I will keep doing, but not worth it! The 2016 Presidential Primary Voting Thread

anyway traditionally we go by shirt color iirc.

xps yup, for Trump's base any attack ad will just increase affinity - "they're out to get him"

"keep talking mister, that's another two weeks of detention. now three weeks. i can keep doing this all day."

attack ads won't be aimed at Trump's authoritarianbots

NRO pleased with the NYT feature on his visa-worker hypocrisy. Neolibs and cons, kumbaya.

trump will lose hispanics & women by record margins for a GOP nominee, will be fun to see

Lots of Hillary Derangement Syndrome types saying she should go to jail for emails FFS but not prepared to engage with the possibility of Trump's mafia connections.

are these guys nuts?

deluded and/or moronic

someone has to figure out how to ridicule and emasculate him -- i think the problem is that all the conservative types with a talent for insults and bullying are fans of trump

seriously baffling Christie never took a crack at it, went for the murder suicide with Rubio instead

My Dad's had to have a couple procedures this week, and I've been spending time with him in the hospital, among other things watching the most regular network TV since, er, when I was in the hospital last spring. One thing i've noticed is Rubio and his PACs are spending serious coin on ads here in Tejas, with at least one running during every break during the news and other issue programming.

hi!

The Donald Trump juggernaut rolls into Florida where the GOP front-runner leads native son Sen. Marco Rubio 44 – 28 percent among likely Republican primary voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas has 12 percent with Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 7 percent and Dr. Ben Carson at 4 percent.

haha holy shit

of course, why would anyone in Florida like Rubio - he hasn't done shit for them

Florida GOP primary voters are overwhelmingly non-Cuban.

non-campaign pro-trump robocall: "The American National Super PAC makes this call to support Donald Trump. I am William Johnson, a farmer and white nationalist. The white race is dying out in America and Europe because we are afraid to be called “racist.”"

I like the term "functionally irrational" for describing what looks to be a very large voting bloc in the US (and probably everywhere).

The American National Super PAC makes this call to support Donald Trump. I am William Johnson, a farmer and white nationalist. The white race is dying out in America and Europe because we are afraid to be called “racist.”

this call is getting worse all the time

warning: boxing history

@mtaibbi
Trump-Hillary would be Hagler-Hearns, for months and with no breaks between rounds. Unmatched rage/ugliness factor.

On Trump leading Florida polls: no surprise that America's wang likes America's head wang-waver.

i can completely see, come September, the Katha Pollitt Gang declaring that any lefty who fails to vote for HRC (even in an uncontested state) IS A FASCIST.

oh that's definitely coming

@ggreenwald Glenn Greenwald Retweeted Donald J. Trump
From August, 2011: Presume this would be a big issue in Trump v. Clinton

As bad as Qaddafi was---what comes next in Libya will be worse---just watch.

paleo support for cro magnon

^ yup

Mr. Cruz has made the case that only he is capable of beating Mr. Trump, citing his victory in Iowa.

At his own rally, though, there was at least one skeptical voice.

“Nationalism is the new thing, man,” said Jordan Voor, 30, a Trump supporter who works nearby and wore a longhorn belt buckle the size of a miniature football.

“I just kind of want to watch the establishment burn,” Mr. Voor added. “What’s the point of being conservative anymore? It’s a failing ideology.”

Kinky Friedman, a singer and humorist who ran for governor in 2006 — winning more than 12 percent of the vote as an independent — said that he admired Mr. Cruz, but was likewise drawn to Mr. Trump’s unconventional message.

Besides, Mr. Friedman predicted, the Texas primary will not matter much, anyway.

“Trump is obviously going to be the nominee,” he said. “Long may he wave.”

who could have thought that american fascism would drop the high operatic seriousness and replace it with this giggling goofball shit

So many people I knew voted for Friedman in 2006, and I told them they were crazy and he was a total jag. I should pop onto Facebook and see how many of them are voting Trump.

the bummed out dudes section at a ted cruz rally sounds like the 5th circle of hell

Everything by everyone pertaining to the 1994 crime bill is atrocious and embarrassing

Good Voxsplainer article putting that bill in perspective:

“What’s the point of being conservative anymore? It’s a failing ideology.”

Yes definitely you know what we need, we need to be MORE CONSERVATIVE

"What's the point of being conservative anymore? It's a failing ideology. You read Death in Venice!"

Methinks the Donald doth protest too much. Show voters your back taxes, @realDonaldTrump. #WhatIsHeHiding

Doesn't matter, he already called Mitt "a fool," case closed

I have a guy, one of the best guys, he called me, he said, look, these are the best returns I've ever seen—and this is a smart guy, one of the smartest

oh cool, shakespeare jokes

Jay Cost ‎@JayCostTWS

Attention sane Republicans. The number to stop Trump is 1236 delegates. Learn it. Love it. LIVE IT. 1236. 1236. 1236. 1236. 1236. 1236. 1236

I'm still mulling over the obvious question with Romney: is he deluded enough to think the party will turn to him in an open convention? I can't see why he wants to get involved--is he actually that loyal to a party that kind of hates him?

yes

he has nothing to lose by attacking Trump, unlike a lot of other "establishment" GOP cronies
