That completely discouraged me from trying turkey chili.

My general impression is that in 2012 they KIND of learned some lessons and were trying to fix them but then the loonies wouldn't get on board and the establishment lost interest. Then 2014 happened so they all said "gently caress it, everyone loves us again!" so here we are.

Sarah Palin clearly thinks she's the smartest person in the world so its not surprising that she thinks that when some people spend a weekend calling her an rear end in a top hat for letting her kid stand on her dog in Palin's mind that's a national scandal that is displacing ISIS in the news. Instead of just a weekend where a bunch of people got annoyed in passing at an rear end in a top hat doing an rear end in a top hat thing. But, you know. Barack Obama eats puppies. All I know is every single time I hear Sarah Palin speak or read an article about her it makes that Julianne Moore portrayal of her seem more and more reliable and valid.

Intel&Sebastian posted:That's kind of funny because it's the exact excuse Christie used when taking money away from Planned Parenthood, he claimed repeatedly it was just budget related and had nothing to do with ideology....but now at CPAC he's touting it as pro-life credentials. Maybe Walker is just counting on rapists being a big part of the GOP tent in a few years. Isn't also exactly what he said about the changing of the the education's mission statement that caused such controversy? Didn't he say "It wasn't us, they requested it" and then immediately that was proven to be a lie and he had to go with "It was just a mistake" and then it came out that his people specifically requested it?

I feel like most of the anti-gay marriage and anti single mother people I know would be fine with a bunch of sham, loveless marriages. A bunch of gay guys would be either repressing their urges or at least having the decency to hide it and a bunch of women would be at least playing their proper role. I don't think most of the folks complaining would care too much if it was all a lie as long as the cover was maintained.

Ben Carson at a live debate is definitely what I'm most looking forward to. I hope he doesn't flame out before then like Christie seems to be doing (because I was really looking forward to that too). Carson seems to be legitimately crazy and really very stupid and he's utterly convinced he's the smartest guy in the room. Even without a hostile or liberal moderator or opponent I can't imagine him making it through a debate without making a fool of himself.

The scariest part of that scary Jindal exorcism story is that part where he casually mentions that his ex called him a sociopath and he was beginning to think he had no feelings until a demon challenged him to love. I have a friend who supports Jindal and whenever I bring up that exorcism she says "it was just college." Like that's what happens in college. You binge drink, you date rape a few girls, and you perform an exorcism. I did college all wrong.

Don't do that. I'm sure its just the same thing that leads to parents talking about nothing about their babies, teachers talking about nothing but their students, and anyone engrossed in something that is consuming their lives being able to talk about anything but that.

So more like hip hop Howard Stern. I don't watch her show or anything and her politics could have crystallized or changed over the 15 years or so since I've listened to her but my instinct would be that she's just doing her shock jock thing endorsing Trump.

I've heard Rubio talk about education reform a few times and thought his ideas were pretty reasonable and good. I also thought "this guy is never going to make it out of a Republican primary saying that stuff or get any of them to agree." So I guess we'll see. But isn't the book on him that he ran away from his immigration policy once the right put the squeeze on him?

He seems to be taking his share of shots at other Republican candidates with the "politicians who vow to take down Obamacare and then sign up for it" line or "if you hold elected office and want a new one at least have the decency to resign first". So here's hoping Mike serves a purpose by getting this thing interesting and heated.

I don't believe in Marco Rubio as a threat. I'm watching his interview with Chris Wallace and he's an absolute mess. He's salty and literally stuttering over Wallace pressing him to clarify different sounding statements. If Chris Wallace is making you look this bad then how in the world are you going to survive the presidential election?

Gyges posted:It could be argued that this is just another lurking variable come to light that is the result of the Right Wing media bubble. Everyone just spouts talking points and agrees, while the high point of disagreement is articulating just how much Liberals suck. Then every 4 years someone opens the door to the outside and interaction occurs between the denizens of the bubble and those of the real world. Suddenly Chris Mathews is tossing his soft balls over hand, and people are actually questioning the candidates firmly reinforced group think opinions. Thing is, it wasn't even Chris MATTHEWS, Rubio got "grilled" by Chris WALLACE. Jeb's disastrous week came from a question by Megyn Kelly and then screwed it up again with Sean Hannity. I'm not surprised that the Republican candidates are hostile with media, I'm surprised they're hostile with conservative media. Sure, they should encounter troubles once they leave the conservative bubble but what does it say when they're encountering these troubles inside the bubble? If one candidate is going to make a good first impression if/when they all stumble in the first debate I imagine that might be Huckabee. Just because that guy doesn't seem to blink when being asked if he cons diabetes patients out of money with sugar pills. Huckabee will just tell his lie and give his southern preacher charm and if the rest of them are stumbling over themselves he could end up looking competent.

