Arkane posted:Rubio's account tweeted the #NeverTrump hashtag a couple times yesterday and he's now vowing on the stump to always oppose him, so I think the bold is in serious doubt at this point. I mean, there's no doubt they pledged it. Just a lot of doubt they'll actually do it.

Peel posted:mussolini's dudes were pretty violent, actually more violent than the nazis in the run up to power iirc. he also invaded and gassed ethiopia for no reason (after invading african countries for no reason had gone out of fashion). he was reluctant about the racial biology compared to the nazis but still went along to placate them. plus all the general misgovernment and repression associated with fascist governments (the trains do not run on time) There was a damned good reason to invade Ethiopia. Italy getting its rear end kicked by Ethiopia in the 1890s at the same time as the rest of Africa was falling under European control was a humiliating display of Italian weakness and backwardsness. Defeating and conquering Ethiopia was a way of exorcising the memory of national humiliation. I guess the American equivalent would be to invade Vietnam again just to prove we've still got it and last time was a fluke. Patter Song fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Feb 28, 2016 |

Zohar posted:who the gently caress knows any more Yeah I hate to say "THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT" when referring to Trump, but there's no way this can help him in the general. The primary voters won't give a poo poo, but Clinton is going to use this to define him as a candidate. But even getting past the bullshit political optics game, what kind of person do you have to be to even have to pause to think about how to answer "do you hate the KKK?"

Ego-bot posted:Isn't the point of the whole Trump University thing to try and sympathize with the people who were screwed over and are suing Trump? I think this actually has more sticking power. Trying to get Trumpeters to feel bad for rubes would require them to question a lot of moral assumptions and is a losing battle. Finding past rubes and implying that they're stupid assholes and you will be too cuts rights to the heart of insecurity that powers Trump's supporters.

Harold Stassen posted:True and true- attacking Trump for having so little to do with Trump U is his own defense for why it was poo poo- he had nothing/so little to do with it. The guy is rapidly wearing out this dissembly/excuse in public. It was apparently also his response when his involvement with ACN came into question when, uh, ACN came into question. And IIRC lately the response about using illegal Poles (Underpaid!) for construction work; it was all the subcontractor, not on me. And it goes on and on, just stuff we've heard about recently. Would appear that the Donald is no stranger to plausible-deniabilitymanship.

Friendly reminder: Rubio's event in VA today is at Patrick Henry College, so-called "God's Harvard," an evangelical school started in 2000 by the founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association as a means of funneling home schooled students into government positions.

Nonsense posted:Those who oppose Trump only make others support him. Cease these futile attacks on him. There's a lot of truth to this. I mean, if I ever question my support of Trump, I just have to look around and see that every massive piece of human trash in this country seems to be in a tizzy over Trump and loudly screaming about how awful he is. If all these rear end-holes have a problem with him, he has to be doing SOMETHING right. Someone who is equally despised across partisan lines by scum like the Bushes and Clintons MUST be doing something right. Someone who scum like La Raza and the Chamber of Commerce are equally outraged by must be doing something right. Someone sending every crybaby bitch in the country into a frenzy must be doing something right. As they say, if you're taking flak, you're over the target.

I'm very much looking forward to the many primary autopsies that will start springing up in late March analyzing this stuff. Particularly people like Nate Silver explaining why they were wrong. Also quoting my post from a month and a half ago saying that the primaries would be over March 15th when Trump beats Rubio in Florida.

Trump being ambiguous about disavowing racism/KKK will only help him with the rural Republican base, particularly in the southern states that vote on Tuesday. These folks are scum and they're being played like a fiddle.

Montasque posted:https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/704015546849820673 You can't really get away with saying somebody refuses to disavow David Duke when they can just play footage from the day before of them at a press conference disavowing David Duke that was broadcast on the same network. I mean, I know there are dumbasses who are doing the feigned millennial world weary cynicism thing and saying "Nothing matters" because they don't actually understand what Trump is doing despite being glued nonstop to every word he's said for the past eight months, but, like, reality actually does exist and you can't just invent it out of nothing.

There's speculation that Romney will step in if Rubiobot implodes over the next couple weeks. Hoping this happens and Trump makes Romney eat poo poo. Him making GBS threads on Bush and Romney in a single run would be awesome.
