for some reason.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/06/04/rick-perry-president-2016-campaign/23842295/ Article about Rick Perry's campaign launch, also mentions Jeb Bush announcing on June 15. It also has a slide show of The Best Of Rick Perry. My favorite:

Trump may be alot of things, but he's not dumb. He knows that if he legitimately ran and ended up in something like 6th place or worse, whatever ego and (littlle) credibility he has would be completely shot and open himself up to a ton of criticism as a joke candidate. Right now he can sit in his gold tower and basically say "I would be the president ever and if I ran I'd win YOOOGE...but I just don't want to." On a more serious note, I would like a reporter to ask Rand Paul if he thinks Edward Snowden is an american hero (who is the only reason Paul was able to give his theatrical fillibuster), and if he were president, would he let him return to the US with a pardon.

Rick Perry wants you to forget about 2012. He certainly has. His official campaign website is now up with a new video. Jeb Bush is going to declare his candidacy in Miami on June 15. Trump is declaring in New York on June 16.

I really enjoy lurking this thread but I'm getting tired of reading you making false equivalences and then claiming hypocrisy in exactly the same way every page or so. The equivalence is only false in that Walker was at least discussing a negative consequence of rape, vs the idea that it can be a secret female fantasy scenario. If claims of hypocrisy are really that annoying, stop holding the candidates to different standards.

richardfun posted:Objection, your honor. Assumes facts not in evidence. He's not THAT dumb. When your entire persona is built around being successful and you like to tease a presidential run every 4 years - you can't afford to end an election with 3% of the vote. He has no interest in a VP slot or cabinet position either, as Trump has said himself "there's only one office that matters". If Donald Trump runs a real campaign for president, and his name is on my states primary ballot, I will plant a Trump 2016 for President lawn sign in front of my house, for everyone in my D+13 district to see. I always thought if Trump wanted to get into politics, he could have ran for mayor of New York in the 80s/90s before he was widely considered a joke candidate, and when the city was more than willing to elect republican and billionaires.

Luigi Thirty posted:I mean, the man bankrupted a casino. While it does seem ridiculous that somehow a casino, whose entire business involves people putting money on a table and walking away with nothing, would go bankrupt - there are a few mitigating factors. 1. Trump barely owns any of the Atlantic City casino's that bear his name anymore. I think he has like less than a 5% stake last I heard. 2. The rise of gaming in New Jersey's neighboring states has killed Atlantic City. There are far nicer beaches in other parts of New Jersey for anyone looking to do down the shore for the weekend, and Philadelphia has multiple casinos now in the city and suburbs to satisfy the gambling itch. Philadelphia PARX, a casino literally a few minutes outside the city is huge, has free parking and the inside is just as nice as anything you would see at Trump Taj Mahal.
