What is the fallout if Marco actually is gay or bi? He looks like a hypocrite for all his annulling gay marriage stuff. BUT, maybe it would be like a feel good story that he came out finally and it would give him a huge boost. Maybe the GOPe doesn't want this out there in the primary b/c obv the first one happens. But in the general this could be the unleashing of Chang.
I'm pretty sure this would still demotivate enough core republican voters to cost him the general.

Was Barbara Bush really popular or something? Why the hell is Jeb! pushing her as some sort of secret weapon? Did he watch Season 3 of House of Cards where the wife was some sort of secret primary weapon and thought he could do the same with his mom? Is he trying for the Asian filial piety vote???

Jeb is he last scion of a fading dynasty, raised in privilege his whole life by a domineering mother he is obviously unable to correctly discern reality from his family's decades of lies. He's basically the Guangzu Emperor.

Monmouth did an interesting poll here where they re-contacted 263 voters they had contacted from January 23-26 to ask about how their caucusing went. A lot of interesting tidbits, but the real takeaway is here:

Interesting. So Trump's poor ground game actually did cost him Iowa. I wonder if that also means you apply an 87.5% multiplier to his current poll numbers in NH.

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.

Real interesting poll. If it becomes a trend that'll be something.

I'm surprised it was as bad as the no hopers, which was only twice that of the others. Well when I describe it as 200% it sounds appropriately dramatic.

His turnout rate was normal compared to most of the candidates, though. Cruz and Rubio had exceptionally good ground games and Carson's core of supporters seem to be particularly dedicated. Also I think you're supposed to say "muh" when you're doing the internet retard way of making fun of people.

He's leading with something like 29% to Rubio's 19% so even with the stay-home factor he still wins with ~25%.

Carson loses his poo poo when people go at him. We don't really notice it because no one has cared about Carson except for those 2 weeks he was leading, but during that thing he was basically having an extended meltdown every time someone questioned anything he said or did. He was calling press conferences to tell media to stop talking about him and declaring that its not media's job to ask questions. Carson's got a thinner skin than Trump.

And in this case his general martyr complex is actually kind of justified because Carson really did ratfuck him. So he might not let it go.

I'm basically counting on the SEC to save us from Rubio and Cruz. #1 in Football, hopefully #1 in making the right choice and choosing Trump.

http://overtimepolitics.com/pollingdata/OvertimePolitics.comJan31-Feb2RepublicanPrimaryPoll-Alabama.pdf

Trumps leads Cruz 37% to 21% in Alabama.

Similar to his 36% to 20% lead here in South Carolina according to the RCP average of January polls here.

It's easy to forget that while Ben Carson might be a kindly old retired doctor who falls asleep randomly in public these days, he also did grow up poor in Detroit and tried to kill a guy.

If what I expect to happen on Saturday and then Tuesday comes to fruition, you're going to see Carson stay in to siphon votes from Cruz/Rubio (like Huckabee did to Romney in 2008), Bush/Christie/Kasich stubbornly refusing to leave because they're all 100x more qualified than Rubio, and Cruz collapsing after coming in 4th or 5th place following a pummeling at the debate.

I would like to see a Christie-Trump unity ticket announced right now. It would be unstoppable.

I like Chris Christie and wouldn't mind seeing him in Trump's VP slot now that Cruz showed his true treasonous colors.

I WAS thinking Rubio, but now that the establishment and the elites have made it know he's their horse i.e. he will play ball/obey orders, we can't have him one step away from the big chair.
