Answer: No. They're stupid, just as Lord President Trump has said.

Huckabee is in this for Huckabee alone and he's sick of Cruz bogarting his marks.

I don't usually watch CNN. Is it common for Don Lemon to be discussing things with what appears to a random Trump Supporter pulled off the street and some random shock jock I never heard of? The entire premise of this segment confuses me. I don't have much of any respect for Don Lemon but why exactly does he care what these people think?

I dunno, f Don Lemon absolutely must remain on air, that sounds like exactly the level of work he should be assigned.

FINALLY.

It's the CORRECT Top 6 too from my Republican perspective. I'm glad to see Christie surging ahead of the likes of Fiorina, Kasich, and Paul.

Bummer about Graham not being in future undercard debates though. And with Rand in them to boot. WHY LINDSEY WHY???

Game Change suggested that Huckabee purposefully stayed in the 2008 presidential race as a favor to McCain to deny support to Romney. I think he just likes to play the spoiler candidate.

She had that little surge between the first and second debates where she was one of the "leaders". That was a different primary atmosphere. Trump hadn't taken a huge lead yet and was still seen as the guy who was inevitable going to collapse. Jeb was still in double digits and a contender. Cruz was still way in the back. Carson was just starting to surge and would soon look like it was him and Trump in the front of the race. Back in those days Carly briefly had numbers in the same range as Jeb and Rubio and it seemed like the three "outsiders" were leading the day.

Then everyone realized Carly and Carson were idiots utterly unqualified but that doesn't matter for Trump because he says obnoxious stuff, so here we are.

What the image shows is that at her peak, people expected her to clear 14% of the vote in the Iowa caucus. I bet against that and now the current expectation is that she'll manage 1.8%

Anyone who doesn't consider Die Hard a Christmas move can get the gently caress out of my country.

It takes place during CHRISTMAS time at a CHRISTMAS party and the hero/main character is there because he traveled to spend CHRISTMAS with his children.

The movie features an assortment of Christmas songs/carols, as well as numerous Holiday-themed lines and jokes cracked by friend and fo alike.

Die Hard and Christmas Vacation are my 2 Christmas Eve MUST-WATCH movies after the little one(s) are put to bed.

MediaPredict, which as one might expect is mostly for media stuff, and their betting system focuses around relative percentages instead of even yes/no.

e.g. a lot of the options available are things like this:


And instead of say, predictit's version which would be "angry birds will be over 35 million bucks yes/no", you just put money in for above or below the current point, so even if you bet on "more than 35.07 million" and it was actually $34.98 million you only lose a percentage rather than everything. And the value presented for the next guy changes depending on what you did.

It's monopoly money that you can actually withdraw once you have more than $20 if you want. $1000 of their dollars = $1 USD.

You're started with $10 real money worth, I'm up to $40 from doing good on bets.

While Carson seemed to find an actual demographic it felt like Fiorina and him were the "look at us, we're diverse" candidates. Fiorina has no use to the Sith lords if the race is already transitioning into raw sexism, and Trump's schlongnalling that it may be.

Poor Jeb! is trapped. On one hand his campaign message has basically turned into "Trump is a mean jerk and that's not right", but on the other hand liberals complaining about people offending them is still lame political correctness nonsense and victimization. So what to do when Trump is a mean jerk to liberals? Jeb! is not nearly savvy enough to find a good way to say "I meant it's bad when Trump is mean to me, but it's fine when it's about Hillary." Instead it comes out all Jeb! So wormy and spineless with the slightest hint that Jeb! may know he's just accused himself of "playing the victim card like Hillary" and his self hate grows just a little more.

And there's no way Jeb! would ever go the kiddie debate. Either
1) He'd drop out in embarrassment, this being the final insult.
2) The network would fiddle with the rules to get him on the main stage like they did with Carly and Rand.
3) He'd have a meltdown and make a failed attempt on Trump's life.

Obviously I'd hope for 3 but 2 seems like a safe bet.
