Poor John gets no respect. http://www.mediaite.com/online/new-clinton-email-calls-john-boehner-louche-alcoholic-lazy/ quote:New Clinton Email Calls John Boehner ‘Louche, Alcoholic, Lazy’ She also swapped stories about Obama's falling approval numbers and how to not get tied up in them and has a mancrush on Martin O'Malley. Still no communications from her time coordinating with Al-Qaeda during Benghazi.

Patter Song posted:I divide them into two categories: the vanity candidates and the people who actually wanted to be president but belly-flopped. The latter category are the ones that are more likely to drop out earlier, and that's Christie, Rand, Jindal, maybe Rick Perry. Santorum said on Friday on Real Time that he has no intention of dropping out. His logic is that he was polling at 1% at this point in the 2012 cycle and he ended up finishing second in delegates.

Jeb! attempts to hit back at Trump again:quote:A visibly perturbed Jeb Bush escalated his war of words with Donald Trump on Tuesday, blasting the Republican frontrunner as "not a conservative” in English- and Spanish-language interviews during a Miami campaign event. Jeb, Jeb, Jeb. Nobody cares about your stupid book.

Grouchio posted:So what would make things likely for Bernie to win the nomination/general election against the likes of Trump and the GOP? The things that would cause Bernie to win the nomination would be more than enough to give him a pretty easy win in the general; he'd be riding a populist wave and seeing massive voter turnout largely because he'd need those things to defeat Hillary in the first place.

Being a rich rear end in a top hat is pretty much the core part of Trump's appeal, though. As for being out-of-touch, he seems to be resonating with the GOP base a whole lot better than ol' Jeb! is right now.

Everybody I talk to (In MA/NH) seems to support Trump. Even people in here and in my politics fb group (political clusterfuck) are starting to warm up a little to him. Hell, even I'm finding myself defending him to people who like Carson or Santorum. I'm starting to think he's actually going to be our next president.

Evil Fluffy posted:[citation needed] This is something none of the other candidates come close too when talking about matters involving law or the Constitution. The guy is amazing to listen to and during the Assault Weapon ban committee hearings ins 2013 he wiped the floor with Charles Schumer and Diane Fienstein making them look like complete loving retards. Watching him vs Trump would be hilarious as Trump would just come off as a bully and look like an idiot, and I like Trump. I'll say it, over and over, Cruz would have easily fit in with the Founding Fathers as far as his knowledge and respect for the laws and if we get Trump in 2016 Cruz as VP or AG would be awesome.

You seem to be under the mistaken belief that the GOP voters decide who wins an argument based on the quality of the argument presented rather than who shouts the loudest and gets in the most "zingers". No one is denying Cruz could outdebate Trump in a court of law, or a debate that was actually moderated and scored effectively. But Trump can outshout, and so he'd win.

While I find it impressive that Jeb can defend himself in Spanish, I am not part of the base he's trying to appeal to. This is why he's going to lose the nomination.

If you’re an American, speak English! Look at all the great people in this country that came from other countries, but learned to speak English because they wanted to be Americans. I have never seen demands that everything be printed in Italian, for example, or polish, or any other language, only Spanish.

I think you're missing the issue here. Cruz can do the same while playing by the rules, the issue is Trump would look like a GBS poster going "U Mad!?!? I'm Gay! Cuck!" And it would look bad, especially because Cruz agrees with him on almost all points but is even more conservative in many ways.

Trump has truly become one with the white hot sphere of rage--and has directed its baleful gaze towards John Ellis Bush Bush. I wonder if that theory is true--is he really just in this to turn JEB!'s political career into a fine paste? And once done, will he stay in the race?

Fat Ogre posted:I think you're missing the issue here. If Cruz could do what Trump does, he'd be doing what Trump does. You're seriously overestimating the GOP base. Just look at what happened with Christie and Paul in the first debate. Christie is perceived to have "won" that exchange purely on the basis that he yelled the most. Making salient points or knowing how to structure an argument means nothing.
