Winkie01 posted:Jeb! cutting payroll 40% for his staffers! Don't mistake me for a Bush fan, but I think he's got more of a chance than it looks like right now. He won't win Iowa, but when New Hampshire votes, they'll look for a counter to Carson, Cruz, or Trump - whoever does wins Iowa. That'll probably be either Bush or Rubio, and Bush's organization has the better chance of actually getting warm bodies to the polls. After that, he'll need to rely on primary voters in others states tuning in for the first time and assuming he's inevitable based on name recognition, a New Hampshire win, and a carpet bombing of ads from his Super PAC. Bush has a lot less margin for error than anyone realized, but he's not sunk.

jeb dropping out now would be pretty smart. he can jump back in, at high energy, and sweep half of the states left with laser targeted funding.

I feel that while it's possible-if-not-likely that Trump isn't going to win primaries or that the RNC will dick with the nomination rules to deny it from him, Trump might get the nom regardless if he fucks with everyone else's campaign enough that they drop out before they get there. So the question is if Jeb, and any other establishment candidate, can stretch it out long enough.

OctoberBlues posted:We need to get these candidates talking about college football. Iowa is 7-0 and looking to be in great shape to go 12-0, so if we can get candidates to snub Iowa when discussing the playoff contenders, a lot of people in Iowa would probably get really pissed off. If reading Iowa football message boards has taught me anything, it's that a lot of Iowa fans are really bigoted assholes who are going to vote republican. Do they not play MSU, tOSU or UM this year?

It's like reading Flowers for Algernon in reverse.

Right now, unless there's a substantial change in the trajectory of the election, it looks like Carson will take Iowa, Trump will take New Hampshire, one of the two will take South Carolina, and Jeb will fade away.

Trump is really strong in New Hampshire, and he actually makes sense for their demo - North Eastern working blue collar whites. Jeb! and his campaign knows this, thats why they keep saying "Wait till March, and you will see!"

Talk radio update: Rush's big 'thought' for the day(other than Benghazi) is the conspiracy that the "Republican donor class" set things up so Paul Ryan would be speaker, and Jeb would be President - That way the donor class can get everything they want pushed through(amnesty) Only Trump and Carson can stop them, that's why there's so much opposition against Trump.

Look, if Jeb was winning then his plan would work! Ramrod Hotshot posted:Don't mistake me for a Bush fan, but I think he's got more of a chance than it looks like right now.

After that, he'll need to rely on primary voters in others states tuning in for the first time and assuming he's inevitable based on name recognition, a New Hampshire win, and a carpet bombing of ads from his Super PAC. What's he gonna pull out that's gonna make people want to vote for him? At this point, even if he wasn't the absolute worst (and he very much is) the media is looking for him to make mistakes and say dumb things because that's what people want to see in the news. He's in an echo chamber and he's getting battered. He has no hope, and should quit while he still has a few shreds of dignity.

All the gun stuff was. Including "people should just rush the gunman" and "one time that I probably made up, a guy put a gun to my back so I directed him to point it at the cashier instead."

He's been mumbling this and that periodically, such as the whole Holocaust-guns things, and also something the other day about abolishing a wasteful government program that totally isn't adored by one of the biggest voting blocs in the whole nation.

Ben Carson is awake approximately 45 minutes out of every day so that he can conserve his remaining life force for brain surgeries. When he comes to, he says something adequately conservative and then returns to torpor.

It's also very likely he only knew Supergirl's name because of the TV show that's starting to air. Shame it won't be crossing over with Arrow/Flash though, but at least the CW is still getting away with slowly introducing the Justice Society.
