A Neurotic Jew posted:Cruz and Trump seem like the only candidates who actually want to win. And Fiorina I guess. I think Christie genuinely expected everyone to pretend his "bi-partisan rear end in a top hat" schtick wasn't already exposed, or maybe he figured the weak field would look worse in comparison.

I know he wants to peak late but it seems like now would be the right time and he's not really doing much. He probably just wants to be the next governor of Florida.

Evangelicals are insanely susceptible to MLM schemes and other types of fraud that sensible people would see through. They fit exactly the profile of "fraud victim", psychologically. They THINK they know more than everyone else, and lack the self-reflective capacity or humility necessary not to be taken in - remember, arrogant people make the best marks.

Cruz apparently made a campaign donation shakedown appearance here today and the local news interviews with the crowd are pretty lol. "I like Cruz because he doesn't take PAC money and vote like they want him to." Yeah, the guy who has so many PACs that he can't even name them all something different is notorious for his not being tied to PAC money, grandma.

Montasque posted:Don Lemon cuts off right-wing talk radio host for calling Bill Clinton a "serial sexual harasser'. I don't usually watch CNN. Is it common for Don Lemon to be discussing things with what appears to a random Trump Supporter pulled off the street and some random shock jock I never heard of? The entire premise of this segment confuses me. I don't have much of any respect for Don Lemon but why exactly does he care what these people think? It kind of went how I expected it to go.

Just now on Fox: Greta: Why weren't you there for the Senate bill vote? Rubio: Because Washington stinks! Greta: That's your job... And Ted Cruz showed up... Rubio: I was running for President so we no longer have bills like this! Greta: I'm not going to beat a dead horse, but um... you know how I feel about showing up for your job. EDIT: How long as Rubio talked about building a wall? Because on Greta he is saying he wants to build a wall...
