Trump's in it to win it.

I predict Marco Rubio will win according to the media and Trump will win every online poll (except perhaps the one in this thread). Book it.

I did some Joementum-style spreadsheeting over the past few days. The only state that a non-Trump could win if the election was today is Texas, which has 158 delegates (almost 20% of the entire day). Those 158 are distributed proportionately with 47 going to anyone clearing 20% and 108 to congressional district winners + 3 party VIPs. Knowing Trump will come out of every other state with a minimum of 300 and maybe 400+ delegates, Rubio has to keep Trump's numbers down in Texas or possibly lose on the spot. There is one and only one way for this to happen: Cruz has to win the state and everyone has to break 20%. If Cruz' support collapses, even Rubio winning wouldn't help him since Trump would win a lot of districts and probably get 40%+ of the delegates either way. On the other hand, Cruz is probably dropping out after Super Tuesday anyway and his delegates will be up for grabs, so every Cruz delegate is implicitly pro-Rubio to begin with. This means that Rubio has a surefire debate strategy: ignore Cruz and try to pull down Trump. Okay, sounds good, anyone who's finished a high school math class can figure this out so Rubio will go after Trump tonight and I can place my bets accor http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/cruz-rubio-prep-for-brutal-debate-night-219760 quote:Rubio’s playbook oh yeah, everyone running is a complete disaster factory, never mind

I never want this election cycle to end. With a narrowed field everyone is going to have to amp up their personality. Kasich is going to have to play so hard a common sense folksy that he'll pull out a meerschaum pipe and Carson will self-administer Propofol to reach herculean levels of drowse.

Wonder if Megyn will hit him with old video clips like she did with Rubio and Cruz. He'll be in for a rough night in any event (or at least what for anyone else would be a rough night).

Scrub-Niggurath posted:HOT PREDICTION: Cruz and Rubio will eat each other alive while Trump looks on smiling There's no way that Cruz and Rubio don't know that the end is near. It's time to throw a hail mary, attack Trump, and pray that something sticks. If they continue the same immigration slapfight they've repeated several times now, they both lose. Again. It probably won't work, but I do expect both of them to go after Trump tonight.

Any idea where is the debate going to be posted online first once it's over? I usually watch them while drunkenly posting itt - but I won't be home tonight until about the time it's wrapping up.

Like when Trump said that Barbara would have been a better candidate than Jeb.
