CannonFodder posted:Why would he bump two people from the debate? His ego is worth two podium spots but his hairpiece is only worth one. Fiorina wasn't going to be in anyway, but still theoretically could get tenth in some miracle. Another way you could see it: Fiorina was bumped by likely presidential nominee Ben Carson.

I think this calls for a thread title change. The Great Wall of Mexico? Obamacare kicks in bigly? Or just "The Yoogest, Classiest Campaign"? William Bear fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Jun 16, 2015 |

Sheng-ji Yang posted:how much of his own money can he legally put in his campaign. like could he spend every cent he has to dominate the primaries and become our next president As much as he wants. However, he probably doesn't have that much cash on hand. He'd have to sell a lot of real estate quickly.

Jesus Christ, he's in. He actually did it. He can't possibly have any positive effect on any aspect of the race, can he? You know, aside from providing endless comedy for Democrats and liberals. Seriously, if you didn't think the GOP primary field was a loving clown car before, it sure as hell is now.

Sir Tonk posted:http://www.npr.org/sections/itsallp...ontent=20150616 [quote="On Tuesday, after his political rally, Trump is expected to release release a summary of assets that total $9 billion, the Washington Post reports. That number would include valuations on his real estate.[/quote"] The issue has never been Trump's assets it's that Trump has been in the past extremely leveraged to the point that he needs money to keep coming in just to keep the financial house of cards together. I suspect that if he actually releases any financial documents they will omit any liabilities and by almost all accounts he has massive liabilities. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/22/donald-trump-net-worth-deposition_n_852376.html Trump is basically full of poo poo and the Forbes list of billionaires is bullshit too, it's mostly just guesses, sometimes major holdings are public record like you can comfortably state that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were billionaires based on their direct holdings of Disney, Apple and Microsoft but Bill Gates has been very publicly divesting his Microsoft shares and his other holdings one can guess are in the billions because by all accounts his family office is an incredibly successful at diversifying his proceeds from Microsoft but only Bill and his accountants actually know how much he is worth. Actually Bill probably doesn't know and it would probably take a room full of accountants to sort it out at any given time.

I'll bet no "summary of liabilities" will accompany it. A lot of people have impressive-looking summaries of assets - it's real easy to look flush when you neglect to mention your mortgage, student loans, medical debt, back taxes owed, and credit card balances.

FMguru posted:You could make a case that Dems will waste time making fun of Trump that could be used to better focus on the real candidates, or that the clownishness of Trump (and some of the other no-hopers)will make Bush/Walker/Rubio look better (by being the adults in the room. I don't think a very good case; by the time November 2016 comes around, Trump's campaign will be long forgotten and any effect it might have had will be impossible to detect. Yeah, and on top of that, it just makes the Republicans in general look extremely un-serious. The fact that Trump isn't the candidate with the worst chance of getting the GOP nomination is not, ahem, confidence-inspiring.

Two news links worth reading: 1: Brian B at TNR discusses why Hillary winning is a lesser victory than a Republican winning and why you should be depressed as a D http://www.newrepublic.com/article/122045/most-optimistic-theory-about-president-hillary-clintons-agenda 2: Paul Waldman does some good concern trolling about The Donald http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2015/06/16/how-do-you-solve-a-problem-like-the-donald/ Nietzschean posted:I do not watch political TV and I am curious: how much of the Republican candidate field looking silly is real and how much of it is an echoing circle jerk? I think some of it circle jerking, to be fair. But they're all really nutty and they're going to spend the next sixteen months or so having a dick waving contest to see who can say dumber poo poo in an attempt to prove that they are The Chosen One to Succeed His Holy Sanintness, Ronald Reagan and undo the Evils of the Black Satan Obummer because their primary voting base literally believes Obama is a Facist Dictator prepping to invoke martial law, take their guns, and murder them in a Glorious Leftist Take Over BI NOW GAY LATER fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Jun 16, 2015 |

I mean, that kind of depends what you mean exactly. There's certainly plenty of Schadenfreude here, but each of these candidates carries the seeds of his own destruction. At this point the race is Hillary's to lose. That doesn't mean that the DNC doesn't have work to do between now and next November, and they obviously need to take whatever threat the Republican candidates pose seriously. But that said, right now it's pretty safe to say that this is a piss-poor collection of candidates.
