NH seems like Trump's best shot, but I just don't see it. He's not the sort of retail politician that can thrive in NH at the primary level, and I think his support in polling isn't going to translate to voters showing up on Tuesday.

I just have no clue where else anyone will go. The entire field is such a loving clown car...

NH went for Buchanan. It's not unthinkable they'll go for Trump.

Yeah, I guess that's what it was meant to be. I think I just gave Rubio more credit than he deserved. In fairness, I think a lot of people did, haha

I don't think Rubio was damaged as much as everyone thinks. He still got his talking points out and recovered nicely for the remainder of the debate. Also got the most speaking time.

My wife dropped him like a rock. It was TERRIBLE. The second half recovery doesn't matter, because the damage was already done.

Total fraud, Ken Doll candidate.

CNN hitting Cruz for lying at the debate in regards to the Ben Carson ratfuckery in Iowa.

Yeah, Trump won the debate because Rubio and Cruz slipped. Rubio's malfunction is the big story coming out of this... Dude shat the bed hard.

Not unthinkable, no, but Buchanan was a better politician than Trump is.

That said, I think Trump had a good night. I have this funny feeling that he won't run away with it, and that Rubio's meh-to-bad performance tonight is going to keep the field crowded until Super Tuesday.

Ted Cruz, at least, has endorsed a wall, though not necessarily the 30-foot monster across the entire border that Trump wants. The other Republicans are mostly coming out for segments of wall at particularly popular crossing areas rather than the entire wall. This proposal's actually worse than Trump's because it'd just force even more migrants into dying of thirst in the Sonora Desert.

Christie by default since she doesn't like Trump, thinks Cruz is sleeze, and Carson isn't qualified.

But more important to me, she cracked JUST A LITTLE and said "Trump didn't really turn me off tonight like he has in all the other debates"

Trump's face turn is working. She'll never vote for him, but some will.

At a certain point in this race I stopped wondering "This guy is a brilliant neurosurgeon?" and started wondering "This guy can dress and feed himself?" about the illustrious Dr. Carson. Every day he gets more and more pathetic. His performance tonight would've been career-ending if he were actually still relevant.

We've actually established that no, Carson can't dress himself.

in 2012 romney talking about 'self-deportation' was the thing that democrats hammered home in the general, and he ended up losing the hispanic vote pretty badly. the gop briefly attempted to 'evolve' on that issue right after the election

there isn't a single gop candidate in 2016 who can come close to romney's level of moderation on that issue. i dunno maybe kasich? you're right that the wall and the surveillance state backing it up seems to have been accepted as a plank in their platform

the gop's hope is either that a lot of hispanics decided to hate immigrants in the last four years or that a shitload of white people are going to go 'hell yeah!!' and swamp the hispanic vote

if things happen along the lines of 2012 they're basically taking the hole they dug for themselves back then and digging it to china

Like 90% of the time yeah you can do a real write-in campaign, though it tends to only succeed in small towns, because it's hard to get millions of people to remember to write you in

Usually yes there's a keyboard or whatever if write in is an option, or the machine punches a hole for write-in and you use a pen.

We've had two successful write-in candidates at a federal level recently, ofc: Lisa Murkowski for AK-Senate in 2010, and Shelley "Dracula oval office" Sekula-Gibbs in the House in 2006.
