And I like Christie. But he, along with the other 3, are simply wasting space and speaking time. They're not contenders.

I don't like Chris Christie at all, but it's very telling how he is being politically crucified for the crime of 'graciously accepting federal help in a time of desperate need'.

Grace is literally not allowed in a GOP candidate.

I don't think making one apology for one mildly insensitive tweet is the final nail in the Trump coffin, or even actually a big deal at all. Trump's thing is more that he doesn't apologize when he isn't wrong, not that he rejects the entire concept of apologies. An intern hosed up, it was corrected and apologized for reasonably, he's moving on. The idiots posting here who think that Trump should start insulting those darn flyover Midwesterners who don't matter even harder are really, really stupid.

Your bitterness is palpable.

Well, he's an idiot. He could have spent 4 years quietly making up with the right, but instead he ran a very centrist campaign for re-election and then shut down a bridge because a democratic mayor wouldn't endorse him.

Chris Christie is human garbage. Many people knew that well before Bridgegate. And I won't forget the Democrats in New Jersey who tolerated his march to reelection as governor for the sake of their own political convenience.


I'm glad Trump stopped him from becoming the straight-talker of the election season. Seeing Christie and Jindal's political stock crash and burn are among the most cathartic developments of this election season.

white and gold.

A local (NH) Facebook group kind of devolved into crimes racism when discussion of a Boston charity that started raising money in a busy intersection in town started. Those raising funds were all black in a town that is probably 95%+ white. People were concerned about having "street beggars" in traffic, and how they were uncomfortable having these people approach their vehicle. When someone raised the question "would you feel the same way if they were white?" the jig was up and without even trying to answer a number of the posters went into not-a-racist defense mode citing how they were planning on or considering voting for Mr. Carson.

I'm not saying his supporters are closet racists, but there are certainly some people who would feel pretty good about ending racism by voting for him.

The tweet thing probably won't do much damage to Trump, but it's true we haven't seen how he works in an environment where he's not benefiting from the self-fulfilling aura of the frontrunner pulverising the opposition. Slipping in Iowa isn't a big problem for him in itself but if it changes the media narrative he feeds on he could have some trouble.

Yeah, they like Carson because he's a way for them to pretend they aren't racist. "Oh, nooo, we don't hate black people! Just black people who fail to fit into our incredibly narrow definition of how it's acceptable for a black person to behave!"

This is a child-like understanding of how racism actually functions.

Trump just trumped himself. All it takes are minor signs of weakness (bad polling) and he's gonna crumble.


Any day now! No way he'll ever top 10% in the polls. Seriously goons have been predicting the end up Trump for how long now?

Actually, the margin of error is more like +/- 100- 100%*(1/300,000,000)) since you're definitly not wrong about your own voting intentions.

Although is it perhaps possible that you could lie to yourself about your voting intentions? Perhaps your Ego causes you to claim to support Bernie, when in reality the Id cannot resist Trump's fierce, primal charisma.
