When I become a citizen and found the American Populist Party, I'm definitely going to use Trump's dumbed down style of talking to appeal to as many Americans as possible. I'm sure they'll like it even more coming from a smooth British accent.

I'll be a lot more left-wing than Trump though, with a lot of Sanders' platform, but still essentially pushing economic populist nationalism.

Yeah, if there's one thing that trump supporters would love more than trump, it's a Brit talking down to them

From what I've seen on WADR and random cable appearances Rick Tyler seemed to be pretty good at his job. Overall most Cruz staffers have seemed pretty competent.

Cruz has to fire his communications director a week before super tuesday, and Trump didn't even have to reprimand anyone other than some faceless intern who probably didn't exist, when he retweeted that Iowans were brain damaged from genetically
modified corn.

Does anyone not named Ted Cruz still think Ted Cruz has a chance at winning this thing?

Honestly it looks like Cruz and Roe just weren't quite ready for the big time yet. :shrug:

Teddy Roosevelt was VP during the Spanish-American War, I'm pretty sure he shot someone on San Juan Hill.

Edit: Never mind, but he became VP after shooting someone. Then again, Nixon, HW Bush, and Arthur were all veterans, they probably killed a few guys as well.

Nixon spent the entire war playing poker on an island far from the action. If he ever shot anyone, it was probably a nosy journalist.

Even accounting for Trump's natural advantages, taking a person who has never held elective office of any sort ever and winning primaries is a very impressive feat.

Bathroom's in casinos are always beautiful and immaculate. Even the most upscale shopping mall in America has disgusting bathrooms compared to an average casino. If you're ever walking on the Vegas strip or Atlantic City boardwalk and you have to piss, always go to a casino bathroom. The bathroom's at the Trump Taj-Mahal should be in Architecture's Digest. I guess it's because it's the only place on the casino floor you're away from the sights and sounds from gambling and the last thing they want is a poo poo stained bathroom stall to break the immersion. I assume if they were allowed to bring a catheter out to a blackjack table they would do that instead.

I think Cruz was caught in a pretty ugly Catch-22 situation. Rubio and Trump had clearly found their angle of attack on Cruz: dirty trick-playing liar. If he doesn't fire Tyler, they can (and had been, and would continue to) point out that Cruz's campaign members - and not just staffers, but higher-up guys - were indeed actually acting pretty slimy without any actual fallout from the Cruz campaign. But in firing Tyler, he now highlights sliminess in his campaign as An Issue instead of letting it simmer on, as you say, a few blogs and Twitter. So I wonder what it was that made Cruz think the balances had tipped in such a way that made it favorable to pull the trigger like this. Also, to do it on a Monday, right when the media is salivating for a new story to run...
