Montasque posted:Cruz: The Establishment is now behind Donald Trump! He's a crony capitalist! not me! And Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have the same Healthcare plan! I really like how Ted Cruz has gotten stumped so hard he's given up all pretense of any kind of coherent counterattack and has fallen back on the traditional Republican defense of "just say liberal a lot" like a meaningless catchphrase.

Montasque posted:I don't think Cruz is close to out of it yet, but this is his first real test, and so far he's failing. Well, that's the thing, Nate's argument about the huge majority of primary nomination candidates withering at the first sign of heightened scrutiny turned out to be right...for everyone except Trump. It's especially true for Ted Cruz, he peaked a little bit too early and now he's faltering under the spotlight. His strategy to draft on Donald Trump's campaign, hoping to avoid any fights and then pick off friendly supporters when Trump inevitably flamed out was a good one, and was uniquely suited to Ted's weasel-like personality. Unfortunately the media latched on to "Ted Cruz is the guy to beat in Iowa!". Under the heightened scrutiny of the media and the blistering multi-pronged assault of Trump (Cruz is a nasty guy who has no friends, Cruz is in the tank with the banks, Cruz is from Canada!), Cruz has to actually take the main stage and defend himself. But he can't, because Ted Cruz is a poo poo stain that everyone hates.

Oh remember when I said those Trump attacks against Hillary/Bill would actually do something... Well... ’90s Scandals Threaten to Erode Hillary Clinton’s Strength With Women quote:This month, Lena Dunham, wearing a red, white and blue sweater dress with the word “Hillary” emblazoned across the chest, told voters how Hillary Clinton had overcome sexism in her political career.

Unless you are advocating that the Seahawks and Steelers still have a chance at winning the Super Bowl because their odds were pretty strong at the beginning of the season. I know it's fun and cool to make fun of Nate Silver because of how he rails against pundits and claims his primary methodology has more support than it does, but the amount of misunderstanding how statistics work is embarrassing.

i don't know if gop strategists were hoping to keep this attack under wraps until after clinton won, so as to deny democrats the chance to pivot to sanders if clinton's numbers really start dropping, or if they would've considered sanders a better opponent and tried to tarnish clinton while she was still in the primary. normally campaigns are characterized by the ability to time the release of this sort of thing. but trump has a different sense of timing there's also this vague idea that someone else could still parachute in if clinton starts sinking this early in the process, but i dunno about that. people seem to have been considering biden the 'break glass in case of emergency' candidate for the democratic establishment a few months ago. maybe it's already too late oystertoadfish fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Jan 21, 2016 |

radical meme posted:The one bad thing about Cruz getting his nuts crushed this election is that he's going to be around for a long time. He's not up for reelection until 2018 and that's plenty of time to reinvent himself and make another run in 2020 or 2024. I'm pretty sure that would involve a lobotomy or decades of intense therapy and drugs because apparently it has never bothered him for his entire life on earth that no one that has ever interacted with him doesn't think he is a smug piece of poo poo rear end in a top hat.

Patter Song posted:Just a reminder, the Monmouth poll today asked GOP voters whether they thought Cruz was a natural born citizen and eligible to run for president. What percentage of democrats believe President Obama is a Muslim and/or Kenyan? I doubt the numbers differ that much from this Cruz thing.

Come to think of it, Harry should have given -1600% to Trump, then he could give 100% to every other candidate at the time and have his math still balance out. Dude missed an opportunity to predict the eventual nomination with 100% accuracy!
