TheScott2K posted:Someone who is actually-smart and not just Republican-smart would aim for 2024, when there won't be an incumbent. iospace posted:I dunno. Obama is sort of like the Dem's Reagan, just without the success in getting his initiatives passed (as to why that's neither here nor there). He's popular around the country with his party and independents and the other side despises him (note, I'm saying popular, not approval). Hillary is viewed as Obama 2.0 by many, and I'm pretty sure people viewed H. W. Bush as Reagan 2.0. I very much see a legitimate threat to Hillary in 2020 if she gets elected, but that also depends on a lot of factors. I think any Republican who's given up on this election and is plotting a future run believes four years of Hillary would be enough of a disaster to give them a chance in 2020. The hatred of both Clintons is too deeply ingrained into the Republican soul at this point.

Even if Trump somehow became President there's no way his presidency would satisfy the wingnut Tea partiers for long. There isn't actually going to be a real wall along the Mexico border. Cruz can easily survive as the voice of the "Trump is failing conservatism" caucus.

Funny sidenote: At the start of WWII, French commander in chief General Gamelin stationed his headquarters at a chateau without any telephone or radio communication, relying instead on twice-daily motorcycle dispatches for all communications. Now it's been a little while since I read up on that,* but I think we all can agree things turned out just fine for France as a result? *not really I read about this sort of poo poo all the drat time.

We're on our third Presidency in a row of a challenger having never really gotten anywhere against a sitting President. Ted Cruz is no Bill Clinton and there isn't going to be a crazy third-party billionaire swooping in to take Hillary's votes away like Perot did to Bush. Now the crazy billionaires just run in major party primaries. On the other side of Bush there's two-term Reagan and whole bunch of assassination/I will not seek/resignation horseshit that culminated in Jimmy loving Carter somehow being elected President that's all insane enough not to really prove or disprove anything. In November we're voting for an eight year term, in all likelihood.

The hatred of both Clintons is too deeply ingrained into the Republican soul at this point. They just can't wrap their minds around the reality that what the American people want is a mild to moderate sociopath who is capable of keeping our #1 status basically intact and is paranoid enough to keep their scandalous fuckery to a low-Harrison level hum instead of a Nixonian roar, and that's the goddamn Clintons.

Is there a particular reason Trump is so hostile to US soldiers? He talked about them stealing money, he hates the Khan family, he hates POWs - and most of his followers seem to agree with him.

Pet peeve that I jump on whenever it crops up: exit polling showed that Perot took votes from Clinton and Bush equally and had no net impact on the election. The claim that Perot cost Bush the election is a myth concocted by Republicans to save face over Bush losing.

If Mr. Perot had not been on the ballot, 38 percent of his voters said, they would have voted for Gov. Bill Clinton, and 38 percent said they would have voted for President Bush. Of the 31 states where Mr. Perot garnered more than 20 percent, 17 were won by Mr. Clinton and 14 by Mr. Bush.

Vladimir Putin posted:It's an awesome strategy. If Trump loses he's betting he is in a good position for the next election. If Trump managed to win he's not going to be president for another 8 years anyway so he's lost nothing. By going against Trump, Cruz wins no matter what. I agree with the first part but disagree with the second two. A presidential endorsement is a /huge/ boost for any campaign. If Trump wins, you can bet your rear end he'll try to sabotage any campaign Cruz has comes 2024.

I'm a giant overzealous kooky atheist who calls Dennett, Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris "The Four Horsemen" without even a shred of self awareness (trying to not be anymore though) and even I thought Trump's comments about that Muslim father were lovely and clearly subtle trolling about the mother.
