It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

Literally everyone has selected Trump to win except for me :eyepop:

Trump not winning based on what the polls say would be a... surprising outcome, to say the least.

He wished it could be as respectable and orthodox as spying. But somehow in his hands the traditional tools and attitudes were always employed toward mean ends: cloak for a laundry sack, dagger to peel potatoes, dossiers to fill up dead Sunday afternoons ...

What's interesting is that he has made it pretty clear that even though his following loves him because it's clear what he is and he's authentic, he's actually faking it. He plans to change drastically as soon as he has gotten his supporters to get him where he needs to go, because how awful would he be if he actually tried to act like what his supporters like on the world stage?

Actually his supporters are fine with this. They only care he deports as many as he can, BUILDS WALL, protects 2nd amendment and negotiates the best economy. The specifics of anything but immigration and guns are irrelevant to most of them, it's why he can get away with having anti-conservative stances.

True but i figured his attack ads would be less...like a normal but effective attack ad, as that one was. Isnt this his first attack ad?

Also, as long as Trump wins I'll finally get to see if my theory public Trump support will boom (not polls, public support) as all the Boosteds get to feel like Trumpianism is mainstream now.

It looks like the odds of Kasich getting second place has spiked on Predictit for no apparent reason - has something leaked? It keeps going up but I can't find any news about it, wondering if someone got their hands on exit polls or the like.

It's very possible since we're getting the first exit polls in about 20 minutes.

It might be because of his google traffic numbers - people are noticing he's the most googled candidate today.

I fully expect Trump to under preform, but if he does not win tonight I will lose all faith in polls going forward. My best guess is that there's a sobering effect in the voting booth where the thought of voting for a reality TV star sets in and you pull the lever for the next least objectionable candidate. In Iowa it was Rubio, in New Hamphsire it could be Kasich. Either way it's clear, the people who go in planning to vote for Trump but can't follow through....are pussies.

But if he wins one state, he becomes a "realistic" prospect, as opposed to a vague hope, perhaps?

Alternately, if he overperforms there might actually be something to the idea that people are willing to pull the Lever of Shame in private but won't do it in a caucus when they're surrounded by their neighbors. Or on a phone poll with a live interviewer vs. an automated one.

There was some positive polling for him yesterday. It's possible that even the illusion of momentum for Kasich could consolidate support behind him, like Santorum in Iowa in 2012.

If it's not Trump AND it's not Cruz, then I'm making a stand this year. NO MORE being a good little lemming for the elites. I'll write in Trump if it's Rubio vs. Clinton, or I'll vote for Bernie if it's Rubio vs. Bernie.

I'm not gonna take it anymore.

To be fair, it's not that the entire establishment hates cruz, it's everyone, everywhere, who has ever had to spend any time with the guy or work with the guy. It's really amazing how widely he is personally loathed.
