I hope Rubio beats Cruz or Trump, because he's the moderate and I'd rather see a more moderate person in the White House if the Republicans win. How could you all be so callous?

Rubio isn't a moderate. Rubio isn't anything except an empty suit twitching on its marionette strings.

Is Rubio just... done? Does everyone line up behind Kasich? Surely Kasich can't fight off Trump and Cruz

If you could meld the best parts of Kasich / Rubio / Jeb / Christie into one candidate then maybe there'd be a chance

As it is they each individually have severe flaws and shortcomings that will cost far too much

LOOK AT THAT FACE GODDAMN!

Fiorina really should have stuck with the shorter cut, it complemented her features so much better than the medium stringy hair

I wonder how long before she drops out.

Yeah keep on screaming the bad darn no-good words over and over until people just tune them out completely.

Tatum Girlparts posted:

You're vastly overblowing how important NH is. This loss is bad, and losing to Jeb makes it even worse, but he's still got a ton of the establishment behind him. He's been going nuts in NV campaigning through his friends and family there where even Trump hasn't touched yet. If he can pull a good SC showing and an NV win out no one will give a poo poo about NH

Delegate-wise the early primary states are nearly meaningless, they set a huge narrative though.

Rubio entered the weekend with an enormous gaffe, got slammed for it over three days, and (pending) came in below Jeb, confirming the speculation that his self-repetition was hurting him, which builds into and strengthens the narrative that he's a failure and empty suit and etc etc.

This primary is going to drag on forever in indecisive squabble.

There's almost no chance Rubio comes in fifth unless Christie can make up over a 3000 vote deficit

You know, as a kid and as a teenager, I always wondered why politicians didn't just aggressively use the media to get their message across, to actively call out their opponents and lodge grievances. All the politicians always seemed super reserved and passive, timid, low energy... I thought, if I was ever gonna be a politician, I'd just call out every single bullshit tactic and underhanded plot against me

And finally we get Donald Trump who actually is doing exactly that, and he's able to do that because he has no real skin in the game, nothing to lose really since he can just go back to his gold-plated corporation instead of sinking into irrelevancy, and he's crushing the Republican primary.
