I'm a little surprised this happened with one of Jeb's staffers. It's the kind of thing you'd expect from a scrub-tier campaign like Walker or Perry. I guess the talent pool really is that shallow.

Joementum posted:All of the stuff is what you'd expect a college Republican to think is OK to write. In the past, they'd pen an op-ed for the college paper that would go through a sanity check from an editor who'd tell them to tone it down a bit. Now they just blast it out on social media. We're going to see a lot more of this as kids who were in college during the explosion of social media start getting high-level campaign jobs. Well yeah obviously, but I'd expect Jeb's people to be a little more on top of things and cast a wider net. Though I'm guessing they probably will now.

Zwabu posted:Yeah. Last time, Perry represented something to the GOP electorate. He was the God fearin', gun totin' Southern State politician with plain spoken uncompromising right wing positions, and better yet, a governor from Texas which is not only Southern but the power center of GOP politics these days. But this idea of who Perry was didn't stand up to him opening his mouth and being a dumbass, and running dumbass redneck gay bashing ads and such. Nah Perry's fall from grace began when he didn't immediately come out as an immigration hardliner; in fact that had dogged him before he even announced. Getting hopped up on goofballs before debates was just the final nail in the coffin.

De Nomolos posted:Careful with that. He ran against a horror show and made his margins in previously GOP white and Asian immigrant suburbs in Fairfax and Loudoun. That's what changed from 2009. Also, there was a noteworthy 3rd party candidate. True, but it's hard to really pinpoint how much of a spoiler effect Sarvis had. Also McAuliffe wouldn't have been able to run up the margins in NOVA/Tidewater/Richmond without an effective ground campaign. Look at Hagan in NC last year. Her loss was in large part because of not doing the legwork, and cannibalizing election day votes through early voting.

Moreover the Appalachian populations are either in states which electorally don't matter (WV, KY, TN) or there's not enough of them to overcome the urban populations (OH, VA, NC).

I grew up in a much poorer and more rural place than Ernst and people here would look at you like you're an idiot if you showed up with wonder bread bags on your feet. There's being resourceful and there's having a lick of common sense. Ages ago they used to use little plastic booties for hog farm workers to cover their feet when they had to get into the wallers or clean out pens, but surprise surprise they have zero traction and tear easily. So people just started using fishing boots instead. I can't imagine walking around on bread bags with ice all over the ground like you'd get in Iowa.

Three Olives posted:Carson has shown time after time after time that he has extremely little knowledge about any sort of geo politics or even US politics. As far as I can tell the entire explination for Ben Carson is he was gifted black doctor that said Obama and Obamacare sucks and he became just the latest black friend of the GOP like Steel and Cain before him. He could have used that position to become some sort of thought leader on a GOP overhaul on the broken US medical care system but oops it turns out he didn't really understand Obamacare that well because he is a neurosurgeon and as such has extremely limited interaction with the business end of the healthcare system and really doesn't substantially disagree with the ACA. Inexplicably he decided to give up his talents and become a right wing political celebrity that has no idea what he is talking about but as a right wing political celebrity feels obligated to run his mouth anyways. Actually he was in favor of single payer before he decided fleecing rubes was viable retirement gig.

radical meme posted:One of Cruz's big talking points is that there are "millions of voters" who have sat out the past elections when the GOP nominated a mushy middle of the road candidate and that a true conservative like him would bring those millions out to vote for him. He has talked about these millions of absent voters in the past and he made the same statement in his speech at Liberty. Is there any data anywhere that shows that these "millions of voters" exist anywhere other than in Cruz's warped mind? The idea that they exist is a major part of his imagined road to victory. While just under a million more people voted for Romney than McCain, a couple more million people voted for Bush in 2004 than either McCain or Romney. Which can easily be explained by mortality rates.
