Pander: Oct 9, 2007; Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

I'm not nervous, I'm very confident that the GOP cannot win without an absolutely massive gamechanger happening.

rear end in a top hat billionaire with no political experience vs former president's wife seems on its face like a massive departure from normality.

When you have a cult of personality and not politics, you don't need to spend a cent to make assholes like you--you just have to keep being an insufferable shitbird.

These people believe an EMP attack would kill 90% of Americans because no one ever lived without electricity before.

Maybe not 90% but there would be an enormous die-off and general societal collapse.

Wouldn't the shockwave from an EMP blast large enough to knock out the entire country's electricity pretty much wipe out all of us anyway?

The only known way to create an emp pulse is a nuclear explosion. If you are caught in a nuclear explosion chances are you don't care if your toaster works.

Trump also gave a new hint as to what his infamous border wall might look like � and his inspiration comes from a somewhat unexpected place. Citing his recent and short-lived feud with Pope Francis, Trump said that his he wants to use the Vatican's walls "as my model for the wall we want to build."

What dollar value would you assign him getting Trump only town halls during prime time on both Fox with Hannity and MSNBC with Joe/Mika?

His rally highlight reels are also played throughout the day on CNN

Evil Fluffy posted:

There is no reason to believe Trump is going to depress turnout for the GOP. Apathetic right wingers who didn't care to vote for Romney are going to be hyped as hell to vote for Trump so their racism and xenophobia can be national policy. The number of Republicans who would opt to not vote for Trump if Clinton's the Dem nominee is a rounding error.

Eh, let's wait and see. Although I would prefer the Republican establishment to openly state that they do not intend to work with an outsider who attempts to hijack their party, and put this before the voters, now, as one of the things to consider in the primary.

I still have no idea how the RNC managed to gently caress up the purpose of superdelegates so badly. I mean, how is it even possible that someone who wasn't an active member of the party can be its candidate? It's just bizarre.

Xenophon: Jun 28, 2003; by FactsAreUseless; Grimey Drawer

For a change of pace, here are some Rubio Notes, Las Vegas, NV, edition:
--On the Democratic Party's nominee: "It will be either an avowed democratic socialist or it will be someone under FBI investigation."
--On Obama's promise to close Guantanamo Bay: "It makes no sense to me. We're not going to close Guantanamo."
--On the economy: "We keep hearing these reports, 'The economy is recovering.' For who? For who?" [for whom*]
--On volume: "This election can't just be about making a point. It cannot just be about electing the loudest person in the room."
--On settling for Rubio: "A lot of people are realizing, he wasn�t our first choice, but now he�s our best choice."
--On lower-income workers: "This is a city of tens of thousands of people living how I grew up. All of these hotel employees who clean the rooms like my mom did...They haven't heard from conservatives in a long time. I will take our message to the people that are living the way I grew up."
--On his dislike of Tom Brady: "That's probably why I didn't do well in New Hampshire."
--On government ownership of land in Nevada: "We only need 5 or 6 acres to store all those alien bodies! One building to house the alien and one hanger to hold the UFO. The rest we can sell off!"
--On Obamacare: "It's a disaster."
--On the economy: "If we do nothing, guaranteed, we will have a debt crisis. It's not even a debate."
--On budgets: "Defense spending is not the cause of our debt."
--On uniters and dividers: "I will never divide you against each other to win an election."
--On concord: "If you elect me president, I'm not telling you everyone's going to agree with me. That doesn't even exist in my home. You have to have a president who loves all the American people, even the ones who don't love him back."

Obviously a much different style than Mr. Trump.
