From what I remember pre-Trump I couldn't stop hearing about how Jeb! was creating an unstoppable political machine. There was no real primary happening when jeb was winning, his polling was pure name recognition. Of course the "smart washington people" were all on the jeb train, they've been completely clueless this cycle. poo poo, you still have morons going on about how trump can't win because ~reasons~~~~~.

Logikv9 posted:Jeb! couldn't stop saying stupid stuff but how well was this exploited by his rivals in the primary? From what I remember pre-Trump I couldn't stop hearing about how Jeb! was creating an unstoppable political machine. It's funny, he dominated the "invisible primary" of gathering big donor support in January 2015 so well that it intimidated Mitt Romney out of running. Now that Jeb is failing, I wonder if Mitt is kicking himself. I know for sure Ann is! This article, mentioned before, is great: quote:Since the emergence of Donald Trump as the GOP presidential front-runner, various sources close to Mitt Romney have floated the idea of the 2012 nominee reentering the current race to heroically save his party. Romney has repeatedly insisted that he's out for good this time, but now he claims that "Mitt 2016" fever is still very much alive — to the point that even a current candidate has begged him not to rule out running. "Look," Romney told the Washington Post in late December, "I had one person who was running for president, and I won’t give you the name ... called me and said, 'I hope you don’t close the door. We may need you.' That's a person running for president. A candidate. A Republican. I’m not giving it a second thought."

Pillowpants posted:It was November sometime, but I'm sure they'd pass rules to make it happen if it really needed to Well, in a brokered convention, all that goes out the window, right? If nobody has a majority, the delegates become unbound and can pick whoever they want. Given that most delegates are going to be loyal to the campaign that picked them, they'll follow the candidate's lead in the matter, but there are examples of deadlocked conventions where someone who didn't run ended up as the nominee, since the different factions wouldn't compromise with each other, but would pick a neutral third party that they felt they could control. That's how we ended up with James Garfield and Jon Snow becoming the nominees for their parties. E: it's not going to happen outside of fantasy, but that's the scenario people are projecting on Romney.

I know this is getting into the dems side, but earlier people were posting that the GOP candidates had signed up more people than Hillary for their caucus votes- is this a sign of excitement for the GOP or more than Hillary has the dem primary as a done deal this time? Also, H5N1 is playing the best long con. I can't wait to see what he had planed for Jebs loss in Iowa, and his eventual withdrawal from the race. I can't believe how excited I am for H5N1 being excited about Jeb!

1 mile below dunwoody, Iowa, a bunker lit more by computerized LED's than its fluorescents is buzzing in hushed tones. Decades of work to lay the foundation for the GOP's greatest stroke of genius. A mechanical man, a smiling mormon human to all outward apperances, but nothing but cold steel underneath. A man worthy of their legacy. Though the operation was purely professional, not even the sites legendary security could stop all workers in eyeshot from stopping to take in the moment. The top two engineers turned their keys simultaneously and the miracle man's brain lit up to receive its humble inaugural stimulus, a simple operation designed to test whether his cognition was truly functioning. The first thing the man ever saw was a computer screen. The image of Jeb Bush coupled with a quote, "People won't mind my last name, it'll be alright" Silence. Then the reply quote:‘Gosh, in my opinion, it’s not going to be as easy to make that separation as I think he gives the impression it will be.’ A cheer roared out through the base. Today, their miracle man fielded a political quandry that might give most plucky 5 year olds trouble. Tomorrow, he would rule the world.

Ben Carson is hosting a town hall in Staten Island in 30 minutes. Allegedly, silive.com will be streaming his exciting and energizing speech. The New York primary is on April 19th, so Carson is cleverly getting the jump on all his competition in that state.
