It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.

No, it's actually a big deal. Rubio was the lead candidate of the #nevertrump movement. By saying he'd support Trump he threw that entire movement away.

Romney just came out this morning and called on the candidates to categorically disavow Trump as a totally unviable nominee. This was treated as a big deal during the news day. Now, less than 16 hours later, every candidate has pledged their support to him.

it's because trump has the biggest penis so they recognize him as the alpha male

especially little rubio

Inability to adapt to a new environment.

Everything that has lead them up to where they are and this moment has been willingness to demonstrate obedience/not breaking ranks.

My hypothesis is that they're actually too tired and too poor to keep up the fight for another full three months. I don't think Rubio can even make it until April.

Honestly Trump's line re: the H1B's was nuanced enough to appeal to core supporters while offering a fig leaf outwards.

Still in awe, a little, when I think of how far its come

Every single time he is asked about a point of potential weakness, its back to the polls... like some sort of mirror creature raised from the depths who used to attempt to discuss policy specifics when the media person had their second question lined up to say "but what about that, since you are polling X"

This is what we created, really

It's probably too late. Trump's their man. His supporters don't want to see people be mean to him.

He made the right move skipping the pre-Iowa debate. It would have been this, and it would have meant more then.

this has been said at the past few previous debates that "if this debate doesn't hurt trump he is invincible"

I want to know what he does tomorrow to steal the news cycle. Had Christie for the previous debate and like clockwork it became the new media circus.
