Scott Walker dropped out and David Cameron hosed a dead pig. And it's only Monday.

My day sucked and I am sick but the fact that Walker will never be president made it slightly better. The last of that 9 panel reveal thing should be Donald trump throwing a double bird.

Details coming in from NYTimes:quote:Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin has concluded he no longer has a path to the Republican presidential nomination and plans to drop out of the 2016 campaign, according to three Republicans familiar with his decision who spoke on the condition of anonymity. http://www.nytimes.com/politics/fir...v=top-news&_r=0 The moral to take away from this: just because you have billionaires backing you up with a PAC, you need people to donate to your campaign itself, and contributions to that are limited to $2,700 a person. Now who will keep our northern border safe from the wildlings? William Bear fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Sep 21, 2015 |

When you get called out for bankrupting your state, and driving it to the worst metrics compared to the other states, you're not going to get very far on a national level. The only reason he won 3 times in this state is because more people on the red team than the blue team vote during non-presidential election cycles. No one cares what you do, it's football to people in this state.

Keep in mind that Carson's popularity is in the context of Trump being front-runner: he's also an "outsider" but one who appeals more to Serious Sensible Conservatives than Trump ever will.

He might even be able to buy his way into a caucus win in Iowa; which was his game plan all along.

Also he's been real popular ever since he criticised Obama while standing inches away from him at the national prayer breakfast, and is regularly featured as a commentator on Fox News. He's been big for a while, just not in a way you're likely to have noticed if you're outside that particular audience.

I mean four months ago if someone had told you that Donald Trump would be leading the pack with Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina fighting for second place while Walker drops out due to polling at literally 0%, you would have said they were loving insane. And yet here we are, in the yoogest, most amazing of timelines. Embrace the madness that Trump has wrought, and be sure to vote against him in the general election.

Yeah his voice might have no energy but he still says all the incendiary nonsense. He called Obama a psychopath.

No shame at all in that prediction - I would have made the same one, I agreed with you 100%. I figured Walker, Bush, and maybe Rubio would go the distance as long as Trump was the frontrunner. Now I don't know what to believe. This is actually very surprising to me.

Good Citizen posted:He committed the cardinal sin of both sounding and looking dumb while he said dumb things. You're only supposed to do the latter in the GOP primary He was also a 100% financial conservatism candidate at a time when next to noone is biting that bait. In his attempt to appeal to social conservatism he brought up the "what if the mother will die without the abortion" hypothetical himself before diving in with the answer that even makes fundies cringe ("nope, no abortion, rip mother"). There's a reason Rand Paul is painting his fiscal conservatism with crazy axe/flamethrower/gun machismo. He's a bad politician and a bad human being and hopefully he is overthrown in WI so his years of damage can be undone.
