Think of it this way, with Trump declaring in an already crowded Republican race, each of them needs to reserve spots as fast as they can. It's reality television logic, Race for the Nomination, there's no time to lose!

First Republican debate has been confirmed to be 10 candidates only, looks like Trump is 11-9th place depending on the specific poll, but first debate is a Fox News one, will they use their own polls elusively or will they do a poll-average?

Jeb saying that how he met his first presidents were more terrifying than anything else its like hearing about a loving hereditary monarchy. If he wins I will actually leave the USA I am done with college in a year and I really will leave not even in the bitter "the guy I wanted to win didn't" I would honestly prefer Ted Cruz or Donald Trump. #HouseBush

I can't believe this is actually happening. Even better is that my mother and her 9/11 Truther husband are probably going to donate the max for trump. They've been openly wishing he would run since 2008. Scary richly get?

The scary thing is that you've got 14 people running on the exact same policy platform of serving as the empty vessel to receive Reagan's dark soul brought back to this world by burning the corpses of the poor to fuel the Resurrection Matrix, and you have Donald Trump. Trump's easily the last harmful Republican candidate running.

FMguru posted:Ah, that's what the Trump campaign reminds me of. Trump is the farcical second coming of Ross Perot. The same sort of blunt, no-nonsense, outsider approach to government to blow away all the corrupt self-dealing gridlocked crooks and pop the hood open and fix what is broken, by a man who made his own fortune and is beholden to no one. Old white people loving loved Ross Perot back in 1992 for his let's cut the crap and get things working again approach. Looks like Trump is going to try and siphon that same energy, although he's not one-tenth the candidate Perot was (and Perot was an unelectable loon). Except Perot actually wanted to be President. Trump wants to be President in the same way you or I might want a cold beer. Trump right now sounds like a Saturday Night Live caricature of a GOP Presidential nominee. I still can't believe he's being considered as a serious candidate.

He's not a serious candidate, but I would call him a serious monkeywrench. The rest of the GOP field will have to engage with his rhetoric on at least some level, and it's just going to make them all look like buffoons. If he takes the stage for a debate, he'll drag them all to hell.

Josh Lyman posted:"We are the Facebook generation, the Uber generation." Zuckerberg is basically a single issue contributor. He only cares about expanding the H1B visa program so he can stop paying programmers six figures. H1B visa reform has gone bipartisan but unfortunately for Zuc instead of expanding it like he wants everyone is talking about cracking down on the very loopholes Facebook intends to exploit.

Maximum entertainment. They use their own staged poll to have an excuse to cut out Trump. Trump goes Nuclear. Can you imagine? Lawsuits, lunatic invective, hell he'd turn up at the debate and genuinely try and crash it.

I'm gonna bring this back up because, in my mind, it's far too big to let candidates get away with. Jeb! posted:I hope I’m not going to get castigated for saying this by my priest back home, but I don’t get economic policy from my bishops or my cardinal or my pope. I think religion ought to be about making us better as people and less about things that end up getting in the political realm. The GOP are the ones putting this in the political realm. Every single bit of this sentence is twisted. If you want to (as a prolife Catholic like Biden might) state that you disagree with the Church about something, say it. I believe that many Catholics would say they would not personally choose abortion but they won't force that belief on others. It is not okay to say, "My religion informs me morally but I don't believe morals have any place informing my policy. Especially when it comes to how we treat those in poverty, one of the few issues Jesus was unequivocally clear on." Great_Gerbil fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Jun 17, 2015 |

Is Trump really going to accept donations? I'd rather he blow through his own money than take from lower/middle class rubes. (Other than the money he already takes from selling his lovely self-help books, and doing "business advice" shows with the guy from Rich Dad Poor Dad)

So it's OK to derive all opinions on social policy from religion, but don't you dare take any of that "help the poor" or "climate change is real" stuff seriously, son. The church doesn't get to offer opinions about that.

I was sort of surprised to see my ultra-religious childhood friend posting Trump's announcement speech on Facebook. I know he at least pays lip service to the religious right, but I didn't think any of them would buy it. Conversely, I'm sure she was surprised to see liberal ol' me liking her status for once.
