I cant see many more comments like that coming out before one inevitably insults his base and trump gets his own "bigger than jesus" moment.

either that or a large subset of americans are actively getting off on being negged by a cartoon billionaire.

That's probably right, and it makes sense, because I think half the people in this thread could make a more professional ad than that in Windows Movie Maker. Seriously, it looks like something a high school kid did.

Sportsbook lines have also been swinging heavily towards Trump the past few days. He is at -110 to win the Republican nomination on 5dimes. The odds of anyone but Trump winning are -130. Put down $1,000 against the Donald and you can make a nice $769 if he doesn't win!

One of my favorite things about how the Trump brand works is his put a giant Rolls-Royce logo on the engines of his planes. Rolls-Royce the airplane engine manufacture that has absolutely nothing to do with the luxury car maker, their main competitors are Pratt & Whitney and GE, yes, the same GE that makes lovely refrigerators.

It's just such a weird thing to brag about, they aren't any nicer than a GE engine or a Pratt & Whitney engine, the airplane manufactures bid out the engines and typically offer two variants that customers select because of existing vendor relationships, parts availability, etc.

It's just such an utterly bizarre thing to name drop on your plane engine, no one gives a poo poo except the maintenance crew but he obviously puts that on there so people will associate the car company and think he has a extra fancy engine. BMW makes Rolls-Royce car engines. Since they own them, just like they make the Mini engines.

Eh, I guess the Rolls logos on the Trump 757 are shinier than most, but it's not that out of the ordinary. Plenty of commercial airliners have little logos for the engine manufacturers, and not even just the Rolls-Royce powered ones.

edit: example in commercial service.

edit 2: Pratt and Whitney logos on the engines.

One thing about this primary is that if Jeb Bush had been dominating the polls for the past 8 months like Trump has, we wouldn't even be having a primary discussion and Jeb would be campaigning for the by general now. But because it's Trump we still have Nate Silver and every other news outlet saying "Oh well we'll see! Anything can happen!".

Let me answer your question with another question: How can you actually tell whether Trump's particular segment of the primary population will turn out before a single primary or caucus?

I think we should keep in mind that he's crushing everywhere but Iowa with likely voters too. And in Iowa, among likelies, he's still neck-and-neck with Cruz and beating him according to half the polls.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

I shouldn't find this funny any more, this entire primary is like season 8 of a really good, down-to-earth show where they ran out of ideas back in around season 3 so they're leaning on nonsense with no clear plan. Doondle Tramp the hilarious one-off character whose shenanigans led to the president trolling a media correspondents dinner with a clip from "The Lion King" is getting too much facetime but remains strangely hypnotic.

"But Trump voters are too stupid/lazy/ignorant to actually go out and vote for him" is pretty much the last psychological barrier people who started out this year saying /'He'll never run in the first place" have left to fall back on.

I may have been horribly wrong about Jeb! and dumb to ignore the Florida politics posters who were warning us all, but I am willing to bet still that Trump's VP pick is going to be a body double Trump

One so eerily similar to him that the GOPe will wonder if he has tanks of Trump clones ready to go at any time as a way to skirt term limits. Trump will become Emperor for life and he'll do so with the blessing of the founding fathers

Yes, but you can change your primary affiliation in any primary by just requesting their party ballet. You are also locked into any run off for the party you voted in the primary for.
