Gwaihir posted:Boosted has never actually acknowledged that the southern strategy exists and that the democratic and republican parties pretty much completely swapped constituencies between the civil war and the passage of the civil rights act, it's just sorta his thing. I think he knows but refuses to acknowledge it since it conflicts with his narrative that the Democrats are the racist, KKK loving party of old.

Betting market report: Trump and Rubio steadily inching up at everyone else's expense, with Trump still having roughly double Rubio's odds. In SC, Trump is now as favored to win as he was in NH.

I think they'd probably prefer Trump. A slimy religious nutjob would get wrecked nationally and have a huge negative impact on downticket races. Trump will masterfully pivot to the center and win over a lot of disaffected democrats.

What is with the Trump and Morning Joe connection? I'm seeing extreme right wingers praising an MSNBC show and it's confusing me. I don't have a TV anymore so I can't tune in.

Pinch me I'm dreaming Regarding the Morning Joe thing, essentially CNN called him out on it but it's pretty clear being the only "pro-Trump" show on TV has boosted ratings so MSNBC doesn't care. He still isn't as pro-Trump as FOX is pro-Rubio so the whole thing is laughable anyway. Joe Scarborough is a former Republican congressman if that somehow escaped anyone. Also Trump doing the CNN townhall on Thursday yet attempting to steal the viewers for his opponents on Wednesday is beautiful.

Jewel Repetition posted:There's debate about whether the GOPe would prefer Trump or Cruz. Personally I think Trump could charm them into going for him if it was down to those two. Trump definitely. While Trump may be a wild card and impossible to control, Ted Cruz actively works to backstab every member of his own party for personal gain. Trump is like a trickster god, his crazy actions can be a benefit or a harm to the party. Cruz though is the scorpion from the scorpion and frog parable, there's no changing his nature.

Genius move by Trump to hold his own Town Hall on Wednesday. That is when Cruz and Rubio are on, along with Friend Ben. Then he is on CNN Thursday. Sucking up all the air again, I know I will be watching the Trump event over those 2 losers and Carson.

CNN made a big mistake when they didn't schedule all the candidates for a town hall on the same day, for exactly this reason. You could say... it's a yooge mistake.

Boosted_C5 posted:The GOP has already almost completed its mission of fixing the south. We've pretty much run the party of slavery, the party of the KKK, and the party who launched a treasonous rebellion against the U.S. completely out of power down here. And along the way things have gotten better. With the GOP in charge, blacks and whites can now eat together at diners and live together in our communities. Also our police forces don't loose dogs or turn fire hoses on blacks either. 1964 never happened all parties are the same forever. Democrats are poo poo just for other reasons.

And to think, the Democratic party could have all the support of Trump added to their base if only they had made 2010 and 2014 referendum on the state of islam in America. They aren't racist against muslims, any more than it is to say that being concerned about the increase in antisemitic attacks in America is racist against muslims.

Rush had a mini-meltdown just now. A pro-Cruz caller was really disturbed because Cruz, THE TRUE CONSERVATIVE is losing to Trump. Rush tried to explain to her that yes Cruz is a true conservative but he's not connecting like Trump has with the voters. The caller kept pushing Rush, as if it was Rush's job to fight harder for Cruz... Rush thanked her for her call then lost it saying that people from all over are blaming him for Trump's rise, and that it's not his job to win votes for a candidate(Cruz.) He then came back and said you can be a perfect ideological candidate but if that's all you're offering when you are up against a larger than life figure who is promising the world to everyone and connecting with voters you're going to get smoked. E: He's back at this.

Montasque posted:The big thing out of that poll that no one is talking about is that Ted Cruz is underwater in SC and has worse favorables than JEB! I'm really starting to wonder if Trump repeatedly painting Cruz as a weaselly slimy liar has made that portrait begin to stick. Most of us who post on these threads already see Cruz that way, but GOP partisans are usually able to either overlook/ignore the sliminess of their candidate or actually celebrate it as a desirable trait when working for them, but I can't help but wonder if Trump giving no fucks and calling Cruz out as a lying slime has begun to have an impact.

I agree, I was being facetious with that statement because liberals like to accuse anyone that doesn't agree with their plans for making America the world's soup kitchen of being racist. If they knew that even Muslims know better than to let other Muslims in without at least a background check the liberals would probably say they just don't know what's in their own best interests.
