I have to wonder if Jeb! will even stick around until Nevada, let alone Super Tuesday, if he gets 4th in SC and Rubio gets 2nd (as in, Rubio is clearly the stronger establishment candidate, no more neck-and-neck competition between the two of them).

He's got a lot of money, but still.

The general electorate as a whole are not going to care more that Trump donated money to Democrats than GOP primary voters do you idiot

No, but then again, the general electorate is not nearly as favorably disposed towards Trump as the GOP primary electorate is.

Manque du respect: toujours.

It's interesting to see that Trump's major move towards policy forcing tech companies to turn over customer data in aid of the government surveillance state is one that will strengthen China, and a move encouraged by China. I guess it's good that he and they have some common end goals? It's too bad that he wants to weaken American companies to go through our data, though.

quote:

China is watching the dispute closely. Analysts say that the Chinese government does take cues from the United States when it comes to encryption regulations, and that it would most likely demand that multinational companies provide accommodations similar to those in the United States.

Last year, Beijing backed off several proposals that would have mandated that foreign firms provide encryption keys for devices sold in China after heavy pressure from foreign trade groups. Nonetheless, a Chinese antiterrorism law passed in December required foreign firms to hand over technical information and to aid with decryption when the police demand it in terrorism-related cases.

While it is still not clear how the law might be carried out, it is possible a push from American law enforcement agencies to unlock iPhones would embolden Beijing to demand the same. China would also most likely push to acquire any technology that would allow it to unlock iPhones. Just after Apple introduced tougher encryption standards in 2014, Apple users in China were targeted by an attack that sought to obtain login information from iCloud users.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

That isn't what I'm talking about you moron I never mentioned donations. I'm talking about his contradicting platforms, which we already have on some issues like wages.

I don't think Jeb will drop out. I honestly think that's his game plan at this point, just outlast the others.

cruz has zero qualms about shattering establishment goppers for even the slightest chance of coming out ahead. he has made a career of throwing people under the bus

Which would make him the perfect "legitimate" politician for Donald to approach before the election and use to keep the "establishment candidate" waters muddied for as long as possible.

Trump notes, Walterboro, SC, edition:
--Spokesman, on why he's supporting Trump: "The AR-15 is a wonderful gun for a young lady."
--The crowd, before Trump arrives: "Build the wall! Build the wall! Build the wall!"
--Trump: "The second amendment is under siege."
--The enemies of the 2nd amendment: Hillary Clinton and Michael Bloomberg(!)
--On Jeb polling at 1% in Nevada: "Why doesn't he just go home? Go home to mom. Go home to mommy!"
--On politicians: "Politicians are bad people. Boy!"
--A lot of trade/currency manipulation talk (to an organization of hunters)
--On Iraq/Iran relations: "Fight, fight, fight. Boom! And then they rest."
--On infrastructure: "I mean, our country is like a third-world country."
--On railroads: "They have railroad trains that go 50,000 miles an hour and we have things that go chug, chug, chug."
--On the ideal length of a speech: about 24 minutes, apparently
