I really don't know how to respond to that. quote:“I saw things happening there that to this day, I have never seen again,” Trump told O’Brien. “I would watch supermodels getting screwed, well-known supermodels getting screwed on a bench in the middle of the room. There were seven of them and each one was getting screwed by a different guy. This was in the middle of the room.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...risoner-of-war/ The horror. The horror.

vyelkin posted:I'm not saying they won't do it, the last six months has shown that they have no clue how to deal with the Trump Revolt. I'm saying it's a terrible idea. But then again, they are the Republican Party. Terrible ideas are their bread and butter. The funny thing is they had a means to effectively deal with the Trump revolt. They just waited til like literally the weekend before Super Tuesday to start doing it. Trump has taken some real damage recently, it just might have been too little to late, especially with other donor's being unwilling to spend money against Trump. If they would have killed Trump early rather than using him to get ratings and eyes on the Debates expecting him to self destruct on his own, they wouldn't be in this situation.

Dexo posted:I mean yeah. I don't get why the Establishment thinks loving Romney was a good choice to do this. Have him endorse Cruz/Rubio or whoever. but don't have him attack Trump. The worst part is this: Romney, 4 years ago posted:"There are some things that you just can’t imagine happening in your life. This is one of them. Being in Donald Trump’s magnificent hotel and having his endorsement is a delight. I’m so honored and pleased to have his endorsement.” There's no way to read Mitt's statements on Trump in 2016 and compare them to the way he gushed over Trump's endorsement in 2012 without him, and by extension the establishment, looking like a colossal rat. Either you hate Trump and he's a rat for previously cozying up to him while bearing the mantle of religious piety when it suited him and only denouncing him when it was too late or you love Trump and he's a rat for stabbing your candidate in the back at the behest of your cabal. And Trump's making drat sure that everyone remembers his 2012 endorsement.

Its like facts only exist when Trump can use them and don't matter for anything else. They have created the perfect Republican and cannot stop him from ripping the game from the right establishment's hands.

Northjayhawk posted:If Trump gets a majority of delegates, we may have one anyway, if they decide to change the rules and unbind all the delegates. The GOP is not going to go nuclear on itself if Trump is looking like the nominee. They'll change rules afterwards to try and control the process more in the future but if Trump goes in to the convention with the majority of delegates either they convince him not to run, somehow, or they accept him as the nominee unless they want to give up the presidency to the Dems and possibly some congressional races due to the chaos that would result in a gently caress Trump action. Just because they shifted things last-second to deny Ron Paul a chance to speak in 2012 doesn't mean they can safely oust the frontrunner in 2016. Hollismason posted:If Trump wins Florida then it's I think time to say that's all she wrote. He's going to win Florida and probably Ohio and at that point Kaisch and Rubio are finished if they haven't given up by then. I'm angry at how many people actually buy in to the "Kaisch the moderate" bullshit though. It doesn't take much effort to read about him and see that no, he's just as right wing as the others. He's just not a loud evangelical on the level of Cruz, Huckster, and Santorum. Raskolnikov38 posted:So do most of us, now if only we could turn that into a movement to repeal the 22nd amendment. Thanks to that amendment instead of a 3rd Clinton term we ended up with Fuckup jr. No idea what the 2004 election would've looked like but I'd be amazed if Obama wouldn't have run away with it in 2008 unless Bill was running for a 5th term or something. They're finally going to start rounding up all those Bundy Ranch shitheads?

In more anecdotal evidence of Fox's shift (last night Hannity), Eric Bolling is currently pushing a narrative of backing Trump and questioning "Why he's doing it" in regards to Romney. Meghan McCain is discussing the only path being a brokered convention against a Trump nomination but immediately discussing that it'd fracture the party. The rest of the Fox cast is disparaging the idea and further questioning the wisdom of Mitt Romney's attack.

showbiz_liz posted:Ok, fine. Why is your industry necessary, in your opinion? Currently it's to mitigate the massive costs of medical care that are largely driven by out of control hospital pricing (of which there is no standard or regulation). However, the industry itself is busted as hell and needs severe regulation (my company is under such regulation, but it could be more). I'd prefer to be nationalized as part of the administration of a mass medicare expansion.

Sam Bee had a good bit on John Kasich: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6y_AeJXUdM Basically, the other candidates are in positions where they whine and scream and throw their toys out of the pram about how they want to get awful stuff done but the mean old people in charge won't let them. John Kasich quietly and calmly finds bipartisan, compromising ways to get awful stuff done. He would be a very scary president. I mean, all of these guys would be, but Kasich somehow got an undeserved reputation as a moderate that makes him extra scary because a lot of pressure would be put on Democrats to work with him because hey, the GOP elected a moderate, wasn't that great of them?
