Mike Huckabee offers us the 'middle way' of compassionate christian conservatism, wherein the US invades a country far away from both the US and Syria, annexes some of their land, builds an encampment, and then invites Syrians to enjoy their new home far away from the US.

Trump's polling has always been correlated to his media attention. He'd been in a rut and not doing anything exciting for a month, so he had to bust out that "rant" last week. He'll have to keep escalating the insanity to sustain his lead.

This week's edition is boring on the 2015 side. No new polls since the last edition, just a few old polls falling off (creating a new all-time low for Jeb!). On the 2011 side we have the end of the era of 999.

Short post today because there isn't much to say. Next week's should be far more interesting. Watch as Newt Gingrich surpasses Romney as his numbers shoot up to the Moon. Sadly, the universe wasn't just enough to give us a President :newt:.

I'm eager to see how Trump finally going Full Trump on Carson has affected the polling. My hypothesis (source: my rear end) is that it will have minimal net effect, as the people who leave Trump over attacking Friend Ben and the people who leave Carson due to the insinuation that he could slip up and become the stereotypical Raging Black Man will mostly cancel each other out. I'm guessing we'll see movement but not more than 2% in any direction.

Boosted, much like his preferred GOP candidate, decided he's being upstaged by Smoothrich in the "insane crap" department and so busted out some lines about how all Syrian refugees are parasites and/or ISIS infiltrators, but unlike his idol lacks the ability to shittalk effectively and so it came off as more boring than offensive.

I'm not sure if your mean the candidates or the shitposters, so I'll answer both.

Boosted jumped on the "This proves refugees are actually ISIS" bandwagon, smoothrich did... whatever it is he does, I'm still not sure what his point was but he was fired up about it.

As for the candidates, the only terrible response I'm aware of was from Jeb!, who came out and said that the attack happened because Obama pulled out of Iraq while the attack was still going on..

Don't the actual candidates get cheaper airtime, or is that general election only?

I remember the Romney PACs burning money like crazy last round because the TV stations were free to charge them whatever the gently caress they felt like.

The consistent line I see is that, contrasted with campaigns, Super PACs do not get "preferred rates".

http://www.wsj.com/articles/for-donald-trump-being-his-own-super-pac-has-its-advantages-1437755846

quote:

TV stations are required to give candidates the “lowest unit rate” in the 45 days before a primary election, and before that must still charge a reasonable rate. While other candidates are also entitled to the lowest rate, the majority of the funds backing their campaigns will likely land in the outside groups backing them.

Outside groups face prices driven by the market, and the supply-and-demand dynamics in such a crowded primary are certain to send advertising rates skyrocketing. Mr. Bush’s allies estimated earlier this week that it would cost nearly $60 million just to run 10 days’ worth of advertising in the first 30 primary states. The former Florida governor’s super PAC has already raised $103 million-nearly 10 times as much as Mr. Bush’s campaign took in.

An unlimited access to funds could also allow Mr. Trump to stay in the race far longer than other candidates, who may face fundraising constraints. Under federal law, individual donations to a candidate are capped at $2,700. Since Trump isn’t relying on anyone else for money, that restriction is essentially meaningless. Mr. Trump did accept $100,000 in contributions in the second quarter, but doesn’t appear to be actively soliciting outside cash.

“I don’t need anybody’s money.…I don’t care. I’m really rich,” Mr. Trump said when he announced his candidacy. He has $300 million in cash and liquid assets, his campaign confirmed.

If Trump is stingy with his money, yet seriously wants to win, 45 days before Iowa is mid-December. We'll see then how many ads he buys.