I can never decide if I really respect how ballsy Christie is to say and do all this stuff that any sane person would know would be a bad idea or if it absolutely terrifies me. Either way he sucks, won't be president, but I hope to God he declares so he can be part of the debates. Its his destiny to curse off a presidential candidate on live tv.

SpiderHyphenMan posted:Rubio scared me until he completely walked back on his sanity concerning immigration and went full fundie with "gay marriage is the beginning of Christianity being classified as hate speech." Now he's just another crazy person with no chance of beating Hilary because he's so goddamn crazy. Yeah, he was kind of an interesting question when he was still out of it and a theoretical candidate but since declaring he's done the Republican Primary dance away from the middle and towards the crazy and he couldn't even get through an interview with Chris Wallace asking him if Iraq was a bad idea without turning into an angry, stuttering child. So now I feel comfortable that Rubio ain't a real player. Of course no Republican seems to be making themselves a real player so he could still win the primary and have an okish chance. Because some Republican has to.

I heard them talking about it on Outnumbered, and yeah its just "voter fraud" without anything supporting it. When someone quoted low numbers of voter fraud and said it was a non-issue they just said "those are only the ones you know about." When she said that there are people who don't have ids who don't find the time to get to the booths they just called her a liar. Its just gonna be that effortless dismissal.

FAUXTON posted:Instead of skeletons in his closet, Jindal has fedoras. Seriously. The most striking part of that exorcism story isn't that he kidnapped a friend and performed an exorcism because he assumed her depression over a serious health crisis had to be caused be a demonic possession. It SHOULD be the most striking part of the story, but its not. The most striking part of the story is that he says he has an "intimate" relationship with a woman he's never made any physical contact with and hasn't spoken to in a year, when she breaks down emotionally because of what she's going through he offers no support or comfort but asks others to do it and insists on not talking about it, and when she finally asks him to talk he actually refuses and she gets pissed off. And he can't understand WHY she's pissed off so demonic possession totally makes sense. Bobby Jindal is autistic.

Republicans seem caught in this middle ground with Sanders between wanting to dismiss him as a socialist and wanting to prop him up as a true challenge to Hillary. The conservative media likes to talk about "Bernmentum" a lot but its really meant to drag Hillary down. But they have to act like he can overtake her and be a serious contender for it to work.

the_paradigm_shift posted:Spoiled rich brats getting picked on by their peers is hardly a cause for sympathy. I understand the desire to take the high road, but ¡jeb isn't worth the time. Intellectually I feel no sympathy for a middle aged rich man who chooses to run for President of the United States because it turns out that he doesn't have enough self confidence or wit to fight back against grade school attacks on him. No one made him do that. Its not going to negatively impact his life. He got what he asked for. But like, at some point I don't care who it is. If one guy keeps beating the poo poo out of another guy over and over and over again with the other guy putting up no fight at all and clearly unable to defend himself... eventually I just reflexively say "Stop! He's had enough! You're killing him!" Thankfully it sounds like Jeb!'s gonna give in before that instinct kicks in.

I'm pumped for this debate because everyone is kind of desperate. Trump is slipping in polls for the first time so he's gotta fight back to maintain his big boy stance. Carson has a surge and people are starting to notice the stuff he says so he's gonna have to address some of that. Jeb!'s having some kind of breakdown and he might cry onstage. People are starting to notice that Rubio's in the room so he might have to say something. Fiorina is gonna want to be the star of another debate to get another surge so she's gonna talk a bunch about war and dead babies. And everyone else is on the brink of death and sort of needs to do something. Cruz seems like he might be the only guy who can coast. And will the kiddie table be down to 3 people this time? That's just sad. I can't wait until November when there's just 2 guys onstage pretending they're still running for President.

I think Trump is going to flame out but this feels like a bit of a false moment to me. Carson seems like he's getting that "Oh, he seems interesting... wait, what did he say?" surge so I kind of expect it to fall apart soon, especially if he gets a lot of TV time tomorrow at the debate and someone presses some of his crazy. Carson doesn't respond to Trump's juvenile attacks the way Jeb! does but he gets testy when people challenge his crazy rear end ideas and statements. And that could quickly undermine the "nice, reasonable guy" image he seems to be riding on. But I wonder if it does play that way and Trump jumps back into the lead if that will strengthen him and make him look like he fought back a challenge. That might renew people's interest in him and convince more people he's viable. I still think he'll probably fade out by the time its all said and done but it could prolong things for him if Carson drops this lead quickly back to him. Full Disclaimer: I know nothing and don't pretend otherwise. This is just my bullshit "dude on the internet" random thoughts.
