Cruz said he has never attacked any of his colleagues in the senate and will not make personal attacks these next 18 months.

Cruz doesn't need to attack. He's having Trump do it for him, which is part of the reason he had that meeting with Trump.

I think its fairly obvious that Trump is working for Walker or was told to work for Walker. Trump goes very hard right gets a following then drops out, those supports will naturally go to Walker. Notice how Walker won't mention Trump or say anything bad about him?

This secret agenda of Trump narrative needs to stop, Trump is just being Trump, he has done this same crazy poo poo for decades. The guy is a loving slimball carnival barker albeit a very successful one. This whole thing is that Republican politics has become so insane that a loving clown found an opening and he is just doing his thing.

There is no agenda besides Trump getting into the press.

Standing ovation count is 5. They are not booing but saying CRUUUUUZZZZZ.

I also came to the realization that Luntz is trying desperately to steer the candidates away from certain verbiage and is failing miserably.


Brian brown, president of national organization for marriage is super bigoted. Christian persecution will get bad but not Tunisian bad. This guy just needs to say "Kill the queers!" And get it over with.

Trump walks onto stage, followed by Caine dragging his feet.

Trump: Hello America! Thanks for watching! We have a great show tonight at the White House, some crazy hijinks will ensue. I have the plan to make America great again, if you're not a loser you'll stick around!

[Trump turns to Caine]

Trump: Now Herman, I'm gonna need the following things before my master plan unravels. I'm gonna need a styrofoam noodle, a can of hairspray, duct tape, the Joint Chief of Staff, and a sundae banana split.

[Trump slaps Herman Caine on the back and briskly exits stage left. Caine is dumbfounded at his laundry list and stutters]

Caine: D-donald wait! What do I need this for? Donald!? DONALD?!!! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SHUCKY DUCKY!!

Obviously that is the worst thing you can possibly be heard saying if that is really what he said, but what he was thinking in his head was probably 'don't disrupt daily operations of the city, don't react to police, and have the unifying voice in the conversation be to forgive the killer'.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

Beforehand posted:

Trump already gone nuclear on McCain, amidst crowd jeers: "John McCain is a war hero because he got captured, that's a fact - I prefer/like people who didn't get captured."

While that's not far from the truth, it leaves out that Daddy and Grandpa were important people (unlike John) which made his capture an even bigger deal. If John McCain was KIA he would've just been another name on the Vietnam Memorial. Likewise if he was just a random (terrible) pilot his capture and return wouldn't have gotten any more attention than other POWs and maybe he wouldn't have been captured because instead of being allowed to continue being an awful pilot he would've been tossed behind a desk or handed a rifle and sent out with infrantry.

Alkydere posted:

In other news, presidential hopeful Rick Perry ( :lol: ) has spent nearly $1 million to stay out of jail on corruption charges. Meanwhile, he's spent only $600,000 on trying to be the next President.

Full story is behind a paywall sadly, but the article's here for anyone who has a Statesmen account.

Doesn't he know he just needs to get the state SC to order the investigation terminated and all evidence destroyed like the totally-not-corrupt Wisconsin SC just did for Walker?

Only because the black people being shot were Christians.

Though once Roof finds Jesus I'm sure President Huckabee will be more than willing to grant a pardon.

Credit where credit is due, McCain did refuse a North Vietnamese offer to exchange him (once they discovered who he was and his father's prominence) as it would put him ahead of other POWs who had been at the Hilton longer, and because he didn't want them making propaganda bank on his last name.
