Jeb Bush pulls a brown bag out on the podium during the debate. In it, a peanut butter sandwich and a ripe banana. Just a lil' something to keep his energy up.

imagine how boring that general election would be lol

I was listening to newsradio this morning and they were talking briefly about the latest Trump dust-ups (of course). It went like this

"...so and so accosted a protester at a trump rally. the protestor, wearing an american flag shirt, was already being escorted out alongside a fellow protestor dressed in a kkk-style hood. "

"...protestors in Chicago clashed with police officers during a march to Trump Tower. Several protestors were pepper sprayed as they pushed against a police barricade..."

and in the background you hear cops yelling warnings and people yelling "gently caress Trump!"

This election rules. Hillary Clinton is boring, I'm glad Trump is around to promote chaos.

if you're a believer in the immortal science of dialectical materialism, you have to wonder whether a dynastic clinton-bush general election or the insane fascist shitshow we're gonna get would be better in the long run for heightening the contradictions

reminder to everyone that Trump ran in the 2012 GOP primary and was laughed out of the race within months for being a gasbag buffoon (also he wasn't polling so well). He has since worked on his gasbagging buffoonery and it's playing much better with voters this time, for whatever reason

Actually he only teased it to the Fox News crowd to promote his show. He was never serious about running and I have my doubts it didn't start off as a publicity stunt this time too.

Oh, he was serious. But when he realized Obama would mop the floor with him he rolled over like a dog! Sad!

I am increasingly skeptical Trump is in cahoots with democrats in any way shape or form.

It would require democrats to be strategic and intelligent about elections and that's something they've never ever been.

The guy who couldn't handle Trump in the Primaries would definitely pose a threat to someone in the General.

That actually happens a lot. Primary winners aren't always the best General candidates. See: John Kerry, Hillary Clinton v. Sanders , McGovern.

Not that I agree Jeb! would have been a good candidate, but Rubio or Kasich would be much better general candidates than Trump.

Her donor friend Roger Altman also got John Edwards knocked out of the 2008 primary with a story in National Enquirer

Edwards dropped out after South Carolina. The Enquirer story didn't blow up until a photo of him was published in July, well after the final contest in the Democratic primary.

It would be quite funny if Bill prodded Trump to run with a throwaway remark, then Trump followed through. Just another instance of Bill inadvertently holding Hillary back.

I think if he was working for the Clintons he'd have run his campaign like a very normal campaign and not done a lot of what he did? Like did Clinton (Bill or Hilary) ever kinda hide their ground game in states the way Trump seemed to do in SC and other states?

What do you mean "hide their ground game?" Was Trump more organized than he appeared?
