It's funny that in Walker's drop out speech he went on about personal attacks and people should use the bible as a thing to help act better. Wasn't it just a few weeks ago when he compared a good chunk of the American population (unions) to ISIS?

Smoothrich posted:I was looking for a video of an interview he gave before he became a Senator where he spoke with shocking eloquence about his devout faith as a Christian and belief in his Bible taking a backseat to our shared freedoms and the American Constitution, he seemed very sincere in how he respects all religions, is tolerant of gays and other minorities, and feels obligated by both his Christian values and legal training 2 Serve and Protect the disenfranchised, poor etc but unsurprisingly all I can find is the past year of him pandering to Southern Evangelical primary voters for his long term Presidential campaign scheme (which is probably to become Trump's VP now lol) which makes him sound like a total zealot dbag instead. That's a rather odd definition of tolerance, given that he criticized the mayor of Dallas simply for daring attend a gay pride parade.

I guess not all that money will have been spent or allocated, but nothing so far has shown me that these candidates enjoy practicing the fiscal conservatism they often preach to others. How serious is the shortfall, or is it fairly benign and just a way of squeezing more from his supporters? Will we get a new poster where a heavily tattoo'd Cruz is turning tricks for campaign donations?

pathetic little tramp posted:His investors are going to be fleeing in droves because this just looks terrible and destroys their reputation if they're ever tainted by the merest association. On top of that, the last company he was "CEO" of is suing him for mega millions and is likely to prevail because he is really really lovely at covering his tracks. Failing that, making medicine for AIDS patients 4000x more expensive is a surefire way to piss off someone who has nothing to lose and access to a gun. Daraprim is used to treat Toxoplasmosis, not AIDS.

I am not sure whether I should be rooting for "Diamond" Joe Biden or "The" Donald J. Trump at this point. Hopefully at some point in the near future The Onion will publish a poll showing which candidate best represents my interests, with a footnote of candidacy optional.

I guess what I'm trying to say is --- the right wing talk radio guys will fall in line with whoever the nominee is.

Exactly. Then after they lose they rant and rave about being 'fooled by a RINO!' But unlike McCain Rush really did like Rubio, that is until Trump showed up. I'm going to make a wild prediction... The next NOT TRUMP will be Rubio, and it will happen sooner rather than later, and he maybe the guy who finally knocks Trump down.

Love Stole the Day posted:I know you guys like to circlejerk against Ted Cruz but at least give him credit for the "hi will you give me money" thing he said on the Colbert Show. I thought it was pretty authentic and genuine, at least. It was a great interview because nobody has called out people for the Reagan stuff before afaik and I think the audienc were assholes for booing the guest just because he wasn't pandering to them. I for one think this is a real game changer. Instead of being a fake rear end obstructionist garbage politician, he's an authentic obstructionist garbage politician. Really changes the way I feel about Ted Cruz and the many ways he's embarrassed this country and my home state.

Nietzschean posted:They may also develop severe literally any other disease, because that's what immunocompromised means. Are you saying that because AIDS patients can develop lots of diseases, that it is not germane to point out that they are one of the populations most affected by a price shock for the drug in question? I think it's quite relevant. It's actually pretty brilliant, because diseases that primarily affect immunocompromised are the best sort of target for this style of price gouging. They probably already have of insurance that they've reached a maximum OOP limit for, because they have a other things wrong with them too. So there is very little price sensitivity for the majority of your patients. And the patients who are destitute are dying to lots of other things as well, so it's not like it's your fault when they are withheld drugs and die.

It is gleefully capitalistic, but no ones going to die because of the price change. Those drug costs will get shifted from the AIDS patient to the insurer and then to insured individuals who subsidize patients who fully utilize their medical insurance. It's still a great example of why we need to have a serious talk as a nation about the insanity of US health care and drug development.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't foresee that happening. Rubio is an establishment politician, precisely the quality that Trump and his supporters rail against and what brought Carson and Fiorina to the spotlight. Rubio, like Kasich, is a smart guy with substance and possibly moderate appeal, which makes him a good alternative to Jeb!, but I haven't found much crossover between Trump and Rubio supporters.

Nietzschean posted:They may also develop severe literally any other disease, because that's what immunocompromised means. Toxoplasmosis is very strongly related to hiv and AIDS. In the early days when we had no idea what this was it was one of a couple of major issues that confounded doctors because "how the gently caress is a full grown man not only getting this but coming back for a refill on his meds. He should either get better or be dead." Yes just about anything can gently caress you up with AIDS, but there are certain diseases and infections that are far more common among AIDS infected patients than just about anyone else. Also, gently caress that guy.

Here's a lovely article about Scott Walker: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...-they-mattered/ Here's some choice quotes: quote:4) Money has long been a problem for the Walker family. It sounds like if anything, his personal debt issues did him in. And I'm sure other candidates would have attacked it as well.

You're correct that Rubio is seen as establishment, but my prediction is based on the assumption that more establishment candidates will begin to drop out as Walker did. As they do, that support/money will go to Rubio making him stronger. If not Rubio, the only one left that can fill the anti-Trump roll is Cruz, but he lacks ,presence, charisma, and likability.
