I wonder how he picked the name "Bobby" considering his given name of Piyush. "Peter" seems like the natural choice.

Also, this article from the NYTimes just came out about Scott Walker's struggles to get a budget passed in Wisconsin and how the budget and the general policies of his government relate to his planned run for President. Scott Walker, Set for a Bigger Stage, Faces G.O.P. Revolt in Wisconsin quote:MADISON, Wis. — As Gov. Scott Walker prepares to announce his campaign for president next month, promising to bring what he calls “big bold leadership” to Washington, as he did in Wisconsin, he faces a cloud over that story line: Republicans back home are in revolt. Just like Jindal, Walker is facing lawmakers, some from his own party, who are annoyed by the inflexibility caused by their run for President. Are there any other notable examples of this from this year? Though, how would you tell the difference between: a Republican who obstinately won't raise taxes because he's running for President, and a Republican who obstinately won't raise taxes because he's a Republican?

Joementum posted:The question is: what could Donald Trump possibly say that's so dumb he'd sink his campaign? This is from his talk to the Maryland Republicans last night: The snippets of Trump's interview with Bill O'Reilly were also just...delicious. Any other candidate would start asking themselves some serious questions if they got mocked by O'Reilly. Luckily, The Donald is not 'any other candidate'. A nice link here with video and some choice quotes. Picking a favourite is like saying which of my nieces and nephews I like best, but I think I have to go with this one. It's short, pithy and 110% Trump.

Joementum posted:The question is: what could Donald Trump possibly say that's so dumb he'd sink his campaign? This is from his talk to the Maryland Republicans last night: Trump's campaign really takes campaigning for President to its logical conclusion and makes the process into a full on reality television show. Trump himself is the obnoxious guy that everybody wants to get booted off right away, and everyone knows that he is going to eventually, but they keep him around for weeks and weeks. mooyashi posted:tell me the amount you'd wager against my hundred that you think Trump carries a god drat thing. I'll throw a toxx on it too. You might say his campaign isn't all that it's... Trumped up to be!

There are big differences between the numbers here. I hope this means that fox news learned nothing from the last election and keep skewing polls to make sure their fake reality is thought to be accurate until election night.

One is the individual Fox News poll, while what decides who is in the debate is an average of multiple polls, some of which at this point came before Trump's announcement and his YOOGE momentum shift.

FAUXTON posted:Instead of skeletons in his closet, Jindal has fedoras. Seriously. The most striking part of that exorcism story isn't that he kidnapped a friend and performed an exorcism because he assumed her depression over a serious health crisis had to be caused be a demonic possession. It SHOULD be the most striking part of the story, but its not. The most striking part of the story is that he says he has an "intimate" relationship with a woman he's never made any physical contact with and hasn't spoken to in a year, when she breaks down emotionally because of what she's going through he offers no support or comfort but asks others to do it and insists on not talking about it, and when she finally asks him to talk he actually refuses and she gets pissed off. And he can't understand WHY she's pissed off so demonic possession totally makes sense. Bobby Jindal is autistic.

Josh Lyman posted:"$140 million for something called 'volcano monitoring' " The best part of that quote is that not even a month after he said it a volcano north of Achorage in the middle of a prominent airlane blew an ash cloud all over a big chunk of Alaska. Thanks to the monitoring program we knew the eruption was coming, the FAA was able to redirect flight routes and nobody died.

The X-man cometh posted:Bobby also sounds like "Bhabi", the Hindi word for sister-in-law. Don't know what he was going for there. He picked it when he was a child while watching The Brady Bunch. This is normal. I have a friend who was asked to pick an English name when she started kindergarten. She picked "Vinnie" because she thought it sounded cute. No one told her it was a boy's name. Focusing on his name is really really stupid and verging on racist, so you should all stop it. His name is Bobby, who the gently caress cares.

Welp, with the Obamacare decision over, that just leaves the gay marriage rulling. That is coming up incredibly soon, right? From what I've been reading, that seems even more of a safe bet than the Obamacare ruling. I just wonder how all this is going to affect the election cycle. How hard will these blowhards blow?
