I struggle to think of anyone that could succesfully create such a powerful cult of personality. Oprah. Seriously. You're pretty much limited to really rich media stars. So maybe a guy like Rush could do it. edit: neither will ever run though

Lowtax could make a run, but since memes are the new television ads we would REALLY need to step our game up for him to have a chance.

I just feel really bad for Reince Priebus. A few days ago someone suggested that Jeb Bush would be happier being a Spanish teacher, and Newt Gingrich would be happier as a zookeeper. Maybe Reince would have a more fulfilling life as a bartender.

the coolest thing is the innate knowledge that if a single ge poll had trump in the lead he'd talk about it forever. it didn't matter that he usually underperformed nearly every state poll wildly, but he doesn't even have that. what is he even going to talk about in ge rallies if there's not weekly huge terrorist attacks?

Mostly I weep for the future that we're at a place where "you're ugly" is considered a "sick burn". I mean, if that doesn't show how low our standards are I don't know what does. When the trolls stop trying its all gone to hell.

the really funny part is that this election is really the GOP's to lose. 8 years of "meh" economic performance for many, a base that's been actively energized against the incumbent party, general incumbent malaise... like, if they were running literally anyone else than Donald Trump against Hillary then she'd probably get shellacked in the general against attractive Generic Republican but here we are, where the pantsuit golem faces off against the orange kaiju

I think that's partly why he's in hiding. This long lull in the Republican primaries means a lack of polls and action for Trump to distract people with. If he was out there all day every day he'd have to be dealing with some of the bigger "explain your policies" or "all these people don't like you" or "the ge numbers look bad" stuff. And he doesn't have this big field of guys to throw poo poo at so he's just MIA saying a few things to rile Cruz up. The worst thing that could happen to Trump is for him to tie up the Primary quickly and have a long time before the convention with no punching bags and distractions. Just time for people to actually talk about Trump instead of the poo poo Trump distracts them with.

Il Federale posted:yeah jeb "please clap" bush and marco "i cant even win my own state" rubio would have really beat the poo poo out of hillary i think like 95% of the ones who vote will rally behind him but gop turnout will drop and itll end up in a map sorta like the one nate silver made. i think things are too polarized for a goldwater or mondale type map im curious to see what happens to hispanic and female turnout, and to see how much black turnout drops when obama's not on the ballot (but he'll still be campaigning) but i dunno edit: trump hasn't been having rallies has he, i assume we'd be talking about them. how long until his next rally? is this the longest he's gone without a rally since january?

Calling it now: there will be no concession speech from Trump. There might be a speech, but it will absolutely not admit that he was bested.
