I hope Rubio gets a comeback/redemption narrative going forward. And then goes back into full robot mode at a debate.

Jeb! isn't hideous in the way Cruz is, but somehow he manages to be less photogenic. No matter where or when, every reported photo of Jeb seems to be catching him the middle of an extremely awkward facial expression or movement.

PleasingFungus posted: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. He could always adopt the Jim Gilmore strategy.

TheTatteredKing posted: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. Trump is in this for himself, for his reputation. He wants to be loved and remembered as the President who made America Great Again, he's not just another lizard person who wants to see his balance sheet go up and doesn't care what he has to do to make it happen. He reminds me of the tyrants of ancient Greek city-states, who fought for the people against the aristocracy and oligarchy. The corporation might be the source of the problem, but building the wall and deporting the illegals means that the problem is solved - they'll have no choice but to provide fair wages and conditions to Americans.

I think Rubio had his "surge" just before Iowa and that will probably be the high point of his campaign.

Even Trump has to know that it would backfire. Ironically, I think the conservative reading of the 'natural-born citizen' clause would indeed exclude Sen. Cruz from being eligible for office. I don't think the SC would rule that way, but chaos does reign, and so we'll see what happens.

There are a lot of people who want to vote for anyone who isn't Trump or Cruz. And that role has to be played by...someone? Rubio, Jeb, or Kasich - in that order of likelihood, with big gaps between each in terms of how likely. Edit: Or Gilmore? Can't forget about Gilmore!

I guess the establishment is just expecting everyone to forget about Rubio's Robot moment? And they're hoping now Christie's gone none of the other candidates will do the same thing to him in future debates. Let us know if it works out this way with your wife, Boosted. Jeb!'s donors are too scared to jump to Rubio until Jeb! himself drops out lest they be blackmarked by the Bush dynasty - And right now Rubio doesn't even look like that much of a better pick than Jeb! does

Abu Ghraib quote won't matter because nothing matters. Surely Jeb still has the second highest chance of being the nominee, dependent on if he can beat Rubio in SC.

Trump's tax plan enriches himself and with no estate tax greatly enriches his kids. No one thinks the wall will work, let alone work completely. It doesn't stop planes boats or tunnels. Regardless that probably just prompts companies to find another way to screw employees out of money, just "hard working Americans" get short changed this time. Unless they're regulated why wouldn't they?

It warms my heart that, instead of attempting to cozy up to evangelicals, Trump's strategy is pointing out that Cruz is a lying sack of poo poo. Which he is. Which is great. This is totally unrelated to the fact that Ted Cruz, by US constitutional law, is a natural born citizen of Canada. Which he is, and nobody has even begun to argue against that fact.
