You COULD interpret it that way, but the actual interpretation is that Trump was implying that if the economy was in good shape people wouldn't be flocking to his rallies. They're coming to him because they know they're being hosed over

Don't intentionally spread misinterpretations

"Don't intentionally spread misinterpretations" is a much better way to put that famous post of mine, "you have to read all of the words in a sentence, then interpret what they mean, then synthesize the concept being conveyed by those words" or however the hell I posted it several months ago.

You know, I kind of like Kasich, as a person. That, combined with him being the most liberal Republican candidate, makes him the anti-Cruz.

With 60% of precincts reporting in, is it conceivable that Cruz (11.7%), Bush (11.2%), or Rubio (10.7%) may slip below the viability threshold?

The moment you'll all been waiting for, betting market report: Rubio and Trump have switched places for the third time in about a month. Rubio is dangerously close to joining the losers' lane with Cruz and JEB, both of whom are approximately tied and doing better than they were pre-Iowa.

I'm not American, but if I were I would literally rather suck Donald Trump's yuuuge penis and vote for him, than vote for Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is the only candidate I literally wish ill toward on a personal level.

So far what I'm most surprised about is Trump hitting the polling numbers. I said it yesterday, but in recent memory the NH winner underperforms their polling. Either the LV screen is good - which lends more credence to other Trump polls - or Trump supporters tend to be very attached to the candidate. Both could be true simultaneously.

Yup, I found that interesting too. But if you look at the RCP average you'll see that the poll average under Trump was all over the place and not predictive of the results. This tells me that Trump's support might be able to be measured in primaries (sample of one) but nobody else's is.

So far it looks like Trump will get about 110% of his RCP poll average.

We now have solid evidence that the caucus format was what hurt Trump in Iowa, not an inability to get his support out.

I just talked to my folks, who were down in the US for holiday, and they honestly thought that, based on the bleeping on networks, Trump and/or Trump's supporter called Cruz a oval office, rear end in a top hat or fucker. When I told them it was actually "pussy", my Dad told my Mum, by way of yelling across the room, and she laughed.

Honestly, if y'all pussies are too pussy to hear "pussy" without feeling offended, Trump is the president you deserve.

Maybe it's stronger in the US than it is in Canada? I wouldn't use it around mixed company I wasn't familiar with, and dropping that in a professional situation would generally be seriously discouraged. It's not the worst of words, but the misogynistic implications can make it sticky and especially aren't exactly appropriate for someone running for public office.
