I'm doubling down that some version of this is correct. Anyone think tonight is good or bad evidence of a similar plot? Oiled and Ready posted:Tightened up my crazy conspiracy theory:

I watched Rubio die. I was there. I watched him overstump, and choke to death. I could have saved him. But I didn't. *Rince Preibus goes slack and is dragged away by Trump supporters*

That said, Trump (and everyone in his class) has enough money to do... anything, really. Trump might "only" have like one billion dollars, but in terms of converting wealth into fame, he's really pretty amazing.

I mean if you ask the average schlub to name "someone rich", Donald Trump is going to come up statistically far more often than much, much richer people. He branded wealth. He sucks butthole but he's good at one thing: getting attention.

Patter Song posted: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. Carson's support does not and has never come from having a substantive position on the issues or his skill as an orator. He's seen as a Smart Guy thanks to his background in neurosurgery (which will never be called into question in a debate), and an uncorruptable Good Guy, who happens to have an (R) next to his name and make all of the noises that the Republican orthodoxy expects. He stayed on message tonight by continuously taking the high road wrt Cruz ratfuckery in Iowa, and continued to promote the Ben Carson brand. I predict bumper sales on the upcoming book tour. lmao

The Nastier Nate posted:In Trump's defense, several casino's in Atlantic City have gone bankrupt, and they weren't all Trump's. 20 years ago, the only places you could legally play blackjack in this country were AC, Vegas and Indian casinos. Now just every state in the northeast has casino's as nice as in Atlantic City, and they have free parking and the best part is, for me anyway, is that I don't have to drive 2 hours to the Jersey shore, but rather 10 minutes outside Philadelphia. There are a lot of lovely business ventures that Trump has been involved in that deserve to be called out (Trump steaks, Trump University) but I wouldn't include his casino failures as one of them. One of the best moments from the first debate is Trump pretty much calling New Jersey an economic shithole then the camera moves to Christie who just stands there not disagreeing.

Mitt Romney posted:From Josh Marshall TPM: The problem is he has basically 48 hours before the vote and tomorrow will be drowned out by super bowl chatter and any Google search for those that didn't watch tonight will be overflowing with the "4 times" video. That leaves a quick Monday to stem any bleeding and that's not enough time. Rubio had his chance in the spotlight and blew it. Last minute undecideds and people-formerly-known-as-jeb!-supporters will trend away from Rubio. His 3-2-1 plan is in serious jeopardy after his performance tonight.

Mitt Romney posted:From Josh Marshall TPM: Edit: guy above me gets it. This ain't iowa. In most states, you're right. But it's New Hampshire. This will kill him, no question. He can recover but not in NH. Ton of independents vote, people are a bit more engaged, their media locally is more strident. The only way this hurts him going forward is i think it'll kill his 3-2-1 excuse for being the only nominee in recent history to lose the first two states. Plus, as I've explained, ever since Trump had the balls to do Alex Jones drudge has backed him. Expect drudge to link all these articles, and even middle-aged tech-newb conservatives read drudge.

Despera posted:Panel Gangs Up on Marco Rubio Eh, probably doesn't help. Like I alluded to earlier, the real danger to Rubio is that his support seems soft in many areas. That said, where would it go? Kasich/Christie/Jeb would be my guess, but I don't see it splitting evenly even if it does ebb away. In recent memory, NH polls seem highly predictive of the eventual winner but that winner underperforms in the voting relative to their polls. That puts the racist at +10, and I think the LV screen is probably hosed on Trump voters anyway, which means we could see a maximum hilarity result of a field that remains highly divided with no single candidate walking away a clear winner from NH.

Let's dispel this fiction once and for all that I did not graduate the top of my class in the Navy Seals, and that I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I know exactly what I am doing - I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another systematic effort to change this country and make America more like the rest of the world. If I'm elected I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. I will embrace what makes America the greatest country in the world. You’re loving dead, kiddo.

Literally 60 seconds after that exchange i dumped 50 bucks into 2c for nomination Christie and 50 into 8c Kasich. And 50 more into Rubio "NO". I can't see how I don't turn a profit. To guess Tuesday: 1. TRUMP 2. Kasich 3. Cruz 4. Rubio 5. Christie

CortezFantastic posted:You learn zero lessons from how the GOP works. Reality means nothing. Messaging is all that matters. Just simply repeating something over and over makes it the truth eventually. People in this very forum believe old tired Clinton lies simply because they were constant pounded on until they were truth. Sort of, but they couldn't stop net neutrality and Trump did all he could to get people to watch this debate and distrust FOX and trust Drudge and also to notice Marco sweating. 6 months of Trump hammering 10 different points that nullify the media and GOPe messaging, every. Single. Debate. And rally. And interview. I think it's enough in NH. in the south, the GOPe did his work for him by painting him as a racist uncontrollabe Hitler. They all are thinking, "FINALLY!"

The one nerd at the super bowl party tomorrow will show them this because 'check out this rear end in a top hat, wrecked by New Jersey reality freight train!" And it'll snowball. The superbowl makes this worse, not better, for Rubio. As i said before the debate, it's New Hampshire and people have 20 minutes to shoot poo poo while Coldplay is on mute.. Actually, come to think of it, Coldplay could cost Rubio the presidency. Hmmmmm. "When you try your best but you don't succeed" THREAD TITLE SUGGESTION: Marco, I will try...to fix you

Jesus H. Christ Rubio got absolutely dismantled by Christie. Which is weird because Rubio seems like the most eloquent of the candidates- but when he repeated that poo poo about Obama's policies being deliberate for the 3rd time, he just walked into a drat sawblade. Hard to watch.
