Post-Trump might be just as nightmarish for Establishment types. yeah but trump is the kind of sadness that makes me laugh while cruz is the kind of sadness that makes me really really sad i don't think anything when i think of carson

Mister Macys posted:Is this really the drawback we think it is these days? Genuinely curious. It would be with some of the Republican base. In the general, it wouldn't be the focus. The thing is that he isn't high-functioning. If he was running rings around Obama and had managed his caucus, fine. Man can guzzle as much wine as he wants. We're talking about a guy who retired in disgust/disgrace though.

Dolash posted:I don't know if that's Christie's main problem, he doesn't seem to have an issue with going hard rhetorically. The only way that seems to hurt him is his pitch at least used to be that he's a Republican governor in a blue state and knows how to work the system and get stuff done. In the current climate that sounds too much like compromise, especially next to Donald "We'll do so much winning you'll get tired of it!" Trump and especially after the infamous Obama hug. His problem with the establishment and "moderates" concerned about his electability thanks to bridgegate is just as serious. Don't forget that Mitt Romney's executive experience was also "compromising with Democrats in a very blue state".

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/10/05/carly-fiorina-s-mystery-foundation.html This makes my head hurt but the tl;dr is Fiorina has claimed to run a charitable foundation as part of her presidential qualifications yet the foundation doesn't exist, that's just what she calls her donor-advised fund that may or may not have given money to "dozens" of charities, charities that she will not name. God she is such a poo poo candidate.

Who is the last President that wore glasses full time? Because Jeb! is hosed on that basis alone, new frames or not. We DEMAND our Presidents to have 20/20 vision, or at least appear to have perfect vision.

I will be happier, regardless of who is the eventual R nominee, if I stop hearing about Carly Fiorina- seriously, this person has anti-credentials. Every thing this person has done in her "career" is a yooge, red flag. The worst was hearing about how she "won" the debate- all she did was spout literally the most insane rhetoric and sabre-rattling. The United States is not militarily in a position for a showdown with Russia in the vein of "with us or against us"- the prestige and power of the US is so diminished from a decade ago as to make that untenable. Truthfully, the US can no longer negotiate from a position of strength- the next century will belong to China even faster if she plays that card. But her primary supporters aren't interested in reality- they love the fantasy of the US still being able to bully and bludgeon its way across the world stage, which is now just that- fantasy. "Oh wow, this person talks my brand of bullshit without a hint of conviction- woman president material right there!" TLDR: Carly Fiorina makes me long for the days of Sarah Palin. 30,000 jobs- think it'll end there? What a oval office.

On a Fiorina note, I don't know if this has come up yet: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/10/05/carly-fiorina-s-mystery-foundation.htmlquote:Carly Fiorina is so opposed to Planned Parenthood, which she believes is “pushing women into late-term abortions so they can more successfully harvest body parts,” that she would shut the government down in order to prevent it from receiving any federal funding. But she doesn’t oppose Planned Parenthood enough, it seems, to care if the organization that controls the Fiorina Foundation, her mysterious charity outfit, also distributes funds to the group—nearly half a million dollars since 2011. The gist is that Fiorina's been listing "Chair of the Fiorina Foundation" as an accomplishment for a while, when the Fiorina Foundation is the name of the account she has with a financial organization that seems to exist mostly to lower your effective tax rate. Also, it's given money to PP.

Noctis Horrendae posted:That would definitely be pronounced "heb" phonetically. I don't know how you came up with "habe". American English (at least,my variety of it) uses /ɛ/ (head, said, bed) for the orthographic "e", whereas Spanish (or the variety I'm most familiar with) uses /e/ for it. In my English, /e/ sounds pretty close to a long "a" (raise, date).

I can't really remember him not wearing glasses except after he was done being President. Other than reading, I think it's TR, Wilson, FDR, Truman, and Bush the Elder without eyesight the American People can believe in.

These attacks on Planned Parenthood by go well with their base in small districts but as recent polling shows going down that path headed into a general would be a HUGE mistake. The fact is Planned Parenthood is extremely popular and the baby parts stuff did little to nothing to their reputation.

Add this to the Carly is a poo poo personquote:The piece tells, among other things, the story of Joe Shumate, a California pollster whom she called “an integral” member of her Senate campaign and “trusted advisor and friend,” who was found dead of a heart attack amidst pages of polling data a month before 2010 Election Day. After his death, she offered her “sincerest condolences” to his wife. But here's where it gets bad quote:

Imagine that in TYOOL 2015 a story has arisen that shows a FYGM establishment republican living the FYGM life. Sounds to me like she's a  principled conservative. Think how hard it must have been for her to resist the temptation to be a decent human being.

The only good thing about a Fiorina nomination would be watching really misogynist leftists come up with new synonyms for oval office, whore, and bitch for their editorial positions.
