TheGreyGhost posted:Yeah, it's worth noting that 50% approval has been his high watermark in the state, and he honestly has struggled to reach those lofty heights by virtue of his sheer anti-charisma. His reputation is going to be as one of the adults in the room, but he's basically just tried to pander to whoever seems to hold the power in the room at the time and worry about it later. Also, it's worth noting that he held onto the governorship in large portion because he had a war chest to spend and was running against the single worst Democratic candidate Ohio and possibly the United States have ever seen. Like seriously, for the Aussie guy who brought up Kasich, do yourself a solid and look up Ed Fitzgerald and all the incredible scandals, gaffes, and whatever else he had in that campaign--it was unprecedented for how awful it was.I recommend Plunderbund for any research on Kasich as a governor though. He's a shrewd operator, but he's not nearly charismatic enough to pull this off.

Alter Ego posted:That's not why they don't want Trump to be the nominee. They don't want him as the nominee because he is the right's unfiltered id and they will get buried in a reverse-Reagan landslide, especially if Hillary is his opponent. Trump/Hilary in a debate would be amazing because Trump would probably say something insane like "well I guess it's clear why your husband cheated on you" and then we'd finally get to see an execution live on national TV as she first verbally and then physically rips him a new rear end in a top hat. RACHET posted:^^^ Ben Carson is unquestionably smarter than Donald Trump. FAUXTON posted:At this point probably Santorum or Rubio. Santorum as president would go full blown Theocracy as fast as Huckabee. Though if you put a gun to my head and made me pick, I'd pick Gyges posted:Out of curiosity, would it be possible for Trump to present so labyrinthine a collection of shell companies and financial shuffling for his official filings that nobody can unravel it enough to say just how busted his checkbook is for another 9 months or so? I'm sure the IRS would be more than happy to take in to account such a sudden increase in his net worth.

Hey, what if Trump ends up spoiling the Republicans? I don't see him backing down from the race, period, and when he fails to secure the nomination, he might just run as an Independent or form his own Trump Party. Definitely seems like a Trump move.

Cugel the Clever posted:The avatar purchase page specifically says you can't use img tags and the preview doesn't work. Are they just lazy as gently caress and haven't updated that section since 2003? Preview works for me. You can use images as long as they are served from SA's server (i think). Anyway, it has worked for a bunch of people. Make sure you take out the space in the [/img] tag if you are copy/pasting what I posted. Probably.

I don't see him backing down from the race, period, and when he fails to secure the nomination, he might just run as an Independent or form his own Trump Party. Definitely seems like a Trump move. He's already been an unmitigated disaster, especially since serious people like Ted Cruz, Sean Hannity, and Rich Lowry have defended him. It's the GOP's problem now, not just Trump's. Trump will be in commercials in November 2016 if he drops out tomorrow. He's so ridiculously inflammatory it's like he's a Democratic Party plant. And since he was such good friends with the Clintons (donated money to their foundation) until about 8 years ago, I wouldn't put it past him. Until I realize that Trump only acts in his best interest, and that this is a real thing that is really happening.

He's sort of this weird amalgam of "now-extinct sane Republican*" and "eccentric billionaire who's pretty sure he's put enough thought into policy questions to have a valid opinion".

The country would need him then more than ever before. Tragically, we probably won't get such a perfect matchup. There should honestly be enough historical irony and entertainment value in a Bush vs. Clinton matchup to keep us satisfied but this primary's already served up some daring dreams.

Evil Fluffy posted:Trump. One morning in Austin TX a train that was passing through had to stop because it had an electrical fault and the horn got stuck on. Of course this happened when it was passing near the well to do area of town because sometimes things work out in amazing ways. Rich fuckers who preferred to pretend that the outside world didn't exist when they didn't need it had to listen to it for hours on end and were really mad about the train not just going somewhere that they didn't have to listen to it. For some reason the Trump drama reminds me of that. Except instead of a train horn it is a stream of "WETBACKS WETBACKS OUR JOBS!!!!!"
