Yeah he requires a constant media frenzy in order to stay on top. If the frenzy stops then he's just an idiot with bad hair who isn't really that in tune with Republican orthodoxy.

It's smart, insofar as it allows for potentially clever responses that might (miiiiiight) go viral, but it also is so restrictive in nature that it would be hard to turn it in to a "poo poo on Hillary" meme. It's a lot safer than "share your ACA horror stories", anyway.

The Exile (er, excuse me, the eXile) was a product of its time: a couple of coked up shitlords writing a paper for their friends who were in 1990s-era Moscow looting the hell out of it. On any random page you'd see reviews of Russian prostitutes or Limonov ranting about how he needs to be put in charge so he can kill everyone he dislikes. Both of these things could be "ironic lies" or 100% truth and I doubt either Ames or Taibbi knew the difference.

Then Yeltsin was replaced by Putin and Moscow wasn't a fratboy gangster paradise any more, and the eXile was promptly shut down. Taibbi moved on and somewhat grew up, Ames didn't.

You know things are hosed up when Donald Trump is the more reasonable, moderate person in the conversation.

It's really hilarious. He's embracing the smokescreen (ABORTION!!!!!) and casting aside the actual reason they want to defund PP (effective low cost womens' health service funded by the government).

I don't even think it will. The spite-fueled "gently caress you" and pro-business wings are often at odds with the religious wing. It's not even the "gently caress you got mine" vote. These are voters who don't even care about getting theirs as long as people get what they perceive as justice by being hosed over.

Trump isn't supported by pro-business establishment members. You can tell because he's advocating things that might actually help business in the long-term.

I'm sure he can come up with a good defense of this in the next debate too.

"I'm all for an investigation of Planned Parenthood's abortion practices. 100%. I don't think we should be giving them money to do abortions. I don't think we do, but if we do I don't think we should. That said they do other things besides abortions, and until another reasonable alternative can be found to provide women's health services, I don't think they can be defunded."

I mean honestly, he's the least morally terrifying of all the candidates. And his Christianity seems a lot closer to mainstream middle America Christianity than the warped fundamentalism that has taken hold of seemingly all of the serious candidates. For example, I don't think Trump believes the End Times are imminent like at least half the rest of the field probably does.
