Yob claims that his wife and his two friends were also elected, so between them that's 4 delegates out of the USVI's 9, or, rather, 4 out of their 6 elected ones. Yob will command a voting block of ~0.2% of the total delegate pool at the convention.

Didn't Trump literally call Iowans stupid for supporting Carson in October? Like so many things about this election, that seems to have been forgotten.

There has to be an effective anti-Cruz attack ad where you just show all the poo poo Trump has said about Carson and then say "And he STILL hates Cruz more."

Al! posted:politically, America is like a man with a large hematoma on his forehead wandering in a daze on the freeway Absolutely, but that was just one of the more astounding things I've seen out of this shitshow. When has a politician ever flat out called voters stupid, gone on to do very well with said voters, and then somehow successfully courted the endorsement of the guy he called voters stupid for supporting? It's straight out of The Simpsons when Quimby insulted the crowd and they lapped it up. "Give us hell, Trump!" STAC Goat posted:There has to be an effective anti-Cruz attack ad where you just show all the poo poo Trump has said about Carson and then say "And he STILL hates Cruz more." Is Friend Ben capable of hating anyone? He's just a sweet guy who also hit his mom with a hammer.

Donald Trump: Called Ben Carson an OK doctor. implied that Seventh Day Adventists were a cult. Said that Carson's stories of belt buckles and hammers were false. Compared Carson's claimed pathological temper to child molestation. Said that people who believed said stories were stupid. Worst of all: said that if Jeb was low-energy, Carson was no energy. Carson endorses Trump. Carson hates Ted Cruz that much.

i dunno, ben carson as vp would've been gold a few months ago, but i'm kinda still riding that 'herman cain being vetted for vp' high he'd be hilarious, though. he went from routine double-digit +s in favorables to a -4 average on rcp as the whole pathological liar/pyramids thing played out, and his head-to-heads against clinton are an interesting illustration of how head-to-heads follow favorables http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_carson_vs_clinton-5119.html http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/carson_favorableunfavorable-5295.html also the hillary-trump hths have spiked in her favor and cruz still leads her narrowly; sanders has better head to heads than clinton. this has been your head to head report

Prof. Lurker posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpZHeS7kYsA Wow this was terrible, that interview really couldn't have gone much worse. What a dork. He could at least use his brief time in the spotlight before he has to bow out to talk about issues and make a real (minor) difference in the election's rhetoric, instead he's just hanging on like an arrogant limp and deformed limb.

SNAKES N CAKES posted:Donald stood at Ben's side when he refused to go out on stage. Friends for life. Good point! If you had to tell the sweet and innocent people of March 2015 about these debates, which event would they have more trouble believing? The candidate traffic jam? Cruz on live television eating congealed bile? Trump being lauded as substantive and restrained for supporting the Chinese government's brutality without mentioning his dick?

Its easy to forget because it was so long ago but Carson was the only guy who ever topped Trump in the polls and he spent awhile as Trump's only real equal. So it makes sense Trump said more poo poo about him. Jeb took hits because he was the initial favorite, Cruz took hits when he started to challenge in Iowa, and Rubio became a target when he started coming at Trump a few weeks ago. But way back it was just Friend Ben frustrating Trump because the good doctor would never bite for the trolling. Then of course Ben Carson started talking more and people walked away.

oh and the virgin islands going for GIVE US MONEY FOR OUR VOTES ON THE SECOND BALLOT is so great. i love that they have an appreciation for chaos reigning and want to participate. especially those yob people. i wonder if that dude has enough money to retire and he figured he might as well do it in a place where he could engage in convention politics, or if he's actually built his life around the chance that he could be part of the gop's red wedding

Donald Trump (Paternal Autocrat) Organisation regain -5% Peacetime Belligerence -0.4 per month Alliance chance with Democracies +30% The Barking Buffoon is a great political dramatic actor. People see him as a strong and competent leader who will save the nation and restore it to its historical greatness. But behind his mask of bombastic rhetoric hides a weak-minded, vain simpleton. Those who really know him, know he is an incompetent man.
