This obviously wasn't McCain's only impulsive decision of 2008, but I think it's my favourite just because the story that emerged was so demonstrative of the quality of the candidates. Obamas such an rear end in a top hat

I am really curious about Misspuri. It's kinda part of the Ted Cruz dominionism firewall, but it's also part of the southeastern Trump firewall and close enough to Ohio that Kasich could come in third.

When I made the joke about everyone suspending their campaign because of Nancy Reagan's death I was more making allusions to the absurd worship of the Reagan family, rather than McCain 08, but hey this is funny too.

Bush. McCain just seemed completely unable to think more than one move ahead at a time, or to follow ideas to their logical conclusions. He must be hilarious to play at chess.

See, that's the sort of thing that McCain would do.

Totalizator posted:Rubio must have been bribed handsomely to self destruct like that, enough money to spend the rest of his life in gay foam. His collapse is completely honest to his quality as a candidate. When Trump called him "little Marco" in the debate, and Rubio immediately shot back with "big Donal...", it was so authentic to his pathetic candidacy. I want Trump to win the nomination, as he will make the general so entertaining. Also, on the chance Hillary hits a banana peel, a Trump presidency would at least be interesting. Second would be a Rubio nomination; seeing him getting spanked in the general would be great fun, and he would be a generic empty suit Republican presidency if he somehow won. Cruz would result in a dissatisfying, gross, general election, the only enjoyment being his actual loss, and merely having a possibility of him being president would be a terrifying reality to accept.

Some people think Cruz is worse for the GOP than Trump and that is objectively incorrect: Republican elites love Cruz and hate Trump and they deserve to suffer the most.

Can you even imagine? "So Mr. Cain, first of all we need to make sure there's nothing in your past that could damage our campaign. Can you think of any skeletons in your closet? Any possible scandals we should know about?" "NOPE" "Great! We'll call soon."

The cattle love Cruz, because his entire schtick is to create unwinnable situations for the party elites then blame them for being insufficiently conservative to get obamacare repealed. So the rank and file adore him as the only one standing up to the kenyan usurper, while the elites know that Cruz hosed them and their efforts to effectively gently caress over the kenyan usurper purely for his own self-interest.

trump is a self-aggrandizing megalomaniac with no bedrock principles whatsoever; he'll lie extravagantly to get in office but will enact the most boring pro-business anti-labor agenda imaginable Cruz is a psychotic True Believer who would nuke the government to prove a point trump just wants to wear the captain's hat and doesn't have a destination in mind, Cruz wants to drill a hole in the bottom of the boat

Is there a specific reason why Trump is polling so well in Michigan? Is it because his anti-Muslim rhetoric plays well with white GOP voters in a state with significantly large Muslim communities?

I know he's dropped out, but at least Bobby Jindal can sit back knowing he did a good job in off- Battered by drop in oil prices and Jindal’s fiscal policies, Louisiana falls into budget crisis  quote:Edwards, in a prime-time address on Feb. 11, said he’d learned of “devastating facts” about the extent of the state’s budget shortfall and said that Louisiana was plunging into a “historic fiscal crisis.” Despite all the cuts of the previous years, the nation’s second-poorest state still needed nearly $3 billion — almost $650 per person — just to maintain its regular services over the next 16 months.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:trump is a self-aggrandizing megalomaniac with no bedrock principles whatsoever; he'll lie extravagantly to get in office but will enact the most boring pro-business anti-labor agenda imaginable I don't think Trump will actually enact the most pro business and anti labor agenda out there. In fact out of everyone running, only Sanders would be more pro working class. Clinton, Rubio, Cruz, Kasich would all be far worse. I'd expect a Trump presidency to be the ultimate poll driven mess. Things that drive his ratings up with the masses, be it locking down the borders to reduce competition for jobs, increasing social security benefits, sticking it to the Chinese, water boarding people, berating hedge fund managers, will be done at regular intervals. Anything that doesn't poll well will be instantly abandoned and he'll pretend it never happened. Anybody who counters with "but that's a war crime" or "entitlement spending is out of hand" will be publically ridiculed and assaulted with "my poll numbers went up when I said it". It will be a reality TV presidency with poll numbers as ratings and justification for everything he does.

Is it because his anti-Muslim rhetoric plays well with white GOP voters in a state with significantly large Muslim communities? It's the rust belt and his positions on trade are the most progressive of any candidate including the democrats. Like do you not hear him repeatedly talking about protectionism and tarriffs and ending the free trade agreements that are decimating American manufacturing?
