Holy poo poo, Trump either stumped himself or is pivoting earlier than expected. Asked which democrats he could get along with, he listed Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. He also told Mika that he always watches the show, "only because of you, Mika" and she had to collect herself mid-schoolgirl giggle. Not judging, but he knows how to work the media and consistently delivers personal compliments to men and women who are neutral to positive.

This is old, but when Christie was asked by a wavering young woman in NH about her family being back in NJ and the flooding out there (which has resulted in hundreds evacuated in Cape May County), Christie tore into her asking, "what should i do, pick up a mop?"

Top Bunk Wanker posted:You would think that at some point in the last two weeks, there would have been one person who publicly admitted they thought Ted Cruz was... well, maybe not necessarily okay, but that they didn't think he was complete pond scum. I think it's probably better that Cruz win a major party's nomination then an openly racist demagogue, but half of that feeling is just because he'd be a bigger disaster in the general and because the chances for a brokered convention decrease dramatically if Cruz loses Iowa.

mastershakeman posted:What was the polling showing this time last year with santorum? Basically I'm wondering if anyone not named Cruz or Trump can realistically win Iowa We're currently six days before the caucuses. The poll that generated the Santorum surge came out six days before the caucuses (12/28/11), before which he was in the single digits tied with the rest of the pack. That poll not only showed Santorum gaining, but Gingrich losing. The analogue would be a poll released tomorrow showing Rubio tanking and a Jeb! surge, I guess. But the Santorum surprise was different because it was a sign that the logjam of evangelical support had cleared and settled on a candidate. The three leading candidates (Romney, Paul, and Gingrich) were not loved by evangelicals for obvious reasons, but their candidates (Perry, Bachmann, Santorum) were all tied up in the high single digits, splitting the evangelical vote. This time there's no danger of that happening because Cruz wrapped up their support a month ago. I don't think a single poll can reverse that within a week, it would take a couple of weeks of sustained collapse and all of Cruz's endorsers like VanderPlaats and Co. to switch allegiance. But who knows?

That's probably just Delay setting up the pins with the intent to knock them down later, no matter what the FBI eventually recommends. Also, if the DOJ indicts Hillary, I think Joe Biden's inbox is going to be completely slammed with people telling him he should have gotten over his dead son and not been such a baby. Which is pretty mean and heartless - but alternatively, TRUMP 2016. e: ^the 2012 Santorum Surge butt plug. The only perfect answer to, "what gift do you give a man who has everything?"

This time 4 years ago, Gingrich had a 2 point RCP national lead. 8 years ago, Giuliani had a 4 point RCP lead. Both were already in decline. Donald J. Trump today has a SEVENTEEN point RCP lead with no sign of decline. ANY DAY NOW....

Patter Song posted:A. Clinton may, in fact, be in deep poo poo. Whether or not she's in deep poo poo depends SOLELY on the director of the FBI and the attorney general. There is NO intent element to the crime and there is already more than enough information out in the public with which to convict her, nevermind anything the public doesn't know yet. We know FOR A FACT she violated the law. Whether she meant to, whether or not materials were clearly marked as classified when she sent or received them, whether or not she even knew at the time that this poo poo was on the PRIVATE E-MAIL SERVER she had set up to circumvent the government's system, is relevant ONLY to public opinion and totally IRRELEVANT in terms of the law. The only question is whether or not she will, as a major candidate for President and the obvious heir to leadership of the party post-Obama, receive special treatment & a pass. And she only needs it from ONE of the 2 aforementioned people. FBI doesn't refer = she gets away with it. FBI refers BUT AG declines to prosecute = she gets away with it.

 Ted Cruz's father is an insane dominionist and Christian Reconstructionist. His father legit believes that public education is a sinister communist plot. Ted Cruz's father has been ghosting his son's campaign with speaking events intended to bolster Cruz's evangelical credentials. Yet, Ted Cruz is so nasty and vile that he's failing to hold the evangelical vote in Iowa against Donald J. Trump.

Comey has an allegedly incorruptible reputation when it comes to not giving a poo poo about politics (if he says there is nothing, even the GOP will have to accept it), and if obama tells the AG not to prosecute after the FBI recommends indictment it would be a shitstorm that would hurt the dems' prospects for november. it's really all in Comey's hands

It'd actually be worse than indicting her, which would almost certainly have her withdraw from the Democratic primary and the Democrats putting in a new candidate who isn't in blatant violation of the Espionage Act. If the indictment comes down in April-June after Clinton already has a delegate lock her delegates would even be able to pick a nominee with no risk of Bernie sneaking in.
