Pro-Life conservatives believe in criminal charges against the women for having abortions, period, full stop, they have to. Why? Because if they didn't people would just use black market abortion inducing pills within the US or travel abroad to receive an abortion. Does anyone really think that pro-life activists will be just fine with a woman flying to Canada to murder her baby and then come back consequence free besides the plane ticket and hotel room for a night? Sure, they will be just fine with black market abortion pills, I mean just as long as you don't get a prescription and have it filled in the US go ahead and murder your baby, no biggie.

Xenophon posted:To repeat: the standard conservative line is that women who get abortions are "victims" and deserve our sympathy; the doctors are the ones who should be punished for the crime. It's illogical as gently caress but it's how they reconcile their abhorrent position with the fact that so many women get abortions. Marjorie Dannenfelser of Susan B. Anthony's List was on NPR this morning jumping through all the usual hoops. You can listen here if you want a taste of how the argumentation goes. The only moral abortion is a woman throwing herself down the stairs hard enough.

Also Trump is taking today to meet with people, including his foreign policy team, in Washington - no rallies, no scheduled media appearances, etc. So the horse named Narrative is left out to pasture without Trump holding the reigns for at least a day.

I disagree strongly with Trump's tax plan, which will just end up transferring more wealth to the top 1% at the expense of lower income brackets and the gutting of important government services, and I disagree strongly that a ban on Muslim immigration is an effective means of combatting domestic terrorism, which is largely committed by non-Muslim white people with easy access to firearms, and I also disagree strongly that women who elect to have an abortion should be punished criminally, BUT HE IS JUST SUCH AN ALPHA *CREAMS* *VOTES TRUMP*

Not even then, Trump doesn't get more votes than the rest of the Republican field combined. If they somehow could have pared down the field to one challenger for Trump early on I don't think he would have had a chance. But, that would have required them to actually see him as a threat early on, rather than as a vanity candidate. It would also have required them to stop fighting and agree on a champion, which doesn't seem something they are capable of doing either.

So...Trump's favorability rating among Republican primary voters is pretty much the only number he's above water in, isn't it?

Cruz on the top of the ticket of a fractured republican party might be even worse than Trump, so I am all for it. It actually sounds like Cruz might have a good shot too, they're playing the delegate politics that tends to lead to a clear majority when the delegates come unbound. Cruz in that situation is a strong candidate to take the nomination. .. and then Trump runs 3rd party against "Lyin' Ted" to make a statement and the entire thing comes down in fire

The most likely outcome now, assuming Trump doesn't win Wisconsin, is that he doesn't get the number of delegates necessary to win on the first ballot, right? I think if that happens a ratfucking is pretty likely. If these favorability numbers don't improve by a lot the GOP would be better off with Cruz, crazy as that sounds.

Trump getting 1237 is contingent on his performance in the NE. If he runs 50%+ in most states there [wins both WTA, triggers WTA in NY, etc.] and has a solid performance in California, he can probably get there comfortably. If he doesn't get WTA in NY and he's anemic in California, he's going to be short by like 50-60 delegates.

Oh god, GE Ted Cruz will be so loving hilarious. I can't imagine a worse candidate than Cruz, and that includes Trump. Cruz is going to absolutely poo poo himself if he gets into a stage of the election where you need more than crazy people to win, or where you have to answer questions that actually have something to do with anything.

Reminder that California is WTA by Congressional district. Winning the state is actually meaningless. Trump winning 30 or so of the more rural congressional districts would lead to a whole bunch of delegates and a comfortable road to 1237. e: there might not be 30 rural congressional districts in California. I can't remember how the map looks.

Hillary in a debate with Trump would be filled with that quiet, chuckling disdain that I actually really like. But I think if we get Hillary against Cruz in a debate, we might just see a sharp and focused vivisection of all the absurdities the far right has devolved into, and I kind of want to see that on live TV.

Crazy religious authoritarians like Cruz and Santorum are the literal reason why even if I agreed with the GOP on taxes and government spending, I could never vote for them. The risk of those psychopaths getting any semblance of actual power is not even close to being worth the marginal benefits to my tax bill.

If he loses the nomination in July, he will declare himself the winner, the GOP the loser, and say "See, I told you so!" in November when Cruz (or whoever) loses. Running third party would lessen that "told you so" and he knows he would lose so maybe he doesn't run third-party?
