So you're telling me that I can root for Trump as both the schadenfreude option where I hate American politics and want to see the Republicans choke on their own poo poo and die, *and* as the responsible 'least harm' candidate because President Trump will be so hated by everyone he will never actually accomplish anything? This is like a dream come true.

Just please assure me there aren't enough tea party asshat politicians out there who are secretly waiting for someone like Trump to come along so they can give voice to all their worst policies to actually implement anything Trump says and I can go back to hate watching the debates and not feeling a gnawing sense of terror that one of those men (sorry Fiorina, but I think we all know it's not happening) has a non-zero chance of being the next President of the United States.
You can, and given Cruz and Rubio are the likely alternatives, I really think you should. Trump would have no patience for the doubletalk necessary to keep the GOP as it exists alive after 2016. It's accelerationism that will take place with or without you http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3680205&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1962#post453280390

I think tea party asshat politicians are going to be as incentivized as ever to be awful regardless of the general result. If it's Bernie, the MSM will want a rebellion, if it's clinton, we'll just continue the current one with the persistent white terrorism, if it's Rubio or Cruz, the democrats might turn up to the midterms, and if it's Trump everything turns into golf course so who the gently caress knows.

Vote Bernie in the primary, clinton in the general

The best thing about living in a deep red state in a primary year is that my primary vote will actually make a difference. My general election vote won't matter because electoral college, but my primary vote at least has meaning because there will be so few of them cast.

quote:

He liked “the contemporary gospel message,” the simplicity of the focus on the scriptures, of Christ Fellowship—but what he really wanted, and needed, he thought, was “the actual body and blood of Jesus.”

Could this be the origin of the water thing?

one paragraph later posted:

This was in May of 2008. “Let me finish with one more thought, and this is just the truth, and I hope no one gets offended—no one should,” Rubio said. “And that is this.” He took a sip of ice water from a styrofoam cup, seeming to gird himself.

Yep.

if santorum really wanted to be the catholic right winger candidate he shouldve abandoned his family become a monk and whenever he got hungry or thirsty he could just perform mass and eat and drink literal jesus. the bread has carbs, the wine has ethanol

he would be drunk as hell in a soiled sweater vest, he'd be the anointed candidate of god, and photagraphers could still take pictures of his crying kids

he believes in a woman's right to choose but also in protecting unborn child life, basically. with a few words to make clear what follows from the framing; the woman can't choose to kill the baby even if it's from rape or incest. then christie earnestly took up the gauntlet of defending the right of the mother to kill her incest/rape baby. republican politics are weird

oh also rubio said democrats are the real abortion extremists

gop establishment types have claimed that rubio's google searches spiked during his abortion talk. apparently it strikes a chord in the gop self-described moderate mind and they desperately want to believe that only liberal media clinton people are talking about the dispel notion obama is bla bla bla gaffe

I get a slightly higher-pitched Mark Wahlberg, personally.

Also boy, did this latest debate suck for Rubio - not just because he repeated himself so much, but because he also clearly can't handle the pressure without blowing a fuse.

Rubs gets so much criticism for being a relatively young first‐term senator, but Cruz has the same résumé.

The difference seems to be that Rubio isn’t a hideous meltman.

Has anyone put forward that Cruz and Rubio are both clones of Reagan, only with a Solid/Liquid split? Cruz has the inferior genes and Rubio is Liquid Snake.

I guess that makes Trump Solidus.
