He doesn't have trouble with institutional backing, endorsements, or political pedigree. The Apprentice gets renewed, Trump drops out, endorses Jeb solely on the logic that he already proved he can defeat him and doesn't want to cede in a way that could be misconstrued as him being outperformed

Ben Carson: "It is important to remember that amateurs built the Ark and it was the professionals that built the Titanic." what a line e: Trump playfully punching Bush just a little too hard on the arm and then offering his endorsement as he says "hey, no hard feelings" and Bush cringes/smiles at the same time would be worth any price of admission

The RNC held a conference call with the campaigns this morning to discuss future debates. It ended in a shouting match and now the RNC will only do 1-on-1 calls with campaigns.

from now on, debates will involve the candidates being asked, in a very gentle voice, what their favorite kind of wine is. scalp massages will be made available.

His problems don't stem from his policies or his proposals. He doesn't have trouble with money or organizational support. He doesn't have trouble with institutional backing, endorsements, or political pedigree. It is impossible. For all the talk a McCain style reassurance I think people forget two major differences. First he never went below 10 percent and second he was never considered a frontrunner. Jeb was pure name recognition, that's it. Just like walker really, in fact their polling trends correlate very well.

Three Olives posted:"The questions about Mannatech are definitely gotcha questions," Carson said. "There’s no truth to them. I know people know how to investigate. They can easily go back and find out I don’t have any formal relations with Mannatech. They can easily find out that any videos I did with them were not paid for, were things I truly believed. That would be easy to do. If they had another agenda, they could investigate and say — see, there’s nothing there! But if they have a gotcha agenda, they conveniently ignore all the facts and try to influence public opinion." Wait wait wait, Carson's actually going with the explanation that he truly believes in these magic supplements? I think I'd respect him more if he just said "yeah, I did it for the money".

First he never went below 10 percent and second he was never considered a frontrunner. The McCain comparisons are no more valid than a random anecdote. I'm all about the data and analytics but politics does not and never will have the sample size necessary to construct predictive models. We're all just talking out of our rear end when we try to say that this is just like Giuliani 2008 or McCain 2007 or not Romney #243 2012 or that that X number of endorsements are what truly matters. Based on what, a sample of 5 elections?

Dahbadu posted:What it's going to boil down to is the strength of the candidate. It's pretty obvious that Trump is the strongest candidate. Rubio is going to have to out-alpha Trump. Can he do it, even with a ton of PAC money and politicians backing him? The honest answer is that I don't think it'll be enough, at least in this political landscape. This guy gets it. We're not liberals. We don't celebrate weakness and we don't view testosterone deficiency as being hip or cool. Might makes right, beta bitches and actual bitches get the gently caress out of the way.

Rush just said this - The only way to beat Trump is to BEAT Trump. Rubio so far is the only candidate who can roll with Trump. The winner of that contest will be the nominee.

I'm glad that Jeb! has turned into a petulant child. It means that human urge to sympathize with him as he flails is suppressed because he's just too much of a baby. I can now fully enjoy the dumpster fire that is Jeb! For President!
