That's been one of my pet theories for a while now, and I will laugh until the end of time if it turns out I'm right. radical meme posted:I don't want Trump to ever drop out now because he may be the only person that could stop a Cruz nomination. Cruz is a lesser demon straight out of The Screwtape Letters. Cruz is a world-class poo poo, but I think he screwed any chances he may have had (which were vanishingly small to begin with) by trying to hitch his cart to Trump's horse early on, in the mistaken hope of gathering in his followers when Trump flamed out after a month or two.

Trump and Cruz seem to have a silent Hunger Games alliance going, when all the other tributes are dead, the Capital will demand one more kill.

Cruz could never win the presidency because he's a phenomenally ugly man. And before you say Nixon, Nixon didn't live in a 24 hour news cycle

I hope Jeb‽'s "gently caress Rubio" campaign sets a new norm for this primary, with every GOP candidate on the decline just relentlessly blueshelling the most electable-seeming candidate left in the field.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't call it "liberal" bias, since if you watched the predebate coverage the CNBC pundits were decrying college kids who they assumed were all voting for Bernie Sanders. But it seemed like a case of "very serious" people trying to bring down the not serious candidates (Trump, Carson) while also trying to get the Republicans to fight each other for ratings. I did find it laughable when Ted Cruz yelled at them and accused them of prompting Kasich to attack the frontrunners when he did that poo poo entirely on his own.

Don't worry about it. Romney ran the same scheme with a bunch of his issues and surprise surprise those questions don't go away, they just get asked in a much bigger venue and are scrutinized even closer. Sure it's effective and impresses the base when you decide to talk about the moderators and poo poo but it's the campaign equivalent of skipping out on homework to play videogames. This will all hurt when it counts and in approximately 1 week absolutely no one on earth will care that the nobodies at cnbc werent good moderators and that ted cruz noticed.

I liked the part where Fiorina said monopolies form because they need to keep up with big government. Not because they have incentives to conglomerate and corner markets, but because they need to compete with the federal government. It's like she thinks Standard Oil was formed in response to the Sherman Act.
