For what it's worth, everything I can find in 30 seconds of googling tells me his name is Reinhold, not Rheinhold, am I just an idiot? Man I have contributed to an extremely mundane derail here.

Maclaine made a spelling error so its all good.

We are in agreement that Reinhold is in fact a good and cool name, but adding an h is excessive and dumb.

in fact adding h to anything is dumb

Imagine a human butt farting forever.

Also this is giving me a serious The Sheep Look Up vibe.

I'd think it would be a more Idiocracy vibe. But maybe in Carson's future America they really will care about whose rear end it is and why it's farting.

BTW, was thinking of starting a Brunner thread in the book barn. But I'm not much on effortposting these days. And besides, all my dreams are about to come true.

At this point, I don't think Jeb! is even going to make it to Iowa.

As for the others, I suspect that we'll be seeing the kiddie-table candidates (Jindal, Santorum, etc) drop out fairly soon.

Why does Santorum drop out? He doesn't have anything better to do with his life, his campaign is ~living off the land~, and he has the memory of his 2012 surge to cling to.

Like, Jindal and Christie have actual jobs they should be doing. Santorum and Pataki can just... hang out.

Very heartened to wake up to the GOP presidential field attacking CNBC and reality itself for being mean. Nothing makes you a more obvious loser in America than whining about the refs. Nothing says Reagan-esque like crying to mommy that cnbc was mean to you.

Though his tone is a bit much, I'll remind you that Boosted toxxed for Mitt last time around with only slightly less bombast about how right he was, how wrong we all were, and how skewed all the polls suggesting anything else were. Though Boosted may not be 100% serious at all times, I doubt he's actually trolling.

Also what's logical from the outside probably isn't anything like how the candidates see things. If you're the kind of person who's enough of a megalomaniac to think you should run the country, and are constantly surrounded by a bunch of people saying you can and will run the country, dropping out probably seems unthinkable until you absolutely have to face it.

You also have to believe that every campaign thinks Trump and Carson will both flame out, and thus their current ~45% level of support makes the difference between polling at 3% and polling at 8% pretty trivial. I'm not saying that they're correct, mind you. But it's easy to imagine that they each have some variation of "when that finally happens, I'll be the brash tell-it-like-it-is guy" or "when that finally happens, I'll finally be able to get some media coverage" or some other variation.

Yeah, any day now people are going to be flocking to Pataki, the candidate whose campaign is funded entirely by bake sales.
