That 28% realise that the entire field is poo poo, even Carson, but they support him as the joke option. He’s the Pichu.

Trump is probably gonna manage to change the media narrative from "RUBIO STUMPS TRUMP" due to that zinger to "HOLY poo poo THIS DEBATE WAS A SHITSTORM" due to the insane second half. That Benny "why won't you insult me!" line is gonna get a lot of repeats. Which is good for the CHAOS CANDIDATE.

All he has to do is run out the clock from now until ST.

Thanks! It's also important to note that, despite the sometimes very favorable rules, the only contest that I got a result of any candidate getting an outright majority of votes was Trump hitting 52% in Massachusetts in his scenario. Basically, it takes an outright Cruz collapse AND dropouts by Kasich and Carson before you're going to see many majorities.

I don't see Rubio competing anywhere except maybe Minnesota, even after tonight. Option T is by far the most probable scenario

Hey, mods! Think it would be fun to do a "Predict How Many Delegates Donald Trump Wins On Super Tuesday Contest" for the forum?

This is impossible, at the nomination, You can't always get what you want starts playing, trump emerges from behind the titantron, smacks Jeb! in the face and takes the nomination

Yeah, Trump won by not dropping trou on stage.

He didn’t have to beat his opponents. He just hand to not have a pre‐NH Rubio moment.

If you went in a time machine to one year ago today and told the people there that in late February 2016 Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz would be desperately, barely treading water in debates as Donald Trump prepares for a borderline rout on Super Tuesday and March 15, beating both of them in their home states, what do you think the reaction would have been?

Trump kiiiinnndda got owned by Rubio. Not sure if it'll stick, but it looked bad. Naturally, Rubio and the audience were mocking one of the few decent ideas Trump has, ending the anti-trust exemption for insurance companies.

trump really, really looked awful in the first half in several exchanges with rubio. His responses were a joke. This thread is under selling it

but rubio was still somehow so nervous he was talking at 3x speed like a little kid in front of the class the whole night

and with that crazy 2nd half... :byewhore: to the GOP

Trump started strong but then Rubio unloaded all of his debate prep on Trump and Trump was genuinely stumped for the first hour or so

The latter two hours then devolved into the most petty bickering and interrupting and name calling I've ever seen, which is 100% Trump's wheelhouse so the debate ended with a shitshow rather than a Stumping.

Highlight was without question Trump making fun of Cruz for so long that Wolf Blitzer finally just moved the topic onto something completely different without Cruz getting a chance to respond

Allowing insurance companies to sell across state lines would be absolutely disastrous as an immediate race to the bottom would occur where every insurance company would headquarter and issue policies from the most "business friendly" state in order to benefit from the protection of their laws vis a vis torts, etc. It would be absolutely disastrous.

You know it's a bad idea because it's Republican orthodoxy.
