Agreed but can the power of the Internet not figure out how much Trump weighs? Surely it's documented somewhere.

I'll spare the lmgtfy link but Google with the query "Donald trump weight" and the infobox that comes up claims that 198 lbs. It also reports his shoe size as 12 because apparently when you look for someone's weight you also want their shoe size?

He's 6'2" so I'm not sure I'd believe that. He's probably north of 220 by now. But still likely in the overweight, not crazy obese category.

He basically looks like your average pudgy grandpa. He's probably lost some weight since he started campaigning. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2171634/Maybe-try-EATING-greens-instead-Stout-Donald-Trump-tees-new-Scottish-resort.html

What is Rubios strategy moving forward? Is he actually going to start attacking trump? Like during the debate, is Marco just going to leave trump alone? Seems like a really pussy strategy.

Trump probably will have a pretty easy debate night tbh.

The likelyhood is that Kasich and Cruz will go full bore on Rubio to try and prompt another blue screen.

8 years ago: Senator John McCain, presidential candidate, sings a line from a whimsical Beach Boys parody song "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb, well anyway..." to a South Carolina town hall. He blushes sheepishly as the audience laughs. The media firestorm lasts for days and the clip is used against him throughout the election season to ensure his eventual defeat.

2016: GOP frontrunner Donald Trump calls for deporting all illegal immigrants, banning Muslims from entering the country, blames the WTC attacks on George W Bush, and bashes the Pope. He easily secures the nomination.

It's because at the end of the day, everyone knows that the economy is held together with children's elmers glue and none of that will matter when it all collapses.

I know the thread already knows Trump is doing strongly with lower income white voters because they are the ones who've been hit hardiest by free trade agreements and Trump is the only Republican speaking against them.

But Vice News has a nice up close look of Trump's appeal in a South Carolina town that had their textile mills moved out of the country.

Was it Milliken? There's an abandoned Milliken plant in the town we moved to last year. There's an abandoned Milliken plant on the South Carolina side of the border near where I was born where my dad worked when I was a child that is abandoned. There's a Milliken plant in my Mom and Dad's town that is abandoned. There's a Milliken plant in a tiny town I pass through to go see them that's abandoned.
