Here's some vid of Slime Man's work as Chair of the Sub-committee for Commerce, Science, and Transportation committee which handles Nasa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peL7Qecg3qQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPQGCnuWcqc Cruz is the most singularily obviously unpleasant high-tier politician the US has had since Joe McCarthy. He doesn't have a prayer in clinching the Republican nomination.

I don't think the party cares about REAL CONSERVATISM or what it really means to be a REAL CONSERVATIVE, but I do think they care about their ability to use that rhetoric in order to drive voter turnout. I think a failed Trump bid for the presidency would be less damaging to that rhetoric than a Cruz one.

Still not buying a guy as ugly as Ted Cruz being a nominee in an age of mass media.

Joementum posted:And if Trump really does have a 10+ point lead in SC, he'll win every district. The bigger question in SC is how badly does Jeb! need to get creamed for him to drop out? Do you really think he'd give up before March 1st? Or, at least, do you think he'd admit that he's given up before then?

I don't expect Trump to play ball well during a brokered convention. He wants it all. The delegates at the convention are a mix of hardcore supporters of their candidate, local party officials with loose or no affiliation, politicians, fundraisers, etc. In sort states the candidates submit lists of delegates who get to go to the convention if they win, in others it's the people who show up for the state-level caucuses, and everything in between. The point being: after the first ballot* in a deadlocked convention you have to somehow corral a majority of ~2,500 people with no real leadership. Backroom deals in that environment are going to be difficult. * And I was reviewing the rules of Florida this afternoon and noticed the state party makes their delegates bound until after the third ballot, so there's wackiness like that too.

If Jeb! wants to stick around and humiliate himself while he collects < 5% in contests on Super Tuesday and beyond it doesn't matter, provided his donors and endorsers all bolt for Marco.

QuoProQuid posted:What reason does Kasich have to drop out before Ohio? He's popular in the state and probably the only candidate that has a chance of beating Trump there. Unless polling shows him substantially down in his home state, it seems smarter for him to stay in the race. It builds his reputation and let's him claim at least one more victory. He had negative two million dollars* as of last month. It's possible that post-NH fundraising will be able to pull him out of that hole - Kasich is certainly incentivized to say so! - but I would say that money issues are gonna be a big problem for his campaign, yes. *Technically it's his PACs that are in debt, not his campaign, but that's still not a very good sign.

So you're expecting donors will keep shifting over to Rubio, even after the NH disaster?

Thanks for fighting the good fight and picking up on my analogy of illegal immigrantas as Scabs, Boosted, it really does fit them perfectly. This is why the corporations love illegals the way they love scabs, an ally against the American working man.

That's why we should vote in a rich corporate baron that uses cheap labor? The company is the source of the problem in your analogy. Laser focusing on the scabs is stupid.

Quote of the day, “I was commander-in-chief of the National Guard. I visited Iraq and Afghanistan. The National Guard in Florida took the responsibility of running Abu Ghraib prison. I walked that prison. I saw the heroic effort of the citizen soldiers taking care of their job with great distinction. I supported our Guard in every possible way.” ~ Jeb!

He doesn't actually want to be president and is just running because the party elite wants him to. He is trying to throw this thing. There is no other explanation.
