Totalizator posted:Trump is super low energy but the other three have basically become Trump. Kasich suddenly very concerned about China's currency manipulation. it was pretty telling that all of them said they support "free trade but fair trade" and kasich said build the wall, they're legitimizing the gently caress out of his positions by agreeing with them in calm voices

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:our expectations for him at debates are really low. he didn't shout LIAR, FALSE or talk about his dick, so he looked presidential. talking about what a sweet power play the Tienanmen Square Massacre was in a debate is not some clever 11th dimensional chess move, it's stupid. it has a powerful appeal to people already behind trump and is absolutely toxic to everyone else. maybe but people have been saying "trump is saying stuff that won't appeal to anyone who doesn't already support him" since he was at 15%

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:a substantial plurality of the republican base is blood-gargling psychopaths whose biggest complaint against romney is that he didn't directly accuse obama of being osama bin laden's gay lover on stage. trump's path to the nomination has always been clear, ever since it became obvious that the GOPe can't force the others out to effect a consolidation. even after the Great Collapse marco still has trump something like 55-45 one on one, but he won't ever get a shot at that. the reason nothing matters is that all of the poo poo that most politicians never say because it's GE poison, trump is happily spraying everywhere, and the base will follow him to the ends of the earth for it. i do think he looked more presidential than in the past at this debate, but when he's talking about how awesome it must have felt to squish students under tank treads or how we must get rid of our treacherous fifth column, you get this: don't play into the narrative that GE polls matter in march, they don't

Not a Step posted:I enjoy that you've adopted the concept that a ham sandwich painted blue could garner the votes of the loyal/captive Democratic base. Its the Independents that a candidate actually needs to appeal to in order to win. most independents actually are more reliable partisan voters than most people who declare party affiliation, the mythical swing voter is virtually nonexistent in the grand scheme of things you absolutely win elections by boosting your own turnout and/or depressing your opponent's
