Would it be the Nevada Republican party's jurisdiction then, aka Michelle Fiore gets to decide? I'm not sure if that would be the more entertaining option, or it turning out that there are no enforcers after all

I think I'm going to caucus tonight here in Las Vegas for Trump. Might even go to the viewing party too. I hope you can just drop off something in a ballot box and not hang around for hours, but I'm not so familiar with caucuses so we'll see.

This is a pretty good article about how Trump is a giant fraud: https://twitter.com/mikiebarb/status/702180471967498241 Pretty classic that he's quoted throughout. Of course this won't matter.

None of his rivals will hit him on his real weaknesses in the primary because to do so would hurt them just as much. Cruz isn't going to hand the nomination to Rubio by tearing into Trump for his business record. "Attacks" on Trump so far have taken one of two forms: 1) He says mean things. This is exactly why Republican primary voters like him. Attacking him on this is worse than useless. It reinforces his base. 2) He's no True Conservative. Neither are his supporters, and neither is nearly enough of the country. True Conservatives have always been a tiny minority within a minority. Tea Partiers aren't just the Club for Growth but poorer; they're authoritarians who are deep into nationalist identity politics. These attacks are stupid attacks and they were never going to work. No Republican is going to call him a vulture capitalist, and no Republican has the dynamism to take the fight directly to him and call him a fake, a fraud, an out-of-touch plutocrat etc. He is a fraud. And you can expect to hear a lot more about this during the general. edit: He literally part-owns a building on Wall Street. I would love to see him to try to hit Hillary on her Wall Street connections in the general. I don't think it would turn out the way he wants. All the media that are eating up his shenanigans right now will turn on him. You heard him negotiating for softball questions? That'll end the day of the RNC.

Counterpoint: People already know this but don't care since "they are all fraud's but at least he's honest!" E: Being from Toronto I've seen all of this play out, on a much smaller scale, with Rob Ford. Ford fans and Trump fans are the same kind of people. And after one term of Ford we replaced him with the JEB! of Canadian politics... That's where all this is heading.

There are no good attacks on Trump from the Republicans because he's everything they've trained people to want for years. It's easy to attack Trump from the Democratic side because he's explicitly saying the things Democrats have been accusing Republicans of saying in code for years.

Trump should literally bring a printout of that Marco in Libya photo to the debate. Then if he's having a bad time, he can bring it out of his pocket and just destroy Rubio forever.

Rubio having to turn his flex campaign into the real thing at the last moment is like in Phantom of the Opera when Christine has to fill in for the star because a disfigured creep scared everyone else away, except instead of knocking folks dead with Think of Me he's out there doing Lime in the Coconut awkwardly for a whole half hour
