I think its super cool that after dealing with a bunch of people who have been in the fox news bubble so long they forgot why they were using dogwhistles, we now get to deal with someone who's been in the GOP rarified air so long he has absolutely no concept of how normal people speak and empathize.

homeless poster posted:that's an excellent point, and something i was really confused about during the 2012 election cycle. you have all these dudes like santorum and newt who are never going to be a serious presidential candidate, but they get all these donors to pile money into a superPAC and they get to be in the media spotlight for 15 minutes. what the gently caress happens to all the superPAC money once a guy like that drops out of the race, assuming it wasn't already wasted down to $0? can they (or the controlling entity of the superPAC) just pocket the difference? if so, i feel like "unelectable presidential candidate" is going to become a viable part-time job for american oligarchs in the coming decades Perhaps prok chops on a stick is worth running for president for Santorum & Huckabee.

Jeb! "Stuff Happens" Bush is hosed. Rubio literally said he's pro-Obama amnesty (in Spanish no less). The establishment has officially lost control of the party.

That's when it might be difficult for someone without a good ground game (Trump, for instance) to be everywhere at once. EDIT: Also, this one isn't a pie chart either.

Trump really screwed up his response. Should've went with: "I love guns. I love the people who own guns. Lots of great people. But frankly, they're killing us."

Imagine you win the super bowl and then receive a call from Jeb Bush. Would instantly deflate the room. Same goes for Hilary. I think if we judge our candidates by this metric we arrive at a singular stunning option.

This poll, amusing as it is, has a rather unique methodology. Candidate choices aren't offered to respondents, they have to self-submit. (i.e. they say "Who are you voting for" and you throw a name out, they don't give you the list of candidates). This likely accounts for Jeb losing his soft support (the people going "Oh, there's a Bush, I guess I'm supposed to pick that one") and polling at 4 rather than his typical 8-10. It definitely accounts for the over 20% undecided, who are people who can't name a candidate. Also for why Biden does so poorly (8% on the Dem side)...presumably offering his name as a choice makes people go "Yeah, I could see Diamond Joe as President," but without that prompting they wouldn't think of him.

I see it a little different. I think your argument makes sense for Kasich, or even Cruz, but Jeb! has the second highest name recognition of the entire GOP field and he could only get 4% to conjure up his name? Between this and "STUFF HAPPENS" the optics look really bad for a candidate that seems stuck in first gear.

That's really interesting! Jeb's had a really bad day. At this point I'm wondering how long they're going to give him to turn it around before they realize he can't win and never could. The longer he stays in the race at low single digits the harder it gets to explain him. For the smaller candidates, it's okay to lay low until a debate and then try to gain some ground. Bush's whole narrative depends on him being a dominant, reliable candidate and the longer he isn't the less likely it seems he'll become one. If he limps into the third debate and doesn't do really well he might have to drop out. Donors are going to start jumping ship to Rubio as well, only to realize to their horror that they've poisoned the well against hispanics so badly that that's not going to work, either.
