Trump's reiteration of the "If I don't win this has been a complete and total waste of time" today at his rally solidified my opinion that he is 100% behind this thing. He's more passionate about his campaign more than any other candidate.

if they had just told him NO when the veto corleone thing got brought up maybe he would've learned his lesson about the loving puns i wonder how much of this is flailing as a response to/symptom of the trump thing, and how much of it would've come out anyway. he's been doing this kind of poo poo for a while, was trump a big deal when jeb was calling supergirl hot? i think in some ways the idea that trump has changed the game masks how deeply bad at the game jeb seems to be and yeah he was governor of florida but can you imagine rick scott running for president? oystertoadfish fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Dec 31, 2015 |

There's no way Jeb! isn't taking a dive at this point. I mean, for fucks sake, how can any one person be this bad at politics? I'm pretty sure the homeless guy on the street corner preaching the apocalypse is a better politician than Jeb!.

The question of which Bush is the smarter one strikes me as about as significant as whether you'd prefer a glass of water from the Love Canal or one from the Chernobyl exclusion zone, but since it's come up I feel I should point out the only real difference is that while both started out as upper class twits, only W had the low animal cunning to then pretend to be a backcountry bumpkin which both masked his ineptitude and appealed to a large voting bloc within the party.

Yeah if we're gonna play the comparison game, the biggest difference campaign wise is that GW was in the right place at the right time with the social skills to make the whole trick work

I hope in my heart of hearts for Trump to win first in the Iowa, NH, and SC primaries, to prove that, just as polling stations in bars was done away with the new media of yellow journalist in the gilded age, field side is a relic of pre-social media campaigns.

oystertoadfish posted:i think if jeb was still pudgy it would help. i feel like he'd look a little less loving silly. i dunno maybe i'm wrong Definitely true. His awkward posture and lack of knowing how to rest his arms/shoulders properly probably wouldn't be issues if he hadn't lost the weight. Although, I do think Jeb! could have overcome this in a Trumpless world, especially considering Romney had the demeanor of a robot and Mccain couldn't move his arms above a certain height. Trump's low energy attack really killed Jeb! in a way no normal politician would have and now all of these previously unnoticeable details about his demeanor are cast in a stronger, negative light.

Christie doesn't have any field operation outside of New Hampshire and is too lacking in fundraising to be the establishment guy. He's pretty much hoping everything will flood to him after a New Hampshire win/strong showing.

With Trump still polling above 30% as the year was closing out there was only one possible conclusion: a Seldon Crisis was upon them. Paul Ryan, dithering nervously, brought up the rear behind McConnell, Adelson, and both Koch brothers. As they filed into the auditorium and found seats the lights flashed on and a mist descended from the stage. Silently, a flickering hologram of an old man in a wheel chair became visible through the haze. He brushed his white wisps of hair aside and greeted the assemblage:

Marco Rubio is Jeb's protege, he studied at Jeb's feet. Rubio knows Jeb's strengths and weaknesses better than anyone in this thread, saw Jeb was running with more money than God, and thought, "I can take him" and ran for President. Think about that. That was months pre-Trump. Rubio's decision to run for president against Jeb is probably the biggest warning sign against Jeb there could possibly be. Now, without Trump, much like we wouldn't have gotten Scott Walker trying to one-up him by wanting a wall on the Mexican AND Canadian border (still one of my favorite moments), we wouldn't have gotten Jeb reduced to a pathetic gibbering baby. That said, I think Jeb's utter lack of political skill would have eventually shown through.

I'm not so sure, I think in a Trump-less race, Jeb! would be the clear establishment candidate while Cruz would be the grassroots frontrunner that everyone was trying to stump. Fortunately for Jeb!, Cruz' face is able to stump itself. Jeb! doesn't know how to handle a bully because, with all the power and priviledge he's been engrossed in throughout his life, he's always been the bully whenever he wanted to be. Now a bigger, richer bully is in the race, and Jeb!'s lost his edge.

It's hard to judge Rubio. There are points (usually after debates) where I feel like he has got to be the nominee, especially when he goes in hard on Bush. Then there's times where I hear nothing about him and it feels like he's just getting fuel for his memoirs or a run for the governorship.
