Kasich and Fiorina are my least favorite by far and I am quite angry at CNN for making rules that keep them in.

The Tennessee First In the South Primary (due to its 1864 readmission) will become a big deal indeed.

I find the political fringes extremely fascinating and entertaining. For the most part it's just monkey noises and impotent rage, and I get a lot of schadenfreude from it.

They are. Rush has more listeners, but Levin sets the tone of the conservative movement. Rush is an entertainer first and foremost, thats why he has bigger numbers than Levin, but Levin's fanbase is far more engaged and scary.

I believe Levin is off until the new year, which means Ted Cruz will be sort of left exposed on that flank. Levin is Cruz's biggest fan on talk radio, and has been looking for an excuse to poo poo on Trump for months now.

Levin is also unlistenable, his show is just a long series of angry rants. So of course Ted Cruz fanboys love Levin.

Same I'm getting real loving tired of them.

Kasich has "I balanced the budget" (under a Democrat) and that's loving it, it gets boring hearing it for the 18th time in a row.

Fiorina should just gently caress off and die already for being partially responsible for a domestic terrorism incident.

He's at least entertaining in a petulant toddler way. I especially love his grade school insult nicknames like The Washington Compost and New York Slime. And then he'll give a baby's first history lesson to his very educated and informed audience.

People like Hannity though are awful and completely not entertaining.

I hate Hannity the most and this is the reason why. Everything about them is :smug: while Rush & Co sound like they are about to have strokes on air.

Beck is a special case where his :beck: is entertaining despite his attempted seriousness because it is so nonsense.
