Anyone wants to question my money, don't. I have the best lawyers in the world, they know what they're doing. They say I have ten billion dollars, I have ten billion dollars. I don't even have to have them on retainer. They have me on retainer. They pay money to be on retainer because they know I earn them a lot of money, and I mean a lot of money, when some liberal sues me. Let me tell you my income is a lot like my competitors in this primary. A lot of zeroes.

As if the FEC has the claws to actually do anything about fraudulent/misleading statements in the filing. Trump's gonna keep on giving for several more months yet...

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slat...source=facebook A Trump-Cruz alliance begins. So what if these insane people thought like this: - run for GOP nom - if neither gets it, run as 3rd party aimed at winning enough to keep the 1st place winner under 270, waging a war of attrition with both sides in NM, CO, FL, and NV over immigration. - say Trump/Cruz comes in 2nd to Clinton, with Bush in a distant 3rd...the election goes to the house and grassroots pressure forces enough of the GOP majority to back Trump/Cruz that Boehner caves, unwilling to back Clinton and unable to back 3rd place Bush without the party breaking.

In any states where Republican votes are split, Hillary would win a plurality, thus granting her the full complement of the state's electoral votes and an electoral college landslide with something hilarious like between 42-45% of the vote. Think Clinton '92, actually.

I've really underestimated Trump. Only he could take something potentially damaging like FEC filings and switch it up to brag about how their forms aren't good enough for him. I can't wait to see the other candidates run negative ads or get up on stage with him, the guy is going to eat them alive.

Mons Hubris posted:How could that possibly work? It's not like they would be be taking a lot of votes away from Hillary. It doesn't work. A Trump/Cruz third party ticket would mean a landslide victory for the Democrat nominee and they'd probably take states like Texas because of the vote splits on the right. Hilary Clinton winning the same way Bill did would be hilarious and I think someone in the GOP might actually murder Ted Cruz on the Senate floor if he runs as a third party spoiler.

I changed my mind. Let him win the nomination. I want him to be the GOP's ruin. Donald Trump is the perfect avatar of everything the Republican Party has fostered and nurtured for the last 8 years--a hideous, disgusting golem of racism, arrogance, privilege, and loudmouthed stupidity--and there is no more fitting end for the GOP's 2016 Presidential ambitions than to have this Frankenstein monster they created hand the Presidency to Hillary "Great Satan" Clinton.

mintskoal posted:Trump: Let me just twist that knife a bit. Rove likes to win. If Trump is the nominee, he won't win. Therefore, Rove will work with anyone he can to keep Donald Trump from getting the GOP nomination--which just makes his stock fall further among Tea Party types. I cannot believe we are actually having a conversation about Donald loving Trump being a major party's nominee for President in TYOOL 2015. I mean, surely this can't have the demented, twisted storybook ending we want, right? There is no possible way Democrats are lucky enough to face Donald loving Trump in the fall of 2016?

It's simple. If gay men and women are allowed to marry, they will no longer be satisfying their needs with gay prostitutes, who will go out of business as a result.

It's been going on since Reagan actually, only in the last 8 years has it been kicked into overdrive because racists knowing there is a black man in the whitehouse broke their brains. Who could have imagined that the modern republican party would be crushed not by leftists, but by an ultra conservative billionaire with a hairpiece.

Seems more likely that Hillary wins an electoral landslide with a percentage of the vote in the 50s. Of course it doesn't really help Hillary or the Democrats that much since the Trump/Cruz voters are still voting Republican down ticket. Unless the Canadian Hair party decides to field a complete down ticket of insanity.

You'll see a bit of a bump in down ticket races normally, but if for some reason a massive racist like Trump is in the general you'll see a huge number of minorities vote that normally wouldn't which would be a massive impact.
