CubsWoo posted:Huntsman is the perfect Republican to run if all you think the Republicans need to do to win is just run more Democrats. When you run as King Moderate and can't get above third in New Hampshire with your registered Republican support in the low teens you never had a shot. Wasn't Huntsman's kiss of death a recommendation by Obama during the Primary? Oh sweet irony. Lote fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Nov 14, 2014 |

Chamale posted:One other thing I probably should tell you because if we don't they'll probably be saying this about me too, we did get something—a gift—after the election. A man down in Texas heard Ann on the radio mention the fact that her multiple sclerosis would like to be treated. And, believe it or not, the day before we left on this campaign trip we got a message from Union Station in Baltimore saying they had a package for us. We went down to get it. You know what it was? You should respect America and its Olympic athletes. She's the best god drat dancing horse this side of the Atlantic and this is the respect she gets? Edit: This just goes to show Democrats are the true culprits in the war on women. The true colors come out when politics come into play. Lote fucked around with this message at 00:16 on Dec 3, 2014 |

What if the RNC debates invited Obama to come and debate then when he expectedly declines they place an empty chair on the stage and ask it questions in between candidate questions? My campaign consulting firm is available for a modest price.

Do Not Resuscitate posted:I think this Clinton email thing has legs and isn't going away soon -- and I don't mean in a BENGHAZIBENGHAZIBENGHAZI way though that will certainly happen as well. Not only is it a call-back to a variety of negatives historically surrounding the Clintons, it brings up a whole host of questions about motive and proper decision-making in the here-and-now. The scandal needs to be simple for it to have legs and bring down a politician. Sanford? He ran off to South America to cheat on his wife. Secret Service? The agents let a guy run across the White House lawn. They paid for hookers while on duty. Iran-Contra? North sold weapons to Iran to pay for Contras. Watergate? Nixon broke into the hotel to spy on the Democrats. Etc. The scandal here is too complex that the average American is not going to follow. The one liner is "Hillary hid emails to talk smack about Obama" which is pretty benign on its face. Once you start having to explain disclosure and why it was technically illegal because of new rules enacted by Congress only the most rabid Clinton detractor is going to think that this was a scandal.

Fox hasn't been particularly inaccurate, and definitely haven't been particularly skewed to republicans, they just haven't been using top tier polling firms. 538's ratings reflect this - one of their polling forms is essentially average and the other slightly below average. Neither one exhibits a strong R bias. StagnantDecliningUnemploynentRate.jpg

The blue districts in Texas make up like 40-50% of the population. On that map you have Dallas, Harris, Travis, and Brazos county going blue. That's the 4 largest cities in Texas. Also El Paso. Those small blue dots are basically the city limits in Texas.

freemandela posted:Anything Hillary will do is better than Iraq War II: Iranian Boogaloo. Do you not remember 2001-2009? Jeb has the same foreign policy advisors as his brother, and anything neoliberals can do to the economy with trade agreements is piss in the wind compared to what will happen if we attack Iran. Considering his foreign policy team, Jeb WILL put troops on the ground in Iraq. No matter what economic disagreements you and I have with the Democratic party, their neoliberal poo poo is infinitely preferable to a war with Iran. Buy three Iraqs and we'll throw in Syria for free! But wait there's more! If you buy now, we'll even add this limited edition Iran for the same price!

Cantorsdust posted:Trump is, in a twisted way, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. He's the political outsider who's "not afraid to tell it like it is." Trump doesn't need a detailed plan to address the Middle East, Iran, Mexico, or China. He's not a politician; he's the stand-in for the average bigoted, ignorant Republican voter. Every American dreams of someone with true principles running for president--we're seeing the same effect with Bernie now (and with Campaign Obama a long time ago). It's just that Trump's principles are, well, horrendous. He's a Republican Bullworth.
