Christie had that brief period where he seemed like a guy Republicans liked and Democrats could begrudgingly respect. Imagine if he had come out swinging Trump-style against idiots who criticize him for thanking/hugging Obama in the wake of Sandy. Now he just comes off as the small-time goon he always was. this is my jam, this is my loving jam right here

Does Trump run his own Twitter account? Either he does or he has trained his interns very well on how to write exactly as he would.

NotWearingPants posted:Christie is done in politics period unless he moves somewhere else. Well the more important part is that he's term limited as governor, would never accept lieutenant governor, no one's going to appoint him to state supreme court, and if chose to run for state legislature he'd just be pouting as a do-nothing against the democrat super majority. It ain't like sucking off the Cowboys helped or anything, but his career was already deadended in the state and he has 0 appeal for anywhere else as well.

Who was it that was saying how they liked Trump's graphics because they nail the FB meme style so well compared to the slick establishment ones like Jeb Bush's Black Hand? This is a great example the quote marks around Jeb and the parenthetical after Graham are great little touches

The amazing thing about Trump is I think he legitimately does not give a gently caress about the concerns of the rich, unless the rich person's last name is Trump. The only person who gives less fucks about pleasing the rich is Bernie, he cares about exactly one less rich person.

People say that Trump's support will drop when other candidates drop out. Candidates drop out when they run out of money. What I'm saying, is that Trump should use SuperPAC anonymity to funnel money to his opponents and keep them all in the race.

The 35% in the NH poll is surprising -- it's a higher plurality than I was expecting him to get, but the unfavorables for Trump are real.

He doesn't need to gain more ground. If he can just keep the people he has right now angry at the republican establishment post-election, he'll have effectively shattered the modern republican party. I'm not convinced he can do that, unless some other demagogue steps up, but if he does, I can honestly say that Donald Trump's legacy will be as a Real American Hero. Think about that.

Throw in 2 months of (insert horrible thing Trump has said) it will change the narrative. Voters, the closer they get to the primary, will start to care about electability. Carson will self-implode, and I could see Cruz as this year's Huckabee.
