I don't know if we'll get this kind of VP pick again. But then again we got Paul Ryan get slammed by Biden in spectacular fashion so can't count anything out. Yeah but Paul Ryan met the minimum requirement for presentability, in that Joe Sixpack couldn't immediately tell he was a moron. Remember when a bunch of media outlets agreed that Ryan '''''won''''' that debate?

Wisconsin went for Obama by 9.5% in 2012, Republicans aren't winning it in 2016 no matter who they run, barring a landslide.

gently caress, I misclicked on the Wikipedia map and got the stats for Michigan instead. Seven points would still be a hell of a swing in a climate where most people's votes are pre-decided.

It'll probably get brought up in a campaign ad as part of a montage of reasons why Hilary is an Evil Orwellian Bureaucrat, as opposed to Scott Walker (or whoever), Man of the People, but undecided voters won't give a poo poo.

PerpetualSelf posted:Clinton is a lock. She'll have to do a lot of major gently caress ups to not get elected. Or, you know, a health problem, or a slight recession between now and Fall 2016, or a dropoff in turnout compared to 2012... Really, the biggest problem for the Republicans is the same as 2012, where they should be able to win with a 'generic Republican' candidate, but all their actual candidates are worse than that theoretical one.

Huckabee is fairly charismatic but he seems out of step with the Republican party, at once too conservative and too liberal.

Cythereal posted:I'm honestly curious at this point what any of the pubbies are campaigning on beyond "I have a time machine and can make the last eight years unhappen." I'm sure they have individual strategies, but the strategy that has a chance of working is one they're all essentially participating in - pander enough to win the primary, then present as a "reasonable" candidate in the general election, then hope that the economy goes bad / Hillary develops a health problem / Hillary eats a baby on live television, and win by default. e: simply being The Republican Candidate will assure the GOP nominee 47% of the national vote. Since all the actual candidates are so bad, the remaining 3.1% is probably going to have to come from things outside of their control (unless you count voter suppression).

Trump says multiple times in his recent speech that he's going to file his financial disclosure next week. I really hope he follows through, if just to see how Fox tries to screen him out of the debate next.
