Plenty of people still have a hateboner for both candidates huh https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/25/american-political-parties-democrats-republicans-representation-survey Well it's true that a lot of Americans don't feel represented by either party I guess.

Things don't look good for Murphy, but given Hillary's average margin that's a lot of vote splitting for Rubio if it bears out. Rubio's continued support of Trump is also not doing him any favors with the non-Cuban Latinos in the state. lozzle posted:I mean there's no constitutional reason it couldn't work like that, as far as I am aware. You can't be a member of both the Legislative and Executive Branches. The VP has a special exemption specifically spelled out in the Constitution to break ties in the Senate, but he can't be a Senator/Representative/The Speaker. Cheney famously tried to use the special carve out to justify some evil bullshit, but nobody bought it. Also, do you not remember when President Walken had to resign as Speaker and a Representative to temporarily take over while President Bartlet invoked the 25th following the kidnapping of his daughter?

They would all be in greater fear of being primaried out of their seats than a Russian invasion or whatever. Do they still follow the rule named after the child molester? I know it is hard to imagine at this point, but most Republicans in Congress are unremarkable white guys who will go along with most everything their leadership tells them. If word comes down from Ryan to support a moderate D for the speakership, most will go for it. Some will be afraid of primary challengers and refuse but most members of Congress do, on some level, want to do the right thing for their district and their party. Most have interests beyond re-election. There's, like, a handful of congressmen who will do anything to get in front of a camera and make a ton of noise but most are virtually anonymous.

lozzle posted:I hate liking Megyn Kelly. You don't have to like either of them. I'm more weirded out that Newt Gingrich is complaining about a private citizen giving paid speeches to wealthy people in a capitalist nation. Wouldn't that disqualify every single politician, but most especially every Republican politician? Just 4 years ago they touted businessman Mittens. In the past month they've even stopped praising Trump's business skills. This am bizarro.

On the East side of the state I think Rubio will depend on how disgusted the newer *big* South Florida counties are with him. Palm Beach, St. Lucie, the West, etc. I hope they don't like him at all. I bet Jacksonville will sure as poo poo vote for his dumbass though.

I'm about 30 pages late but I have family in Cincinnati and Columbus and I have always referred to it as the Nothing State. They have nothing going for them since American manufacturing ditched them, and it's basically Florida with fewer minorities. Definitely would not surprise me if they went for Trump. e: Nevermind someone already said it better Cup Runneth Over fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Oct 26, 2016 |
