The wall is already there lol

I like how the Cruz-iCarly mashup didn't even last 12 hours before the news narrative literally turned into Cruz = Satan. I was born too late to explore the seas, and too early to explore the stars, but at just the right time to experience the most riduclous election in the history of the most powerful country that's ever existed.

This is precisely the kind of reaction Trump is trying to get. Yes, in October what he said would be very bad for him. But by getting Hillary to continue to play up her "I'm a woman, fellow women!" now, he opens up a lot of attack options down the line.

wow new dilbert blog already we are blessed dilbert blog is an approved news source for any aspiring hari seldon "can trump change the frame on his perceived sexism?" dilbert blog posted:Donald Trump called John Kasich “disgusting” for how he eats. Trump insulted Rand Paul’s looks. He said Rubio was sweaty and little. He mocked a disabled guy (an enemy reporter) who has a bad arm. Ted Cruz turned into “lyin’ Ted” and Jeb Bush got tagged with the “low energy” kill shot. dilbert blog -> predictit in 2016 if you want to be rich

Oiled and Ready posted:This is precisely the kind of reaction Trump is trying to get. I think "precisely the kind of reaction he was trying to get" was cheers from the crowd of trump supporters he was talking to. It seems people have shifted from "Trump is a moron who nobody will ever vote for" to "Trump is actually Kevin loving Spacey and underneath that dopey orange exterior he is a cold, calculating machine that is manipulating the world and playing us all like chess pieces". They still aren't right. Donald Trump is Donald Trump. He's breaking the system because it turns out the system had gaping holes in it that everyone ignored and it was just asking to be broken, all it required was shouting what he thought people would like to hear and calling corrupt politicians corrupt.. Him beating Cruz is not an absurd miracle or the result of a convoluted long-con that would make an anime villain blush, because Cruz is an absurdly unlikable goon that the Republicans were stupid to ever think would be President and they're even more stupid for being in denial about this fact. They're even more stupid for announcing to the world that they'd have two candidates collaborating in order to keep the popular vote from mattering and leave the decision up to a closed council of detached elites and that people would just be okay with this. They bathed in gasoline, lit and match, and are now looking around starstruck wondering how everything is suddenly on fire. Augus fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Apr 28, 2016 |

Lol the woman card line of attack would probably lose steam against like, Scott Walker, but it'll get stronger and stronger against Trump because any time the DNC sees women ticking up in favorability for him they'll just play another Stern tape where he says J Lo is too ugly and therefore shouldn't be successful or some poo poo

He doesn't necessarily have to be cold and calculating and be all "if Clinton does this I will do this" for every possible scenario, that's some poo poo that a big machine of a campaign would pay an army of consultants to map out and it wouldn't be or come off organic. What Trump does is he gets inside his opponent's heads and so it becomes a very natural process to draw their weaknesses out of them. A lot of his haters just don't seem to get what level he's operating at. Neither cold and calculating or completely off the cuff, he's disciplined yet unpredictable because he knows how to read people and situations. He's a real politician. Doesn't need an army of professionals around him tell him how to read situations. Of course, that will become more helpful as time goes on as the campaign gets more complicated, and a Presidency is obviously even more complicated than that with a higher learning curve. But that basic instinct will always be a huge strength. IMO Trump has personal qualities that many people aspire to have. Cue the "ha, like racist and sexist?
