I am gonna take a guess that the demographic that is going for soft spoken and optimistic candidates will mostly shuffle over to Rubio.

Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.
Assuming a total breakdown of his support (which won't happen for at least a few weeks) the next debate will be the key to determining that. Carson's support is a crazy brew of evangelicals, washington-outsiders, non establishment, "serious thinkers/adults in the room", and with a healthy dollop of not-trump.

Fiorina's already been tossed aside. Rubio is the establishment fallback darling. Huckabee's only gravitas is from gravity. Christie is an Obama-hugging RINO. Jeb!...lol.

This next debate will be one to watch closely. Whoever's shiniest afterwards has a real shot at breaking 40%+. Not that it means much 3 months from Iowa, but...

The Club for Growth gave Donald Trump a ringing endorsement for the general election a couple days ago, though it won't help him in the primary.
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election/article42977022.html

quote:

The conservative Club for Growth has released a “White Paper” on Donald Trump and it’s unsurprisingly not complimentary.

The group -- which has publicly tussled with the real estate magnate -- says its conclusion is that the contender for the Republican presidential nomination “would not be a pro-growth president.”

Club for Growth President David McIntosh said Trump held “anti-growth” positions on taxes, trade, entitlements and government regulations before 2015 “and still defends a massive government role in health care, a mostly hands-off approach to entitlement reform, and protectionist policies that would likely spark trade wars and lead to higher business and consumer costs.”

Club for Growth’s political action committee announced in August it would steer donations to Sens. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, along with former Gov. Jeb Bush and Gov. Scott Walker, who has since dropped out of the race.

Trump on the campaign trail has accused the group of writing a bad mouthing him because he wouldn’t contribute $1 million. A spokesman at the time said it was Trump who had indicated an interest in donating to the group.

"But that doesn’t change the fact that the Club for Growth PAC thinks he’s an unserious candidate and would make a terrible president, just as we publicly pointed out during his last political publicity stunt in 2011," spokesman Doug Sachtleben said at the time.

In its review of Trump’s policies, the Club says, among other things, that Trump’s “hostility towards free trade is unmatched by any other major presidential candidate, with the possible exception of Bernie Sanders” who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination.

It notes that Trump has frequently given to Democrats and “anti-growth Republicans who later left the party,” including former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist.

“While Trump has clearly touched a nerve with Americans who are frustrated with Washington, his approach to politics is not unlike the worst of Washington politicians,” the group says. “Instead of taking consistent and principled stands, he has jumped on popular bandwagons.”

Carson's decline already started before today, Iowa returning to the mean:

quote:

The real estate mogul wins 25 percent of likely Republican caucusgoers in the poll, compared to 23 percent for retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

The latest CNN survey in Iowa finds Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in third place, with 13 percent, and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) following closely behind at 11 percent.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush follows at 5 percent, with former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal taking 4 percent each.

"Wonderful" is an adjective that's never appropriate for use in conjunction with The Valley. Oh, it may have been a pastoral getaway for the rich and famous back in the '30s, but that paradise was divided and subdivided yet again. What exists now is a soulless, cement grid of streets and alleys superimposed upon a landscape comprised of shitbox bungalows and interspersed with a network of mini-malls and fast-food joints. Amidst all of this swarms the restless scavengers who will steal anything and everything not nailed down or locked up at all times.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Ben Carson is just going to spend the rest of his campaign yelling at the media. This is what I think will sink him. He's utterly incapable of saying "Yeah, I misspoke a bit. I wasn't offered a scholarship, the process was just introduced to me and I passed before it went further. Sorry for that confusion." He has to say "You're all liars! You're all unfair! Why didn't you ask Obama about any of the things I'm going to bring up now because obviously you did talk about it which is why I know about it? Its unfair!" His narcissism is apparent and he can't just eat a tiny bit of poo poo to make it go away.

Also I still think Trump is going to troll him out of the campaign with "Merry Christmas"'s.

Fuck the DH
I don't understand this thinking that Trump is somehow uniquely a Devil-Hitler, at least not just yet.

The really disturbing thing is that over a dozen candidates agree with 90% of what he says, and are distinguishing themselves on the remaining 10%. It's refreshing to see the GOP platform recited by a clown rather than someone pretending to be a serious politician. Finally, this is the correct messenger that this message has always deserved but for 25 years has pretended to be principled political thought.
