Here's the Finn who is donating money to Ted Cruz:

Unfortunately he speaks Finnish which, as a speaker of all 3 Scandinavian languages, I can solemnly assert is a loser garbage language from the fuckshits of hell that no one should ever try to speak, so I can't tell what kind of terrorism he's plotting.

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.

I have a feeling we're going to start seeing Trump clear the 50% thresholds in the later if(vote > 50%){take all the delegates} states, though. The chances of a brokered convention are pretty low.

If Trump really did enter into the convention as the nominee, I like to imagine just how badly the GOP establishment would be having a meltdown.

for people wondering about statements that would actually sink Trump's campaign, backing away from building a wall would be one of them

I don't buy it. The cult of personality is strong enough to withstand that. Also, deep down inside, none of his supporters actually believe the wall will ever get built. They just love the fact that he's created a media environment where he can repeatedly talk about a wall and it's just kind of accepted by the pundits at this point. He's made a mockery of the whole system and that's the root of the attraction to him.

Looks like the type of man who would politely tell his supporters to hunker down against the wave of Muslim hordes.

I'm going to do an oiled impression and asset the statement last year from the FEC lamenting their toothlessness was a trap for the ratman who couldn't resist getting any underhanded advantage he could.

Joementum, what kind leverage does the party have over Kasich in terms of getting him out of the race sooner rather than later? This goes for Carson as well, but I assume they have less to offer Friend Ben. As long as these two continue the soak up even 5-10% of the vote, it seems like Rubio will have a hard time transforming these new endorsements into actual delegate momentum.

From August:

Dahbadu posted:

You guys really need to stop paying attention to "unfavorables" or whatever other red herring you want to focus on.

An ad blitz isn't going to help much as long as opinion shapers on the right aren't also trying to tear Trump down.

Dahbadu posted:

I was criticizing favorability metrics as indicators or predictors of real value. They also fluctuate a bit too much for my liking. When you can ask a question "Who do you plan to vote for?" and the answer to that answers your question, well, there you go. Use that. Don't ask a completely different question and then use hundreds of words to rationalize that it answers that question.

From Dec:

Dahbadu posted:

I've said from the very beginning that Trump's theoretical ceiling of support would be in line with a generic but strong Republican candidate, including his support among Hispanics that vote GOP. Looks like recent polling is shaping up to paint this picture.

There's too many people watching and the longer Trump is winning, the more Trump overcomes his unfavorables among the base. People like a winner.
