I feel like a Webb candidacy would hurt the GOP more than the Democrats but whatever E: Clinton (D), Rubio (R), Trump (I), Webb (I) would be amazing

It was basically something Trump picked out of a hat to bully him with and his cowering and wetting his pants at the insults did the rest. Someone pointed out in the 2016 thread that the low energy attack also has the effect of making Jeb! look like he's in a low testosterone commercial that fox is peppered with.

I've said repeatedly that GHWB came off like 1985's George McFly and it appears Dana Carvey ran with a little of that too.

So what are the odds Paul Ryan announces tomorrow for the role of Speaker and Boehner puts to the floor a clean bill?

I think Boehner is going to have to fall on his sword , take the blows, and shoot his own dog. Also he has to do something about what's going on in Congress.

I think the ideal scenario is that no one is able to get the votes for speaker and Boehner is forced to serve out his entire term in a job he doesn't want, and is forced to cut deals with Dems to pass poo poo. This would drive the right wing absolutely batty, enough to make them primary dozens of moderate republicans and nominate someone who is completely unelectable.

I get that the kid didn't actually make a clock from anything other than clock parts, but why is it so hard for people to understand that the overwhelming support he is getting isn't because he made a clock out of clock parts? Gee, could it have anything to do with the fact that he was arrested for bringing clock parts in a box to school. gently caress I hate people.

If he did not personally collect sand on the beach then used that to make the silicone circuit boards and then mine the lead for his soldering then he is not a actual scientist and deserves our scorn.

Maybe they just really hate the concept of linear time and don't want clocks to reminded them of it. Each moment carries them further from the golden age of the past and into the accursed future.
